Wheelchair ramp will cost $100,000
a foot
To prevent your head from
exploding, swallow a full bottle Valium, and do a couple of shots of
bourbon, before you read on.
Where else but San Francisco City
Hall could a 10-foot-long wheelchair ramp wind up costing $1 million?
Thanks to a maze of bureaucratic
indecision and historic restrictions, taxpayers may shell out $100,000
per foot to make the Board of Supervisors president's perch in the
historic chambers accessible to the disabled.
What's more, the
little remodel job that planners first thought would take three months
has stretched into more than four years - and will probably mean the
supervisors will have to move out of their hallowed hall for five months
while the work is done.
10 F**king
feet!!!!!! Let me repeat, 10 F**king feet!!!! One days work for any
hardworking, honest, American!!
The root of the problem dates
back to when City Hall got a $300 million makeover in the 1990s that
made just about every hallway, bathroom and office accessible to the
disabled. The exception was the board president's podium, which is
reachable only for someone who can climb the five steps from the chamber
floor.
The understanding was that the
room would eventually be made fully accessible. But no one worried about
the podium until 2004 when Supervisor Michela
Alioto-Pier, who uses a wheelchair, joined the board.
Then preservation
architects from the San Francisco firm Page and Turnbill worked up no
fewer than 18 design options - at a cost of $98,000.....
$98,000 of tax
payer money BLOWN, for design options??? It is a f**king RAMP!!!! A
f**king ramp!
A kid taking shop
in a government high school could design that for nothing! It could be
the days class assignment.
My shovel is
white-hot and begging to be swung!
No one could decide which design
to use, so after a year of arguing, the Department of Public Works was
ordered to make 3-D computer models of all the options.
The ramp won, which means
lowering the president's desk, which means eliminating three of the
"historic" stairs and tearing out Manchurian oak panels that are no
longer available, which in turn will mean finding a historically correct
replacement.
And because the
ramp was going to encroach on the room's sound equipment, officials
decided they might as well use the opportunity to upgrade the board
chamber's entire audio-visual system, to the tune of $300,000.
Here is a
breakdown of how the taxpayers money is going to be impounded, seized,
confiscated and tossed into the toilet. Our government SUCKS!
$77,000 for the city's Bureau of
Architecture project manager, design and construction fees.
$455,000 for the actual
construction, plus asbestos removal.
$28,000 for a construction
scheduling consultant.
$3,500 for an electrical
consultant.
$68,000 for the Bureau of
Construction Management to oversee the construction and various
consultants.
$12,000 for Department of
Technology and Information Services oversight.
$16,500 for permits and fees.
(Yes, believe it or not, the city charges itself.
And as much as $65,000 for bid
overruns.
All for a total of: $1,123,000.
I hate what our government has
become.
All politicians need a shovel
to the head. ALL OF THEM!
McCain’s Canal Zone Birth Prompts
Queries About Whether That Rules Him Out
My head is
going to EXPLODE!
The liberal
press needs to be beat to death with a shovel. My God!!! These
freaks are out of their minds.
The
question has nagged at the parents of Americans born outside the
continental United States for generations: Dare their children
aspire to grow up and become president? In the case of Senator
John
McCain of Arizona, the issue
is becoming more than a matter of parental daydreaming.
Mr.
McCain’s likely nomination as the Republican candidate for president
and the happenstance of his birth in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936
are reviving a musty debate that has surfaced periodically since the
founders first set quill to parchment and declared that only a
“natural-born citizen” can hold the nation’s highest office.
What a
f**king load of CRAP!!!! His father was serving our country, you
liberal sh*t sucking scumbags!
Hello????!!!
....“natural-born citizen”.....
Those words were written when we were fighting on our own land. Not
when we were sending men to fight in other lands. You f*cking,
dolts!
Please run
with this you lib sh*it bags. Please! Please!! Run with it!!
America
will turn on you in waves that you will not believe!
Almost
since those words were written in 1787 with scant explanation, their
precise meaning has been the stuff of confusion, law school review
articles, whisper campaigns and civics class debates over whether
only those delivered on American soil can be truly natural born. To
date, no American to take the presidential oath has had an official
birthplace outside the 50 states.
“There are
powerful arguments that Senator McCain or anyone else in this
position is constitutionally qualified, but there is certainly no
precedent,” said Sarah H. Duggin, an associate professor of law at
Catholic University who has studied the issue extensively. “It is
not a slam-dunk situation.”
