Re: JohnnyDo – Get over it. It was funny, if people were laughing at a video of me falling as a kid I wouldn't give a shit. Get a sense of humor asshole.
If you don't like what Perez posts so why do you read his blog? Obv you're not really Perezzy fans. Great post Perez, love you!
I am the floor, and I have now been sexually and publicly humiliated around the world thanks to this website. I will promptly file a lawsuit against Perez Hilton and The Little Brat to ensure nothing of this caliber happens again. You will soon hear from my attorneys Wall & Ceiling. I'm going to break you for every penny you've got bitches.
First of all, why would the poster on YouTube post that? Secondly, Perez, why would you then go and publicize it? That was stupid and you're asking for a lawsuit!
Re: Kelly –
i pity your children if you really are a mother.Re: Kelly –
You better be careful perez…you're starting to sell out a little. The money's getting to you it seems. You've resorted to basically laughing at random people. Not enough celebrities? Maybe your scared to talk about a lot of them. Who cares about a lawsuit, you wouldn't usually.
what an idiot you are.. honestly how old are you? so what if a girl fall off the stage? do u really think it's funny you retarded fat ass!!! how is that related to your stupid blog anyway? why does making fun of normal people satisfy you? r u really that insecure you moron!! get a life looser..
why would that even be something you would want to post =(
Only a cunt like yourself would post that!!! I can't believe you would take joy in a LITTLE girls pain!!!! To me it looks like she really hurt herself, and she was probably really scared and embarrassed!! You are a sick fucker and I seriously hope that something terrible happens to you!!
ha! i did that in preschool!… i also fell off a phone booth once
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH SO FUNNY
You have got to be kidding people! Lighten up!
I kept watching that video over and over laughing my ass off!!
ONLY because she was okay. Kids are resilient. I am also the type of person that laughs at myself when I fall.
Lighten up!
Thats why I love this website…you never know what to expect.
Perizzle Hizzle fo shizzle!!!!!
that is the rudest thing laughing at a little girl , wtf… id rather laugh at someone's HOMOSEXUALITY…….. now THATS some funny shit. Perez I hope you fall on your face ,,,,,,,,,,, and remember when u do that u tried to make entertainment off a child. You homo.
That wasn't really funny and its mean to make fun of little kids!
big deal!i expected sth better from u Perez.and why are we supposed to be offended by this video?i don't get it.because a little girl fell off a stage?it wasn't even an impressive fall.i have fallen so many times as a child and some times i got hurted badly.li bet u this kid didn't even get a bruise.so lame!
Re: The Floor – hahahhahah smartass
I found this really disguisting Perez! I'll admit I think people falling can at times be funny, but this is a poor child who obviously was hurt. Her head hit the fucking ground! Thats sick Perez! Don't show shit like this with children.
I really don't understand why people are freaking out… I mean come on! It says "if you are easily offended then do not click here"… This is Perez's site, and he is allowed to post whatever he feels like. I'm sure 99% of you have a myspace, and no one is telling you what you are allowed to post on your blog (with the exception of nudity I believe).
Either way, the point of the matter is that he warned that this post could offend people, and you of free will decided to click on the link and watch the video anyway. So don't try to complain about the material posted when you had valid warning and decided to continue anyway. That is your own fault. Not to mention, if you were honestly offended by that video, then why the hell are you on this site to begin with? Accidents happen all the time, and the little girl falling was hardly an offending post. So either get over it, or stop coming on this site. This truely reminds me of a presidential election; people voted for Bush or didn't vote at all and then felt that they still had the right to complain about how he was running the country. Take responsibility for your own actions. YOU decided to click the link, no one forced you, so therefore it is YOUR responsibility, not Perez's. So please stop being ridiculous and taking out your stupidity on him.
I don't know why but that is funnier than shit!
You're a fat looser, get a life, and me too for even taking the time to visit you're nasty site!
