Le Show; 2009-05-17

here it is from deep inside your radio yeah he was loud what about it supposed to be loud ladies gentlemen this is Columbus Ohio and uh... the carmetrain well first of all i should say that uh... we're you know my buddies and i are uh... on the road touring the country for information unwig dot com and just a just a friendly words to uh... the folks in uh... the areas where we're still to come in the areas where we're traversing by bus right now if you want us to visit your town fix your damn roads or we should fix the damn bus i don't know one of the two the carmetrain ladies and gentlemen speaking of the hicular traffic is uh... approaching the station for the first time since it began serious sam satellite radio saw its number of subscribers declined during a quarter of the year

indicating a rocky road ahead says the wall street journal carmetrain rides on rocky terrain company officials blame the bad economy well wouldn't you and poor car sales uh... the head of the company would like me to mention his name says it's reviewing all its contracts including with on air talent to see where it could make cuts howard you stepping up all spank starlets for a million dollars a year less right now uh... now ramen got the news for and uh... company also said and this would make me want to invest right away it's stepping up efforts to market serious an x-m satellite radio to buyers of second hand cars and that whole junker market just beckons right beyond the carmetrain baby it don't stop rolling

meanwhile the worst of the worst that's what dawn rumsfeld and uh... dick traini constantly called people who are being held in guantanamo this week we learn a federal judge has ordered a m in i detainee released from guantanamo ruling that the government government relied too heavily on problematic witnesses to make the case that he was a terrorist problematic witnesses in a forty five page opinion u.s. district judge glattis castler so the government failed to prove that allie bin allie on med johnny to allies was his ganglion no it was not his ganglion that uh... failed to prove that he supported the Taliban or al-Qaeda he was arrested in pakistan has been held at gittmostons two thousand two nice seven years for the lab much of the evidence against him was classified in her heavily redacted opinion to a castler wrote that the government presented a mosaic of evidence that's a word carefully chosen

because that is indeed the uh... template for our intelligence activities to back up allegations that omid fought in afghanistan received military style training she ruled the evidence was weak inconsistent or to speculative she wrote the government produced virtually no credible evidence to produce prove to prove that omid fought u.s.r. allied forces governments problems them from its witnesses the credibility of one was called into a question by another judge's second statements were riddled with equivocation and speculation a third alleged he was tortured and apparently suffered from psychosis and a fourth prisoner provided only a vague statement that could have been about another detainee she wrote the worst of the worst and they started they're talking about the detainees also at the top of the show people who work in chemical plants that use a produce formaldehyde or more likely to develop cancers of the blood in lymphatic system according to researchers in the national institute of health more

likely i guess that people who don't patterns of cancer found in a group of former chemical plant workers the findings are not definitive proof of come out of formaldehyde as a cause of cancer do warrant further study to assess the risk of the cancers and such work settings so stay in your travels baby it's okay need more research now ladies gentlemen um... i'm aware that on the broadcast couple weeks ago i made a uh... an assumption that turned out to be evidence of male foolishness when uh... the uh... spokesman for the miscalifornia pageant said that uh... some of the girls some of the lovely ladies where uh... breast enhancements that don't require surgery like the surgery that the pageant paid for on that miscalifornia u.s.a he referred to uh... one of the enhancements that chicken cutlets and of course you know guy the guy so i assume he went to the store

no they don't it's a silicon thing silicon thing silicon is what i'm talking to you through silicon is what you're going to be through so uh... it's silicon it's not real-checking cutlets speaking of which donald trump the ultimate diplomat was asked about the when he announced this week that he was letting carry price on keep her crown as miscalifornia despite the fact that she post for some new photos he said in some cases the pictures were lovely the ultimate diplomat and you know what other billion there would would give of his time to teach at learning annex and ladies and gentlemen if you wonder exactly how topsy turvy the times we are living in our forget about dick chainy wanting more secret stuff released in the obama administration wanting more secret stuff kept secret just think about this we've come to the point in our national history where we're now expected to feel sorry

for car dealers hello welcome to the show then and most and is and 1000 perfect and to come all the time.

My spirit gets thrown down on it sometimes. And where are the songs? Who are the trusted? Where was the home? Or did we fall on it? We'll be trying to see if it's a little way to make them want to cry. What's so funny about peace of an understanding? What's so funny about peace of an understanding? What's so funny about peace of an understanding? What's so funny about peace of an understanding?