Yes it is.
And you lose, Byoitch!!!!! You lose! Whap!
Mr.
McCain was born on a military installation in the Canal Zone, where
his mother and father, a Navy officer, were stationed.
His father
was stationed there. Serving our country - something we will never
count on your bitch ass to do, you skank.
Man....insane.
Lets all
pray......Lord, please give all of the liberal idiots an incurable
case of painful, incurable, rectal itch!!! WHAP!.
Side note, I am
not a McCain fan, but this is bullsh**.
See you guys
Monday. Hopefully I will have calmed down by then. I promise that I will
take my medication.
Sorry for the
language. Well, not really!
Have a great
weekend!

US Mint rejects quarter featuring
voting rights message
The
U.S. Mint
has rejected the designs for a commemorative D.C. quarter because they
include the words "Taxation Without Representation."
In a statement
Wednesday, the Mint said it was taking no position on the merits of the
issue, but that "the proposed inscription is clearly controversial and,
therefore, inappropriate."
Controversial
my ass! It is THE FREAKING TRUTH!!! It should be on every coin and
bill that our government prints.
We are no
longer represented, we are fiscally herded, like cattle, by politicians
on both sides of the isle. You need a microscope to find the differences
between the Democrats and the Republicans anymore.
Both parties
live to confiscate your wages, and then spread them around to insure
that they can maintain the votes that will allow them to live out their
lives, carefree, up there on that hill.
These freaks
are power hungry and they will not give it up unless we pick up our
shovels and surround D.C.
Boston Tea
Party... hmmmm..... how about a D.C. Shovel Party??? WHAP!!!!!
Politicians are
completely disconnected from life outside of their glad-handing beltway.
They need to be
done away with.
Many sex ed teachers may lack
training
A sizable
minority of sex education teachers does not cover all of the basics, and
many lack training to teach sex ed at all, a survey of teachers in one
state suggests.
In a study of
sex ed teachers at 201 Illinois schools, researchers found that
one-third of teachers did not give comprehensive instruction -- defined
as covering the four basic topics of abstinence, birth control, HIV/AIDS
and other sexually transmitted diseases.
In addition, 30
percent said they had no special training in teaching sex education, and
these teachers were less likely to teach a comprehensive course.
My sex
education teacher in high school was also a football coach. He was
always hung-over, and obviously pissed that they made him teach a class.
He said, "save
it for marriage, but if you don't, which you won't, - put a skin on it
and boogie oogie, oogie like you just can't boogie no more."
Then he would
slurp down an Alka-Seltzer and tell us to study on our own.
Do you
have a legal right to own a gun?
This headline
provided by a liberal 'journalist' who, apparently, hasn't read the
Constitution.
Guns, and
questions about how much power the government has to keep people from
owning them, are at the core of one of the most divisive topics in
American politics.
Huh??
Read the 2nd Amendment you f**king power-hungry sphincters!! "The right
to keep and bear arms.." !!
Not something
that is up for debate.
Nearly three
out of four Americans — 73% — believe the Second Amendment spells out an
individual right to own a firearm, according to a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll
of 1,016 adults taken Feb. 8-10.
If the court
decides there is an individual right to bear arms, it will be a huge
victory for gun-rights advocates.
"If the court
decides there is an individual right......???? " Hello, you f**king
liberal idiot! It will be a "victory" of Americans still recognizing our
Constitution!!
Read the
F**king Constitution!! The RIGHT is already there! This should not be a
debate. It is not up to these guys to decide!!!
God Almighty!
This country is circling the drain so fast that I get motionsickness
just watching it.
They will never
get my gun.... or my shovel.
Our government
is out of control and they need to be beat unmercifully.
David Letterman
and Keith Olberman are gay lovers....story developing.
William F. Buckley Jr. Dies at 82
R.I.P. -
Father of the modern conservatism.
William F. Buckley
Jr., the erudite Ivy Leaguer and conservative herald who showered huge
and scornful words on liberalism as he observed, abetted and cheered on
the right's post-World
War II
rise from the fringes to the White House, died Wednesday. He was 82.
His assistant Linda Bridges said Buckley was
found dead by his cook at his home in Stamford, Conn. The cause of death
was unknown, but he had been ill with emphysema, she said.
Editor, columnist,
novelist, debater, TV talk show star of "Firing Line," harpsichordist,
trans-oceanic sailor and even a good-natured loser in a New York mayor's
race, Buckley worked at a daunting pace, taking as little as 20 minutes
to write a column for his magazine, the
National Review.
Yet on the platform he was all handsome,
reptilian languor, flexing his imposing vocabulary ever so slowly,
accenting each point with an arched brow or rolling tongue and savoring
an opponent's discomfort with wide-eyed glee.
Buckley had for
years been withdrawing from public life, starting in 1990 when he
stepped down as top editor of the National Review. In December 1999, he
closed down "Firing Line" after a 23-year run, when guests ranged from
Richard Nixon
to Allen Ginsberg. "You've got to end sometime and I'd just as soon not
die onstage," he told the audience.
"For people of my generation, Bill Buckley
was pretty much the first intelligent, witty, well-educated conservative
one saw on television," fellow conservative William Kristol, editor of
the Weekly Standard, said at the time the show ended. "He legitimized
conservatism as an intellectual movement and therefore as a political
movement."
Fifty years earlier, few could have imagined
such a triumph. Conservatives had been marginalized by a generation of
discredited stands—from opposing Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal to the
isolationism which preceded the U.S. entry into World War II. Liberals
so dominated intellectual thought that the critic Lionel Trilling
claimed there were "no conservative or reactionary ideas in general
circulation."
The National
Review defended the
Vietnam War,
opposed civil rights legislation and once declared that "the White
community in the South is entitled to take such measures as are
necessary to prevail." Buckley also had little use for the music of the
counterculture, once calling the Beatles "so unbelievably horrible, so
appallingly unmusical, so dogmatically insensitive to the magic of the
art, that they qualify as crowned heads of antimusic."
I agree with
that!! When I am elected president I will outlaw the playing of all of
the crap that they put out. I will also declare that Ringo and Paul are
"audible terrorist" and ban them from entering this country.
The National
Review could do little to prevent Goldwater's landslide defeat in 1964,
but as conservatives gained influence so did Buckley and his magazine.
The long rise would culminate in 1980 when Buckley's good friend,
Ronald Reagan,
was elected president. The outsiders were now in, a development Buckley
accepted with a touch of rue.

Turnpike Ad Campaign Opposes Lease
Plan
Governor Ed
Rendell says leasing the Pennsylvania Turnpike could reap billions of
dollars and solve transportation problems, but the commission that runs
the turnpike is against the plan and they are spending tax dollars to
spread the word.
The Turnpike Commission says leasing the turnpike would be a big mistake
for Pennsylvania and they're stating some of the reasons why in a new ad
campaign.
Why does the
commission think it would be a big mistake?
Simple!
Because it would mean that they would lose their cushy life-long
government gravy train....... errrr... I mean job.
The commission is spending $300,000 in advertising this year in large
part to convince you that the turnpike should not go private.
But should the commission be using your money to basically convince you
to preserve their jobs?
Not only
no, but - HELL NO! They should all be beat to death with a shovel.
"They're a state agency that has to advertise to keep themselves in
existence. It does not make sense," State Sen. Jane Orie, R- North
Hills, said.
She says the commission itself is a big reason why the turnpike should
be privatized. In addition to money spent on advertising, the commission
spent close to $400,000 last year on lobbyists at a time when tolls are
set to increase by 25 percent.
"It is a state agency. It is owned by the state, state taxpayer dollars
are utilized in that and that they do not need to do advertising. They
don't need to do lobbying," she said.
Orie supports Rendell's proposal to lease the turnpike to a private
operator - a plan Rendell says will generate as much as $1.7 billion a
year to fund mass transit, repair decaying bridges and roads and even
eliminate Allegheny County's drink tax.
"We've got to look at it. We'd be negligent if we didn't pursue it,"
Rendell said.
And as part of that debate, the commission itself has come under fire as
a bastion of patronage, unchecked spending and even scandal.
Well,
duh!?!!That is how your government works nowadays, fellow Shovelers.
Privatize!
Privatize! Privatize!
I find it
annoyingly absurd how people who hear the word privatize, will
immediately start fretting over "corruption" - yet, they see story after
story about GOVERNMENT corruption, and just shrug their shoulders.
They don't want
the private sector to handle anything because they are afraid that there
MIGHT be corruption, but they will support the government that has
proven time after time that they are almost nothing but corrupt. INSANE!
WHAP!
Note to nut
jobs - private sector handling things, equals less taxes out of your
pocket! And better service.