Re: Brae – Something terrible has already happened to YOU! Look in the mirror! HA HA HA HA HA! Life's tough all over bitch, get over it. It would have been funnier if she had a compound fracture and the leg splintered through the skin huh?
YOU ARE SUCH AN IDIOT.
Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters has attacked democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton – calling the senator from New York “ghastly”.
Waters, who admits to being a fan of Clinton’s rival for the democratic nomination, Barack Obama, said that Clinton would invade Iran if she was elected America’s next president.
“I was so disappointed the other night when the ghastly Hillary got Texas and kept the whole thing going," he told the Independent
Please God, let's not have this woman! Hillary will want to make her mark and show that she can be just as good as a male president, and she will invade Iran.
“Trust me. She voted to declare the Iranian Republican Guard a terrorist organisation!"
Despite being ineligible to vote, Waters, who lives in New York, said he would “buy a whole page in The New York Times” in order to “fly Obama's flag”.
“But I would be terribly afraid they'd go, 'This is that pinko shitbag who's attacking our President in time of war',” he added.
Clinton and Obama next face off against each other in the Philadelphia primary on April 22nd.
The eventual winner of the democratic nomination will go head-to-head with Republican John McCain in the battle to become the country’s president in November.
Now, one of the top investigative journalists in the country, Larisa Alexandrovna (the lead journalist at Raw Story), says:
"it seems to me that this administration has justified its crimes by NOT suspending the state of emergency that went up on September 11, 2001. They are using emergency powers if you look at the whole of the spying, military actions inside the US, etc. I would wager that if asked, this administration will admit that we have been in a state of emergency for their tenure in office."
Bush Administration Memo Says Fourth Amendment Does Not Apply To Military Operations Within U.S.
ACLU Calls For Immediate Release Of Withheld Legal Memo
March 2003 that asserts President Bush has unlimited power to order brutal interrogations of detainees also reveals a radical interpretation of the Constitution's Fourth Amendment protection from unreasonable search and seizure. The memo, declassified yesterday as the result of an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit, cites a still-secret DOJ memo from 2001 that found that the "Fourth Amendment had no application to domestic military operations."
The October 2001 memo was almost certainly meant to provide a legal basis for the National Security Agency's warrantless wiretapping program, which President Bush launched the same month the memo was issued. As a component of the Department of Defense, the NSA is a military agency.
"The recent disclosures underscore the Bush administration's extraordinarily sweeping conception of executive power," said Jameel Jaffer, Director of the ACLU's National Security Project. "The administration's lawyers believe the president should be permitted to violate statutory law, to violate international treaties, and even to violate the Fourth Amendment inside the U.S. They believe that the president should be above the law."
The Bush administration has never argued publicly that the Fourth Amendment does not apply to military operations within the nation's borders. The memo released yesterday publicizes this argument for the first time.
The ACLU has been aware of the Justice Department's October 2001 memo since last year, but until now, its contents were unknown. The Justice Department informed the ACLU of the memo's existence as a result of a FOIA lawsuit seeking information concerning the NSA's warrantless wiretapping program. The Justice Department acknowledged the existence of "a 37-page memorandum, dated October 23, 2001, from a Deputy Assistant Attorney General in OLC, and a Special Counsel, OLC, to the Counsel to the President, prepared in response to a request from the White House for OLC's views concerning the legality of potential responses to terrorist activity." Until now, however, almost nothing was known about the memo's contents - except that it was related to a request for information about the NSA's warrantless wiretapping program. The ACLU has challenged the withholding of the October 2001 memo and the issue is pending before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia
The memo released to the ACLU yesterday cites the October 2001 memo but takes its argument even further. Relying on the earlier memo, the March 2003 memo argues that the president has authority as Commander-in-Chief to bypass not only the Fourth Amendment but the central due process guarantee of the Fifth Amendment as well.
"This memo makes a mockery of the Constitution and the rule of law," said Amrit Singh, a staff attorney with the ACLU. "That it was issued by the Justice Department, whose job it is to uphold the law, makes it even more unconscionable."
