Victoria Jackson Hates Muslims, Loves Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum


Former SNL cast member Victoria Jackson is never one to hide her staunchly conservative political views. Her latest rant surrounds Muslim infiltration of the U.S.

Jackson, on her web talk show this week, claimed the United States is being overtaken by radical Muslims bent on bringing the nation under Sharia law.

Seriously. Citing insider knowledge, she said the following:

Victoria Jackson Pic

"I just went to a briefing in Washington DC, across the street from the Capitol, at the Longworth building at 8:30 am two days ago and it changed my life."

"For six hours, I saw pictures and names and dates and facts and Islamic law books and Korans, Surahs for six hours and they proved to me that the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated our highest positions in government and this is serious."

"Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum are the only GOP candidates to acknowledge the above facts and warn against the present threat of Islamic Law replacing the U.S. Constitution. Very few people in America are informed and educated as I am."

There you have it folks. "Few people are as informed and educated" as Victoria Jackson.

Perhaps she means that ironically, as in she is so ridiculously misinformed, paranoid and uneducated that few people could ever stoop to her level.

Eh, probably not. She also thinks Glee makes kids gay. But we need to subscribe to her Podcast for the unintentional comedy factor alone.

Abingtons alumni talk about college, jobs

Erin L. Nissley / Staff Photo From left, Patrick Salmon, Stephen Page, Crystal Page, Jessica Ingalls and Morgan Fayocavitz speak about their experiences after graduating from Abington Heights High School. The group visited their alma mater Friday to meet with students interested in learning more about college and the job market.

SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. - Rob Gagliardi knows firsthand how tough the job market is right now for recent college graduates.

After graduating this year from Marywood University with a degree in health and physical education, the Abington Heights graduate has been spending time substitute teaching while looking for a job in his field.

"It's tough out there," he told a group of Abington Heights students Friday. "You have to set yourself apart from your classmates" to build a r?sum? before graduation.

Mr. Gagliardi was one of 11 alumni who gathered in the high school library to talk to students about life after high school. The group gave advice about getting involved on campus, getting around new cities and getting ready for the job market.

"I want (our students) to be as prepared as they can be," said Assistant Principal Andy Snyder. "The graduates here have a lot of poignant things to say."

Several alumni stressed the importance of gaining experience through internships and extracurricular activities to bolster r?sum?s - and of making sure the major you choose is what you really want to do. Others talked about applying for scholarships to help pay tuition bills and other needs in college.

And while many in the group said they felt like Abington Heights prepared them for the rigors of college classes, they agreed that the amount of homework and studying outside of class took some getting used to.

Still other members talked about all the new experiences they have had since leaving high school. After graduating from Abington Heights this summer, Morgan Fayocavitz began attending the University of Central Florida this year and said she was glad she chose a school far away from home.

"It's a lot of different experiences, being in a new place and making new friends," she said.

Samsung Galaxy S II Duos getting ready for a debut in China: dual-SIM powerhouse

Do you know what?s better than a brand new Samsung Galaxy S II? A dual-SIM Samsung Galaxy S II! And that?s exactly what Samsung will deliver to Chinese shelves in the near future.?

In a move previously reserved only for feature phones and then the most affordable smartphones, Samsung is stepping up the dual-SIM game seriously and possibly playing on carrier?s nerves with the upcoming high-end Samsung Galaxy S II Duos (aka Samsung I929).

Here?s how the spec sheet of the S II Duos is expected to look like:

- 4.52-inch Super AMOLED Plus WVGA display,?

- a 1.2GHz dual-core processor,?

- Android 2.3 OS,?

- 8MP and 2MP cameras,?

- 16GB internal memory, microSD card slot supporting up to 32GB,

- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS, FM Radio, MHL video-out support,?

- 1800mAh battery.

The upcoming Galaxy S II Duos will support CDMA2000 and GSM bands, but what we?re curious about is whether Samsung will bring this outside China. The Chinese market is used to dual-, triple- and even quad-SIM handsets, and other developing markets like the Asian, African and East European are also the first to come in mind when we speak about multiple SIM support. Carrier-centric markets like the States, though, are not keen on going after multiple-SIM handsets so our guess is that this one won?t be hitting US soil. Would you like to own one, though? Let us know in the comments below.

Drifting snow makes travel tough in Great Plains (AP)

TOPEKA, Kan. ? A deadly storm that halted travel throughout the Great Plains weakened Tuesday as it headed east into Missouri and toward the Great Lakes, and officials reopened interstates in areas where motorists had been forced to adjust holiday plans mid-trip.

Authorities still were reporting snow drifts of up to 10 feet high in southeast Colorado, and Texas officials warned drivers to stay off the road in the Panhandle so crews would have a clear path to remove ice and snow. Major highways in the western half of the Oklahoma Panhandle remained closed.

Still, officials reopened Interstate 40 in the Texas Panhandle and New Mexico, and portions of Interstate 70 in western Kansas that had been closed. New Mexico reopened a closed section of Interstate 25, the main highway from Santa Fe to the Colorado line after crews cleared drifts as high as 5 feet. The storm dumped as much as 15 inches of snow as it hit parts of five states.

