 RISING FOOD PRICES
 Have you noticed that food prices are rising around the world? Hmmm. Wonder
if this happens to have anything to with the ethanol nonsense. So much arable
land is being used to grow corn for ethanol .. with huge government subsidies ..
that land for growing other crops is dwindling? Let's see. Could the law of
supply and demand be at work here? Remember, though. We have to fight global
warming – even if people starve. As Ted told us, we have too many people
anyway.
ANOTHER "MISTAKE" BY HILLARY?
Notice that I'm not calling this a lie. A lie is a statement that you know
to be untrue at the time you say it. Hillary didn't know.
If you've been listening to Hillary's stump speech you've heard the story
about the woman who died because she didn't have $100 for a hospital? The story
went something like this: An uninsured pregnant woman (who could imagine such a
thing?) goes to a hospital in Ohio. The hospital denied her medical care
because she couldn't come up with $100. Now --- Hillary never asked the
question about what in the hell a woman who couldn't put her hand on one hundred
bucks was doing pregnant. The answer, of course, is that she was getting ready
to download a baby that the rest of us were going to have to pay for. Anyway ...
Hillary then tells how the woman lost her baby and then dies two weeks later.
There's a problem here.
It never happened. The hospital officials are now
correcting the record by telling the media that the woman was, in fact, getting
medical care. She was under the care of an obstetrics practice. She also had
insurance .. and the hospital never denied her care. It was all untrue. The
Clinton campaign says that they never really checked the story to see if it was
true. I'm sure they didn't. Just too good a story ... much too good to loose it
to the truth.
MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO SURRENDER YOUR GUNS
 In Washington DC, the Police Chief has figured out a way to seize all of
those illegal guns from private homes ...
make an appointment. That's right. The police want to search your house,
so they are going to rely on citizens to voluntarily sign up for times for
police to come on over. Police will distribute literature to homes in
high-crime neighborhoods which will ask the owners to sign forms and set up the
appointments. Just so you know, amnesty will be granted for any gun possession
charges, but not for those which has committed crimes with that gun.
Wait a minute ... don't we have a case before the Supreme Court on this issue?
ANOTHER GOVERNMENT STIMULUS?
Nancy Pelosi has decided that the government must come to the rescue ... yet
again.
She wants a second stimulus bill, after hearing that that 80,000 jobs were
lost last month. She hasn't decided what the second package will be, but you
can be assured that it will involve using the police power of government to
seize property from those who have earned it and then handing that property to
those who have done nothing to deserve it – except sit on their asses and wait
for the government to cover for their laziness In the past, Nancy has indicated
that she wants to increase unemployment insurance and food stamp payments, and
she wants to put together public works spending packages. Yeah ... let's get
those non-achievers out in the national forests raking leaves.
CONDO HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATIONS
Carol and Sabatino Ranucci are unfortunately experiencing the old saying "No
good deed goes unpunished." The Ranuccis are snowbirds from Rhode Island who
spend half the year living in a condo in Boca Raton, Florida. They have owned a
unit in the Boca Verde condos for over 20 years. In the same building lived a
man by the name of Paul Ryan. Ryan, is a 60-year-old Army veteran. When times
got hard for Ryan two years ago, the Ranuccis recognized that he had no family
to turn to and they offered to help. They paid for his bills, they took him to
the doctor, they picked up his medicine and they helped him get his disability
benefits. In other words, the Ranuccis did a good thing by helping someone,
with no strings attached. In their efforts,
they also bought Ryan's condo, which was imminently facing foreclosure, and
they let him stay there at no charge.
Now the Boca Verde condo wants Ryan out. Here are the particulars. The
Ranuccis transferred the condo to a trust they created, then they gave Ryan a
life lease so he could stay in the condo for free until he goes tango uniform.
The life lease also meant that Ryan wouldn't be subject to a rule created by the
condo association that sets a one-year maximum for renting. But even though the
life estate and the Palm Beach County property records recognize the condo in
Ryan's name, the board decided that he still isn't the unit's true owner and
therefore he can't stay. The board wants to consider Ryan a renter, and by the
rules of the association, they can kick him out after one year. So now the
association has filed a suit against the Ranuccis and Ryan for the "immediate
removal" of Ryan from the complex.
As I've said before; once a year we ought to chose one condominium
association and one neighborhood homeowner's association at random ... and execute
them on a Saturday night pay-per-view extravaganza. I think we have a
candidate.
INTERNET SAFETY LESSONS
 The state of Virginia has decided to take matters into its own hands to
protect your precious little angels from child predators. So in Virginia,
government school children will now be forced by the government to take
Internet safety education classes. The courses will be partially funded by
the federal government to provide government schools with no-cost Internet
safety lessons for students that are 11 to 16-years-old. That's right. Unlike
states like Texas and Illinois who have passed similar laws, the Virginia law
makes these classes mandatory.
The Virginia Department of Education's office of educational technology says
that these courses will be integrated into existing coursework. She also wants
to help schools educate parents about the dangers of the Internet, including
encouraging families to use filtering software on their computers and put all
computers in public areas of the house so that parents can monitor Internet
activity.
Next stop? How about requiring a license to surf the Web?
BORDER PROTECTION ... FOR SAN FRANCISCO?
The city of San Francisco has some explaining to do after receiving a $3.7
million federal grant in 2006
to help fight border crime. This was the largest grant awarded to any
county in the four states that border Mexico. Now for those of you who are
government educated and haven't figure this out yet ... San Francisco is nowhere
near the Mexican border. In fact, it is 500 miles from the border. Yet this
grant is designed to help local governments pay to prosecute cases that they
were forced to handle because of federal efforts to combat crime in states
bordering Mexico.
The recent audit challenges some of the $5.4 million that was awarded to San
Francisco from 2004 to 2006 under the Southwest Border Prosecution Initiative.
City officials apparently got the funds by making an "estimate" of the number of
cases it handled on behalf of the federal government. The audit also found that
the required referrals from federal authorities were nowhere to be found ...
therefore the auditors concluded that all of the money taken by San Francisco
was not justified. Federal officials are saying that they will ask San
Francisco to repay the money, but they have yet to determine how to go about it.
Just cut the level of government aid to San Francisco? Hold back some
checks. Easy enough.
IMMIGRANT DRIVER'S LICENSES
The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety is under investigation for violating
the civil rights of Iranian immigrants because
it refuses to provide the Iranian's with driver's license tests in their native
language of Farsi. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
launched an investigation after receiving a complaint accusing the agency of
unlawful discrimination based on their national origin. For not understanding
English, these Iranian immigrants sure seem to have an understanding of our
legal system.
The complaint was filed on behalf of Fardha Yabba Dabba Sharifi and her
husband, Alireza Mohammed Muhammed "Big Mo" Muckety Muck Sanghinmanesh. The
couple eventually went to Kansas to pass the driving exam because the Kansas
test uses graphic symbols, rather than language, which allowed them to pass.
They returned to Oklahoma and exchanged the Kansas licenses for Oklahoma
licenses and are now legally licensed to drive in the state.
