Who exactly is benefiting from all this largese? Are we just mortgaging our future so that a few wealthy people/companies/families/gangs, (etc) hold us ransom for money that will never, can never, be paid?

Are we living so ‘high on the hog’ that we can’t afford to contribute meaningfully to our own future well-being?

Studies have shown that the underground ecomonies of drugs, sexual trafficking and bootleg ‘everything’ has grown so much that the money possessed by these crime rings can never be brought to the surface of taxation and social responsibilities.

We are becoming not only indebted to our future but also to criminal activities!

The legalization of everything is coming so that governments, that have robbed from the middle-class and poor for so long, cannot continue to overlook the wealth of drugs and sex, and the possible tax revenues, much longer.

Our future outlook is much worse than anyone can imagine!

Except the $1.00 bill (US) which doesn’t get much love from the nose candy according to the same surveys (less than 40% of one dollar bills have the same trace amounts of drugs).

No word yet on credit/debit cards and travellers checks….

Yes, good enough to raise money in this program

(NB CarBeat) Ford Motor Company reports higher sales for July than expected, points to the “Clunkers for cash” stimulus plan as a “great example” for putting America back to work.

Senator Ringworth (D-Colorado) declares that with each clunker ” a new era of government support once again mortgages future generations for the ill-thinking oil-drunk Americans” and suggests a mandate of 20% minimum electric cars be purchased as part of this “cash for poor people to buy modest gas guzzlers” despite the restricive policy of cars eligible for this program.

However, there are unintended consequences yet to be revealed, such as the percentage guaranteed on cash profits in the ”clunkers for cash” dealer sale and the disposal trail that is yet to be determined for these rust buckets.

Unnamed surces that Oregon will not push for “free fill” for many dangerous and abondoned mines to be filled with shredded steel.

Bringing freedom to two more

(Evl NK) Bill Clinton, former, “almost disgraced” president of America meets with North Korean leaders and offers himself as hostage in trade for two captive journalists.

Kim Il Jong refuses offer and escorts Mr. Clinton off North Korean soil with the two hostages.

America claims victory, lights still off in over 80% of North Korean homes.

Although there is nothing illegal about the children playing outside, Michael Buck now faces felony charges resulting from his scare tactic.

Picture of man and daughter as they show reporter how they saw a UFO

(UFONews) Last week a man and his daughter (anonymity requested) came forward with pictures of themselves staring at a UFO.

No investigation has been launched as the photos turned over to the FBI were only of the pair looking up into the sky.

No other reports of UFO sightings were in the Tulsa area during that time period and criminal charges may be laid in connection with filing a false police report.

Burglar pictured seconds before spray painting the camera

(SNews) A clever burglar wa sapprehended as he made a common mistake… facing the security camera without a mask on seconds before he spray paints the lens to avoid detection… WHOOPS!

While it did take local police two days to track the man down, and his accomplices, it wasn’t until shown the evidence against him that the man, still unnamed at press time, confessed to the crime. He is facing multiple charges stemming from the arrest and is now free on a $500.00 bond pending trial.

Justice sure is swift! More photos here.

It seems that the homeless man (name unavailable) was turning in more than 40lbs of flattened pennies retrieved from alongside railroad tracks, and when the clerk at the metal recycling shop realized what the medal was and the police were called.

“There was no arrest” said Sgt. Flaherty, spokesman for Midtown PD “but the appropriate authorities were called before that decision was made”. An insider, that wished to remain anonymous, reported that the FBI and Treasury agents were also called in, as the copper was “currency, despite it’s present condition” and destruction is outlined as a crime in the federal statutes concerning currency.

A consumer advocacy group, unnamed at press time, released this statement “Apparently Comcast is issuing extra service charges to the home owner and hopes to recoup last quarter’s loss of revenue from the homeowner’s insurance. We find this unconscionable and an act that speaks for itself in this dog-eat-dog business world of today.”
The statement continued on for some 12 pages explaining the current global economic crisis as a plan to keep people home and watch more TV.

Denver Boot

When the boot is placed on a vehicle “A large orange poster is stuck to the vehicle’s windscreen to notify the driver that the vehicle has been ‘booted’ ” says Officer McLure, “so it’s unreasonable to expect anyone to still attempt to move their vehicle when booted”.

The state bar is also expected to investigate “possible criminal activity” since the damage to the “boot” caused when the unnamed lawyer attempted to drive away could be charged as “criminal mischief causing felony damage to state property”.
