Whether or not there were any occupants inside of this waterfront estate when this fire broke out early this morning. The Anne Arundel County Fire Department tells me around 3 30 this morning, a neighbor called 911 reporting the four alarm to authorities. By the time firefighters arrived here along the 900 block of child point road the mansion was already engulfed in flames and too unstable for firefighters to enter and check for occupant. It took four hours to finally put out the flames. We did sme digging and learned that john pile and his wife sandy own this 9 million home. Mr. Pile has owned several multibillion dollar i. T.

To me it looks like the world trade center. This was quite a landmark on the river. Only one or two houses that is as big as this house. It goes all the way to the entrance

Some of his previous books include do as i say not as i do profiles in liberal hypocrisy and the more sus sinksly titled and this is ream makers and takers why conservatives work harder feel happier, give more generously whine less and even hug their children more than liberals. So clearly, clearly its hard to tell if he has any bias. Harsh. Still, the impact of the book has been remarkable.

They expanded on some of the books allegations which fed the media beast and prompted the times to observe the book had more impact because theth

Hi everybody, im jenna lee. Mitt romney spent three weeks considering the idea of running for president yet again, this after surprising financial backers with hints he may take a third crack at the oval office. But those donors have apparently moved on, or so we hear. In calls to staff and supporters this morning romney said it was time for him to get out of the way.

Publicly and privately, it had all the indications that he was moving towards a direction that he would do it. If you look at the san diego speech from a week ago and the Mississippi State speech all of those had the trappings of a president ial candidate. Complete with sending out the excerpts of a speech beforehand. And even privately, governor romney said, in conversations that he had with me when he confirmed that he was thinking about it he said if you want to be president , you have to run for pre
