End of Religion Bashing in Presidential Race

President Obama and presumptive GOP nominee Romney will no longer be allowing attacks on each others religions, after they established a sort of truce. Recently, Republican Super PAC's proposed to put a spotlight on President Barack Obama's religion, as had happened in 2008. However, Romney shot the effort down before it even got off the ground, saying "I repudiate that effort. I think it's the wrong course for a PAC or a campaign. I hope that our campaigns can respectfully be about the future and about issues and about a vision for America." Obama reciprocated that sentiment as Democrats, upset about the idea of Obama's religion being under fire, said that Romney's religion should be under fire, too, stating that “We've said that's not fair game. And we wish that Gov. Romney would stand up as strongly and as resolutely consistently to refute these kinds of things on his side.”So now both political candidates have stated that the topic of faith shall no longer be used as a means of personal attack, and so the presidential race should now be about only topics regarding each candidates campaign.

Student Forgotten In Cell For 5 Days

5th year college student Daniel Chong, of San Diego, is suing the DEA, or Drug Enforcement Administration, for accidentally leaving him in holding cell for 5 days. The 23 year old was brought in by DEA agents while he and his friends were at a house suspected of being used to distribute ecstasy. There were never any actual charges against Chong, and while the other 8 suspects were released or transferred, Chong was forgotten. He was left in a small, windowless cell without food or water for from April 21 to April 25. Chong started hallucinating by the end of the third day, and has said that he wanted to kill himself from the pain. When he was finally released from the cell, he stayed at the hospital for two days, having been close to death from kidney failure. The acting special agent in charge of the DEA's San Diego office said he was "deeply troubled" by the incident and he offered his "deepest apologies" to Chong. Chong has now filed a damage claim, the beginning of a civil suit case.
