Hank Williams Jr. Writes Song, Appears on Talk Shows After Hitler-Obama Uproar

Now that his Monday Night Football opening theme song has been permanently punted from the broadcast, Hank Williams Jr. has written a song zinging Fox & Friends and ESPN and is taking to the airwaves to answer his critics. Check out the rest of the day's news on TVGuide.com In the song, he sings: "So Fox 'n Friends wanna put me down/Ask for my opinion/Twist it all around." He concludes: "Well two can play that gotcha game you'll see." His lyrics also say the U.S. is "going down the drain" and is "The United Socialist States of America" — and urge keeping Fox & Friends and ESPN out of your house. "I've been recording for five decades, and I knew that old over-the-fence feeling on this one," Williams told The Associated Press. Hank Williams Jr. issues apology regarding Obama-Hitler statement After the country singer appeared on the Fox News Channel morning show and offered an analogy that President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner golfing together was like Hitler and Netanyahu playing, the sports network suspended his "Are you ready for some football?" song and made the move permanent on Thursday. The song was a part of the show since 1989. When's the game on? Add Monday Night Football to your watchlist and never miss a game again He planned to appear on The View and Hannity Tuesday to discuss the uproar. Meantime, the new song is available for free for 48 hours at Williams' website — where you can also pick up a "Hank Jr. for President" T-shirt. Williams wound up with many high-profile defenders last week, including Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Jon Stewart and Bill Maher, saying that his First Amendment rights were violated by ESPN. Over the weekend, Saturday Night Live couldn't resist doing a sketch lampooning Williams.

Ratings: Pan Am Looks Like It Could Get Grounded

Might stewardesses follow Playboy Bunnies into cancellation? Pan Am kept losing altitude in Week 3, with just 6.42 million viewers aboard.
That's down from 7.75 million viewers a week ago — and from 10.87 million when the ABC program took off. And among 18-to-49-year-olds, the rating has swooped down from 3.1 to 2.5 to 1.9, Nielsen overnights showed. That trajectory is not good.
Preceding the 1960s drama about stewardesses at 9/8c, Desperate Housewives was down 10 percent, luring 8.46 million viewers and a 2.7 demo rating, which tied a series low (vs. last week's 9.03 million/2.9 demo rating).
Read our Desperate Housewives episode recap
In prime time's first hour Sunday, America's Funniest Home Videos reached 6.63 million people (1.4 demo rating) after getting off to its lowest-rated season debut ever last week, attracting a viewership of 6.44 million (1.5 demo rating).
The 35-minute NFL overrun on CBS threw off the numbers, as usual, but skewed stats nonetheless showed that Pan Am had the smallest audience in prime time's final hour. CBS' The Good Wife and the first 25 minutes of CSI: Miami grabbed 9.99 million and a 2.1 demo rating.

Sunday Night Football's attractive pairing of the Green Bay Packers and Atlanta Falcons averaged 19.48 million fans (7.9 demo rating), up 20 percent from last week.
From 8 to 10, because rain scuttled the scheduled American League championship series, Fox filled in with a rerun of The X Factor, scrounging up 3.06 million viewers.

Biggest celebrity meltdowns

Is there any celebrity left in Hollywood who hasn't flipped his or her lid (or a table) at one time or another? From the painfully public outbursts (yes, you, Mel Gibson), to the breakdowns you never saw coming, take a look at the biggest celebrity meltdowns in Tinseltown's tainted history.

Avril Lavigne

Well, she is the motherf----- princess. The Tampa Bay Rays were left apologizing profusely to fans after pop star Avril Lavigne let loose a string of expletives while she was having microphone malfunctions at the beginning of her performance at Tropicana Field on May 28.

The punk princess was performing after the Rays lost to the Cleveland Indians as part of the team’s concert series. According to the St. Petersburg Times, she also ranted about how things like that happen at a live show, especially at a baseball stadium.

'The Rays demand profanity-free performances from all of our concert performers, and we are extremely disappointed by the language used in last night’s show,' Ray's spokesman Rick Vaughn said in a statement issued Sunday. 'It is not consistent with the family-friendly atmosphere that Tropicana Field is known for.'

Nicki Minaj admits she once considered suicide, thinking 'maybe I should just take my life'

Nicki Minaj's breakout record was titled "Pink Friday," but the rapper recently admitted she has seen days of a much darker shade.

Talking to Cosmopolitan, the "Super Bass" singer, 28, revealed that before she got her big break, she had been depressed enough to even consider taking her own life.