The March 2003 memo was declassified in response to a lawsuit filed by the ACLU, the New York Civil Liberties Union, and other organizations in June 2004 to enforce Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for records concerning the treatment of prisoners in U.S. custody abroad. The ACLU has been fighting for the release of the March 2003 Yoo memo since filing the lawsuit. A few weeks ago, after the court ordered additional briefing on whether the Defense Department could continue to withhold the memo, the government reluctantly agreed to conduct a declassification review by March 31. The Defense Department released this memo after conducting the review
To date, more than 100,000 pages of government documents have been released in response to the ACLU's FOIA lawsuit related the abuse of prisoner in U.S. custody abroad.
If I am reading this correctly, it seems to me that this administration has justified its crimes by NOT suspending the state of emergency that went up on September 11, 2001. They are using emergency powers if you look at the whole of the spying, military actions inside the US, etc. I would wager that if asked, this administration will admit that we have been in a state of emergency for their tenure in office. Congress? Was the state of emergency lifted, yes or no?
Oh, just one more question: what are "military operations inside the U.S" actually and how often have these "operations" been carried out? Anyone? Bueller? Congress? Impeachment Table? Anyone?
Anyone who found that fall remotely funny, needs to be examined
Anti-terror laws used to spy on family
family who were wrongly suspected of lying on a school application form have discovered that their local council used anti-terrorism surveillance powers to spy on them.
The family, from Poole in Dorset, said they had been tailed for three weeks by council officials trying to establish whether they had given a false address in an attempt to get their three-year-old daughter a place at a heavily oversubscribed local nursery school, which their two older children had attended. The family had in fact done nothing wrong, and the investigation was eventually aborted.
Yesterday it emerged that Poole borough council had legitimately used the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act to monitor the family. This involved keeping a detailed log of their movements for two weeks, following the mother's car as she took her three children to school each day and even watching the family home to ascertain their sleeping habits.
The Act, passed in 2000, was supposed to allow security agencies to combat terrorism.
The 39-year-old mother, a businesswoman who wished to remain anonymous, said: "I can't imagine a greater invasion of our privacy. I'm incensed that legislation designed to combat terrorism can be turned on a three-year-old. It was very creepy when we found out that people had been watching us and making notes. Councils should be protecting children, not spying on them."

Can't wait ’til someone tapes your fat ass falling flat on your face. Now THAT would be hilarious!
When did you start becoming such a pretentious twit? Your sense of humor has been defunct for a while now…maybe it died the same day you lost your last tiny bit of relevance.
Anyone who found that fall remotely funny, needs to be examined. I normally find your "If easily Offended" interesting, but I'm very disappointed in that choice of video. Children hurting themselves is a different level of scumbag behavior. Put yourself on the list of Douchebag 2008
Obama: "Small towns cling to guns or religion"
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama came under fire on Friday for saying small-town Pennsylvania residents were "bitter" and "cling to guns or religion," in comments his rivals said showed an elitist view of the middle class.
Obama's Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, and presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain both pounced on the comments Obama made last weekend at a fundraiser in San Francisco.
Video of the fundraiser, which was closed to the press, surfaced as Obama was campaigning in Indiana, trying to highlight issues of concern to working-class voters, such as job losses and rising mortgage foreclosures.
"You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them," Obama, an Illinois senator, said.
"And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations," he said.
Clinton, a New York senator who is battling Obama for the Democratic nomination and the right to face McCain in the November presidential election, said in Philadelphia the comments showed Obama "looks down" on voters in Pennsylvania, which holds a closely watched nominating contest on April 22.
"Pennsylvania doesn't need a president who looks down on them," she said told a rally. "They need a president who stands up for them, who fights for them, who works hard for your futures, your jobs, your families."