As I walked through this terrible world searching for light in the darkness of a set of teeth I asked myself, is our woman lost? If the only thing had driven memories and each time I feel like this night is one thing I want to know What's so funny about peace of an understanding? What's so funny about peace of an understanding? Because every time I feel like this inside one thing I want to know What's so funny about peace of an understanding? Well now what's so funny about peace of an understanding? Because every time I feel like this inside one thing makes me want to cry. What's so funny about peace of an understanding?

What's so funny about peace of an understanding? From Columbus, Ohio, think of it I think of the surprise, the shock, the exhilaration I feel because I'm actually today originating from a radio station that actually carries this program. Hello, I'm Harry Scherer, welcome you to this edition of Let's Show and now the award-winning News of the Warm, won't you? Soft cuisine to the warm, we can listen to the warm. Hmm, the potential contribution to sea level rise

from a collapse of the west and Arctic ice sheet has been greatly overestimated according to a new study published in the Journal Science, scientists estimate global sea level would rise 3.3 meters, not 5 or 6 as previously thought. Put those water wings away, ladies and gentlemen, the Atlantic and Pacific seaboard of the U.S. even in the case of a partial collapse of the west and Arctic ice sheet would experience the largest increases threatening cities such as New York, Washington, D.C. and San Francisco. Long thought of as the sleeping giant with respect to sea level rise and Arctic holds about 9 times the volume of ice of Greenland, the western ice sheet is a particular interest to scientists due to its unusual below sea level topography which is believed to make it inherently stable. That's intelligent design, but the area's potential contribution to sea level has been greatly overestimated according to these new calculations. Some Michigan mammal species are rapidly expanding their ranges northward. Hello Canada, apparently in response to climate change

according to a new study in the process these historically southern species are replacing their northern counterparts. A new civil war of mammals, ladies and gentlemen, sounds like it looms, but I don't know. That may be just me. Anyway, back to the study. The finding by research is the University of Michigan State University and Ohio's Miami University, boy, Miami is moving north. Forget about the mammals. When you read about changes in floor and fauna related to climate warming, most of what you read is either predictive. They're talking about changes that are going to happen in the future or it's restricted to single species living in extreme remote environments like polar bears and the Arctic says lead author Philip Myers. But this study documents things that are happening right now here at home. We're talking about the communist mammals in Michigan. Mammals that have considerable ecological impact. They disperseeds, they eat seeds, they eat the insects, they kill trees,

they disperse the fungus that grows in tree roots that is necessary for trees to grow, and they're the prey base. I know the feeling. For a huge number of carnivorous birds, mammals, and snakes, but we don't know enough about their natural history to know whether replacing a northern species with a southern equivalent is going to pass unnoticed or is going to be catastrophic. It could work either way. What we can say, this is again the author of the study, is that the potential is there for serious changes to happen and would be really smart of us to figure it out. But that will require a lot of detailed focused ecological research. I think the time to start holding your breath begins now. Then we move to the Great North West. Climate change appears to be cutting the winter snowpack in Washington's cascade range by at least 20% according to a researcher at the University of Washington. Rising temperatures means more of the snow falls with a high water content. What else does snow contain? I know, chicken cutlets.

And melts and washes away long before it's needed by users in spring and summer months. The research found all things equal. If you make it one degree Celsius warmer, then 20% of the snowpack goes away for the central Puget Sound Base in the area we looked in. It says Joseph Kasola, a doctoral student in atmospheric sciences at the University of Washington. Lead pollution in the air. Here's another one of those cookie. You know, we thought it was bad. Now it's not so bad. Maybe it's even good. Because it's not bad. Things. Lead pollution in the air stimulates the formation of ice particles. In clouds. Team scientists from USA, Germany and Switzerland has found that particles containing lead are excellent seeds for the formation of ice crystals in clouds. This not only has a bearing on the formation of rain and other forms of precipitation, but may also have an influence on the global climate. This is because the heat given off from the Earth's surface