"I kept having doors slammed on my face," Minaj said of life before fame. "I felt like nothing was working. I had moved out on my own, and here I was thinking I'd have to go home. It was one dead end after another.

NOT EVERYONE IS SO LUCKY -- A LOOK AT CELEBRITY TRAGEDIES

"At one point, I was, like, 'What would happen if I just didn't wake up?' That's how I felt. Like maybe I should just take my life?"

These days the Grammy-nominated artist and fashion plate has a much brighter outlook -- and a plan for superstardom to go along with it.

I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT! DIASTROUS CELEBRITY BREAKDOWNS

"I will have put out five albums and will have an Oscar and Grammys," she said of her future. "And I will be getting married and, a couple of years after that will have a bun in the oven."

Making it seems to have given Minaj the confidence needed to defeat her demons.

"My whole life is about being Nicki Minaj now," she said. "It's a never-ending saga

More see crisis ahead; GOP fractured on best candidate to fix economy

Most Americans now see a 2008-style financial crisis on the horizon, and —reflecting the deep partisan divide in the country —there is no consensus about whether a second term for President Obama or a Republican administration would improve the rough economic situation, according to a new Washington Post-Bloomberg News poll.

Republicans, for their part, are not conflicted: nearly two-thirds are confident the economy would be better under a GOP president and sense their own financial situations would improve with a Republican win in 2012. Democrats are less sure the economy is better under Obama’s leadership, and most independents say it would not make much difference one way or the other.

The findings come a day before the Post and Bloomberg News host a Republican debate at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, focused exclusively on the economy.

Most Republicans see a GOP candidate as clearly better than Obama on the economy -- by far the top issue in the campaign -- but when it comes to picking their party’s best candidate to rev up the stagnant economy there is little agreement.

In the new poll, some 22 percent of Republicans and GOP-leaning independents say former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney would do the most to improve the economy, and 20 percent say so of businessman Herman Cain, who has jumped into the top tier in recent polls.
One in eight (12 percent) say Texas Gov. Rick Perry would do the best job to improve the economy, with none of the other top candidates cracking double-digits on the question. A sizable 22 percent express no opinion.

These numbers come on the heels of polls showing Perry slumping and Cain surging in the race for the Republican nomination. In terms of voter preference, Romney has consistently been at or near the top of the field.

Among conservative Republicans, Cain has a numerical (but not significant) edge in the new poll on the economy question, with 26 percent saying he is the best candidate to improve the economy to Romney’s 23 percent. Romney has about a 2 to 1 lead over any other candidate among moderate and liberal Republicans. The former Massachusetts governor also breaks away from the pack among seniors.

For one top candidate, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, more Republicans say she would do the most to damage the economy than say she would be the one to improve things more than others.

Most Republicans see another financial crisis as at least “fairly likely” over the next couple of years. Overall, the number of Americans seeing a possible meltdown ahead has jumped 10 percentage points since March 2010.



Despite widespread public criticism of Obama’s handling of the economy, nearly half of all Americans -- 45 percent -- say it wouldn’t make a difference if a Republican were in office at this time. Just as many say the economy would be worse under a GOP leader as say it would be better. A plurality also says the outcome of the 2012 presidential election won’t make much difference to their own pocketbooks.

Big majorities of Republicans say the economy would be better now under GOP stewardship and their own finances would pick up under a Republican administration starting in 2013. Under half of Democrats are sure things are better under Obama than they would be with a Republican at the helm; almost as many say it won’t make a difference.

As far as independents go, both sides have convincing to do: a clear majority of political independents say the economy would be no better or worse with a Republican president, and nearly six in 10 don’t think the outcome of the presidential election will have a big effect on their own personal fortunes.



But first up is the Republican primary.

Looking ahead to the end of the primary season, 24 percent of Republicans and GOP-leaners say they want Romney to be the party’s candidate to challenge Obama. Some 16 percent say they would like Cain to be atop the GOP ticket, and 13 percent say Perry. These numbers are in-line with the latest measures of actual vote choice in the latest Post-ABC national poll.

The new Post-Bloomberg News telephone poll was conducted Oct. 6 to 9, among a random national sample of 1,000 adults. Results from the full poll have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. A total of 391 Republicans and GOP-leaning independents were interviewed, and the error margin for this group is six points

Copts Criticize Egypt Government Over Killings

CAIRO — Egypt's Coptic Church harshly criticized the government on Monday over its actions in crushing a bloody protest in Cairo the night before that left at least 24 people dead, mostly Christians, as grieving families began to bury their dead, some of them mangled by tanks, bullets and beating wounds.