28-year-old man charged with
cruelty to animals
Police arrested a 28-year-old man Sunday on a cruelty to
animals charge after he yelled an obscenity at a police
dog in a patrol vehicle, according to an arrest
affidavit.
Huh??!!!?? This is a classic case of "I got myself
a badge."
Moses Rogers Jr., of the 700 block of East Avenue, also
faces a disorderly conduct charge in connection with the
2:24 a.m. incidents in the 2300 block of Southeast
Federal Highway.
Police say Rogers yelled an obscene statement in the
window as he walked past a patrol vehicle that contained
a patrol dog “causing (the dog’s) behavior to become
overloaded, tormenting the dog,” the affidavit states.
WHAP!!! Crazy.
Like the dog knew it was an "obscene" statement! What
the hell?
These cops should be fired and sent back to do the work
that they are better qualified for ...I.E.
wearing Mc Donald's caps while dropping frozen baskets
of French fries into hot oil.
Why do people
still watch the mainstream - we hate America- media?? It is sick.
All of their
endless "special reports" on how horrible our country is. Negative,
negative, negative.... no matter the subject. WHAP!
My shovel is
glowing.

State representative wins $2
million
State Rep. Barb
Farrah, D-Southgate, is Michigan's newest lottery millionaire, winning
$2 million in a televised drawing Friday night at the Palace during the
Detroit Pistons game.
“I’ve had a lot
of marriage proposals in the last few days, all in jest,” laughed
Farrah, 42, who’s single. “It’s wonderful, it’s fun.” Look at her.
I bet all of
those proposals are coming from Ellen DeGeneres' vagetarian
audience members.
I wonder, just
how many C batteries will $2 MILLION BUY?? buzzzzzzzzzzz.......
But, hey, what
the heck. Look at her. For $2 million, I'd hit it........ WITH A
SHOVEL!!!!
She was among
five finalists for the $2 million from a pool of players who won $1,000
or more in a $20 Michigan instant lottery game. She said Monday she’s
not sure where she bought the instant ticket in January.
Farrah, who’ll
leave the House after this year because of term limits, said she’ll use
her winnings to pay off bills and invest. She said she doesn’t have
another job lined up, won’t retire and may run for the state Senate in
2010.
Farrah’s
position as chair of the House Regulatory Reform Committee drew flak
from the conservative blog,
RightMichigan.com, which called for her to resign because her
committee’s oversight includes the state lottery. Farrah denied any
conflict of interest. There is no ban on state legislators purchasing
lottery tickets.
Getting elected
is like hitting the lottery. Especially if you get elected to the U.S.
Senate. Hop on the tax payers backs and get a FREE ride for life! Ride
into the sunset. WHAP!!
Man Buys 4 Strands of George
Washington's Hair for $17G
It
might not even really be George Washington's hair — but
it still sold for $17,000.
Four strands reportedly clipped from the first president
were sold at auction Friday night to a Richmond man who
declined to give his name.
Colorado resident Christa Allen said her father, a
Philadelphia attorney, had given her the hair, which was
pressed under glass in a locket and accompanied by a
watch.
Allen told potential buyers that the hair had been
handed down since it was clipped from Washington's head.
The Historical Society of Montgomery County, Pa.,
inspected Allen's evidence and gave her its backing.
Jamie Bates, owner of Thompson & Riley, which auctioned
the hair, had hoped it would bring at least $75,000.
"I've never sold George Washington's hair before; I
don't know," Bates said before the auction.
Ya
know, sometimes I find stories that make me want to
swallow a fistful of hallucinogenics, turn off my
computer, and crawl into my closet with a stack of
Playboy's and a bucket full of Silly Putty. This is one
of them.
I
wonder, will this guy use the hairs to clone President
Washington?
Today's politicians would hate him.
Accused witch gives birth in tree
A PREGNANT woman in Papua New Guinea who was
hung from a tree after being accused of
sorcery gave birth to her baby while
struggling to free herself.
People are hanged -- horses, porn
stars, and everyone your wife has been with
before meeting you are 'hung.'
Nolan Yekum and her husband Paul were dragged
from their house and hung from a tree by fellow
tribesmen who accused them of sorcery after the
couple's neighbour suddenly died.
Burn her! Burn her!
Their ordeal occurred in Kilip village near Banz
in Western Highlands Province, PNG's newspaper
The National reported today.