is more efficiently radiated into space by ice clouds with lead containing particles than has been hitherto realized. Get that lead back in the gas, quick. In comparison to clouds with a low lead content, clouds with a high lead content thus actually help cool the Earth. Over the last 20 years, there has been, as you know, continuing decrease in the rate of man-caused lead emissions. This may mean that the greenhouse effect is now even more pronounced because lead containing clouds that once previously helped limit it are reduced. And we try to be so good. Now, to the argument that climate change, whatever it is, is not caused by man but by something happened on the Sun. A favorite argument of Senator James Imhoff, the lead climate change denier in the Senate. He's from Oklahoma. The climate never changes. This troubling hypothesis about how the Sun may impact global warming is,

according to Science Daily, finally laid to rest. Carnegie Mellon University's Peter Adams, along with Jeff Pierce from Dalloozy University and Halifax have developed a model to test controversial hypothesis that says changes in the Sun are causing global warming. The hypothesis they tested was an increased solar activity reduces cloudiness by changing cosmic rays. So when clouds decrease more sunlight is led in causing the Earth to warm. Some climate change skeptics have tried to use this hypothesis to suggest the greenhouse gases are not the culprit. In research published in Geophysical Research Letters, dammit. The kid threw my copy in the lawn sprinkler. And highlighted in the May 1st edition of Science, Adams & Pierce Report, the first atmospheric simulations of changes in atmospheric ions and particle formulation, resulting from variations in the Sun and Cosmic rays. They find that changes in the concentration of particles that affect clouds are 100 times too small to affect the climate. That's the part I understood.

Climate change isn't only bad for the Earth, it may be bad for your health. Especially if you have allergies or asthma, says USA Today Global Warming is making pollen seasons last longer, creating more ozone in the air, and even expanding the areas where insects flourish, putting more people with B allergies at greater risk, according to experts. Climate change will cause impacts in every area. Wet areas will get wetter and drier climates are getting drier, says Jeffrey Domain Director of the Allergy Asma in Immunology Center of Alaska. These changes will mean more people with allergies and asthma will suffer in wet areas, mold allergies will spike. While in drier areas, pollens and other airborne irritants will become more of a problem, he says. Problems caused by climate change are already evident, especially in Alaska. He says there's been a significant shift in the ecosystem because of the rises in winter temperatures. On the average, Alaska's temp has risen five, sorry, 6.4 degrees in winter and 3.4 degrees overall.

And the earlier the snow melts, the earlier the pollen cycle begins. The plant and tree life is also changing. It's estimated that 90% of the Alaskan tundra will be forested by 2100, and the types of trees are most common. They're changing too. The warmer temperatures are also attracting insects, and the past Alaska hasn't had too many stinging insects, but he says the researcher Northern Alaska has recently seen a 620% increase, 620% increase, and the number of people seeking care for bee stings. But you know, that's a better look for the lips than collagen. A new Lancet, Lancet is the British Medical Journal. Report on Health and Social Effective Climate Change says that climate change is the biggest global health threat of the 21st century. They engaged in a year-long research project along with University College of London on the health and social effects of climate change. The report has just been released.

First, there's a massive gap in information they say in astonishing lack of knowledge about how we should respond to the negative health effects of climate change. Second, since the effects will hit the poor hardest, we humans have an immense task before us to address the inadequacies of health systems to protect people in most at risk countries. There's a technology challenge. Technologies do have the potential to help us adapt to changes in climate, but these technologies have to be developed out of greater research investments into climate change science. The fourth challenge that they say is political creating the conditions for low carbon living. And finally, there's the question of how we adapt our institutions to make climate change the priority needs to be. I don't know what they're doing up at the rope, there are ladies and gentlemen, but I have an idea. News of the warm, a copyrighted feature of this broadcast. And now to reassure you further. He's not a general, he commands no truth. He's not an inspector, he peace out those two seasons.

Inspector, general, oh yeah. Oh yeah. US prosecutors and the FBI are investigating whether two securities exchange commission lawyers are illegally used non public agency information to bet on stocks. This is from the securities and exchange commissions inspector general David Cots. Cots who told Congress that he was examining whether frequent trades by this pair broke agency rules has referred the case to the US attorneys in Washington. After finding evidence, the bets might amount to insider trading. He wrote in his latest report, both lawyers remain at the agency and deny improper conduct. The report faults the agency for a inadequately monitoring trades by employees, security and exchange commission ladies and gentlemen, and relying on an honor system. It's a regulatory agency relying on an honor system.

