Roderick Scott went out of his house to confront a trio of punks breaking into cars in his Greece, New York neighborhood. Scott's story was that he fired 2 rounds at one of them when the young man charged him after being told to freeze and wait for the cops. So, we largely have an inverse image of the incident in which Travon Martin perished, complete with the kinfolk weeping thusly....

A DC airport ticket agent offers some examples of 'why' our country is in trouble! 1.I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol Shea-Porter) ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!) 2.I got a call from a Kansas Congressman's (Moore) staffer (Howard Bauleke), who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information, and then he interrupted me with, ''I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts .'' Without trying to make him...

The Drudge Report has an image of a woman from an airport scanner up right now. It's scandalous enough as is, but it's shockingly easy to make it look even more like a normal nude photograph.

Congress Tinkers with Withholding Tax Tables for 2010 by SusanAnne Hiller Recently, retired military have received e-mail messages notifying them of a withholding tax increase. The email states: NO ANNUAL COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT (COLA) WILL BE ADDED TO MILITARY RETIRED PAY IN 2010. DUE TO RECENT LEGISLATION YOUR FEDERAL WITHHOLDING TAX HAS CHANGED. After much investigating and several discussions with the IRS, it appears the Democrats have played a “cash-flow trick” on working Americans and are taking more out of American’s paychecks across the board–all the while touting the Making Work Pay tax credit. The trick, when looking at...

When the trick or treaters show up at your door dressed up in their Obama masks, be sure to show them the candy that you are now going to redistribute to a homeless guy on the way in to work. This should give them a long-lasting lesson in redistribution of wealth.

To Barack Hussein Obama The New York Times carried a story on Saturday, October 4, 2008 that proved you had a significantly closer relationship with Bill Ayers than what you previously admitted. While the issue of your relationship is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America about it. The Chicago Sun reported on May 8, 2008 that FBI records showed that you had a significantly closer relationship with Tony Rezko than what you previously a dmitted. In the interview, you said that you only saw Mr. Rezko a couple of times a year. The FBI files...

Interesting facts on Obama Much is made of McCain's age. Has anyone brought up the fact that Obama smokes and both of his parents died at an early age? Plus, Biden has had two brain aneurysms which could have killed him. If they both died while in office that would leave Nancy Pelosi as president. I can't think of a better reason to vote for McCain & Palin.

Tibet’s living Buddhas have been banned from reincarnation without permission from China’s atheist leaders. The ban is included in new rules intended to assert Beijing’s authority over Tibet’s restive and deeply Buddhist people. “The so-called reincarnated living Buddha without government approval is illegal and invalid,” according to the order, which comes into effect on September 1. The 14-part regulation issued by the State Administration for Religious Affairs is aimed at limiting the influence of Tibet’s exiled god-king, the Dalai Lama, and at preventing the re-incarnation of the 72-year-old monk without approval from Beijing. It is the latest in a series...

Ok, pardon me for the waste of bandwidth, but when I saw the backdrop of the Republican Convention tonight, the words "A President with A Purpose", I couldn't help but think of Clintoon jumping up and down, pointing at his TV, screaming "Hey wait.....I've got a Special Purpose Too!!!"
