Guess This Guy's Network Affiliation (Psst! Easy Question)

Former TV Reporter, Police Sergeant Arrested
Bernsen To Appear In Federal Court Tuesday

LOS ANGELES -- Former KTTV-TV Channel 11 reporter Rod Bernsen was arrested by Long Beach police and the FBI in connection with allegations about inappropriate contact with a minor aboard a cruise ship, authorities said today.

A criminal complaint will be filed Tuesday morning in U.S. District Court against Bernsen, 58, a former Los Angeles Police Department sergeant.

Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the United States Attorney's Office in Los Angeles, said he could not say what Bernsen was booked for because the complaint hasn't been filed yet, but said he was arrested after coming off a cruise ship in Long Beach on Saturday.

Crimes committed on the high seas are dealt with by federal authorities.

Laura Eimiller of the FBI said Bernsen will make an initial appearance before a federal magistrate on Tuesday at 2 p.m. in the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building and Courthouse.

Hm. Not too difficult, was it? Do you think Joe & Jane Sixpack are finally beginning to see a pattern? I mean, whenever something freaky happens, it's usually in Florida (no offense, smart people of FL), but Colorado is becoming a top contender (again, no offense, smart CO people). Women doing dastardly thing to their children usually equals evangelical/Republican, and sexual predator associated with a major news network? I automatically think of Bill O'Reilly, who works for the same network as this latest "high seas" cruising guy.

This phenomenon is called branding. And it really, really works. For example, when you see young people frolicking to snappy music at the beginning of a commercial, and you automatically think of Target stores... even though it turns out to be a Macy's ad... Target, Inc. thanks you for recognizing their "brand."

Enough said.

Best bar bet in the world: Delilah didn't do it.
Judges 16:19-- And she made him (Samson) sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head.

Anonymous said...: I happened to know Rod Bernsen as former LAPD Cop.

It is just so easy to point our fingers and say ‘he did it.’ But it takes courage to stand by the accused.

My Synopsis
Normally I would not publicly make public comments as I am about to. While the allegations are no doubt morally depraved, I will still give Sgt Rod Bernsen much benefit of the doubt. After all, this is still America and we are “innocent until proven guilty.”

I have seen way too many sexual cases fall apart, once the alleged victims are proven to be liars.

1. I worked with Sgt Rod Bernsen at LAPD 77th Div. Never did I hear or see anything even questionable in his character, conduct or integrity. I worked with him. I changed in the same locker room as he did. I was on multiple crime scenes with Him. I shared coffee and breakfast with him, and others. I always had an utmost respect for his values and integrity. And too be honest, there were ‘other’ officers that displayed questionable sexual conduct. But NEVER Sgt Bernsen.

2. These two ‘alleged’ victim teens just happened to ‘know one another,’ and are ‘related’. Had the two been separate and independent victims, who did not even know about the other’s allegations, and then I would be very concerned for Sgt Bernsen. However they had plenty of time to discuss the allegations. Not to mention their past.

3. According to the paper, Sgt Rod Bernsen was in a sauna where only adults were allowed. Therefore even if (IF) he was naked, there is nothing wrong with that. It was the boys that violated the Ships policies and entered this room. Their mother and father should have spanked them (and I don’t believe Sgt Bernsen did.) But Sgt Bernsen is a kind man, and he is not the critical, cynical ‘trust no one’ guy like as myself. So he may not have run from the sauna (again according to the paper.)

4. If (IF) Sgt Bernsen had engaged in this type of activity, he would not have taken this risk with his wife and sister aboard the ship (the sister, I happened to know as well.) He was in a ‘captive crime scene’ leaving a ‘paper and electronic trail.’ Behind. It’s just not believable.

5. This criminal defense case will very much rely on the Utah Investigator. Therefore it will be an ‘investigator driven’ case. And no doubt, the Utah PI also be falsely accused of misconduct, just for defending him.[1] Then the attorney needs to be a cutting edge ‘trial attorney.’ Sad thing is, Sgt Bernsen may for financial and stress related reasons, be forced to succumb to a plea barging (even if innocent.) It happens all too often.

6. And lastly, this could happen to me, “Oh by the grace of God, so go I.” Sgt Bernsen if you’re reading this, please look upward and stay strong.

Bucky (Brown Bag Blog) says...

The Koufaxes (or "the Sandies") are like the SAG or Golden Globe awards, while the Webbies are comparable to the Oscars. Getting a Koufax denotes being a class act while getting a Webbie, while certainly an honor, takes a little more politickin' than most of the celler-dwelling idealists who blogviate are up for.
From The Official Koufax Award site...

The Koufax Awards are intended to help forge a sense of community among bloggers and their readership. We hope to make introductions of bloggers to each other and to readers. We also hope to create a sense that we all live in the same virtual neighborhood and that it is a very nice neighborhood indeed.

