Between Twilight and True Blood, vampires seem to be all the rage these days. The humanization of a heretofore stereotypically evil creature has been an interest societal twist.
Unless you want to consider that real vampires are running amok out there … and in Texas, of all places.
Police arrested a man who they say broke into a woman’s apartment and bit her on the neck, claiming to be a vampire.
Investigators said Lyle Bensley used his foot to break the door down and get …
Jan Brewer, Governor of Arizona and vehement immigration opponent, has taken on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a recent report sent to the United Nations’ Human Rights Commissioner by the State Department. Apparently, Brewer is steamed at the move toward “internationalism” and is trying to protect her state from charges of racial profiling, a thinly veiled accusation included in the report.
Brewer was pretty adamant in her, uh, request that Arizona’s immigration law pretty much requiring police to check the immigration status of anyone they encounter “enforcing other laws” be removed.
The federal government, however, views its legal challenge to the law as a prime example of how it’s addressing possible human rights violations.
In a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Brewer says it is “downright offensive” that a state law would be included in the report, which was drafted as part of a UN review of human rights in all member nations every four years.
“The idea of our own American government submitting the duly enacted laws of a state of the United States to ‘review’ by the United Nations is internationalism run amok and unconstitutional,” Brewer wrote.

Former Houston Police Chief Harold Hurtt tapped for a federal immigration job … and the widow of a man killed by an illegal immigrant is not happy.

Former Houston Police Chief Harold Hurtt has been tapped by the Obama administration for a position with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This is not sitting well with Joslyn Johnson, whose husband was shot and killed by an illegal immigrant who had already been deported once and arrested numerous times.
Joslyn Johnson, whose husband, Rodney Johnson, was killed in 2006, is suing former Houston Police Chief Harold Hurtt for failing to enforce federal immigration laws. She claims her husband would be alive today if the city had bothered to check up on the gunman’s immigration status.
Now that Hurtt is taking a job to oversee partnerships between federal and local officials with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Johnson — and other critics — say they’re concerned the official who resisted immigration enforcement in Houston will now be in charge of promoting it.
“She was shocked at the irony,” Johnson’s attorney, Ben Dominguez, said.
Wow, this is a tough one. Obviously, Rodney Johnson’s killer should not have been running loose. More specifically, he should not have been running loose on American streets. That was 100% wrong, and you won’t find an argument about that from me. I can also understand Joslyn Johnson’s need to place blame with someone and finding it “ironic” that Hurtt is getting a federal immigration job when, in her mind, he is indirectly responsible for the death of her husband.
Hurtt’s views on immigration, an area in which he worked intimately, could be viewed as controversial even taking Rodney Johnson out of the equation:
