Brawl in Alabama Senate - Senator Charles Bishop Punches Senator Lowell Barron
It looked like something you'd see out of a third world country: members of an elected body getting so angry at each other that punches fly. Only this time, it happened in the good ol' USA in the Alabama State Senate. Here's more from WKRG:Senator Lowell Barron could decide as early as Friday whether he'll press criminal charges against Republican Senator Charles Bishop of Jasper.
Bishop punched Barron in the head after the two argued over a campaign finance bill which, Bishop says, was being held hostage. "It was a hospitalization punch", said Senator Parker Griffith, a Democrat from Huntsville.
Griffith says the punch was so hard, it knocked Barron over his desk on the Senate floor.
Bishop readily admits punching Barron, but Barron denies doing anything to provoke it.
However, the Republican Senator said his Democratic colleague called him an S.O.B.
Senate Democrats filed an emergency motion to expell Bishop for the rest of the session, which was set to end at midnight.
But Bishop dismissed himself after an emotional speech. "I love each of you, and most of all I love this place. But I'm going home, so have a good day." said Bishop.

UPDATE: Listen to the calls to 911 here.
Talk about a wild ride! This guy was going 50 mph in a wheelchair stuck to the front of a semi going down the highway! Good thing he had a seatbelt on. here's more from WZZM (link includes video clip):A wheelchair-bound man went on the ride of his life Wednesday after visiting a gas station in Van Buren County.
Calls began pouring in to the Paw Paw post of the Michigan State Police around 4:00 p.m. The first call came in with a woman telling dispatchers, "You are not going to believe this, there is a semi- truck pushing a guy in a wheel chair on Red Arrow Highway!"
The truck was traveling westbound on Red Arrow Highway just outside the village of Paw Paw.
Authorities responded to the call on Red Arrow Highway where the man and his wheelchair were still attached to the semi-truck.
Troopers and officers found a 21-year-old man un-harmed as he sat in his wheelchair, its handles still lodged in the truck's front grill.Labels: semi, wheel chair, wild ride

It's great to be the King, unless someone catches you with a live microphone when you think you're off camera. Here's more from the New York Post:GRUMPY Larry King was caught on camera complaining that CNN star Anderson Cooper was getting more airtime.
A video clip of King conversing with producers that was apparently recorded during a break in CNN's post-debate show Sunday night was posted on the Internet yesterday by an unidentified mischief-maker.
It fueled speculation that King, 73, is locked in a bitter rivalry with the fair-haired Cooper, who turned 40 last Sunday.
In the approximately 40-second clip - which never aired on CNN but which could be seen yesterday on youtube.com - King is seen seated in a chair, rubbing his eyes and receiving instructions on an upcoming segment from a producer.
King then testily asks the producer a question.
"What I want to know is," King said, "Anderson gets more time with his panel than we get with ours? And, if so, why?"Labels: anderson cooper, cnn, larry king

Was God trying to tell him something? Here's more from the Boston Globe:Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, a Catholic, was just answering a question about his support for abortion rights, and the harsh criticism that position has drawn from a Rhode Island bishop. Then lightning struck right as he began, cutting off his mike. Moderator Wolf Blitzer of CNN reassured the candidates that it was merely lightning, but those next to Giuliani on stage moved away from him anyway.
"As someone who went to parochial schools all his life, this is a very frightening thing," Giuliani joked, before reiterating his position that he believes abortion is wrong but that the government shouldn't impose that view on women.Labels: president 2008, Rudy Giuliani

Not sure who's the bigger idiot here: the teen aged boy who was stupid enough to throw a ball at this--rather large--rapper's face. Or the rapper himself, who goes by the name of Akon, who got mad and sent his bouncer into the crowd. The bouncer brought the kid back and pushed him on state, at which point Akon humiliated him by picking him up over his shoulders and throwing him back into the crowd of screaming white girls. We wouldn't believe it if we hadn't seen it.

Creepy Japanese Child Robot - CB2 Emulates Toddler
This thing is interesting and creepy at the same time. Here's more from Coolest-Gadgets:The robot is designed with an AI that allows it to act much like a 1-2 year-old baby. It has natural reactions to stimuli, recognizes objects, sounds and has an advanced tactile system.
For the quick and natural movements, traditional servos have been replaced with 56 pneumatic ‘muscles’. The sheer count allows for natural motion, while the system gives them speed. The not-so-cool part is the need for air tubes, so the robot isn’t completely autonomous.
It has microphones for eyes and two cameras for eyes. The eyes also move rapidly and track what’s happening around. Additionally, it has 197 tactile sensors that allow it to react to touch.

Danish Soccer Fan Attacks Referee in Euro Qualifier
Idiot! Here's more from MSNBC:An enraged Danish fan marred Saturday’s Euro 2008 qualifying when he leapt onto the field and tried to punch the referee, possibly costing his team a point and handing three to Sweden.
Denmark’s rally from a three-goal deficit at home to earn a 3-3 draw may be voided by the fan’s attempted attack of German referee Herbert Fandel, who had just awarded a penalty and sent off Danish defender Christian Poulsen with a minute to go.
The fan was prevented from striking Fandel by Danish players, but the referee walked off the field and abandoned the match.

There was a brawl during the Cubs game Friday, but it didn't clear the benches. Why? It was the Cubs fighting themselves, that's why! Here's more from Inside the Bay Area:Chicago Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano and catcher Michael Barrett shoved each other in the dugout Friday, then got into it again in the clubhouse, and Barrett wound up going to a hospital.
The confrontations in the 8-5 loss to Atlanta came after the Braves had just scored five runs in the top of the fifth to make it 7-1. With runners on first and second during the rally, Barrett allowed a passed ball and threw wildly to third for an error that let a run score.
The two confronted each other before the bottom half of the inning but were separated, and Zambrano was sent to the clubhouse by manager Lou Piniella. Barrett went to the clubhouse and wound up with a split lip that was treated at a hospital.

This is one of our favorite sports video so far this year. Baseball managers frequently argue with umpires about calls. And, occasionally, they get a little angry and make a little fuss . . . but this is classic! More from ABC 7 Sports:Phillip Wellman, the manager of the Mississippi Braves, went on a major tirade after being ejected from Friday night's game..
The Braves are a minor league team, but this was a major league rant.
Wellman threw his hat and one of the bases. He also covered home plate in dirt and crawled around the field. Near the mound, Wellman picked up the rosin bag, pretended to bite the top off of it and threw it as if it were a grenade.
Wellman waved to the crowd before he left the field for the night