Chinese internet blogs and chat-rooms are full of calls for a boycott of French goods and contracts since the raucous protests which forced the Olympic torch off the streets of Paris last Monday.
French businessmen in China say that they are worried by apparently spontaneous signs of anti-French feeling but say that there is no sign, so far, of any official willingness to "punish" Paris.
Some of the incidents in the French capital – especially an attempt by a demonstrator to seize the flame from a Chinese woman in a wheelchair – have been shown repeatedly on Chinese TV. "France didn't protect the sacred flame," protested the Global Times, a tabloid newspaper. "The world has seen the irrational extremism of some in the West, and also seen the incompetence of the Paris police."
Berkeley law school dean won't fire 'torture memo' author
The dean of Berkeley's law school says he is "substantively" troubled by former Justice Department lawyer John Yoo's legal memos, which critics say authorize torture, but he does not believe Yoo's conduct while working for the Bush administration justifies his dismissal from the law school where he has taught for a decade.
As a tenured professor at the University of California, Berkeley, Law School, Yoo has a guarantee of employment that can only be removed in the most extreme circumstances, writes Dean Christopher Ederly, Jr., in a statement posted to the school's Web site.
"My sense is that the vast majority of legal academics with a view of the matter disagree with substantial portions of Professor Yoo’s analyses, including a great many of his colleagues at Berkeley," Ederly writes. "If, however, this strong consensus were enough to fire or sanction someone, then academic freedom would be meaningless."
Yoo authored several controversial memos that authorized harsh interrogation methods critics say are tantamount to torture, and he outlined a legal doctrine with a vastly expanded interpretation of a president's powers during war time. The National Lawyers Guild has called on the law school to dismiss Yoo because of his hand in these opinions. Although he won't fire Yoo, Ederly harshly criticized his opinions.
"What troubles me substantively with the analyses in the memoranda is that they reduce the Rule of Law to the Reign of Politics," he writes. "I believe there is much more to the separation of powers than the promise of ultimate remedies like the ballot box and impeachment, even in the case of a Commander in Chief during war. And I believe that the revolution in sensibilities after 9/11 demands greater, not reduced, vigilance for constitutional rights and safeguards."
Ederly goes on to outline the necessary threshold to dismiss a tenured professor at a public university like Berkeley.
Assuming one believes as I do that Professor Yoo offered bad ideas and even worse advice during his government service, that judgment alone would not warrant dismissal or even a potentially chilling inquiry. As a legal matter, the test here is the relevant excerpt from the "General University Policy Regarding Academic Appointees," adopted for the 10-campus University of California by both the system-wide Academic Senate and the Board of Regents:
Types of unacceptable conduct: … Commission of a criminal act which has led to conviction in a court of law and which clearly demonstrates unfitness to continue as a member of the faculty
A little girl takes a fall…funny? Thankfully she didn't appear to be seriously hurt. Anyone who would find a child potentially injuring herself in an accident funny is one sick freak.
This very restrictive standard is binding on me as dean, but I will put aside that shield and state my independent and personal view of the matter. I believe the crucial questions in view of our university mission are these: Was there clear professional misconduct—that is, some breach of the professional ethics applicable to a government attorney—material to Professor Yoo’s academic position? Did the writing of the memoranda, and his related conduct, violate a criminal or comparable statute?
Absent very substantial evidence on these questions, no university worthy of distinction should even contemplate dismissing a faculty member. That standard has not been met.
The House Judiciary Committee is investigating the administration's approval of "torture policies" and has invited Yoo to testify along with several other current and former high-ranking Bush administration officials.
Dubya: Torture, yeah so what?
Following the ABC revelation of a torture advisory group meeting in the White House, ABC has prodded President Bush to respond to its story.
ABC caught up with Bush to respond to its story that top administration officials, as members of the National Security Council's Principals Committee, had signed off on "enhanced interrogation" techniques in 2002 that included waterboarding.
