Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
Ugg Boot
I've learned a new expression that fits me: Being bad makes me good.
Don't you agree? If not, get the hell off of my site!
Town Raffles Rifles to Raise Money for School. I'm very surprised that this makes the news. The school I graduated from has had a rifle raffle every year for as long as I can remember. No winner has ever murdered anyone. The rifle is never on school property. You must be a certain age to win. What's the problem? Oh that's right. Guns are bad.
A Spanish army sergeant has been arrested for staging a make-believe attack in a Madrid bar using a plastic toy gun, Defense Minister Jose Bono said on Wednesday after dropping into the bar to apologize. Were working with a smart one here.
A German computer scientist has broken the world record in mental calculation, needing just 11.80 seconds to work out the 13th root of a 100-digit number. I bet he's a fun date.
The bat Babe Ruth used to hit the first home run in Yankee Stadium and help usher in 80 years of New York Yankee dominance over his former team, the Boston Red Sox, is going on the auction block. Who in their right mind would sell that? ME!!!!
A 72-year-old great-grandmother is preparing for deployment to the war zone in Iraq and will become one of the oldest Department of Defense civilian workers in the war zone. That's one tough grandma.
A Nashua School District driving instructor is due to appear in Merrimack District Court Dec. 1 after being charged with drunk driving Monday. Back when I was a cop, I received a call in reference to a possible dwi. I get behind the maroon suburban and sure enough, the vehicle is swerving. I initiate the stop and speak to the young driver. That's when I notice the clipboard on the passengers lap. Turns out, the young driver had just started drivers education. I bet he had to work extra hard for his license. Louisiana state law doesn't require the Caution Student Driver stickers on the vehicles although most insurance companies require it.
Fan banned for racist abuse. Let's talk about racism. Every morning on the way to work I hear this commercial that goes like this. (obviously white people talking)"Did you have any luck renting the apartment yesterday? No. I told him the apartment was already spoken for. You wouldn't want him living beside you, he's a brother. A Brother???? You know, a black guy, you know what I mean? No David, I don't know what you mean. (enter obvious black voice)Imagine what one voice can do." I agree that racism is wrong. I respect every living being. Of course some idiots are excluded. It seems to me in my everyday life that the African American population are the racist ones. In the past year I've heard maybe two racist remarks towards African Americans. You can turn on the tv and hear two racist remarks towards the white man or cracka. Does this seem right? I don't think so. So next time you complain about racism, remember it's a two way street.
Cell phone batteries explode, causing recalls. For some a blessing, others a curse.
San Antonio police say they've arrested a Pentagon analyst who allegedly flew to the Alamo City to have sex with a 14-year-old girl. Ouch.
