			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(BBanks) If the economy is so bad, and governments are propping up economies with greater debt loads, where is all the money going?</p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>Are we living so &#8216;high on the hog&#8217; that we can&#8217;t afford to contribute meaningfully to our own future well-being?</p>
<p>Studies have shown that the underground ecomonies of drugs, sexual trafficking and bootleg &#8216;everything&#8217; has grown so much that the money possessed by these crime rings can never be brought to the surface of taxation and social responsibilities.</p>
<p>We are becoming not only indebted to our future but also to criminal activities!</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Our future outlook is much worse than anyone can imagine!</p>

<p>(NB CarBeat) Ford Motor Company reports higher sales for July than expected, points to the &#8220;Clunkers for cash&#8221; stimulus plan as a &#8220;great example&#8221; for putting America back to work.</p>
<p>Senator Ringworth (D-Colorado) declares that with each clunker &#8221; a new era of government support once again mortgages future generations for the ill-thinking oil-drunk Americans&#8221; and suggests a mandate of 20% minimum electric cars be purchased as part of this &#8220;cash for poor people to buy modest gas guzzlers&#8221; despite the restricive policy of cars eligible for this program.</p>
<p>However, there are unintended consequences yet to be revealed, such as the percentage guaranteed on cash profits in the &#8221;clunkers for cash&#8221; dealer sale and the disposal trail that is yet to be determined for these rust buckets.</p>
<p>Unnamed surces that Oregon will not push for &#8220;free fill&#8221; for many dangerous and abondoned mines to be filled with shredded steel.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(WNnews) Maybe as many as one million customers in the US and Canada were double-billed for credit and debit purchases over the American long weekend.</p>
<p>Starbucks has been working to credit all customers and reportedly apologizes for the error not coming to light <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">later</span> earlier.</p>
<p>Well, it was a winning submission in the company&#8217;s &#8220;How to increase sales&#8221; contest for employees. No reports as to what the prize winner received although we think it might be as much as 5 years in prison.</p>

This would allow a few larger banks to buy up hundreds, if not thousands, of small state banks to be &#8220;gobbled up&#8221; and merged with larger banks.<br />
&#8220;This could be a good thing&#8221; says Bernacker, the chief of some large administration overlord outfit, &#8220;but we will have to see who pays what to whom&#8230; before this is all sorted out&#8221; he was quoted as saying.<br />
iaoNEWS.com financial banking specialists report that mergers are the only way for the US banking system to get a firm grip on the current recession now that no furhter bailout money will be<br />
made available.</p>

Reputed to be a special ingredient mix that includes whole wheat flour and aspertame sugar substitute, the round sweetener-topped donut may be appearing soon in 4 flavors: glazed, cranberry, raspberry and lemon. &#8220;Test groups have been giving mixed reviews of the product line, but we are sure we have a winner&#8221; stated the anonymous source.</p>

Mr. Sevensten, a boat show representative stated &#8220;This was a totally freak accident and had nothing whatsoever to do with the poor choice of location as many have suggested.&#8221; It should be noted that there were several protesters on hand at the start of this year&#8217;s boat show condemning local government for allowing the show to go on in an old-growth forest, more than 150 miles from the ocean. &#8220;We had nothing to do with the accident&#8221; said Murray Walter, spokesman for &#8216;Old Growth Tree Supporters&#8217; or &#8216;OGTS&#8217;, &#8220;but nature does have a voice of it&#8217;s own, one way or another&#8221;. The trapped lady was freed after 20 minutes of being pinned down by the errant boat trailer. It was later revealed that she was a member of the protest group and had chained herself to the boat trailer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><div id="attachment_45" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 252px"><img src="http://iaonews.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/blockbuster_suit.jpg" alt="Blockbuster" title="blockbuster" width="242" height="261" class="size-full wp-image-45" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Blockbuster</p></div>(ITP) &#8211; A local Blockbuster store, it&#8217;s franchise owner and several employees were served with a lawsuit today asking for unspecified damages in a case involving identity theft, libel and harassment. The lawyer for Mrs. Vanessa Williams, Mr. Wilfred Laurier, Esq., has stated that the suit is centered on unauthorized movie and game rentals on his clients account, identity theft of his clients Blockbuster membership account and harassment of his client by the staff of the Blockbuster franchisee. &#8220;It all started when someone used my client&#8217;s phone number to impersonate her and to access her Blockbuster rental account without authorization and rent games and movies,&#8221; said Mr. Laurier. &#8220;These items were never returned by the person or persons committing the fraud, at which time the Blockbuster staff then began a campaign of harassment against my client for unpaid, overdue and missing items which culminated in a collection agency going to small claims court against my client for the money owed for these same missing items.&#8221; Mr. Laurier contends that Blockbuster is wholly responsible for allowing a system the invites abuse and fraud and they should have, in no way, been allowed to continually attempt to retrieve the fraudulently obtained items from his client, who did not have them and never had possession of them. &#8220;If you can walk into a Blockbuster Video Store and rent anything by simply giving the staff a phone number, then they should ultimately be responsible for the items return since they have not, in actuality, verified the identity of the renter.&#8221; Mr. Laurier is asking for an unspecified dollar amount in damages for harm done to his client&#8217;s reputation, for stress-related ailments suffered by his client, and he may seek class-action lawsuit status if he discovers more individuals that have been financially and emotionally harmed by the actions of Blockbuster Video over missing rental items.</p>