The high-level discussions about these "enhanced interrogation techniques" were so detailed, these sources said, some of the interrogation sessions were almost choreographed — down to the number of times CIA agents could use a specific tactic
Well, we started to connect the dots, in order to protect the American people." Bush told ABC New s White House correspondent Martha Raddatz. "And, yes, I'm aware our national security team met on this issue. And I approved.”…
Bush said the ABC report about the principals' involvement was not so "startling."
For all those people complaining, Maybe you just shouldnt click "If you are easily offensive"
who knew so many people would be so butthurt over something so minimal.
This site is so called celebrity Juice, i see no celebs here just an innocent little clumsy girl with ADD. Well now after all this hoopla about her she is a celeb at least in these nowadays celebrity tv standards. Maybe Pimp Perez, you should pay up and give this little girl some of your profits your making off of her!!! Did you even bother to follow up to see if she was really ok and not hooked up to a bunch of tubes in a hospital partially brain dead?
Somethings are funny and some are not, THAT was obviously debatable at least form all the responses here.
UN chief joins the Olympic boycott relay!
Ban Ki-moon, the secretary general of the United Nations, has indicated he will skip the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics this summer, capping an extraordinary week of public relations disasters for the Chinese government as it struggles to contain international anger over its policies towards Tibet and Sudan.
Officials fudged the reasons for Mr Ban's decision citing scheduling conflicts. But he is only the latest world leader in recent days suddenly to have found reasons to duck the opening events, after a similar move by Gordon Brown. Mr Ban's absence will be especially symbolic as the UN and the Olympics are meant to share global ideals
Making matters still worse for the hosts – and also for an increasingly jittery International Olympics Committee (IOC) which has been meeting this week in Beijing – has been the near pandemonium that has attended nearly every stage so far of China's much-heralded torch relay around the world.
Yesterday, protests in Buenos Aires included the unfurling of a giant "Free Tibet" banner on the torch route and a rival march organised by members of the Falun Gong spiritual movement, which is banned in China. Although the protesters were in smaller numbers than were seen during the relays earlier in the week in London, Paris and San Francisco, more than 6,000 Argentinians had signed up to a petition calling on China to talk to the Dalai Lama before the torch had even arrived on Thursday.
FUCK THESE HO'S! That was FUCKIN HILARIOUS!!! These people are being SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LAME! They are too easily offended. Booo!! BOOOO!!!
THAT WAS FUNNY! PERIOD.
hahahaha. that shits funny. everyone needs to lighten up ! dayum
Why China is the REAL master of the universe !
Cecil Rhodes, the businessman-imperialist of Africa, the creator of Rhodesia, suffered no flicker of doubt about who were the masters.
"To be born an Englishman," he mused, "Is to win first prize in the lottery of life."
It wasn't idle boasting. In the jingoistic triumphalism of the late 19th century, when waving the Union Jack was a simple pleasure, people sang: "Rule Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves" without any irony. It was a statement of fact.
quarter of mankind lived under the British flag in the largest empire the world had ever known.
And many of those parts that weren't under Britain's rule - such as the U.S. - had been created by Britain.
British missionaries had opened up the Dark Continent almost unchallenged.
The British Army found it easier to invade troublesome nations - or most of them - than it does nowadays.
Britain was the workshop of the world, dominating science, manufacturing and trade.
To many Victorians, unquestioning of the ideology that underpinned much imperialism, British supremacy was a simple matter of racial supremacy - Europeans, and the English in particular, were fated to be the masters.
The truth is that we are masters of the world no more.
Kylie Minogue's new album X is out now!!
The global power shift from the West to the East is no longer just a matter of debate confined to learned journals and newspaper columns - it is a reality that is beginning to have a huge impact on our daily lives.
What would those Victorian masters of old have made of the fact that Chinese security men were on the streets of London this week, ordering our own police about and fighting running battles with British protesters while bewildered athletes carried the Olympic torch on its relay through the capital?
