Spanish Matador Israel Lancho Gored Horrifically by Bull (Video)
May 30, 2009
(ChattahBox) — A bad day at work when your a matador is just something you do not want to have. Spanish matador Israel Lancho had one of the worst of days getting gored by a bull in Madrid on Wednesday straight on in the stomach. The Daily Mail reports that the 30-year-old Lancho is in critical condition and likely to be in the intensive care unit of a Madrid hospital for several days but is expected to survive. Lancho reportedly has an eight-inch wound in his abdominal area, but the bull’s horn missed his heart. The incident took place at the San Isidro’s fair in Las Ventas bullring. The disturbing and very graphic video is below (viewer discretion is advised). Recent polls indicate that less than 30% of Spanish citizens favor bullfighting, reflecting an overall trend that animals should be treated more humanely.

Rush Limbaugh Says Nominating Sotomayor Like Picking David Duke
May 29, 2009
(ChattahBox) — Let’s be honest, if President Obama could have nominated Justice Antonin Scalia’s clone for the current open slot, GOP conservatives would be still be tearing him apart. Not bothering to wait for any hearings, conservatives have already torn into Sonia Sotomayor declaring her as a racist. America’s favorite Porky Pig caricature, Rush Limbaugh has added his always unbiased opinion that President Obama’s Supreme Court nomination has set back civil rights progress and compared ‘racist’ Sotomayor to David Duke. Truthfully how can you take any opinion Rush give’s on an Obama decision, when the man freely admits he hopes the President fails? If Rush ever does agree with something Obama does, is it because he thinks it’s bad for the country and therefore good for the GOP in the next elections?
LIMBAUGH: I care about whether she’s qualified, and I think she’s disqualified herself. Not only does she lack the often-discussed appropriate judicial temperament, it’s worse than that. She brings a form of bigotry or racism to the court. I don’t care — we’re not supposed to say it, we’re supposed to pretend it didn’t happen, we’re supposed to look at other things, but it’s the elephant in the room. The real question here that needs to be asked — and nobody on our side, from a columnist to a TV commentator to anybody in our party has the guts to ask: How can a president nominate such a candidate? And how can a party get behind such a candidate? That’s what would be asked if somebody were foolish enough to nominate David Duke or pick somebody even less offensive.

Report: GM, Magna Agree on Pact for Opel Rescue
May 29, 2009
(ChattahBox) – Bloomberg sources report General Motors Corp. and Austrian-Canadian car parts maker Magna International Inc. have reached a framework agreement on a rescue for the Opel unit in Germany. Speculation is the deal may be to buy GM Europe, which includes Germany’s Opel and Vauxhall of Great Britain. The deal would likely be in cooperation with Russian state bank Sberbank Rossii and Russian automaker GAZ. A deal would require Germany’s government to provide interim financing for Opel while GM finalizes any deal. Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government was meeting today to decide whether Opel’s future was sufficiently safe to provide the carmaker with €1.5 billion ($2.09 billion) of taxpayers’ money. To make this all work Germany wants the U.S. Treasury to agree to place Opel under a trust company that would separate the German-based operations from GM’s expected chapter 11 proceedings in the U.S. Fiat has also been trying and reiterated its intent to purchase Opel, but that seems to be on the back burner now.
