**** UPDATE, 3: 30 p.m.: Yeah, I’m sure his ethnicity, religion and what he did in the bathroom meant nothing. How ’bout you?:

A flight attendant reported that a panel inside the plane’s bathroom had been “tampered with,” Traverse City Police Capt. Steve Morgan said.

Passenger Bob Crosby, 74, of Traverse City, said a man seated next to him entered the plane’s bathroom “halfway through the flight,” and spent about 15 minutes inside.

The passenger, 28, of California, allegedly entered the plane’s bathroom with an “article,” but returned to his seat without it. Police would not describe that item.

If you’ve been paying attention to the latest season (Season 9) of “American Idol” (and I haven’t–that show long ago jumped the shark), you’ve already seen this.  But for the rest of us, you gotta see this funny audition by “General” Larry Platt, who was apparently some sort of figure in the civil rights movement in the ’60s (and was part of radical groups like SNCC).  He “sings” (a very charitable term) “Pants on the Ground,” a rap mocking the culture in urban America, where pants are so low they’re constantly falling to the ground (see also here), where people where stupid-looking gold and jewel-encrusted “grills” in their mouths, and where they look stupid with their baseball hats turned to the side.  He, um, “touches” on each of these.

**** SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATE ****

This week, the NAIAS–the North American International Auto Show (also known as the “Detroit Auto Show”)–is taking place.  And the biggest talk of the show is the Chevy Volt, the electric car that GM will put on sale, this year.  But the Volt is not the panacea for dependence on gasoline and oil that we thought.

In fact, the Volt isn’t completely electric and GM says it has no plans to make a completely electric Volt, though that could happen (not anytime soon).

General Motors has not confirmed it would build a pure-electric version of the Chevrolet Volt.

Now that Club Ted a/k/a Ted Kennedy is dead, I thought I’d never have to drag out the typically bloated picture of him, proudly displaying his man-boobs, er . . . “heavage,” ever again.  But I thought wrong.

The Female Version of Him . . .

Ghost of Bloated Ted Kennedy a/k/a Martha Coakley

. . . Versus Him . . .

Scott Brown in 1982:  I Know Who I’d Vote For

You can tell how desperate liberal Democrats are by the low-class tactics they perpetrate and the emptiness of those attacks.  How desperate are Democrats in the race for Ted Kennedy’s U.S. Senate seat from Massachusetts?  Pretty desperate.  Conservative Republican Scott Brown looks like he may beat liberal Democrat candidate Martha Coakley, and they’ll do anything to stop it, no matter how low.

With the help of ABC News (watch the video) and other liberal mainstream media news outlets, liberals dug up an old centerfold of a nearly-nude Brown when he was 22-years-old, posing in Cosmopolitan magazine.  He did the photo shoot when he won Cosmo’s “America’s Sexiest Man” contest.  It’s really not news, since the photos were already posted by Ana Marie Cox a few years ago on her Wonkette site.

I’ve written a great deal about Muslim doctors and nurses involved in Medicare and Medicaid fraud.  In most of the major cases involving this kind of fraud–especially in the Detroit area but all around the U.S.–the main actors almost always consist of a disproportionate share of Muslims.  And I’ve represented and currently represent brave doctors and nurses who’ve filed whistleblower actions and worked with authorities to try to stop this (if you are interested in me representing  you in such an action, please e-mail me–it can be lucrative, through a qui tam action).

Religion of “Peace” AND Medicare Fraud

And, per usual, look who dominates the latest Medicare fraud indictment out of the Justice Department and U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan.  The FBI did a series of raids on medical offices and facilities, this morning in connection with this. Unfortunately, Sheldon Light, an extremely incompetent and lazy Assistant U.S. Attorney (who sat on Muslim death, rape, and torture threats against me, after the FBI referred them to him for prosecution), is handling the case.

READ the Indictment. As you’ll note, at least five of the indicted are Muslim, and two of the three ringleaders, Muhammad Shahab and Hassan Akhtar, are from the Religion of Peace and Medicare Fraud, too.

In a six-count indictment returned on Jan. 12, 2009, and unsealed today, the 13 individuals are alleged to have participated in a Medicare fraud scheme operated out of Patient Choice Home Healthcare (Patient Choice) and All American Home Care (All American), two Oakland County, Mich., home health agencies that purported to provide in-home health services. Muhammad Shahab, 50; Christopher Collins, 38; Hassan Akhtar, 26; Curtis Mallory, 35; Mohammed El-Fallal, 55; Jessica Vigil, 34; Tariq Chaudhary, 36; Faisal Chaudry, 31; and Visnhu Meda, 29, were all indicted for conspiracy to commit health care fraud. In addition, Shahab; Pramod Raval, M.D., 56; Guy Ross, 48; Lura Barrett, 61; and Stephen Cartier, 50, were charged with conspiracy to violate the Anti-Kickback Statute. Shahab and Akhtar were also each charged with two counts of money laundering. The indictment seeks the forfeiture of assets from all the defendants.