It was a brazen display of how confident China has become of its new place in the world, just as the British Government's failure to take a firm stand on Chinese abuses of human rights shows how craven we have become.
The dire warnings from the International Monetary Fund this week that the West now faces the largest financial shock since the Great Depression, while the Asian economies are still powering ahead, simply underlines our vulnerability in this new world order.
The desperately weakened American dollar appears to be on the verge of losing its global dominance, in the same way as sterling lost it a lifetime ago.
The credit crunch has brought home to all of us in Britain how over-reliant our country has become on financial services. Meanwhile, the loss of our manufacturing industries to Asia continues unabated.
Last month, an Indian company, Tata, bought up what was once the cream of British manufacturing - Jaguar and Land Rover.
A couple of years ago, Nanjing Automotive, a Chinese company, snapped up MG Rover.
Just as the 19th century was the British century, and the 20th century was the American century, the 21st century is the Asian century.
But the handover of global power from the UK to the U.S. was trivial compared to what is happening now.
The U.S. was Britain's offspring, based on the same values and the same language
OMG…THERE IS A REASON THAT THE TEACHER IS HELPING THEM DOWN THE STAIRS. IF YOU LOOK YOU CAN SEE THAT THIS IDIOT ISN'T PAYING ATTENTION, STEPS AHEAD AND FALLS ON HER FACE, SHE DESERVED IT!! WHAT THE FUCK. I THINK THAT IS THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE SEEN ALL DAY!!
Idiot.
Mother denied daughter's organs!
A woman in need of a kidney transplant has been told by medical authorities that she does not have the right to her dead daughter's organs, which have already been passed on to strangers.
Rachel Leake's 21-year-old daughter, Laura, died of an asthma attack last month and because of the sudden nature of her death she could not begin the process of becoming a "living donor", whereby her kidneys could have been transplanted to her mother while she was still alive. Instead, her organs were distributed to strangers at the top of NHS waiting lists.
Laura's dying request was that her mother should have her organs, but Adrian McNeil, the chief executive of the Human Tissue Authority, said that all requests of this nature were being turned down while an ethical review of the procedure is being carried out.
Mrs Leake, 39, said: "I am angry, really angry. I am not finding comfort in the fact that she helped three people … She would have been so upset that she was not able to help her mum."
Mr McNeil said: "The ethical issue is important as there is a waiting list … If we go down the path of saying you can direct who gets your kidney after death, what if that person is not as urgent a need as someone on the top of the waiting list?"
The Iranian "Secret Missile Launch Site" Scam!
Folks, remember all those photos the mainstream media showed us that were claimed to be Iraqi WMD sites? Then after the invasion they turned out to be rather benign? (In one case, a building marked as a biological weapons lab on a US photo turned out to be a bakery.)
Then there was the photo of an Iraqi nuclear facility that a sharp-eyed Google Earth user recognized as actually being in another country entirely?
With that sordid history in mind, let us take a real look at the photo from this article, which purports to show where Iran is "developing long-range ballistic missiles capable of reaching targets in Europe".
See any launch pads?
See any actual rockets?
See any trucks able to carry rockets?
See any rocket fuel trucks or storage tanks?
See any roads strong enough to hold heavy trucks with heavy rockets?
Read the entire article. The "evidence" that this is a facility to build long range rockets rests solely on the fact that the building is the same size and shape (rectangle) as a building the Chinese use to make a rocket. Talk about a clincher!
US military turns away speed boats in Gulf !
Three speed boats of unidentified origin approached a US patrol boat as it transited the Gulf but stopped after a warning flare was fired, a US Navy spokesman said.
The USS Typhoon, a Coast Guard patrol boat, was heading from the central to the northern Gulf when it was approached by the high-speed boats, said Lieutenant Nathan Christensen, a spokesman for the US Fifth Fleet.
"Typhoon issued the standard query to the incoming small boards via bridge-to-bridge," he said by telephone from Bahrain. "Upon receiving no response, Typhoon activated a flare. Small boats stopped and Typhoon continued on its way."