The woman and her baby girl, her third child,
were doing well in Mt Hagen Hospital after two
weeks in hiding, the report said.
Her husband said men entered their house in the
middle of the night with a rope and tied it
round their necks, accusing them of sorcery over
their neighbour's death.
How did they know she was a witch? Because she
looked like one! And she weighed less than a
duck.
They were dragged outside and hung from a tree,
he said.
"We managed to loosen the noose to get our feet
on the ground ... we were able to free
ourselves.
"My wife, who was about seven months pregnant,
delivered the baby while struggling to free
herself.
"It was a painful experience for me and her," Mr
Yekum said.
He said he pleaded with villagers to wait for
his neighbour's post-mortem examination and he
accused local police of failing to act.
The couple denied practising sorcery.
The Clinton's claimed the same thing and they
ended up in the White House.

Deputy uses Taser on friend
Martin County's
Sheriff suspended a deputy for using her Taser against a fellow deputy,
during what he called "childish horseplay."
It happened
last November at the Martin County Courthouse. In surveillance video,
released today, Deputy Lori Kandill onto the x-ray counter at the
courthouse security checkpoint. She waves her Taser at several of her
fellow deputies.
Later in the
video she returns with her Taser drawn behind her and goes after her
friend Deputy Dillon Murphy.
Investigators
found Kandill deployed the Taser and shocked Murphy in the abdomen and
forearm.
A cop acting
like an idiot....hmmm that is just SHOCKING!
Sheriff Crowder
said Deputy Kandill's actions fell short of a crime, but they did land
her a 12 day suspension.
I wonder.... is
it a suspension without pay, or a 12 day paid vacation?
Saudi men arrested for 'flirting'
The men are
accused of wearing indecent clothes, playing loud music and dancing in
order to attract the attention of girls, the Saudi Gazette reported.
Man, if we had
that law here in the U.S. we could rid ourselves of that mind numbingly
annoying HIP HOP culture!
Earlier in the
month, the authorities enforced a ban on the sale of red roses and other
symbols used in many countries to mark Valentine's Day.
The ban is
partly because of the connection with a "pagan Christian holiday", and
also because the festival itself is seen as encouraging relations
between the sexes outside marriage, punishable by law in the kingdom.
Bill
Clinton -
note to self - "stay out of Saudi."
The Prosecution
and Investigation Commission said it had received reports of such "bad"
behaviour by 57 young men at a number of shopping centres in the holy
city of Mecca, the Saudi Gazette said.
The guardians
of some of the men defended their actions, however, saying they would
regularly get together at the weekend to have fun without ever violating
laws governing the segregation of the sexes, it added.
"laws governing
the segregation of the sexes"? What a bunch of weird beard freaks!
I bet that any
of the girls who paid attention to these guys were buried up to their
necks and given a good STONING! Whap! Sick
Our liberal
press will never report that though.
Why don't we
bomb these A-holes into oblivion and take all their oil, and camels? I
would like a nice two humper for casual rides on Sundays, or romantic
rides with my wife.
Bride sues runaway groom
A FILIPINA bride is suing her former fiance
after he ran off with another woman before
the wedding ceremony had even finished.
The couple had nearly finished saying their vows
when a woman appeared at the back of the church
and shouted that the wedding should stop, the
Philippine Star newspaper reported
today.
The groom - who had been about to say "I do'' -
hesitated before walking to the woman and
hugging her, and the pair fled in a taxi, the
newspaper added.
Sounds like the plot to a stupid, sappy
chick-flick.
I hope that no one involved ever procreates.
Ralph Nader is
back! I love it when the irrelevant try to make themselves relevant
again. This announcement can only hurt the Democrats.
Just 1 in 4 Know Heart Attack
Signs
Only
about 1 in 4 Americans know the warning signs of a heart
attack and what to do first, according to a new government
report. That's a decline in knowledge since the last survey
in 2001, which showed nearly 1 in 3 to be well informed.
The
study's lead author, Dr. Jing Fang, called public awareness
in the new survey "alarmingly low." Fang is with the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, which surveyed residents
of 13 states and the District of Columbia.
Heart attack warning signs can include one or more of the
following five symptoms: shortness of breath; pain or
discomfort in the chest; discomfort in the arms or shoulder;
a feeling of weakness or lightheadedness; and discomfort in
the jaw, neck or back.
If
Hillary gets control of our health care system the number of
warning signs will be reduced to one. It will be - you are
laying in a box, being lowered into a six foot deep hole.

