Latest Zogby Polls for Indiana and North Carolina

Updated 5/8/08 - Yeah we already know that we did terrible with our predictions below on the Indiana and the North Carolina primaries. Zogby was right on with the North Carolina polls with Obama winning by 14%. They were off on the Indiana primary though. They had Obama winning by 2% but Hillary Clinton won by about 2% of the votes.   Of course their pools have a plus or minus of something or another.  All in all I think it was a bad day for Hillary getting beat in the North Carolina primary by double digits. The big question now is it time for her to toss inn the towel? Comments are more than welcome here, they are encouraged so comment away!!!

We just looked at the latest Zogby polls for the democratic primarys that are taking place today in North Carolina and in Indiana between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. The latest Zogby poll has Barack Obama winning both Indiana and North Carolina. We are also keeping an eye on the Suffolk poll which along with the zogby poll was dead on with the Pennsylvania primaries. Unfortunately the Suffolk polls don’t have any numbers showing for the North Carolina primary.

Tonight will be interesting to watch to see whether Hillary Clinton can beat the odds of the Zogby poll and pull off a win in one of the states. Her best shot is a win in Indiana and all of the other polls have her winning it except for the Zogby poll. Zogby has Obabma winning Indiana by 2 percent and North Carolina by a whopping 14 percent in a poll that was conducted on May 4th and 5th.

After reading around a bit we’re thinking the Suffolk poll is probably going to be pretty close in Indiana where they have Hillary Clinton winning by 6 percent. It might not be quite that high of a victory for Clinton but we believe she will win the state of Indiana. Click Here for the latest Zogby Indiana polls.

We find it hard to believe that with the Reverend Wright controversy still fresh in the recent headlines that Barack Obama would be able to take any state right now by double digits. The Zogby polls have Obama winning by 14 percent in the recent poll for North Carolina. We are thinking that Obama will beat Clinton by about 6 to 7 percent of the votes. At one point Obama was up by as much as 16 percent in the polls in North Carolina. Click Here for the most recent North Carolina polls. No doubt in our minds and most likely his that Th Reverend Wright has hurt him. It will be interesting to see tonight just how bad his campaign was hurt.

As always when reading our articles on politics, remember where you are. Your at Nuttv.com where the clueless reside so take it for what it’s worth. Our predictions are;

Obama wins North Carolina by 7 percent of the votes.
Clinton wins Indiana by 6 percent of the votes.

The question of the day is will the Democratic primaries ever end?

Babies Dropped From Roof in India Ritual

We came across a story and video of babies being dropped 50 feet from a roof in India as some sort of ritual blessing. After reading around it seems that this baby dropping from roofs ritual has been going on for around 500 years and supposedly no babys have been harmed in all that time. All in the name of a religious blessing for good health and both Muslims and Hindus practice this ritual. This is another strange news story that I have a hard time with deciding what category to add it to. We just watched the video below and it’s real and you will see several babies being dropped from the roof of a temple that is in Maharashtra, India. You were warned about what you are about to see!!!

We came across the video at the zeitgeist blog on MSNBC which is kept up by Willie Geist. I never even knew the blog existed. I personally like the spin and I suppose dry sense of humor that Willie Geist puts into his take on a story. Click Here to Check out Willie Geist’s Blog on the web.

I think the first time I saw Willie Geist was on Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Keith Olbermann is another person that I admire mostly for his no holds back reporting. When Keith has a point to make or at least try to make duck for cover because his point is coming at you with very little spin to it. I normally catch his show a few times a week and love his biggest winners and losers segment. From listening to his rants (Keith is a Passionate man) my guess is that president Bush and Bill O’Reilly are two of his best friends, NOT! Click Here to check out Keith Olbermann’s section on MSNBC.

OK, back to the baby’s being dropped off the roof in India. Do any of you believe that in 500 years, Five centuries of this religious blessing of dropping babies off the roof that not a single baby has been injured? I’m having a hard time believing it personally. Of course after watching the video the baby that’s thrown off the roof, I mean dropped gently off the roof does seem to land kind of, sort of gently if that’s even possible dropping 5 storys onto a cotton sheet and then takes one bounce where someone catches them on the bounce.

