More on Oceana!
Did you see the hearing over the weekend about NAS OCEANA? What a bunch of buffoons from Virginia Beach. It is flat embarrassing to believe I actually lived there. First they give permission to a developer to build these condo's right in the flight path, against the NAVY's wishes, then buy back the land for $15 million dollars last week just because of BRAC. Then to admit it on National TV in front of a Government committee. They looked like a bunch of idiots. The Governor, 2 senators (although only 1 showed up), the Mayor (her short rotund ness Meyra) and a couple of paid consultants. Florida was seated first, with Governor Bush, the mayor of Jacksonville, Florida's lead consultant (ADM) Bob Natter, who might just know a thing or 2 about Oceana and the Hampton roads area. They presented a well thought out issue for Cecil Field. Guess by the end of the week whether Oceana goes to Florida and Meyra and her council cronies get fired.
Drug dealer must forfeit lottery cash!
Texas man wins $5.5 million in a lottery, but must give it back after drug dealing conviction.
HOUSTON (Reuters) - A Mexican citizen must forfeit about $2.75 million in Texas lottery winnings because of his drug-trafficking conviction, a federal appeals court said on Wednesday.
Jose Luis Betancourt, 52, was arrested after making a cocaine delivery shortly after accepting $5.5 million for having the winning ticket in the December 11, 2002, lottery drawing, according to court documents.
A jury convicted Betancourt, who was living in the border city of Brownsville, Texas, of conspiracy and two counts of possession with intent to distribute cocaine in May 2003 and also found he must forfeit his one-half interest in the lottery ticket.
A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with the trial court judge's ruling that Betancourt bought his share of the ticket with drug proceeds because that was his only apparent source of income. The court also upheld his punishment of more than 24 years in prison without parole.
"Mr. Betancourt's luck ran out, and appropriately so," said U.S. Attorney Chuck Rosenberg
Damn the bad luck. About time. Maybe more judges should take this ones lead and start doing something about this crap. Furthermore, if he's Mexican what the hell was he doing here anyway and how did he collect the winnings? Fake Green card?
This next one is good.

Eric Rudolph, given four consecutive life terms, says he accepts responsibility. But the prosecutor and families question his sincerity.
