    The humanitarian superpower Sweden has once again shown that it has no problem giving one vulnerable person preference over another when deciding whom to expel and who should be allowed to stay for humanitarian purposes. When Denis was only 5 years old, his mother was found dead in an apartment in Södertälje. As his Ukrainian father has renounced custody, he is now an orphan. Now the Swedish Migration Agency has decided that he will be expelled to Ukraine all by himself. There, he will probably end up in an orphanage since he has no family there who can take care...

    TRANSCRIPT: Your first time shouldn’t be with just anybody. You want to do it with a great guy. It should be with a guy with beautiful … somebody who really cares about and understands women. A guy who cares about whether you get health insurance, and specifically whether you get birth control. The consequences are huge. You want to do it with a guy who brought the troops out of Iraq. You don’t want a guy who says, “Oh hey, I’m at the library studying,” when he’s really out not signing the Lilly Ledbetter Act. Or who thinks that gay...

    Even with all of the massive economic problems that the United States is facing, if the government would just get off our backs most of us would do okay. In America today, it is rapidly getting to the point where it is nearly impossible to start or to operate a small business. The federal government, the state governments and local governments are cramming thousands upon thousands of new ridiculous regulations down our throats each year. It would take a full team of lawyers just to even try to stay informed about all of these new regulations. Small business in the...

    (WSB Radio) -- An Army veteran home on leave claims he was beaten and robbed over the weekend at a northwest Atlanta apartment complex. In a complaint filed with Atlanta police, the soldier, who doesn't want to be identified, told investigators he was sitting in his car with his cousin at the Rolling Bend Apartments when a group of men approached the car. He believes the cousin, T-J, set him up. The victim told Channel 2 Action News "they were coming up to the car and I noticed T-J hit the lock button, the unlock button, they were coming up...

    ST. LOUIS (KMOX Radio) -- Three months after the punches were thrown, a prosecutor in St. Louis County has filed charges against six people in connection with fights outside a congressional forum on health care. It happened outside a Russ Carnahan town hall meeting, on an August night when the national debate over health care reform was rising like a heat wave before a thunderstorm.

    Charleston, SC (AHN) - A 10-year-old South Carolina boy died of "drowning" several hours after he was on dry ground, a coroner's report has found. Johnny Jackson died of "dry drowning," a form of asphyxiation that happens when a small amount of water gets into the lungs and damages tissue, causing the lungs to swell and fill up with water. The boy's mother, Cassandra Jackson, said Johnny went swimming in a local pool at Goose Greek on Sunday. Though the child didn't show any signs of respiratory distress, he "soiled himself," NBC News reported. He walked home with his mother...

    Two people were killed and another was injured in a hit-and-run accident police said involved numerous bizarre twists. Now, police are trying to sort through a confusing situation that may have also involved a cover-up confession. Neighbors said a mother and daughter were fighting in the middle of Hillside Avenue, near 25th Street, early Saturday morning over money and the treatment of two children. Officials said a car plowed into the women, killing them. But, the story gets even more confusing from there. "I saw two ladies in the middle of the street arguing and they got hit by a...

    LONDON (Reuters) - For children's fantasy writer Philip Pullman, George W. Bush would make a perfect villain in his epic sagas of good and evil. "He would fit right in," said the British author of the trilogy "His Dark Materials" which now looks set to follow in the cinematic footsteps of Harry Potter and The Lord of The Rings as the next blockbuster franchise. "Bush has this baying certainty and has imposed this fervent zealotry," said Pullman whose books have been condemned by church groups for attacking organized religion. "The Christian right in America is the mirror image of the...

    ALL ABOARD! Jobs funk sparks more Bush-bashing By Shawn Langlois, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 1:52 PM ET Aug. 6, 2004 SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- President Bush has taken more than his fair share of abuse in cyberspace lately. Maybe Friday's virtual roast should have been aimed more appropriately at the economic analysts. After all, these are the guys who expected U.S. employers to add about 228,000 jobs in July when, in actuality, that number came in at about 32,000. See full story. But no; judging from the thousands upon thousands of posts piling up across the Web, it's much more fun...
