His lawyers were asking for 6-12 months and looked to get it until recently when Vick failed a drug test while awaiting sentencing (a big no-no).
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Michael Vick was sentenced to 23 months in prison Monday for his role in a dogfighting conspiracy that involved gambling and killing pit bulls.Breitbart
The suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback could have been sentenced up to five years by District Judge Henry E. Hudson. Vick was dressed in a black-and-white striped prison suit and apologized to the court and his family.
Vick pleaded guilty in August, admitting he bankrolled the "Bad Newz Kennels" dogfighting operation and helped kill six to eight dogs.
In a plea agreement, he admitted bankrolling the dogfighting ring on his 15-acre property in rural southeastern Virginia and helping kill pit bulls that did not perform well in test fights. He also admitted providing money for bets on the fights but said he never shared in any winnings.

Gov. Huckabee probably never read the confession of a demented killer named Glen Green before he made the monster eligible for parole.The Leader
___ Green's confession is so depraved, its sadistic details so scary that no sane, responsible adult would consider him for parole.
___ If the governor didn't read the confession, he is guilty of dereliction of duty.
___ But if he read the confession and still considers Green deserving of parole, he's certainly unfit to hold office. Who would free a madman who beat an 18-year-old woman with Chinese martial-arts sticks, raped her as she barely clung to life, ran over her with his car, then dumped her in the bayou, her hand reaching up, as if begging for mercy?
___ We're publishing the gruesome picture of Green's victim on the front page because we believe her hand is reaching up to demand justice.
___ In usual fashion, Huckabee's office didn't even contact the victim's family about the clemency.
___ Although he's required to by the Constitution, the governor, as is his custom, won't say why he granted clemency to this crazed killer (over the unanimous objections of the Post-Prison Transfer Board).
___ Huckabee apparently listened to Green's minister (and a friend of the governor), who thinks the murder was an accident and Green was forced to confess.
Read the entire thing, it is mind boggling how someone would think a person that did this is capable of being allowed to walk in society again. {granted I don't know all the facts and something could be radically different than what I believe or do know, but I would have to be proven wrong on that}

Allah posts the actual votes on his site also (visit and see, read the comments);For now. Cloture fails, 52-44. Standby for the roll and reaction.
Update: I’m hoping to get some video up of Durbin but the Beauchamp news may have me sidetracked for awhile. Here’s the roll, though, as promised. Recall that the shamnesty cloture vote this summer failed with 53 votes, not 44, although it was more politically important for the participants to be seen on the right side in that one than it was here, which probably accounts for most of the difference.
Quick and easy scan of Democrats voting against: Baucus, Byrd, Conrad, Dorgan, Landrieu, Pryor, Tester, and good ol’ McCaskill, whose objections to amnesty evidently don’t end at labor concerns. Republicans voting for: Bennett, Coleman, Collins, our friend Larry Craig, Hagel, Hatch, Hutchison, Lott, Lugar, “Amnesty Mel” Martinez, Snowe, and Sam Brownback, who was free to show his true colors today sans 11th-hour switch.
The Jena 6 news that you probably don't know:
Media myths about the Jena 6
A local journalist tells the story you haven't heard.
By Craig Franklinfrom the October 24, 2007 edition
Page 1 of 3
Jena, La. - By now, almost everyone in America has heard of Jena, La., because they've all heard the story of the "Jena 6." White students hanging nooses barely punished, a schoolyard fight, excessive punishment for the six black attackers, racist local officials, public outrage and protests – the outside media made sure everyone knew the basics.
There's just one problem: The media got most of the basics wrong. In fact, I have never before witnessed such a disgrace in professional journalism. Myths replaced facts, and journalists abdicated their solemn duty to investigate every claim because they were seduced by a powerfully appealing but false narrative of racial injustice.
I should know. I live in Jena. My wife has taught at Jena High School for many years. And most important, I am probably the only reporter who has covered these events from the very beginning.
The reason the Jena cases have been propelled into the world spotlight is two-fold: First, because local officials did not speak publicly early on about the true events of the past year, the media simply formed their stories based on one-side's statements – the Jena 6. Second, the media were downright lazy in their efforts to find the truth. Often, they simply reported what they'd read on blogs, which expressed only one side of the issue. [link]
Read it all. This is from someone who actually lives there and seems to know what they are talking about.
After you read it, remember what all those anguished congress people said about this story and try to imagine the relevance.

Police looking for accused child molesterI guess this answers Stans question on sodomy. This is one sick bastard who needs to be caught. According to the article they have been looking for a year (+) now and still have no real clue to his whereabouts. If anyone sees this man, please contact the Florence police department (or your local police) and let's get this guy off the streets before it's your little girl in the news.