The protest on Sunday was the most violent in Egypt since the revolution that toppled Hosni Mubarak from the presidency eight months ago and raised new questions about the country's ability to move forward toward a pluralistic and tolerant democracy.

In a statement, the Coptic Church, which represents about 10 percent of Egypt's 85 million people, accused military and police forces of allowing anti-Christian instigators to turn what had been a peaceful protest into a sectarian riot, then used the violence as a pretext for deadly force directed largely against the Coptic protesters.

"Strangers got in the middle of our sons and committed mistakes to be blamed on our sons," the statement said. It said provocations against Egypt's Christian community reflected "problems that occur repeatedly and go unpunished."

In a further sign of mistrust, the families of 17 Copts who were killed said they would refuse to allow the government to conduct autopsies, fearing it would lie about the results in order to protect the killers. The families said medical examiners in their own community would conduct the autopsies instead.

Foreign leaders also expressed concern. The White House extended its condolences to the families of the victims and said: "Now is a time for restraint on all sides so that Egyptians can move forward together to forge a strong and united Egypt. As the Egyptian people shape their future, the United States continues to believe that the rights of minorities — including Copts — must be respected, and that all people have the universal rights of peaceful protest and religious freedom."

The violence on Sunday began after a demonstration by Copts angry about a recent attack on a church. By day's end it had morphed into a raging riot directed against the military council that has ruled Egypt since Mr. Mubarak was ousted in February. The violence seemed to be aggravated by the public's widespread distrust of the military's authority because of repeated delays in turning power over to Egyptian civilians.

When the clashes broke out, some Muslims ran into the streets to help defend the Copts against the police, while others said they had come out to help the army quell the protests in the name of stability.

Thousands filled the streets of downtown Cairo, many armed with rocks, clubs or machetes. Witnesses said several protesters were crushed under military vehicles and the Health Ministry said that about 20 underwent surgery for bullet wounds.

The protest took place against a backdrop of escalating tensions between Copts and the Muslim majority. Copts had joined the pro-democracy protests against Mr. Mubarak in large numbers, hoping for the protections of a pluralistic, democratic state, but a surge in the Islamists' power has raised fears of how much tolerance majority rule will allow.

But the most common refrain of the protests on Sunday was, “The people want to bring down the field marshal,” adapting the signature chant of the revolution to call for the resignation of the military’s top officer, Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, who is functioning as Egypt's acting president.

The military and riot police, on the other hand, appeared at some points to be working in tandem with Muslims who were lashing out at the Copts. As security forces cleared the streets around 10 p.m., police officers in riot gear marched back and forth through the streets of downtown alongside a swarm of hundreds of men armed with clubs and stones chanting, “The people want to bring down the Christians,” and, later, “Islamic, Islamic.”

CNN’s Tea Party partnership: ‘odd’ at best, ‘unethical’ at worst

Handicapping how presidential candidates perform in debates is a tricky proposition. But in this case, the pundits agree: The co-hosts of Monday night's Republican debate--CNN and the Tea Party Express--made for "one of the oddest political matches in recent memory," "strange political bedfellows" not unlike "James Carville and Mary Matalin."
"After the 2010 elections, it was undeniable that the Tea Party movement within the Republican Party was a force, and that it was likely to help determine the outcome of the nomination," Sam Feist, CNN's Washington bureau chief, told the New York Times. "We decided that it makes sense for one of the debates to have a Tea Party connection, and that we were the right network to do it."
That decision put CNN on shaky ethical ground, author Scott Martelle argued:
A major cable network is teaming up with a political splinter group as an (apparent) equal partner in a televised event. CNN didn't team up with political progressives, who helped shape the 2008 presidential campaign, during that election cycle. Yet here it is proudly teaming up with the Tea Partiers (who, they keep telling us, aren't even an identifiable group, but a shared mindset). My guess is CNN is more interested in wresting viewers from Fox than in maintaining its own credibility.
That a cable news network "derided by conservatives as a mouthpiece of the political left" and the activist Tea Party would band together was "an unusual display of cooperation between the news media and some of its most hostile critics," the Times wrote.
Unusual in theory, and tricky, to put things mildly, in execution.
"The idea of a cable news network so reviled by the far political right coming together with its fiercest critics to host anything is completely ludicrous," Grace Wyler wrote on Business Insider. "Instead of remaking itself into a network of noble, cooperative centrists, CNN just looked like a sell-out, pandering to Tea Partiers and Tea Party haters in one fell swoop."
One problem was that Wolf Blitzer, the debate's moderator, never called out any of legions of false statements from either candidates or questioners.
"Blitzer ... totally lost control of the conversation by the end of the first segment, apparently thrown off by the rowdy crowd," Wyler wrote. "Plus, he kept having to rephrase audience-submitted queries like 'How will you get rid of illegals?' into something resembling actual policy questions."
Another excess that critics have called out was CNN's attempt to incorporate sports production values.
"Sweeping, swooshing graphics; audience cheers right out of ESPN's NFL draft coverage," Jeff Greenfield, former political analyst at CBS, ABC and CNN, wrote on Politico. "Bringing the candidates out one at a time, letting them introduce themselves the way NBC has the offenses and defenses do with quick taped intros. It was nearly 15 minutes before the first question was asked.
"It was a worthy effort from my old employer--the inventor of the magic wall and the holographic interview," Greenfield added. "But it wasn't enough. Anyone switching to 'Monday Night Football' could see in a few seconds that debate coverage has a long way to go before bringing genuinely eye-catching coverage to the presidential debate format."
"I get what CNN is doing," NBC political analyst Chuck Todd wrote on Twitter. "90 minute debate filling a 2-hour window ... find the excess where you can."
It also didn't help that CNN's Tea Party debate was scheduled less than a week after NBC's.
"Two debates in four days are almost as exhausting for political junkies at home as they are for the candidates," Walter Shapiro wrote in the New Republic.