'Mandatory' volunteerism? Is it
time yet?
Mandatory
volunteerism??? Let us all raise our shovels and shout together----
OXYMORON!!!!! This is your liberal mind at work, fellow spade swingers.
Just imagine how quickly she would sh*t her pants if she heard the word
"draft"??!!??
The draft, in a
sense, was "mandatory volunteerism" - was it not? I hate libs.
Along with an
end to the botched Iraq war, and a sustainable economic rescue, the idea
that Americans at some point in their lives must do a volunteer stint to
improve the country is worth pursuing.
Huh???
But enforced
community service at this time in American history could bring
immeasurable benefits to the nation's psyche as it grapples with housing
foreclosures, doped-up national sports heroes and serious challenges to
our international image as world leaders.
My head just
exploded, so I can't paste the rest of the article.
Will one of my
doctor Shovelers please come over and put my skull back together??
Swallow a
fistful of valium and click the link if you want to read the rest of

Robber uses weapon that dates back
to Stone Age
A
robber used a unique weapon -- that harkens back to the Stone Age-- in
two West Hartford robberies.
It's a very bizarre armed robbery -- a first for the town of West
Hartford. Surveillance photos show a robber that walked into a Subway
and pulled out a rock. He held it over the clerk demanding cash.
The clerk should have pulled out paper. It beats rock every time.
Police say they are looking for the man and hope to make an arrest soon
because he has now hit the same store twice in a few months.
Maybe Jarred gambled away all of his endorsement money and was needing a
fix.
"If you look at the size of that thing, it's going to split you open --
you are going to take him seriously," Lt. Stephen Estes, of the West
Hartford Police Department, said.
Amber Lynn said the same thing right before she filmed her first scene
with John Holmes.
Have a great weekend! I will see you guys Monday!

Muslim
woman: Wal-Mart cashier said 'Don't stick me up'
SHOVELLINE
-RIVERDALE, Utah -- Wal-Mart Stores
Inc. apologized to a Muslim woman who said she was mocked because of her
face veil.
"Please don't stick
me up," a cashier told the shopper on Feb. 2, according to The Council
on American-Islamic Relations.
The
Muslim woman should have felt like she was being mocked. The
cashier should have said, "Please don't
BLOW
me up."
Wal-Mart apologized
Monday in a letter signed by Rolando Rodriquez, a vice president and
regional general manager. It was released Tuesday by the council's
Nevada chapter
Rodriguez said
employees at the Riverdale store would undergo "sensitivity training,"
specifically in the Islamic faith and Muslim culture.
Sensitivity
training? That sounds like reeducation camp to me.
I think
we should send people
to insensitivity
training! Something to thicken the skins of our nations crybabies.
There are WAY
too many people walking around just looking to be offended. They want to
find something that offends them so they can whine at the top of their
lungs in hopes of getting something for free.
The pee-pee
pants should know that there is nothing in our Constitution that says
you have, "the right not to be offended."
Easily offended
people offend me.
90% of this
country has developed a glass jaw and we need to change that, Whiners
SHUT UP!!!!!!!!
CAGW Names Rep. John
Murtha Porker of the Year
Citizens
Against Government Waste (CAGW) today announced the final results of its
online poll for the 2007 Porker of the Year. Rep. John “Jack” Murtha
(D-Pa.) won in a landslide victory, receiving 63.4 percent of the vote.
A distant second, Rep. Don Young
(R-Alaska) received 10.6 percent, while
Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) came in with 9.9 percent, Rep. James
Clyburn (D-S.C.) had 6.7 percent, and Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.)
and
Rep. James Oberstar (D-Minn.) both finished up with 4.1
percent.
The finalists were chosen by CAGW staff from among the 12 Porker of the
Month winners for 2007.
I want to pass
a law that would make it legal to beat the yearly winner of this award
to death with a shovel.
Spend, spend,
spend. Welcome to your government.
Rep. Jack Murtha
has long been known inside the Beltway for
using threats, power plays, and backroom deals to control spending
decisions. There is an area of the House floor known as “Murtha’s
Corner,” where the legendary appropriator dispenses earmarks. The
overwhelming vote for Porker of the Year vote shows that his shameful
behavior is attracting attention throughout the country.
The congressman inserts pork whenever he can to
serve himself and his district. In
fiscal year 2008, he brought home 72 pork projects worth $149.2 million.