Police are looking for a Florence man accused of raping and sodomizing two girls in 2006.
Florence police detective Keith Johnson said authorities have been searching for Joe Henry Jones Jr. since arrest warrants were issued for him in September 2006.
Johnson said the warrants charge Jones, 33, of 910 W. Montgomery Ave., Florence, with two counts of first-degree rape and two counts of first-degree sodomy
Both offenses are Class A felonies, which are punishable by 10 years to life if the defendant is convicted.
Johnson said Jones has reportedly been in hiding since the accusations were made against him. He said in addition to staying at the West Montgomery Avenue residence, Jones has also lived from time to time at a residence on Pruitt Street in Florence and possibly in other states.
"We have received word that he has been in Louisiana and Ohio," Johnson said. [link]

Really? Can I ask you something? WHO CARES? The Census Bureau should inform the Feds of every ILLEGAL they count on their census so they can round them up that much easier.
It's a sad day when CRIMINALS have more rights in this country than the citizens do.
WASHINGTON - Immigration officials sharpened their message a day after being coy about whether they would agree to halt enforcement raids during the 2010 census. "We won't entertain any request to scale back our efforts," Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Kelly Nantel said Friday.
Census officials had planned to speak with immigration agents about curbing enforcement during the population count, the Census Bureau's second-ranking official said in an interview earlier this week.
Raids during the population count would make an already distrustful group even less likely to cooperate with government workers who are supposed to include them in the headcount, Deputy Director Preston Jay Waite had said.
When asked Thursday if the immigration enforcement agency would consider suspending raids during the census, spokeswoman Pat Reilly said, "If we were, we wouldn't talk about it." (link)
Notice the wiggle quote at the end. We won't know if they will do it until after it is done.

Poor Kofi. One of the reasons might be the way he describes the situation "...I leave office with the (Israeli) occupation...". This type of rhetoric might actually be harmful to the peace process as it indicates that you have already taken sides and aren't interested in a 'fair' deal.
Annan 'very sad' he couldn't resolve ME conflict
Outgoing United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan expressed great sadness on Friday that he couldn't help resolve the Israel-Palestinian conflict during his term of office.
"It is with great personal sadness that I leave office with the (Israeli) occupation now in its 40th year," he said in a message to a UN-backed conference on Palestine on Friday.
Annan called on all parties involved in the conflict as well as the international community to redouble their efforts to put the Middle East peace process back on track. (link)
Of course, this is the same idiot that allowed Dafur to rage on his watch, took part in the oil-for-food scandal and cashed in to the tune of millions of dollars in pension. Sad isn't something I expect Kofi to feel more than a week out. After that, he'll feel like any other criminal who got away with it. Of all the people in the world, this one man probably set back the poor and disenfranchised the most in history.
So forgive me if I have no pity for Kofi and his sadness, if he wants real sadness, he should take a trip to some of the places that his U.N. tried to 'save'.

Mother Lied, Suspect in 5-Year-Old's Death, Police Say
Tuesday, December 05, 2006
AP
In this undated family photo released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, 5-year-old Geontae Glass is shown.
GADSDEN,Ala. — A mother's report that her 5-year-old son wasasleep in the back of a car when it was stolen was a hoax, and she andher boyfriend were being held as suspects in the boy's death,authorities said Tuesday.
The body of Geontae Glass and the car that was reported stolen Monday morning were found Tuesday in a closed garage at a house in rural Etowah County, Sheriff James Hayes said.
Police were holding Shalinda Glass, 25, of Rainbow City, and Kevin Andre Towles, who is believed to own the house where the body was found, Hayes said.
The sheriff said they would be charged with murder. (link)
Seems it was a ruse to cover up the childs death :( I hope (if found guilty) these people get the maximum sentence available. I despise people who hurt children and murder is about as far as you can go.
The boyfriend of the mother was found with over 30k in cash, weapons and drugs. Police said he thought he was in a 'safe house'. Guess not.
What is it 
Misha says? Rope, tree, neck. Some assembly required.

I hope we don't try to extradite any terrorists. If an American makes the choice to become a jihadi in Egypt, they should have to face justice in Egypt. The state department should look hard into this case and make sure this is a bona-fide case against these people, then let them rot if they are indeed terrorists. That will get rid of the whole 'geneva conventions' for terrorists bit.Egypt says arrested foreigners had terror links
AFP/File Photo: Egyptians security forces guard the site where one of the three explosions took place in...Mon Dec 4, 11:08 AM ET
CAIRO (AFP) - Egypt has said a group of foreigners arrested recentlyincluded French, US, Belgian, Syrian and Tunisian nationals who havelinks to terror groups and were recruiting Islamists for "jihad" in Iraq.
The Egyptian interior ministry said in a statement Monday it had dismantled an underground extremist organisation with links to foreign terror organisations.
French diplomatic sources had confirmed the arrest nearly two weeks ago of French Islamists in Cairo and Alexandria. Nine of them are expected to be flown back to France this week.
In other news: John Bolton is stepping down when his appointment ends at the U.N. Lots of other bloggers and news agencies are reporting on this one (I've been asleep [heh]) so I'll keep it short. I liked Bolton and told Jeff Sessions ([R] Alabama) in a letter that we needed to get him confirmed. Alas, seems that the dems and Chafee would not give him a vote, so he decided to not work after his job is over.
I'm going to have to go with Ace's reaction over this, since the U.N. won't change no matter who we send, I still advocate jumping ship (while it's burning and not totally underwater). Unlike most leftists, I don't believe that we need a nanny to tell us what to do in the world. Since the U.N. (like almost all Dems) agreed that Iraq had wmd's and that force should be used to make them comply to resolutions, they have all become enamored with 'Bush's war'. Even in the 'make-it-up' history of the NYTimes and AP, it's a hard stretch to call a war that Congress voted for 'Bush's war'. But that is the mindset of the left (including the U.N. and most of Eurabia).
I feel sorry for my daughter and when she has kids. They will get to inherit the mess that the dems leave after this congressional run of subpoenas, trials and do-nothings.