Bangladesh: Manipulation of BDR massacre probe

Barrister Abdur Razzak, a leader of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami received written notice from Investigation Officer with Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Abdul Kahar Akhand asking Razzak to appear before the investigation officer for interrogation in connection to Bangladesh Riffles (BDR) massacre case.

It may be mentioned here that, Kahar Akhand is known in Bangladesh as he was the investigation officer of Bangabandhu murder case and Jail killing case. He was warned by the highest judiciary in the country for his lack of experience in investigating the cases.

Kahar, basically a loyalist of the ruling party was brought back to service on contract basis from retirement. He has ´high reputation´ of twisting various investigations to meet the taste of the ruling party. He is one of the very few officers in Bangladesh Police, who has direct access via cell phone to both the Prime Minister and the Home Minister. For such ´high connection´, Kahar shows damn-care attitude towards his senior officers while continues to misbehave with all the junior officers in the police department as well in CID.

The present rulers in Dhaka especially assigned their own man like Kahar Akhand as the chief investigator of the BDR massacre case, as they knew, this officer will do everything in finally setting out all the names of Awami League men behind this notorious crime, thus putting several opposition leaders and figures as the accused. Since his appointment as the chief investigator of the case, Kahar Akhand is in constant contact with the Home Minister and several influential leaders in the ruling party.

Top level in the government has reportedly given repeated instructions to Kahar Akhand in entangling some leaders from Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Jamaat and some Islamist forces like Hizb Ut Tahrir etc. He also has been suggested to ´discover´ militant connection to this sensitive case.

When Awami League leader Torab Ali Akhand was arrested in connection to this case and was interrogated by several intelligence agencies, including CID, it was crystal clear to the investigators that the ruling party and some opposition leaders played dirty role in giving instigation and patronization to the bloody massacre. Such message was secretly communicated to the high-ups in the government. Hearing such information from Abdul Kahar Akhand, high-command in the ruling Grand Alliance has strongly instructed him to ´do something in turning the matter to another direction or face severe consequence´.

CID officer Abdul Kahar Akhand already knows the case of Muhidul Islam Muhit, who is the plaintiff of Bangabandhu murder case. Muhit was the Assistant Personal Secretary to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and was on duly at the residence of the founding father of Bangladesh during the black night of brutal assassination of him and other members of Bangabandhu´s family.

Muhit was found in a poor economic condition in Jessore after Awami League formed government in 1996. He was picked up by the government and was encouraged to lodge the case. Abdul Kahar Akhand was introduced to Muhit from the very first hour, for preparing the First Information Report (FIR) as well as statement for the investigation into this case.

Muhit received more than 3 residential plots and substantial amount of money from Awami League for agreeing to become the plaintiff of the case. This case changed the life of this poor man, who ultimately sold out all the plots, which were secretly allocated in his name to the owners of Akij Group of Companies in Bangladesh.

Abdul Kahar Akhand knows that, if he will be able to serve the purpose of the ruling party, his next few years in the contract-based job in police service will be extremely bright. He will be compensated in diversified ways. But, if he will ignore instructions from the high-command of the ruling party, he not only will lose the job, but his life will also be in extreme danger.

