Parker Griffith, Democratic Representative, to Switch Parties As a Republican

parker_griffith_switch_parties099Rep. Parker Griffith, a freshman Democrat from Alabama, says he is changing parties to become a Republican.  It should be no surprise that he is changing parties, since he has voted against all major Democratic initiatives this year, including the stimulus, cap and trade and health care bills.

Rep. Parker Griffith has been known to oppose House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and admits he would never vote for her to be speaker again.

Parker Griffith won the seat last year by a three-point margin over Republican Wayne Parker. He replaced the retiring Rep. Bud Cramer, who was also mentioned as a possible party-switcher.

FBI Releases Classified Files on Michael Jackson

Regardless of an application under the US Freedom of Information Act, just over half of the file will remain confidential.

Information was released by the FBI that included seven separate Jackson files, with only one that revealed a 1992 extortion threat against the King of Pop that did not include any child molestation allegations.

Gen. Anthony Cucolo is complaining about the lack of soldiers because of pregnancy.  He says he had to find a way to stop soldiers from even having sex within the war zone, because they must focus on combat and in doing so, this will reveal the seriousness of not getting pregnant or even impregnating a fellow soldier.  Cucolo says he has 1,682 female out of 22,000 soldiers and it is unfair to their teammates.
