Hard to believe, isn’t it? Bill O’Reilly attended the White House Christmas party and had some rather nice things to say about the first lady, Michelle Obama. Ingraham accused O’Reilly of gushing over her. O’Reilly has that Irish temper and we got to see a bit of it.

Washington (CNN) — Five people, including three police officers, have been indicted on charges related to the beating death of a Latino man in rural Pennsylvania in July 2008, the Justice Department said Tuesday.
Two indictments charge the five with federal hate crimes, obstruction of justice and conspiracy in what authorities are calling a racially motivated attack.
Former Tech Decapitator Pleads Guilty to Murder Charges
About a year ago we ran an article about Haiyang Zhu who murdered international student Xin Yang. Ms Yang had been at Tech only about 2 weeks, Zhu had been appointed as a mentor to help her become acclimated to Tech. Both students were from China.
Zhu didn’t just murder Ms. Yang. He decapitated her. This week Mr. Zhu plead guilty to first degree murder. He faces up to life in prison. Mr. Zhu reportedly had been very troubled before the murder. Managers at the apartment complex where he lived had tried to get Blacksburg police involved because of the strange behavior he exibited, to no avail.