Christensen said the small boats were of "unidentified origin."
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Navy operate speed boats in the northern Gulf, and have played cat-and-mouse games in the past with US warships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
In January, tensions between the two countries escalated after Iranian speed boats swarmed around three US warships transiting the Strait.
The latest incident comes amid stepped US accusations against Iran of stoking violence on another front, Iraq.
General David Petraeus, the US commander in Iraq, this week blamed Iran for an outbreak of fighting in Basra and Baghdad, charging that the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard was providing funds, training, arms, ammunition to so-called "special groups."
Re: MARACANAZO1950 – GET YOUR OWN FUCKING SITE ASSHOLE! NOBODY'S GOING TO READ ALL YOUR BULLSHIT, HOPE YOU FALL DOWN & DON'T GET UP!
US Defense Secretary Robert Gates told reporters Friday it was "inconceivable" that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad was not aware of the support.
Gates said "there is some sense of an increased level of supply of weapons and support to these groups. But whether it's a dramatic increase over recent weeks, I just don't know."
U.S. Economy: Consumer Sentiment Drops to 26-Year Low!
April 11 (Bloomberg) — Confidence among U.S. consumers fell to a 26-year low after employers fired workers and gasoline prices surged, threatening the spending that accounts for more than two thirds of the economy.
The Reuters/University of Michigan preliminary index of consumer sentiment decreased to 63.2 this month, the weakest level since 1982, when the jobless rate approached 11 percent, the worst since the Great Depression. In other figures released today, the Labor Department reported that the cost of imported goods climbed 14.8 percent in March from a year ago, led by oil
The reports validate concern among Federal Reserve officials that the economy will shrink in the first half of the year, and traders now anticipate the central bank will lower its benchmark interest rate by another half point on April 30. General Electric Co., the world's third-largest company by market value, also said today that its profit fell for the first time since 2003.
“The pocketbook issues are striking home,” Richard DeKaser, chief economist at National City Corp., said in an interview with Bloomberg Television in Washington. “People seemed here to be more focused on things like the rising unemployment rate, persistently high gas prices.”
Treasuries, which had risen earlier in the day after General Electric reported a 12 percent drop in earnings, stayed higher. Ten-year note yields fell to 3.45 percent at 11:08 a.m. in New York, from 3.54 percent late yesterday.
Job Losses
Americans are confronting the loss of 232,000 jobs so far this year, along with higher food and energy costs and overall weakening in the economy. Consumer spending in the first half will advance at the weakest rate in 17 years, according to economists surveyed by Bloomberg News.
Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have focused on the weakening economy to press the case that Republicans, led by their presumptive nominee Senator John McCain, can't be trusted with another four years in the White House.
In a speech in Indianapolis today, Obama, citing a poll, said “folks are now more downbeat about their futures than they've been in nearly fifty years.”
Import prices rose 2.8 percent in March after a 0.2 percent gain the prior month, the Labor Department said. Expenses excluding fuels jumped 0.9 percent, the most since records began in 2001.
Import Prices
Import prices were forecast to rise 2 percent, according to the median estimate of 52 economists in a Bloomberg News survey.
People will be a little less confident about the inflation outlook now than they were before the report,” said Michael Feroli, an economist at JPMorgan Chase & Co. in New York, who had forecast a 2.6 percent gain. “The Fed's going to ease, but they'd feel better about it if these numbers had come in lower. The risk remains that higher import and commodity prices may get passed on to the consumer.”
Economists had forecast the consumer sentiment gauge would fall to 69, from 69.5 in March, according to the median of 64 projections in a Bloomberg News survey.
“The consumer's feeling increasingly hemmed in,” said Brian Bethune, director of financial economics at Global Insight Inc. in Lexington, Massachusetts. “They've got higher energy bills, higher gasoline bills, higher food bills and obviously the employment markets are nowhere near as strong as they were.
