| A son of the late Robert F. Kennedy, who was acquitted of criminal charges in a maternity ward scuffle, is suing two nurses who publicly said that he kicked them in the crotch during the assault. Douglas Kennedy is alleging defamation and malicious prosecution by nurses Cari Luciano and Anna Lane. He said their statements to police and on NBC´s Today show held him up to ´ridicule and scorn´ and led to his prosecution. The lawsuit, filed on Friday in White Plains, New York stems from Kennedy´s attempt a year ago to take his newborn son from Northern Westchester Hospital

I think the Court will have to toss the "held up to ridicule and scorn" part of the complaint.
Robert F, or most any Kennedy, hold themselves up to ridicule and scorn simply by looking in a mirror.

The Kennedy s are, and always have been, despicable people. Churchill despised daddy Joe for being a very proud and outspoken Hitlerite. The rest of them are all shadow or closet Maoists. This one is a particular nasty version of all those that came before him. All above in my very own personal opinion- of course. Now sue me for defamation, Douglas Kennedy!

It would probably never even occur to a normal parent to remove their newborn from the hospital nursery without asking or notifying staff. Had they nevertheless for some reason done so and been accosted by nurses charged with responsibility for their child´s safety and following strict hospital rules, they would have been apologetic and compliant. The behavior and mentality of Douglas Kennedy are appalling. All he needed to have done to avoid this was to follow the rules and behave like a responsible parent and citizen. It is clearly too much to ask from someone of his character.

FTA, "The judge said that the baby was not in danger - except from the nurses´ actions - and that Kennedy didn´t demonstrate any intent to hurt them."
Outrageous. Look at the security footage photos. How would the nurses know he was the father? And his response when stopped, "he (two day old son) needs some fresh air". Was Dougie on crack? Who walks into a hospital nursery and takes a newborn away and thinks they won´t be stopped? And the judge wouldn´t have made the same statement if a kidnapper had taken the baby. What a maroon.

These adorable pictures show Julian Becker and his 165 pound pet Max, the shaggy Newfoundland that never leaves his best friend´s side. Five-year-old Julian´s mother Stasha started taking pictures of the odd couple every day before they got in the family car in Whidbey Island, Washington state, U.S., although both Julian and Max were born in England. With her husband away regularly in his role as a U.S. naval officer, the pictures began as a way of keeping in touch.

The scathing song, ´Open Letter´ calls out the politicians who questioned the legality of the fifth anniversary vacation, which was approved by the Treasury Department, when the rapper says, ´Politicians never did s**t for me, except lie to me, distort history.

First they purloin the savings and bank deposits in Laiki and the Bank of Cyprus, including the working funds of the University of Cyprus, and thousands of small firms hanging on by their fingertips. Then they seize three-quarters of the country’s gold reserves, making it ever harder for Cyprus to extricate itself from EMU at a later date. [Snip] Cypriots are learning what it means to be a member of monetary union when things go badly wrong. The crisis costs have suddenly jumped from €17bn to €23bn, and the burden of finding an extra €6bn will fall on Cyprus alone.

Tens of thousands of demonstrators have rallied across the US in a mass call for citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants.

Analysis of commercially available rice imported into the US has revealed it contains levels of lead far higher than regulations suggest are safe. Some samples exceeded the "provisional total tolerable intake" (PTTI) set by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by a factor of 120. The report at the American Chemical Society Meeting adds to the already well-known issue of arsenic in rice. The FDA told the BBC it would review the research. Lead is known to be harmful to many organs and the central nervous system.[Snip] Because rice is grown in heavily irrigated conditions, it is more susceptible

One is employed at Labour leader Ed Miliband’s old school and has worked with the youngest and most impressionable pupils there, while the other teaches troubled and vulnerable children.[Snip] Craig Parr, a teacher at Haverstock School in north London--nicknamed ‘Labour’s Eton’--was pictured parading with a sick placard which read: ‘Rejoice. Thatcher is dead.’ The 27-year-old special needs teacher and union activist led chants of ‘Maggie, Maggie, Maggie, dead, dead, dead’ at a death party he organised in Brixton, south London, on Monday night which ended in

The sequester may have many across the country singing the blues, but for President Obama, it was all about Memphis Soul. Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes.

The most successful politicians write their own obituaries. I have read a number of Baroness Thatcher´s today and wondered whether the writers would be surprised if they were told she would probably agree with most of what was written, even in the Left-of-centre outlets. This is because successful politicians so dominate the debate on the issues they care about--which were many, in Thatcher´s case--that they determine the course of the argument including the response from opponents. They do this by defining themselves in the public imagination by what they are against rather than what they are for, and leaving only

First Lieutenant Kim, 42, said he had been forced to flee North Korea after he murdered a rival officer as the factions within his army unit battled for control.

White House assistant chef Sam Kass, who cooks weekly for President Obama, said Tuesday that he is facing a furlough brought about by crippling federal budget cuts. The chef, who is also the president’s senior nutrition policy adviser, is one of nearly 500 White House employees who are expected to receive furlough notices because of the so-called sequester.

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

Whatever big-busted fantasies crawl around the ex-congressman’s delirious noggin, la Weiner made his next goal as clear as the skin of the wholesome college students he craved: He relishes being Mayor Weiner. Please, shut up this clown. These days, the genitally obsessed Weiner has nothing much to do, except sit in his lavish Manhattan apartment and — the inhumanity! — change the poopy diapers of his 16-month-old son, Jordan. Worse, Weiner is living under a kind of house arrest, sentenced to take extreme grief
