Jackals Bus Driver Recovering

The Jackals bus driver’s condition is improving.  I was feeling bad about making a joke, at the expense of the driver, well not bad-bad, just uncomfortable bad.  Glad to hear he is doing better.

Hold on, I’ll tell you later.

Dresser Rand Union Workers Waits For Call Back

Dresser Rand workers are told to stay by their phones Friday.

Too funny, I can picture these people sitting in their laz-ee-boys, hands hovering over the phone, waiting for the second ring and then pissed when it is their buddy asking them if they got the call yet.

I think she prefers calling them ‘compulsory supporters‘.

I know i am probably going directly to hell for even thinking this, but the only thing I can think about is the reichstag fire.

Bada, Bing, Rimshot, Try the veal, I’ll be here all week..

Johnson City Assistant Fire Chief Shows Up to Work Naked, Facing Charges

Kenneth Roe says he was celebrating 20 years on the job when he showed up to work with just his hat and tie on.  What I want to know is, was he handling his hose at the time?

RON PAUL: He’s just terrible, even when — which is often, once he’s off the subject of the war — I agree with him. His voice is too high, he can’t remember who the Kurds are, and he often comes off like a crazy old man in a bus station.

But that’s good news, in a way. Paul’s doing better than anyone expected. It’s abundantly clear that he’s not doing it on charisma and rhetorical skill. Which means that libertarian ideas are actually appealing, since Ron Paul isn’t. Paul’s flaws as a vessel for those ideas prove the ideas’ appeal. If they sell with him as the pitchman, they must be really resonating. I suspect Paul himself would agree with this analysis. Er, except maybe the bus station part.

Another 100 years or so, and we ought to have a libertarian candidate win something.

Sale Price Set For Historic Elmira Church

Asking price for First Baptist Church is $325,000.  Now, is that $325,000.00 with the associated tax free status?  Or does the new owner then get saddleed with taxes also?

Do we really want to bring back this soap opera for 4 more years?

Patrick Healy of the New York Times reported that Bill Clinton is telling people on the campaign trail that he opposed the war in Iraq “from the beginning.”

Of course that’s not the truth.

CNN reported on June 23, 2004:

Former President Clinton has revealed that he continues to support President Bush’s decision to go to war in Iraq but chastised the administration over the abuses at Abu Ghraib prison.

“I have repeatedly defended President Bush against the left on Iraq, even though I think he should have waited until the U.N. inspections were over,” Clinton said in a Time magazine interview that will hit newsstands Monday, a day before the publication of his book “My Life.”

My point is not about Hillary trying to renege on her authorization of this war. My point is
