there are contracts where you can get a 200-300$ cellphone for 10.

so long as you allow them to call you to cue you in on what to say

but if they- the people harassed are on camera they can be
contact by police

random innocent people are being followed and harassed this way

what you are being cued to say may hav to do with what the person did
at the bus stop before or a t the store

a whole day of this to the person everyday is tiring

Children's center spending criticized
Auditors say agency mismanaged millions of dollars.

The Los Angeles County agency charged with protecting the region's
children has misspent millions of dollars on unnecessary and overpriced
supplies, violated county spending limits, and has such a shoddy
inventory program that it can't account for all its equipment, according
to an audit released Tuesday.

In one incident, auditors said, the Department of Children and Family
Services bought more than 3,000 toner cartridges for $800,000 in June
2006 - enough to last for three years.

Yet auditors noted that the agency still ordered an additional $450,000
in cartridges the same month, paying 15 percent more per cartridge.

"The manufacturer's specifications indicate that the shelf life of the
toner cartridges is two years," auditors wrote. "At the current usage
rate, more than 4,500 toner cartridges (or more than 70 percent of the
purchases) are expected to expire and may not be usable."

A stubborn problem

Is CPS still broken?

http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/opinions/articles/0808wed1-08.html

Nearly four years after the governor pushed reforms at Child Protective
Services, the ghosts of murdered children haunt the agency.

Gov. Janet Napolitano says the reforms were good and the agency is
moving in the right direction. She also told The Republic: "Any time you
have a child found dead, there needs to be a lot of introspection."

She's right on both counts.

The tragedies have been well-documented:

Brandon Williams was 5 years old when he died. CPS evaluated his home
and called it "unsafe." He was left there, though, and the family was
assigned counseling. Now his mother, Diane Marsh, and her roommate,
Flower Tompson, are charged with killing him.

Allowing children to remain at home with services to the family is
widely recognized as being in the child's best interest - if it can be
done safely.

During last week's two-day summit, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown
thanked President Bush for leading the global war on terror. Mr. Brown
acknowledged "the debt the world owes to the U.S. for its leadership in
this fight against international terrorism" and vowed to follow Winston
Churchill's lead and make Britain's ties with America even stronger.

Mr. Brown's statements elicited anger from many of Mr. Bush's domestic
detractors, who claim the president concocted the war on terror for
personal gain. But as someone who escaped from communist Romania -- with
two death sentences on his head -- in order to become a citizen of this
great country, I have a hard time understanding why some of our top
political leaders can dare in a time of war to call our commander in
chief a "liar," a "deceiver" and a "fraud."

I spent decades scrutinizing the U.S. from Europe, and I learned that
international respect for America is directly proportional to America's
own respect for its president.

35 Israeli Soldiers 'Raped 11-yr Old Girl'
The Mercury News

It's being described as the worst sexual abuse scandal in the Israeli
army's history.

As many as 35 Israeli soldiers are suspected of statutory rape of an
11-year-old girl who lived with her family on an air force base in
southern Israel.

Defence lawyers say the girl, now in counselling, lied to the soldiers
about her age, claiming she was older, and that the sex was
consensual. Regardless, legal experts said the soldiers could still be
prosecuted for statutory rape.

The case marks a new low for the military, once Israel's most revered
institution, tarnished in recent years by incidents of financial
corruption and sexual misconduct.

Robert "Prince of Darkness" Novak's Very Sad Story

Tim Grieve, Salon, August 7, 2007

http://www.salon.com/politics/war_room/2007/08/07/novak/index.html

Robert Novak said on "The Diane Rehm Show" Monday that George W. Bush
has cut him off "the list of conservative columnists" invited to the
White House because he's now considered to be "a lot of trouble."

Don't feel sorry for Novak yet? Well, then, consider this: The man who
wrote the column that outed Valerie Plame says he's had a "very
difficult time" as a result.

"It really estranged relations between me and Karl Rove," Novak told
Rehm Monday. "His lawyers told him not to speak to me. We're talking
again now, but I don't think our relationship can ever be what it
was."

Still don't feel sorry for the man who calls himself "The Prince of
Darkness"? There's more:

AP: Seafood From China Wasn't Screened

At least 1 million pounds of suspect Chinese seafood landed on
American store shelves and dinner plates despite a Food and Drug
Administration order that the shipments first be screened for banned
drugs or chemicals, an Associated Press investigation found.

The frozen shrimp, catfish and eel arrived at U.S. ports under an
"import alert," which meant the FDA was supposed to hold every
shipment until it had passed a laboratory test.

This is really, really going to be fought by the left.

The left doesn't WANT America to win. In fact, they actively are
trying to make us lose.

It's the centerpiece of the democrat agenda: making America lose in
Iraq. So they can complain.

Well, Americans are realizing that's what democrats are doing, and the
so-called "surge" is actually going as planned.

Thing is, democrats absolutely don't want America to win. And they
have no other agenda.

So democrats will keep complaining. Day after day... "Tokyo Rose",
2007 rerun.

"In a telephone interview from Memphis on Monday, [Rep. Steve] Cohen
said he and his staff are working with former Reagan Justice
Department lawyer Bruce Fein to draw up articles of impeachment
against Atty. Gen. Alberto Gonzales," wrote the paper's Bartholomew
Sullivan.