With such tendency in mind, Akhand has successfully saved Torab Ali from making confessional statement to the Metropolitan Magistrate under section 164. It is even claimed that, Torab Ali, instead of being interrogated, is enjoying comfortable time inside the CID headquarters in Dhaka. At the instruction of influential figures in the government, Abdul Kahar Akhand in ensuring all possible comfort to this confirmed collaborator of the BDR massacre.

And, according to latest news, the ´Walkie-Talkie´ minister in the present government in Dhaka, Lt. Col. (Retired) Faruk Khan told reporters that the probe report shall be made public "within a week". This is the fifth extension of the time limit set for the report.

According to various scoops, the investigators have so far identified a number of points and questions in identifying culprits behind the massacre. These points or questions are:


1. What was the intelligence report sent to the Prime Minister on February 25 in the early morning as acknowledged by the PM in the parliament,

2. What was the last conversation between Major General Shakil Ahmed and the Prime Minister on February 25,

3. Why the PM regretted her attendance to the dinner on February 26,

4. Who instructed announcement from the nearby mosques on February 25 and 26 asking local residents near BDR headquarters to move to a safe distance,

5. Why Lt. Col. Mukit sent fax messages from the BDR headquarters on February 25 evening against army and the BDR´s director general,

6. Why members of police and RAB were not deployed within gate number 5, through which the mutineers fled,

7. Why the PM assigned Nanak and Azam at 1:00 pm., after 4 hours of she heard about the mutiny,

8. Why names and identities of the delegation of mutineers, who met the PM were not registered at the entrance of the PM´s residence,

9. Mutiny leader DAD Towhid told the PM about the murder of director general of BDR and some other officers when he met her with his team. But, why this matter was kept secret by the government till February 26 evening,

10. Why Bangladesh TV was not showing anything about the mutiny or even news scroll, although the issue was being covered by all private channels,

11. Why the mutineers were terming the PM as "amader netri" (our leader),

12. Why some mutineers were chanting Awami League´s party slogan ´Joy Bangla´ while they were talking to the press,

13. There had been several overseas incoming calls inside the BDR headquarters during the massacre. Investigators are trying to find the callers,

14. Why Prime Minister´s son Sajib Wajed Joy came to Dubai on February 27 to meet some of the fleeing mutineers,

15. Why Joy handed over thick envelops to each of the fleeing mutineers at the Dubai airport,

16. Why Joy made critical remarks on Bangladesh Army and made army liable for the mutiny during interview with various international media,

17. Why Sajib Wajed Joy has been instructed by her mother not to come to Bangladesh before the investigation issue is over,

18. Why influential members of the government phoned certain foreign government asking help in case Bangladesh Army revolts against the ruling party,

19. Why Awami League leader Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir tried to flee the country on February 27,

20. Why minister Faruk Khan said, militants have penetrated in law enforcing and disciplined forces in Bangladesh,

21. Why the government is trying to keep the Inspector General of Police, whose son-in-law was murdered during the mutiny and daughter held hostage, is kept aloof from the investigation process,

22. Why the newly appointed commissioner of police warned the English medium and missionary schools and educational institutions of possible militant attack without any reason,

23. Why the PM did not allow the army to storm in to the BDR headquarters to rescue the officers and their family members,

24. What the CID team were removing from the BDR headquarters in the name of collecting ´evidence´,

25. What type of evidences were removed by the members of police when they were assigned to guard the BDR headquarters almost for more than 30 hours,

26. Why the Home Minister and other members of the ruling Alliance were visiting the BDR headquarters during dark hours of February 26, much after the surrender,

27. Why Awami League student wing leader Liakat Sikder is hiding since the massacre,

28. Why Awami League and its activists are continuing to demand trial of killers and their collaborators in civil courts instead of Court Martial,

29. Why a section of pro-Awami League journalists are continuing indirect campaign against army as well demanding trial in civil court,

30. Why the ruling party is echoing the voice of Indian media and especially the editorial commentary in The Statesman.

Reply to all these questions will surely help investigators in finding the truth and identifying the culprits. But, it is a big question as to whether the ruling party is willing to let a neutral investigation continue, which may go ultimately against many of the heavy-weights within their home.

Bangladeshi people are getting united with the demand of proper investigation and exemplary punishment to the perpetrators and collaborators of this extreme heinous crime. Anger within the armed forces is boiling like eruptive volcano. Members of the armed forces and those bereaved families can never forgive the killers and the collaborators.

People in power in Dhaka should understand this clearly!