Ain't that cute? Irony in Washington, the lawyers frequently discussed stocks at work traded in at least one company under investigation and didn't properly disclose some transactions. Says the inspector general report. One lawyer made 247 trades in the two years ending January 2008. The agency has essentially no compliance system in place to ensure that employees don't abuse the tremendous amount of non public information. They have it, their disposal says Cots. The SEC is already working on steps to guard against potential misconduct. Never too late. Already. Says Bloomberg News. And the report doesn't conclude that insider trading actually occurred. But you never know. News from the inspector general ladies and gentlemen. That too. Is a copyrighted feature of this broadcast. It's a crime.

It's a crime. I sit there and stare like a dog at the door. Ooh, claim. Oh yes, I'll take the claim. I admit I did not treat it right. Shame. It's a shame laying here on the lawn on a coal when you know. You see the baby gone but never forgotten. This memory won't leave you alone. And the train may be long gone from station but you still hear the whistle. Still hear that whistle. And the train may be long gone from station but you still hear the whistle.

Still hear the whistle. This is the show. And what's happening in New York? We really are taking our attention off that lovely country these days. Because you know, the whole AF pack thing is happening. But the LA dog trainer of all things. They still doing that. Okay. They report from Baghdad. The financial crisis that has sent economies reeling the world over is finally seeping into a rack with potentially grave implications for the stability of the country. Why I thought the surge fixed everything.

Car sales have plummeted. In Iraq, what about junkers with XM in them? You still not buying? Okay. The once booming property market has skitted to a halt. Why it's as if it's a regular Vegas. Electronic goods that were flying off the shelves a few months back are staying put. I expect a call from Shab Shab on that subject. And in a country still threatened by an insurgency. More than a quarter of the men ages 2018 to 29 are unemployed. Iraq did receive a revenue bonanza from high oil prices last year. And its banks weren't invited to the big party. But optimistic projections made as early as recently as February that Iraq would remain immune to the global downturn approved horribly wrong phrase from the LA times. Some people said Iraq wouldn't be affected. It says Bassam Jamil Antonan economist with the Iraqi Federation of Industries. He adds, quote, those people were stupid.

The collapse in oil prices from 147 a barrel last year to $50 today has gutted revenues. In a country that depends on oil for 90% of its income. U.S. Reconstruction funding is dried up. Bye-bye. And no new resources are likely to be forthcoming from the Obama administration. Let's hope. This year Iraq is cushioned by surpluses from previous years, but next year there is a real danger the government will be in a position where they basically run out of money as a senior U.S. official. Iraq has launched a major drive for foreign investment. Hey, I got a couple on me. But private investors have shown little inclination to commit resources to a country where bombings and shootings are still a regular occurrence. Well, how about investing in a bomb factory? The number one reason is security, what happened in these past weeks didn't help, says the finance minister, referring to a sharp increase in high profile bombings in April. Iraqi and U.S. officials frequently draw a link between the need for economic development and the potential for Iraqis to take up arms against their government.

We cannot talk about stable security without economic progress as the prime minister. The shortfall in revenues has forced the government to impose a freeze on new high rings at least 30,000 planned recruits to the police and army are unhauled. Well, they got a great excuse. They didn't want to hire them anyway because they're soonies. But now they don't have to because they don't got no money. The new Iraq latest in gentlemen make you make you stand proud, doesn't it? The New York Times reported this week that the economy and its dollars, not dollars, is acting as a negative incentive for people from Mexico to come across the border to the United States. And that's not all as we'll discover in news from outside the bubble. From the times of London, a growing number of British expatriates are heading home as the sun sets on their Spanish dream.

The low value of the English pound, Britain's pound, sorry, the end of Spain's decade-long building bananza and the global financial meltdown have conspired to make Britain a more attractive place to many expatriates, despite the deepening recession at home. The Spanish sunshine and way of life cannot hide the dire recession in which Spain is falling unemployment stands at 17.5%, and more than 4 million people out of work. The property market, which employed large numbers of Britain's and southern Spain's stagnant, no new homes have been built for four months. People are going back because there's still more opportunities at home, and you have the support of family and friends. Many British expatriates speak little Spanish, so applying for unemployment or other benefits might prove difficult. No official figures exist for how many are heading home, and makes it easy to write this story, doesn't it? For the times of London owned by Rupert Murdock, the British estimates that 1 million Britons live at least part of the year in Spain.