From The Blog Box:

A Scrivener's Lament is officially your go-to scrivener for the next big electoral college showdown. In this case Scrivener Delilah Boyd is keeping an eye on the Electoral College of Cardinals, who Scriv thinks may at any moment be called upon to fly off to Rome (that's as in fly by airplane; only nuns can fly for real) and pick a new pope. But his Holiness is doing better, you must be thinking. Well, the Scriv ain't so sure and even has actual photographs (you'll have to scroll down a bit) of the Holy Father getting viciously attacked by (assumes Scriv) the Lord's messengers of vengeance - apparently to the delight of little children. Anyhoo, the Lament has been keeping files on top candidates for the next Bishop of Rome so that when the sad day comes, you'll know where to turn for all the horserace action. I mention this only because A Scrivener's Lament has been nominated for a Sandy Award in the Most Humorous Blog category.
At A Scrivener's Lament, Delilah Boyd offers a little sigh over the sudden announcement that the Bushies aren't gonna look for WMDs in Iraq anymore. Then the Scrivener offers a useful list of quotes from the administration hornswaggling the country - oops, I mean being sadly misled by the entire intelligence community - about the possibility of weapons stockpiles in Iraq. Maybe Delilah needs to offer to do some volunteer archiving for large media networks. Apparently NBC, CBS, & ABC's news operations are too cash strapped to afford to hire researchers to dig up obscure, unknown quotes likes these for when the yellowcake hits the fan (or in this case fails to).

RE: Christmas Party

I'm happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take place on December 23rd, starting at noon in the private function room at the Grill House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks! We'll have a small band playing traditional carols...please feel free to sing along. And don't be surprised if the Managing Director shows up dressed as Santa Claus!

A Christmas tree will be lit at 1.00p.m.. Exchange of gifts among employees can be done at that time; however, no gift should be over $10.00 to make the giving of gifts easy for everyone's pockets. This gathering is only for employees! The Managing Director will make a special announcement at the Party.

Merry Christmas to you and your Family.

RE: Holiday Party

In no way was yesterday's memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees. We recognize that Chanukah is an important holiday, which often coincides with Christmas. However, from now on we're calling it our 'Holiday Party.' The same policy applies to any other employees who are not Christians. There will be no Christmas tree or Christmas carols sung. We will have other types of music for your enjoyment. Happy now?

Happy Holidays to you and your family,

Pauline

RE: Holiday Party

Regarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table...you didn't sign your name. I'm happy to accommodate this request, but if I put a sign on a table that reads, "AA Only," you wouldn't be anonymous anymore!!!! How am I supposed to handle this? Somebody?

Forget about the gift exchange, no gift exchange allowed now since the Union Officials feel that $10.00 is too much money and Management believes $10.00 is a little cheap. NO GIFT EXCHANGE WILL BE ALLOWED.

RE: Holiday Party

What a diverse group we are! I had no idea that December 20th begins the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating and drinking during daylight hours. There goes the party! Seriously, we can appreciate how a luncheon at this time of year does not accommodate our Muslim employees' beliefs, perhaps the Grill House can hold off on serving your meal until the end of the party - or else package everything up for you to take home in a little foil doggy bag. Will that work?

Meanwhile, I've arranged for members of Weight Watchers to sit farthest from the dessert buffet, and pregnant women will get the table closest to the toilets. Gays are allowed to sit with each other, but Lesbians do not have to sit with gay men: each will have their own table. Yes, there will be flower arrangements for the gay men's table, too.

To the person asking permission to cross dress - no cross dressing allowed unless the Supreme Court intervenes before the 23rd.

We will have booster seats for short people. Low fat food will be available for those on a diet. We cannot control the salt used in the food. We suggest those people with high blood pressure taste the food first. There will be fresh fruits as dessert for Diabetics, but the restaurant cannot supply "No Sugar" desserts. Sorry! Did I miss anything?!?!?!?!?!

RE: The ******** Holiday Party

Vegetarian pricks! I've had it with you people!!! We're going to keep this party at the Grill House whether you like it or not, so you can sit quietly at the table furthest from the "grill of death," as you so quaintly put it; you'll get your f****** salad bar, including organic tomatoes. But you know tomatoes have feelings, too. They scream when you slice them. I've heard them scream. I'm hearing the scream right NOW!!

I hope you all have a rotten holiday! Drink, drive and die, Jesus-hating Scum!

RE: Pauline Lewis and Holiday Party

I'm sure I speak for all of us in wishing Pauline Lewis a speedy recovery, and I'll continue to forward your cards to her. In the meantime, Management has decided to cancel our Holiday Party and, instead, give everyone the afternoon of December 23rd off with full pay.

Scrivener Humor
A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to helping the other monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church by hand. He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from copies, not from the original manuscript. So, the new monk goes to the head abbot to question this, pointing out that if someone made even a small error in the first copy, it would never be picked up. In fact, that error would be continued in all of the subsequent copies. The head monk says, "We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son." So, he goes down into the dark caves... ...underneath the monastery where the original manuscripts are held as archives in a locked vault that hasn't been opened for hundreds of years. Hours go by and nobody sees the old abbot. So, the young monk gets worried and goes down to look for him. He sees him banging his head against the wall, and wailing, "We forgot the "R", we forgot the "R". His forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying uncontrollably. The young monk asks the old abbot, "What's wrong, father?" With a choking voice, the old abbot replies, "The word was celebrate."

Psst! Only first-time visitors are counted, y'all!