A picture of a girl who fell off a stage and got back up. I'm offended that you thought that video compelling enough to feature. Running a little short on material, are we?
“The frequency and the length of deployments are stretching people to the limit and they can't tolerate it,” Charles Figley, a psychologist who directs the Traumatology Institute at Florida State University, said in a telephone interview today. “They're taking risks, taking alcohol and taking their own lives because they want to extinguish their pain.”
While 38 percent of the soldiers who took their own lives had a diagnosed mental health condition, only 27 percent were receiving mental health care, according to the CDC report.
30,000 Suicides
Each year 30,000 Americans commit suicide, according to the CDC. Suicide is the second-leading cause of death for people ages 25 to 34, after accidental injury, according to today's report, the first from an electronic tracking system meant to help researchers better understand and prevent violent death. The U.S. plans to expand the system to all states, the CDC said.
Suicide accounted for about 56.1 percent of the 15,495 reported violent deaths in the 16 states. Fewer military suicide victims were receiving mental health care than non-military victims, the report said. Violent deaths in the report were caused by intentional use of force or unintended use of a gun.
Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice 'authorised waterboarding torture of Al Qaeda prisoners'
The White House was directly implicated for the first time last night in the decision to torture Al Qaeda prisoners.
Sources say that Vice President Dick Cheney and a handful of other top politicians met in secret and agreed to the mistreatment of prisoners, according to ABC TV News and the Associated Press.
As part of the decision-making process, they were given demonstrations of the techniques used.
And as a direct result, the CIA was given the go-ahead to punch suspected terrorists, deprive them of sleep, and practise waterboarding - simulated drowning.
According to the sources, Mr Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, then Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld, former Secretary of State Colin Powell and former Attorney General John Ashcroft met in the White House following the 9/11 attacks in 2001.
They agreed to authorise what they call "enhanced interrogation techniques" as the Bush administration has defined "torture" only as actions which are designed to cause serious injury or death.
However, experts have said that waterboarding is so horrific that even the most hardened terrorists have not been able to stand it for more than a minute without begging to talk.
While there have long been suspicions that the White House was involved in the decision, the actions have until now been blamed on the CIA and unnamed officials at the Pentagon
Voters in the US has been so disgusted at the use of torture that there will now be great pressure to prosecute the White House leadership - especially Mr Cheney, who is generally seen as the most hardline of the alleged offenders.
President George Bush does not seem to have been present at the meetings and great precautions appear to have been taken to keep him out of the decision-making process.
But there was speculation last night that Mr Cheney - who is very close to the president - would almost certainly have told him in secret. It is claimed that the decision could not have been made without his implicit consent.
According to ABC there were literally dozens of White House meetings to discuss the treatment of suspected terrorists
According to the sources, Mr Ashcroft – the nation's chief legal officer at the time – ruled that the interrogation techniques were legal. However, he said he was worried by the White House meetings to discuss them.
He argued that senior presidential advisers should not be involved in the grim details.
At one meeting he apparently said: "Why are we talking about this in the White House? History will not judge this kindly."
Mr Bush has said repeatedly that the United States does not condone the use of torture.
However, the techniques used to extract information from prisoners are undeniably controversial.
Waterboarding was pioneered in the Dutch East Indies in the 16th century. Prisoners are strapped to a board and turned upside down as water is streamed over a cloth wrapped around or inserted into their mouths.
The effect is akin to gagging or choking, and the process rapidly induces the most extreme panic in those subjected to it.

hey if that video was on some lame as funniest video show, i think it would win. she's funny because she tries to step down gracefully. by the way it doesn't look like she injured herself, her face never made contact with the floor. she landed with her hands out in front of her.
WTF is so funny about this??? The fact that she bounced her chin off the floor and possibly seriously injured herself? She smiled afterward because she was probably shocked…I'm sure it hurt and find this post offensive only because you seem to think it's funny. for shame.
