Love that one
When Big Gulps are outlawed....only outlaws will have Big Gulps
Beware the refill police!!!!
ROFL at a lot of those! hehehhe
The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade this year...
The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest.
I decided we would have an election for a class president.
We would choose our nominees... They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote.
To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class members.
We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have.
We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot.
The class had done a great job in their selections. Both candidates were good kids.
I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support.
I had never seen Olivia’s mother.
The day arrived when they were to make their speeches.
Jamie went first.
He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better
place. He ended by promising to do his very best.
Everyone applauded and he sat down.
Now it was Olivia’s turn to speak.
Her speech was concise.She said, “If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream.” She sat down.
The class went wild. “Yes! Yes! We want ice cream.”
She surely would say more. She did not have to.
A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She wasn’t sure. But no one pursued that question. They took her at her word.
Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it....She didn’t know.
The class really didn’t care. All they were thinking about was ice cream...
Jamie was forgotten.. Olivia won by a landslide.
Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream and 51.4 % of the people reacted like nine year olds.
They want ice cream.
The other 48.6% percent know they’re going to have to feed the cow and clean up the mess.
Nice graphic, but it excludes 100 items that are an even bigger problem: The Senate.
The trouble with too many Congresscritters is that they think recycle means they getting re-elected.
The silliness thread is here! The silliness thread is here!
Oops! APD officers caught dragging gas nozzle through street
An embarrassing moment for some APD officers was caught on camera when a FOX 7 viewer snapped a photo of a patrol car dragging a gas nozzle through the streets.
The viewer, Nate, told FOX 7 he took the photo Wednesday morning after he dropped his daughter off at school near Koenig and Burnet.
As Nate passed the car, he said there were two officers inside and neither appeared to realize they were dragging the nozzle and hose.
Nate said the officer driving was talking on his cell phone and probably could not hear the sound of the hose dragging along.
The Austin Police Department told FOX 7 the incident was under investigation and that supervisors would determine if there will be any disciplinary action.
Have you ever driven away from the gas pump with the nozzle still in your car? If so tell us about it in the comments below.