I’m not going to knock anyones religion so I’ll leave it up to you to decide whether this blessing ritual for good health is a good thing or a bad thing. All I can say is that I would love to see the 500 year study on the health of all these babies that were dropped from a roof in India to see how their health turned out. Chances are not too many of them are afraid of heights. Or maybe they are terrified of heights.

Man Locks Daughter in Basement for 24 Years

By now most of you have read the story about the Austrian man who locked his daughter in a basement for 24 years and fathered 7 children with her one of which was a twin that died at birth supposedly. We weren’t even going to write about this sick news story until we read about what type of sentence he faces. We couldn’t even find a category to post this under so we had to make a new one up called sick news storys.

The mans name is Josef Fritzl who is 73 years old and from Austria. He is accused of locking his daughter in the basement of his families home when she was just 17 years old. That was on August 28th, 1984. Can you even imagine being locked in a basement with no windows for 24 years along with your children that were born in the basement. The oldest daughter of the daughter that was locked in the basement after she was born is 19 years old and she is fighting for her life in a hospital right now with an undisclosed illness. Just keep Reading the numbers of how long these children and the adult daughter were without any outside life or world.

From what we have gathered the Father reportedly has abused his daughter since she was 12 years old before holding her hostage in the locked basement when she was 17 years old where he continued to rape her for 24 more years before finally having to admit it to the police in April of 2008. Here is what we don’t understand.

Supposedly the maximum sentence that he can receive is 15 years in prison. 15 years in prison for rape is the maximum sentence and if they can prove “murder through failure to act” because one of the children that he fathered died in the basement when born he would still only get a maximum sentence of 20 years. WTF, that’s less time than the oldest daughter who is 43 now I believe spent locked up in the basement and about the same amount of time that the daughter he fathered with his daughter has been locked in the basement without freedom.

No way should Josef Fritzl be sentenced to only 15 to 20 years for the sick stuff that he has done. Rape, murder, incest and kidnapping in my opinion. He deserves a life sentence for what he has put these kids through even though most likely if he does get 20 years that will be the rest of his life that he spends in jail seeing how he is 73 years old now. Word is that he will be pleading insanity in the case of course.

There is a good timeline of how it all happened over the years at the BBC website Here.  

I can’t imagine the physiological problems that the family are dealing with right now. There is a pretty good video with an interview by MSNBC with Dr. Jeff Gardere who is a clinical Psychologist about what the kids and mother are going through and will have to deal with in their future. There is also a a new video of pictures of the part basement where these poor victims were held.

David Blaine Breaks Record for Holding Breath

David Blaine broke the world record for holding his breath the longest ever.   He did it on the Oprah Winfield show yesterday, April 30, 2008.  The old record was 16 minutes and 32 seconds.  The new record for holding your breath that Blaine set is now at 17 minutes and 4.4 seconds.

David Blaine who I first saw doing some weird street magic like levitating of the ground and freaking people out as they watch is well known for these kinds of stunts.  Dangerous stunts at that.  I can’t even imagine holding my breath for 2 minutes let alone over 17 minutes.  I have a hard enough time holding my breath in the shower just washing my face.  From an article on MSNBC.com it says that he was allowed to breath pure oxygen before attempting to break the world record for up to half an hour.  Believe it or not by doing that it gave him an extra 9 minutes under water holding his breath.  It doesn’t get much weirder than that I suppose.

Buy David Blaine Posters and Pictures

Of course if it’s weird and entertaining then most likely the talented but living dangerously on the edge Blaine is probably involved in it some how or another.  If you ever get a chance to catch a TV show of his, DO IT!  I guarantee you will be impressed by whatever he is trying to pull off.  He is way ahead of his time and hopefully he will continue to stay healthy while trying these stunts that he does.  If I were a betting man, which I am, my bet would be that David Blaine isn’t a smoker.

Anyways while reading the story about Blaine setting the breath holding record which you can read at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24376304/ 

I came across some other weird records that were broken.  It’s a slide show of some of the strange world records that have been broken and recorded by Guinness world records and it’s also at MSNBC.  Check out the slide show at http://www.msnbc.com/modules/interactive.aspx?type=ss&launch=20076910,4999736&pg=1 for some other weird pictures on world records being boken.