Ham -Jowls Murtha belched, "Pork
spending good, defense spending....not so much."
Police Say New York Woman Stabbed
Man With Kitchen Knife for Calling Her 'Ugly'
A woman in
Westchester County is facing charges that she stabbed a man who said she
was ugly.
This gives new
meaning to the saying - the truth hurts.
Kyeisha Fuller
of Yonkers was awaiting arraignment Wednesday on charges of assault and
weapon possession.

La. House committee debates ethics
SHOVELLINE -BATON ROUGE, La. - The
House's ethics committee on Monday postponed a vote on a bill that would
impose a spending limit on lobbyists, after a lengthy debate over where
to set that limit.
The bill,
backed by Gov. Bobby Jindal, would bar lobbyists from spending over $50
-- excluding tax and tip -- on individual meals with lawmakers and other
elected officials
Rep. Charmaine
Marchand said the limit should be raised to $75. A $50 cap would be 'a
little onerous,' she said, and make it difficult for lobbyists to find
restaurants inexpensive enough to stay under the limit.
'If it's $50, I
think we're going to be eating at Taco Bell,' said Marchand, D-New
Orleans.
WHAP! My God
what an arrogant bitch! Typical Democrat. God forbid she have to eat
where the inferior peons that she taxes the hell out of, and asks to
vote for her eat.
How out of
touch with real life is she that she thinks a $50 meal equals a meal at
Taco Bell? How fat is this trough dwelling hog? I bet her bathtub
doubles as her gravy boat when she eats at home.
Man, I hate
politicians! WHAP! Screw the free meals, they should have to feed
themselves. The only free meals that they should receive should be the
leftovers that their constituents are planning on throwing out!
Buy your own
lunch you mother f****ng, narcissistic BUMS!!!!! Politicians should live
in mortal fear of someone beating them with a shovel if they don't do
right.
Rep. Mert
Smiley disagreed, saying a $50 limit would help erase the public
perception that lobbyists get undue influence over elected officials by
buying them expensive dinners and wines.
Um.... no, you
pud liker. Not dealing with the lobbyists would end the public
perception that they get undue influence with you, pud boy. You are all
a bunch of power mad circus freaks! You can publicly say you have
limited it to $50 on the table, but "the public" knows that it will be
100 times that when the dessert is served under the table.
Thief steals urinal sensor for
Mercedes
A young
mechanic, Wang Chi-sheng, is suspected of stealing a urinal sensor,
which he said he planned to use to modify a Mercedes Benz car.
Wow! That
sounds very inventive. This guy must be a real
WHIZ!
Wang has been
accused of trespassing for entering a closed-down gas station restroom
and stealing the heat sensors used on the urinals. Police escorting Wang
stated that they laughed as they listened to his plan to use the sensors
to test out his latest designs for improving a Mercedes Benz car.
I'm laughing at
the irony that a WANG was arrested for being in a urinal. WHAP!
I think Castro
is dead.
Why aren't you idiots voting for me??!!??? I hope you all die!!

Ex-Homecoming Queen Beats Sister
With Fake Leg In Trailer
SHOVELLINE -NORTH HUNTINGDON, Pa. - A
former homecoming queen is facing a slew of charges Thursday, accused of
attacking her sister with a prosthetic leg and then threatening to burn
down a neighbor's home.
Not long after graduating from Norwin High School,
drama began for Donna Sturkie-Anthony.
The ex-homecoming queen had two DUI convictions in
Allegheny County in 1991. One was in Rankin, where
police said she was so drunk she smeared her feces
in the back of a police car.
Anthony married and moved away in the late 1990s.
But when she returned, she was arrested another half
dozen times by North Huntingdon police, most
recently last month.
Police said Anthony's sister came to visit her at
her Route 30 trailer, and the two started arguing
about her alcohol abuse. Then, police said Anthony
pulled off her sister's prosthetic leg and beat her
with it.
This chick is soooooooo whacked! I wonder if she was
yelling, "Stop kicking yourself, stop kicking
yourself!", while she did it?
A month later, police said, Anthony stole her
neighbor's telephone and then threatened to burn
down their trailer if they testified against her.
In another incident, police said Anthony threw
ground meat at her neighbor before she threatened to
kick his pregnant daughter in the stomach.
"The police, they call for backup when they come up
here to deal with her," said one neighbor who asked
not to be identified. "They know who she is."