Many returning expatriates say that all of the things are tough in Britain, competing for jobs with Spaniards who have the advantage of the language and family contacts often makes it harder in Spain. For thousands of pensioners who hope to spend their twilight years sending themselves on the coast, the fall in the pound has forced them to head home. But wait, that's not all. Also in Iraq, Iraq has lost more than half the Christians who once called it home. Mostly since the war began, and few who fled have plans to return according to the Associated Press, Pope called their attention to their plight during a mid-east visit this week. The number of Arab Christians has plummeted across the mid-east in recent years as increasing numbers seek to move to the west, saying they feel increasingly unwelcome in the Middle East. And what a better life abroad, but the exit has been particularly stark in Iraq.

The AP has found that hundreds of thousands of Christians have fled the situation holds practical implications for a ruck's future. Christians historically made up a large portion of the country's middle class, including key jobs as doctors, engineers, intellectuals, and civil servants. The vast majority of the Exodus has happened since the 2003. I have sleep deprived the 2003 invasion. The State Department says as many as 1.2 million Christians remained untool until 2003. Christians first began leaving Iraq after the first Gulf War. A few of them contemplated going back according to the UN High Commissioner on refugees. They simply do not feel safe enough. They cannot sufficiently count on state security or any other force to protect them. News from outside the bubble, ladies and gentlemen. People are staying home or people are going away. There's no trend. No trend is discernible so far. That's a copyrighted feature to you know that.

The next thing on the agenda would be what's happening with President Obama. And this answer of course is plenty. He's doing a commencement speech on Sunday today at Notre Dame, very controversial. He's made some controversial decisions this way or now some controversial decisions this week. Going back on some campaign rhetoric. He has now decided to keep the military tribunals at Guantanamo open even as he pledges still to close Guantanamo. That will leave some military commissions looking for new office space somewhere somewhere outside the continental United States, I would think. A tribunalship. Yes, he's after a 120 day moratorium on the commission's tribunals. He's his administration announced this week that they will be reconstituted just like orange juice and just about as good as reconstituted orange juice with all the nutrients missing.

And he also announced this week that the photographs of the more than 2000 photographs that the Pentagon was being court ordered to release in response to a freedom of information act suit. The administration is now going to oppose that. They had announced a month ago. They were not going to oppose it. It's still going to be up to a judge. So it's just an easy way of the president saying it's not I didn't do it. The judge made me do it. But still the story of the photographs is interesting to me partly because it realistrates again the nature of the bubble in our nation's capital and associated news capital such as New York. This weekend the city morning herald newspaper in Australia published 60 of those photographs, ladies and gentlemen, 60 of the 2000 that the Pentagon is still holding secret and still the debate rages in Washington as to whether those photographs should be released.

And today Sunday on one of the Sunday act shows, I think on CNN Hillary Rosen, a liberal spokesman said in arguing for the photos to be released. Well, they're going to leak out at some point. Babe, they already have. Of course, she used to be head of the recording industry association of America, whose sue our customers policy made the recording industry a shining beacon in the current boom. So the photos are out. Everybody in the rest of the world knows that. Apparently the people in Washington preparing for their Sunday actual appearances are so busy refining their talking points they can't bother to read the papers on the weekend. So if you want to do something that escapes the notice of the yacking class in Washington, do it on Saturday and get it covered in the rest of the world.

But so there are those those two issues that on which the president's policy appears to have changed. And another change the White House office of public liaison is now the office of public engagement part of a new effort to reach out to the American people. The Obama administration announced this week it was renaming and refocusing the office that it calls the front door to the White House. He said the office will have a new mission to help Americans take a more active role in government. The leadership of the office won't change. But the guy in the Harold and Kumar movies is giving up acting for now to move to Washington service and associate director in that office. The whole town hall meetings and other events in person and online the site will have video visits to the White House blog posts information about how Americans can get involved. I look forward to hearing more from you.

So the president. Sounds like CNN. Tell us what you think. I don't want to know what I think. I want to know what you know. Anyway, the the front door to the White House has gotten a makeover. Maybe we should walk in. Oh, good morning, Michelle. You know, they'll do anything around here to make you happy, honey. Except learn how to make musely. Well, be a little understanding. They have spent eight years of breakfast making omelette fritters. Well, I'm just trying to make a decision here.