Can you guess who these two people are? No, it’s not “Siegfried & Roy – The Next Generation,” or “Donatella Versace Divorces Her Gay Male Model.” But the people in these pics are part of a pretty big national security story. Take a guess and click below (or scroll down) to learn the answer.

We’re dealing with an upbeat sense of perception . . . at variance with reality.

—  Paul Taylor, executive vice president of the Pew Research Center and co-author of a survey and study of Black Americans, who think their lives are better despite facts that say otherwise.

It’s one thing to have a giant voting bloc that is ignorant.  They can be educated and if they are, they might change their ways.  It’s entirely another to have a giant voting bloc that is living in fantasy and refuses to wake up.

To me, racism and bigotry is most illustrated when the possessor of it is willing to stick to race- and ethnic-based discrimination, even when it hurts them personally, whether economically or in some other significant, costly way.  The Pew survey referenced above shows that Black Americans continue to live in a fantasy over the color of the man in the White House, to their own detriment.  Yes, that’s the real racism.

Despite high unemployment and shrinking incomes, black Americans are more satisfied with their situation than at any time in the past 25 years, and more than half say life will get better for them.

A poll released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center, which studies American attitudes and trends, found that 39 percent of blacks say things are better for them than they were five years ago – almost twice the percentage that said that in 2007. Twelve percent said things are worse.

It’s good that Barack Obama finally commented on the suffering of the people of Haiti and dispatched American help.  Yes, morally we should help them because it’s the right thing to do.  But strategically, we must help them because if we don’t, we’ll soon find Obama welcoming thousands more Haitian refugees to our shores and entitlement roles.

That said, before President Obama concerned himself with Haiti or any of the other most important issues of the day, he was busy hangin’ with his peeps (slang for “people” or “supporters”) at People Magazine commenting on the most important issue facing America and the world:

President Barack Obama in a recent interview expressed faith that embattled golfer Tiger Woods can restore his once-sterling reputation.

Note: roughly half of the population practices voodoo.

—Fred Taub of Boycott Watch (who has frequently been on FOX News and FOX Business commenting on Aruba and nearby Atlantic island states). Fred has a terrific, interesting, brief piece on the calamitous 7.0 earthquake in Haiti. He notes how, while his heart goes out to the Haitian people and he hopes for their recovery, he wonders why the United Nations is there in the first place. Plus he notes that, of course, without fail, the country that everyone hates–the United States–is always there to the rescue, as it is now.  Read Fred’s piece. Both of us feel for the Haitian people and pray for their relief and recovery.

Oh, and speaking of that, as Fred tells me, guess which other reviled, villainous country has already sent a relief team, as it did when natural disasters ravaged Muslims in Bangladesh, Pakistan, etc.?

US & Israel Are Rescuing Haiti

Yup, the “evil Zionist” state, Israel.   Israel already dispatched a search and rescue team, though IsraAID, and the “evil Zionists” of the Dominican Jewish community, the Chabad Jewish movement in the Dominican Republic, and the American Jewish community are sending money and other aid.  One wonders whether anyone in the Black community will remember this at the next Farrakhan, Sharpton, or Jeremiah Wright event.  Nah.  And I bet Haiti continues its practice of voting against Israel in the U.N., along with most of the rest of the world.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu ordered the Defense Ministry, Foreign Ministry and Public Security Ministry to provide extensive humanitarian aid to Haiti following the powerful earthquake that struck on Tuesday afternoon.

The murder that led to this suicide was clearly a Muslim honor killing.  The late Mohammed Abdul-Fazal Chowdhury’s wife showed him a picture of her boyfriend, and he brutally murdered her.  Yup, yet another of a gazillion examples of what happens when aliens with Third World Islamic values get a free ticket to America via arranged marriage.  Sadly, an entire Michigan city, Hamtramck (or as I call it, “Hamtramckstan”), is already dominated by Bengladeshis and Bengals like Mr. Chowdhury.

A Sterling Heights man suspected of fatally stabbing his wife committed suicide Jan. 8 in his Macomb County Jail cell, where he was awaiting trial on murder charges.

Capt. Anthony Wickersham of the Macomb County Sheriff’s Department said jail personnel discovered Mohammed Abdul-Fazal Chowdhury, 22, dead of a neck wound around 4 p.m.

“The guards went in to unlock his cell to allow his roommate back in, and they found him on his bunk with basically a self-inflicted wound,” said. “He slit his throat with a razorblade.” . . .

Chowdhury was accused of stabbing his wife, 25-year-old Suraia Miah, more than 60 times in the face, torso, head and neck, nearly beheading her, on Sept. 28, 2009.