Some stories need no comment from me, they make you
laugh just as they are.

U.S. vows to pay for damage
caused by satellite
The United States
pledged on Friday to compensate countries if debris lands on their territory
from a dying U.S. spy satellite that the Pentagon plans to shoot down.
Ambassador
Christina Rocca said that if efforts fail to strike the satellite with a
missile while it is still in space, it was expected to make an "uncontrolled
re-entry into the earth's atmosphere on or about March 6".
The satellite is
carrying more than 1,000 pounds (454 kg) of hydrazine fuel, and could
release much of it as a toxic gas, according to Deputy U.S. National
Security Adviser James Jeffrey.
"Whether the
engagement succeeds or fails, the U.S. is prepared to offer assistance to
governments to mitigate the consequences of any satellite debris impacts on
their territory," Rocca told the Conference on Disarmament.
That is unless it
hits New Orleans, because we all know that President Bush hates black
people. So says the omnipotent, all though irrelevant, Kanye West. WHAP!
Actually, I hope
they miss and the thing slams into Washington, D.C.!
Couple Found Dead In Car In
Garage
A relative
discovered a 23-year-old man dead in the front seat of a car Friday still
embracing a dead 17-year-old girl.
Their nude bodies
were inside a closed garage in the front seat of a 1978 Cutlass. They had
apparently been having sex when they were overcome by carbon monoxide, 12
News reported.
They must have been
exhausted.
The medical
examiner said the deaths appear accidental.
The two were not
found for nearly a day. The man's mother became worried because she could
not reach him on his cell phone Friday morning.
According to the
medical examiner's report, the carbon monoxide levels the garage got so
intense at some point that the car itself choked off for lack of oxygen.
Ya know, fellow
Shovelers, if there were more people like this there would be fewer people
like this.
Darwin has once
again worked his magic.
The teenager with FOUR kidneys
who has promised to donate her extra organs to save lives
A rare
teenage girl with four kidneys has vowed to donate her extra
organs after hearing about the plight of a three-year-old cancer
sufferer.
Laura
Moon, 18, made the startling discovery when she had an
ultrasound at hospital to investigate stomach pains.
But now Laura has got used to the idea she is hoping
that she might be able to do some good with her
unusual condition.
She is investigating the possibility of becoming a
live donor after she heard about Luke Heppenstall
who urgently needs a new kidney after both of his
were removed because of cancer.
Laura said: "I'm not exactly sure how donations work
but I know that I have four kidneys and would like
to help somebody like Luke if possible."
However, if Laura did become a live donor she would
not be allowed to choose the recipient.
Laura, of Whinmoor, Leeds, has two kidneys measuring
14cm and the other two are 9cm according to the
doctor who discovered them.
"The guy just said 'you have got four kidneys'," she
added.
"Then he also asked if I would mind if he took some
photos to show to university students."
After the scan at the Seacroft Hospital Laura told
her mum Catherine and dad Austin - and was even more
surprised that on the same day her auntie
Dawn Fry had learned she had three kidneys too,
although they are not blood relations.
"I think if I've
got four, I don't need all four," added Laura, who
is about to start a job as a customer service
advisor.
"Why not donate if there's someone else in need."
News flash! Guys are lining up offering to
donate an "organ" to her!
How
about a feel good story from Iraq?
Dog
Travels 70 Miles to Find His Marine Best Friend
When Maj. Brian
Dennis first spotted a scruffy German Shepard-Border collie mix at a fort in
Iraq, the dog wasn't interested in making friends. The dog, who lived in the
wild with a pack of canine companions, had already been through a lifetime's
worth of pain and neglect. His ears had been cut off as a puppy, and he had
been trained as a fighting dog. Now that he was finally free of his
tormentors, the dog just wanted to be left alone.
But Dennis saw something special in the dog, which he nicknamed "Nubs,"
because of his missing ears. It took some time, but eventually Dennis had
the dog eating out of his hand. One day, when Nubs showed up one day with a
deep wound in his side, Dennis nursed him back to health. Soon, Dennis and
Nubs were inseparable.
Sadly, Dennis learned that his unit would be forced to relocate to a new
base, and he wasn't allowed to bring Nubs along. As he watched Nubs race
alongside his Hummer as his unit drove away from the fort for the last time,
he was sure that he would never see the dog again.
Man, watching that
dog running, trying to keep up must have been a big shovel shot to his
heart.
But two days |