The sleepless or the three-quarter sleepless? You know, I did get a higher score in my LSATs than a certain first black president I could imagine. But look here, I'm trying to decide whether or not to accept this TV offer. So they want you to take Miss California's crown away from her? They want me to appear as me on a family guy special. Oh, that's that cartoon show. It's an hour long special. The family guy goes to Bangkok. Well, I'd lean on the side of I'll think about it. But you know, honey, that's what we've got advisers for. Daddy, did you just try to like George Bush? Hey, Malia, somebody got up on the wrong side of ten years old this morning? Dad, I'm serious. Everybody at school is saying you bit the big weenie. Whatever that means. When I'm a lean baby, whatever it means, you pay no attention to what everybody at school says. You're the president's daughter.

And you're just like everybody else. Mom, they're saying daddy did a 180. Is that like a dating type thing? It's not physically possible, honey. Now, look, darling. I know that what your friends at school say can hurt sometimes. So let's try to help mommy for a moment. Do we think she should go on family guy as herself? Daddy, if you really went back on your campaign rhetoric, she'll be lucky to be invited on American dad. Look, sweetie. You're right. Daddy did say something different during the campaign about military commission. And daddy did say we'd release those torture photos, but before we decided to not release them. Irak, are you sure you want to do this? Malia, have you learned in school what the word pragmatism means? Yeah. God. It means fighting the big weenie. Bo! Bo! Bo, get back in here. Hi, Uncle Rob.

Hi, Malia. Bo! Oh, that's okay. He can come in. You won't say that when you see what he did in there. Rommet. Bo poop in the Jefferson study? Well, let's just say Jefferson won't be studying in there today. Bad dog. Bad dog. Now, Malia, what do you think we should do with such a bad dog? Punish him? Should we read him as Miranda rights? No. Should we release photographs of Michelle bopping him on the nose? Don't you dare say yes, young lady. No. Well, should we water hose him? Maybe. He doesn't like that. Well, that could remind him that we don't like this. Oh. Oh, it's just a little bo poop. But maybe my little girl has learned something about dogies and detainees. Things look different once you're in the White House. Don't take that any.

They sure do, darling. They sure do. Michelle, honey, you look like you just got a brainstorm. I sure did. I decided to hold out for a regular episode of Family Guy. Rommet? Yes, sir. You know, if you got to be surrounded by girls, make sure you're surrounded by smart ones. Yes, sir. One, two, a one, two, three. Out in the desert, where the sun's slowly keels deep brown. She's got a little shack of pick-up truck parked out on the edge of town. It's just what I imagine no one knows where she'd be. Maybe she's in heaven past some black algae.

Well, it's what the gentry. Well, it's what the gentry. Up in the lads, go Hollywood or maybe in Japan. Up at the cheese still beautiful, goes back forever where she can. Does she still play guitar right I saw the two? Maybe that was over. Where is Bob a gentry? Where is Bob a gentry? If I could just find you, I would love you and I'll leave you alone. If I could just find you, I would love you and I'll leave you alone. I'm 9.6 to 7.

Bob a made it on a billboard shows. I'm 10 years later, this up here, I'm all got everybody's heart. Does she ever go to chop chop and we're going back on average? Well, I was the baby who was thrown off the town I had to bridge. Where is Bob a gentry? Where is Bob a gentry? If I could just find you, I would love you and I'll leave you alone. If I could just find you, I would love you and I'll leave you alone.

If I could just find you, I would love you and I'll leave you alone. And now let us gentlemen the apologies of the week. A trip was supposed to be a special gift from Mother's Day. Dominga Lopez Santos Flam, family flew her in from San Juan Puerto Rico with her bag with medication and her leg brace. It was the first time the 73-year-old woman would have seen family in Philadelphia in five years, but when her U.S. Airways flight arrived on May 6, her luggage did not. It makes me angry, says her daughter. I'm so sad because the trip has been ruined for all of us. Inside the missing bags, Lopez Santos died, beat his medicine, and a custom-made leg brace that has allowed her to mobility since she suffered a stroke.