At least 40 people were stranded at the Longhorn Motel on Main Street in Boise City, Okla., where manager Pedro Segovia said blowing snow had created drifts 2- and 3-feet high and closed the main road.

"Some people cannot even get out of their houses. There is too much snow," Segovia said. "It's was blowing. We've got big piles. It's real bad."

Receptionist MaKenzee Grove sympathized with the 50 or so people stranded at the hotel where she works in Guymon, about 60 miles east of Boise City. She too spent Monday night there.

"I have this rinky-dink car that does not do well in this," Grove said. "If we wouldn't have had the wind, it wouldn't have been as bad. The winds ... made the drifts really bad."

A few guests traveling to Oklahoma City managed to leave Tuesday, but others would likely have to wait another night before all roads were clear, she said.

In Kansas, schools in Manhattan canceled classes Tuesday, anticipating several inches of snow. Topeka was pelted by a cold rain, which was expected to turn to a wintry mix of light sleet and snow later in the day, though forecasters expected the storm to become less potent as it moved northeast toward the Great Lakes.

Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper Ben Gardner said the patrol dealt with dozens of accidents in which motorists slid off highways Tuesday morning.

"We had ice-covered roads, covered by snow packed on top," he said.

The late-autumn snowstorm lumbered into the region Monday, turning roads to ice and reducing visibility to zero. Many of the areas hit Monday had enjoyed relatively balmy 60-degree temperatures just 24 hours earlier.

The storm was blamed for at least six deaths Monday, authorities said. Four people were killed when their vehicle collided with a pickup truck in part of eastern New Mexico where blizzard-like conditions are rare, and a prison guard and inmate died when a prison van crashed on an icy road in eastern Colorado.

Football underdog "Rudy" sacked for stock fraud (Reuters)

(Reuters) ? Daniel Ruettiger, the legendary Notre Dame football underdog who inspired the 1993 movie "Rudy," couldn't do an end run around the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The SEC on Friday charged Ruettiger and 12 others with running a stock scam associated with Rudy Nutrition - a company Ruettiger founded to try to compete against Gatorade in the sports drink market.

The company sold modest amounts of the sports drink "Rudy" with the tagline "Dream Big! Never Quit!", but the company was primarily a pump-and-dump stock scheme that created more than $11 million in illicit profits, the SEC said.

The SEC said Rudy Nutrition, which is no longer in business, provided false and misleading statements to investors.

For example, the company said that "Rudy outsold Gatorade 2 to 1!" in a major U.S. Southwest test, and boasted that the drink outperformed Gatorade and Powerade by 2 to 1 in a blind taste test, the SEC said. Both claims were false, it said.

Ruettiger agreed to pay $382,866 to settle the case, without admitting or denying the charges.

"Investors were lured into the scheme by Mr. Ruettiger's well-known, feel-good story but found themselves in a situation that did not have a happy ending," SEC enforcement lawyer Scott Friestad said in a statement.

Ruettiger was an undersized walk-on football player for Notre Dame who in 1975 was called off the bench during his last chance to play for Notre Dame at home. In a dramatic turn for the underdog, he recorded a sack, and was carried off the field by his teammates.

An attorney for Ruettiger could not immediately be reached for comment.

The SEC said Ruettiger ran the company with a college friend out of South Bend, Indiana, until October 2007 when Rocky Brandonisio became the company's president and moved the company's operations to Las Vegas.

As the company struggled financially, Ruettiger and Brandonisio recruited Ruettiger's neighbor in Las Vegas, an experienced penny stock promoter, to orchestrate a public distribution of the company stock in late 2007, the SEC said.

The promoter, Stephen DeCesare, identified a shell corporation quoted on the Pink Sheets that Rudy could merge with in order to become a public firm.

The company hired a business consultant who was a disbarred California lawyer, Kevin Quinn, to execute the deal.

It began trading in February 2008 under the ticker symbol

RUNU.

Through false or misleading statements about the company, the team pumped up its stock price from 25 cents to $1.05 per share, the SEC said.

The agency said the scheme ended when the SEC issued a trading suspension against Rudy Nutrition on September 12, 2008, for delinquent regulatory filings.

Lawyers for Brandonisio and DeCesare did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A lawyer for Quinn had no immediate comment.

Bayern overcomes Ribery ejection to beat Cologne

David Alaba ,Mario Gomez

updated 4:39 p.m. ET Dec. 16, 2011

BERLIN - Bayern Munich overcame Frank Ribery's first-half ejection to beat Cologne 3-0 Friday night, ensuring it maintains at least a three-point lead going into the Bundesliga's four-week winter break.

Ribery was received his second yellow card of the game in the 33rd minute, penalized for grabbing at Henrique Sereno's face half a minute after both were shown cards for clashing in the penalty area.

Mario Gomez scored his league-leading 16th goal of the season to put the hosts ahead in the 48th. Substitute David Alaba scored in the 63rd, when Cologne failed to clear Toni Kroos' corner kick, and Kroos got the final goal in the 88th.

Bayern (12-4-1) has a six-point lead over Borussia Dortmund (9-3-4) and Schalke (10-5-1) going into the weekend's games.
