    Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 25 August 2024 | John Semmens
    At the Democrat Convention last week, former First Lady Michelle Obama warned voters that "you should be suspicious of those who take more than they need." Former Special Advisor for Green Jobs during the Obama Administration Van Jones called her words "a masterful act of leadership, it was a sacred task. I didn't realize I had been in a spiritual desert until Michelle and Barack created that oasis on that stage." While Michelle was pointing the finger at Trump who, with a net worth of $4.3 billion, presumably has more than he needs--something that a new Harris/Walz administration is eager...

    In February '04 my wife gave birth to a son who suffered a massive brain injury 12 hours after birth. After much counseling and consideration we have decided to consult with a leading med/mal attorney who has been consulting with experts regarding the merits of a possible case against a number of providers that were involved prior to as well as after delivery. My question is regarding fees. I believe there are general standards regarding fees and I'd like to know what is appropriate and reasonable. Is this something that can be negotiated? The attorney reviewing this matter is a...

    School officials in south Brooklyn have issued an ultimatum to parched students: Buy your drinks from us or go thirsty.The directive came down this month from the superintendent for Region 6, Gloria Buckery, who ordered district officials to ban students from bringing drinks to school.SNIP Some went so far as to suggest the ban is a ploy to encourage kids to drink Snapple — the official drink of city schools since last year.Under the $40 million deal, which gave Snapple exclusive rights to place vending machines in public schools for five years, schools are to get a 30 percent commission...
  • Gray Davis Appreciation Page

    The Gray Davis Appreciation Thread I realize that this is a California thing and a lot of you folks could care less (except that he may run for President some day), but I need a place to save some of my favorite articles about California Governor Gray Davis. Trust me that it's not a left vs. right thing. If it was strictly about ideology, I wouldn't even bother. This isn't about a 'woman's right to choose', it's not about my 2nd amendment right to own my own missile silo, it's not about price per megawatt on some energy contract, it's...
