Note To Lilo’s Burglars: Look Out!

Because police have released these grainy pics of you.  These CCTV pictures are of the three suspects that have been caught on camera breaking into Lindsay Lohan’s Hollywood Hills home. The suspects, who covered their face with scarves, were captured on the footage walking through the gate and entering the courtyard of her property in the early hours of Saturday morning.  Detectives believe they got inside through an unlocked door before ransacking the house and stealing Lilo’s personal belongings.  You’d think these celebs would be more careful with their security… No?

The Victim of the Fox News Central Park Road-Rager Speaks!

The cyclist who says he was dragged around Central Park by a Fox News writer , who won’t face any charges in the incident, tells us neither cops or prosecutors tried very hard to investigate the incident. Speaking to Gawker today, Dooda says, “I’m shocked that there’s not anything illegal about what he did.” Dooda was allegedly dragged for four city blocks on the hood of Fox Newser Don Broderick ‘s car—which had New York Press license plates, owing to his status as a Fox News employee—two months ago after the two got into a traffic altercation.

Liberals say bill without public option won’t pass

Image...
Liberal Democrats in the House say that a healthcare reform bill that doesn’t include the so-called public option won’t pass.

President Barack Obama, as well as his press secretary and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius signaled Sunday that they were open to a healthcare bill that didn’t carry the public option. But their remarks have sent liberal Democrats into a tailspin, and haven’t drawn much backing from Republicans in Congress.

The public option would create a public insurance carrier that would be handled by the government and compete with private insurance companies, likely driving down premiums and negotiating lower payments for drugs and services.

“A bill without a public option won’t pass the House,” Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) told Politico for an article published Tuesday. “Not only are they weakening their proposal, but they are also weakening their hand. This is legislative subtraction by subtraction.”

The Congressional Black Caucus echoed Weiner’s remarks in a private letter to Obama’s health secretary, the site says.

“To take the public option off the table would be a grave error; passage in the House of Representatives depends upon inclusion of it,” wrote Reps. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), Lynn Woolsey (D-CA) and Barbara Lee (D-CA).

The three Democrats also included a list of 60 members of Congress who say the bill must contain a public option.

North Korea to reopen border with South Korea

SEOUL, South Korea (Associated Press) – North Korea agreed Monday to lift border restrictions with South Korea to allow reunions of separated families and restart stalled tourism ventures in its latest gesture of conciliation toward Seoul after nearly 18 months of rising tensions. The North, however, said in a separate statement it was putting its army on “special alert” because of South Korea's joint military drills with the United States this week, a sign that tension between the rival countries is still running high.
