The Breakfast Club - June 24, 2010

Saw the best bumper sticker I've seem in a long time yesterday...."Give War A Chance".
---
Online headline: "Al Gore Accused of 'Unwanted Sexual Contact' in 2006" -- Ooops, my bad! Figured this was about Tipper's first thoughts of divorce.
---
Online story: "Harry Potter fanatic Jeff Guillaume said he was "quite disappointed" after park officials turned him away from the (Harry Potter) Hogwarts-touring attraction because his 5-foot, 8-inch, 265-pound frame was deemed too large for the ride's safety harnesses." -- At 5'8", his frame is not part of his 265 lb problem. What does the man expect...that a safety harness should accommodate his problem yet be able to shrink small enough to allow a 125 lb teen to be strapped in safely, too? Get a life buddy! You at 5'8" and 265 pounds and me at 6'6" are going to have to adjust to the world whether it be park rides or automobiles or airplane seating.

Online story: "NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- More than 1,200 prison inmates, including 241 serving life sentences, defrauded the government of $9.1 million in tax credits reserved for first-time homebuyers, according to a Treasury Department report released Wednesday." -- This is a program designed by the same people who are trying to force HELL-thScare down our throats (I'm being polite, 'they' are really trying to force "it" up our arses).
---
L-E headline: "Central YMCA comes down" -- Question: Why was an out-of-town company hired for the demolition?
---
L-E headline: "Obama says change in command will not affect American war policy" -- (wink, wink)
---
Online story: "A new Canadian study shows that gay men use more of their brains than straight men. -- Hmmm, bet this was funded by a crack socialized medical research team.---
Online headline: "Meet the Worst U.S. Baseball Giveaway ... EVER" -- Ooops, my bad; thought the White Sox were giving away autographed POTus Nero-bama pictures throwing out the first pitch.
---
Online headline: "Judge Who Nixed Drilling Ban Had Oil Investments" -- Don't we all in some form or another, and the US economy/budget has a tremendous investment in our oil businesses...
---
Online headline: "Van der Sloot's Mother Claims He's Mentally Ill" -- DOH! Probably inherited, too!
---
Online headline: "Mexico Joins Fight Against Ariz. Immigration Law" --Doesn't this just add the exclamation point to why Arizona needs their new law?
---
A fellow BCer responded to a yesterday comment: "I think you missed a good one in the happy meal lawsuit. The toy made me buy a happy meal?What ever happened to parents just saying no to their children?" -- Hmmm...I didn't include the 'toy' because the last time I bought a Happy Meal for the toy, the toy was not edible, thus non-contributing to my obesity. q'-)
---
L-E "soundoff": "In what other city would a city employee refuse to answer questions from his boss, the city manager, regarding expenditure of city funds in his city department and still keep his city job? " -- Amen!
---
Another "soundoff": " I can see the billboards now: “Move over Mike Slocumb and Ken Nugent.” We’ll soon have a new billboard: “Stacey Jackson, the official lawyer for parks and recreation.” -- heh heh heh
---
From the "confusing headlines of the L-E" department: "Man accused of killing wife gets $500,000 bond " -- Is that a Savings or Municipal bond, and do real good, AAA+ wives have a higher bond value?
---
L-E headline: "Court agrees to pay Gary’s DNA expert " -- Well, then let "the court" pay it rather than siphoning out of taxpayer pockets!
---
Hope the Parks & Rec investigation includes delving into the old and new 501 (c) 3 foundations created and staffed by P&R personnel. With what has been revealed so far, a foundation created to solicit grants reeks of impropriety.
---
From a L-E letter writer: "If Davis Broadcasting can get the Civic Center and take the event (Family Day in the Park) inside, the attendance I think will go back up to 15,000 to 20,000 or more." -- Obviously a DIM/DUMBorat supporter demonstrating, once again, that even 'free' loses it's drawing appeal to those who have come to expect things 'free'. Wonder if the writer was one of the 6K that showed up or one of the 15K who didn't? Besides, if the Civic Center could get 20,000 people in it, the Civic Center could attract major entertainment acts....
---
L-E headline: "New home sales down without aid " -- Of course, new home sales were 'up' because of prison inmates buying houses and collecting the $8,000.00 'credits'. Now, the housing market will have to redigest those houses as they come back on the market as 'repos'.
---
L-E headline: "Fed strikes more cautious tone on U.S. recovery" -- Reversing the Fed non-cautious strikes AT the US economy?