The airline's response as the daughter was, quote, we apologize we're doing everything we can continue to call back. That went on for three days. Now a week later, there's still no luggage. The daughter says many agents were rude, never made promise to follow up calls and never offered compensation for the $1,000 custom brace or the medication. It affects her, she says, because she can't walk. You have to carry her or put her in the wheelchair for her to do whatever she needs to do. The statement the airline said, quote, we're actively working to locate this missing bag. And of course, apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. We've reached out to this family and are working to find a satisfactory solution. U.S. Airways told a local TV station the family never told agents there was a brace in the bag. A hour after a TV station called U.S. Airways an agent called the family from the airline offering to help, he kept asking me, what can I do to make your mom stay happy since the daughter? I mean, find the bag. It was just in Philadelphia for a couple days, ladies and gentlemen. The only really bad thing about that city is having to fly U.S. Air to get there.

They lined Cleveland, Tennessee, Bradley County Mayor, D. Gary Davis. Apologize this week for his report to remarks Monday. He told the County Commissioner not to hide behind a skirt tail and suggested the commissioner had been hit too many times in the head. Unfortunately, in a moment of heated debate at Monday's commission session, I did not live up to my own personal standards and no doubt disappointed many people who may have said in a written statement. A Minnesota couple using people-to-people ambassador programs over the death of their, sorry, you suing people-to-people ambassador programs over the death of their son on a trip to Japan, expressed dismay that the Spokane-based company used their son's name in a promotional letter. They stop at nothing, says Cheryl Hill of Mound, Minnesota, whose 16-year-old diabetic son Tyler became ill and died after he participated in a climb up Mount Fuji during a people-to-people trip in July two years ago. People-to-people president Peg Thomas says the company has apologized for sending the letter in error.

A long, wrongful death lawsuit has been filed against the educational travel company, alleging that his death could have been prevented if he had received immediate medical care. They claim the trip leaders refused the team's request for medical attention. But a friend of the Hill is an April receipt of the letter signed by the CEO of the non-profit people-to-people based in Kansas, thanking for the friend, for recommending Tyler for the trip and asking whether he could recommend any other youth for the program. They've apologized. Daylon Los Angeles, Oprah Winfrey, is apologized to author James Fry for shaming him on our TV chat show amid revelations he had fabricated parts of his memoir. Winfrey's apology was first reported on the website of Vanity Fair, with the author saying he felt grateful for Winfrey's gesture. The two have a tumultuous history. Winfrey said she felt duped on the air and went on to accuse the author of betraying his readers. His berating of Fry was among the most public embarrassments for the author, who apologized back then for lying.

Months after the broadcast his publisher dropped him Winfrey and Fry appeared to... And by the way, the last half of Winfrey is Fry.

Arkansas State Senator Kim Hendren, who is currently the only announced Republican candidate for US Senator against incumbent Blanche Lincoln, has apologized for referring to Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer of New York as, quote, that Jew.

At a county Republican meeting last week, here's a good explanation though. I didn't, I don't use a teleprompter and occasionally put my foot in my mouth. At the meeting, I was attempting to explain it unlike Senator Schumer. I believe in traditional values like we used to see on the end of Griffith's show. No Jews there. I made the mistake of referring to Senator Schumer as that Jew and I should not have put it that way as this took away from what I was trying to say. When I referred to him as Jewish, it wasn't because I don't like Jewish people. I shouldn't have gotten into this Jewish business. Teleprompters are available, sir.

You know that, as I say, he is not going to release those photographs even though they've been released. And in his statement, saying he wasn't going to release those photographs, he said they'd already served their purpose in investigations of, quote, a small number of individuals. On quote, those cases were all concluded by 2004 and the president said, quote, the individuals who were involved have been identified and appropriate actions have been taken, unquote. The Pentagon conducted 200 investigations into alleged abuse connected with the photos that are now in question.

The administration did not provide an accounting of how those investigations turned out. A report, a unanimous report of the Senate Armed Services Committee said that decisions made in Washington part of the CIA Justice Department decisions to ratchet up forms of interrogation leaked over into the military interrogation system when the former commandant of Guantanamo, Major Jeffrey Miller, Major General Jeffrey Miller, was transferred to Iraq.

A few bad apples are so prime, you might as well change the uniform to plaid. A few bad apples are so prime, you might as well change the uniform to plaid. A few bad apples are so prime, you might as well change the uniform to plaid.
