A Lesson in Murder


Regardless of who you are or where you're from, 9 times out of 10 these days you will get caught if you murder someone all thanks to forensic science and class "A" detectives. But William Walsh it would appear needed a lesson in murder 1-0-1. When his wife Leah Walsh went missing over three days ago William cried into the cameras and told police, and anyone else who would listen, that he needed help. It was believed Leah had a flat tire and someone had taken her from the side of the road on Saturday night. Two days later Leah's body was found on the side of the road. But further investigation promped officials to look closer at the crime scence. Yesterday Mr. William Walsh was charged with choking his wife to death and then staging a crime scene to cover his tracks. According to Mayor Lawrence Mulvey of Nassu County, "We allege that William Walsh choked his wife to death, staged a scene to make it look like her car had gone off the highway ... staged text messages," Mulvey said. "Mr. Walsh should not enjoy one nanosecond of freedom for the rest of his life." For this and other news please go to http://www.foxnews.com/ or http://www.cnn.com/.

Solely for Revenge


A terrifying story emerged out of Austria a couple months ago about Josef Fritzl. Fritzl, 74, reportedly locked his own daughter in the cellar of his house, raped her and fathered seven children with her over the course of twenty-four-years. Elizabeth, age 42 was freed from the abuse earlier this year. Now a new revelation is coming to light as Fritzl describes the abuse he endured by his own mother. According to reports Fritzl said, “I never had any love from her. She used to beat me, hit me until I was lying in a pool of blood on the floor. I never had a kiss. I was never cuddled.” For this reason he locked up his mother in the family's attic until she died in 1980. Fox News reports that "Fritzl told Dr. Adelheid Kastner: “I bricked in the window so that she never again saw the light of day.” Fritzl claims that the only reason he had for doing this was solely for revenge.

Marxist in the Making?


Senator Joe Biden dodged questions earlier from Flordia newscaster Barbara West about his campiagn cohort Obama and his "spread-the-wealth" remarks. Biden asked West if she were joking and then simply cut off the interview. However, it has become a concernt that Obama has made statements like this before. An example comes from his book which describes that he favored professors who shared Marxists views when he attended Occidental College in Los Angeles. The book titled "Dreams from my Father" quotes Obama as saying, "To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully, the more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists." For this and other news please go to http://www.foxnews.com/ or http://www.cnn.com/.

Gas Prices Fall


While the stock market struggled to hang on Friday the price of crude oil fell significantly. Closing in on nearly $3 for a gallon of gasoline oil saw a drop of 35 cents. According to the Lunberg survey that was conducted over the weekend we can expect for gas to continue to fall if there is no spike in prices soon and the reasons are, "Gasoline demand will continue to shrink in our weak economic condition, and retailers, who have been receiving deep buying price cuts, will be anxious to pass through any further price cuts they receive quickly. They need the sales." For this and other news please go to http://www.foxnews.com/ or http://www.cnn.com/.
