You mean wars cost the Army more money than peacetime? Somebody get the Pentagon on the line -quick!
Yeah.....it don't get no dumber than that.
I must congratulate Charlie for not sucumbing to brain damage from scanning headlines like that constantly - I tend to get numb after the first two or three.....

Every-so-often I have episodes like Vincent has had, but this takes the cake:
AOL virtually refuses to cancel man's account
One man's attempt to cancel his America Online account is reverberating across the U.S. and world after the customer recorded the conversation and then posted it on his blog.
Vincent Ferrari tried to end his membership with AOL, but dealt with a company representative who apparently did not want to lose his business.
Read the whole thing - it is quite honestly something you'd see in a Monty Python comedy sketch. It's almost like being assimilated by the Borg.
It makes me glad that I never, ever signed up for AOL.
To be honest, I did sign up for Compuserve years ago, but when they sucked $100+ out of my checking account because the connection number was an older 800 number that charged me basically $1 per minute, I learned to stay away from big companies like them.
And I only recently got away from dial-up service with my credit union.

Comments on We Are AOL - You Will Be Assimilated
I had to close out my checking account and open a new one. I only used it because it was preloaded on my machine and could not be removed. Also, I could not add any other email program!!
Here's one small snippet from the interview that basically 'says it all':
How would you rate Bush’s performance on 1) the war in Iraq, 2) immigration, 3) social issues (gay marriage, abortion, etc.)?
1) The war: At a time when many of the West’s leaders are racing to capitulate thousands of years of industrial and intellectual development to the worst medieval lunatics on earth, Bush has had the guts to finally DO something. But I guess supporters are just tired of having to do all the talking for him. That’s what is so infuriating. Even with a world press that essentially hates free enterprise, we should be able to get far better ink than we do. Hamas gets better press than the 82nd Airborne. That’s as much the State Department’s fault as it is Paul Krugman’s or LeMonde.
Let's be fair here. I'm sure that the State Dept. puts out reems of info to inform the public but of course the federal gov. doesn't maintain a media outlet. Well....there's PBS but we know where THEY stand. Anyway, this info along with the accomplishments in Iraq and Afghanistan provided by the DOD and others must be filtered throught the MSM and most probably ends up in the trash. I would suspect the the MSM looks as any good news or policy statements(regardless of the the truth and logic) as propaganda and want nothing to do with it. The only way these people will ever believe it or reference it is if Thomas Friedman or Bob Woodward write a book about it.
The Chicks can't hide their disgust at the lack of support they received from other country performers. "A lot of artists cashed in on being against what we said or what we stood for because that was promoting their career, which was a horrible thing to do," says Robison.
"A lot of pandering started going on, and you'd see soldiers and the American flag in every video. It became a sickening display of ultra-patriotism."
But what is really amazing (since stupid is a bit harsh) is this:
"The entire country may disagree with me, but I don't understand the necessity for patriotism," Maines resumes, through gritted teeth. "Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why? You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country… I don't see why people care about patriotism."
I guess it'll take a clue in Aisle Four to get them to maybe grasp why it is that their fans turned on them......duh.
This qualifies as a 'Launching a Butt Monkey'.....
And I'm still standing by my prediction that the sisters - Emily Robison and Martie Maguire - will wake up one morning, smell the coffee, and throw Natalie out of the band saying that 'she never spoke for us'.....wait for it.

Hey Mad One! How are things going? I've been lurking for awhile, but I've avoided leaving comments because my mother told me that if I had nothing nice to say ...
but about these Chicks... from the link you posted...
"There can be no rational explanation of how Maines's remark came to drive a red-hot poker into America's divided soul..."
Love it... 'no rational explanation'... :)
The chicks don't need their old fans... and they aren't going to break up, either. Have you listened to the album? It shore aint no cuntry muzik, thet's fer shore.
Sounds like they've said, "asta la vista, rednecks."
Well, I'm not afraid to come right out and say it. Natalie must be dumber than a pot plant. Or else, she's a really clever pacifist, with this stuff about being anti-nationalism. No, I vote for stupid.
Wow, that is truly amazing. She doesn't understand patriotism?
Agree or disagree with the war, the administration, border policy or state's rights, but how can you live here and not at least understand patriotism.
I've spoken about possibly leaving this country because of what it is becoming - a socialist state. But I'll always be an American, and will never renounce my citizenship, because I'll always believe in what American once was, and what it still can be. I just don't know if it will be "it" again in my lifetime.
As Tropical Storm Alberto threatened to strengthen into the ninth hurricane in 22 months to affect Florida, former President Clinton predicted Monday that Republican environmental policies will lead to more severe storms.
"It is now generally recognized that while Al Gore and I were ridiculed, we were right about global warming," Clinton said at a fundraiser for the Florida Democratic Party. "It's a serious problem. It's going to lead to more hurricanes."
Gore's documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," chronicles the former vice president's efforts to educate the public about global warming. It's in limited release around the country.
In his critique of the GOP, Clinton also touched on the war in Iraq, the rising federal deficit and high health care costs. The crowd of about 500 greeted him with loud applause and shouts of "We love you, Bill!" and "Four more years!"
Jeff Sadosky, spokesman for the state Republican Party, decried Clinton's rhetoric. "Bill Clinton's class warfare and race-baiting message gets us no closer to solutions for the issues he brings up," he said.
That's it Bill......the GOP is responsible for hundreds of years of increased warming on a global scale. Hmm....you might want to see if there's a guarentee on that Oxford education you got cause it would seem that you're quoting a phone book.
But the interesting part of this article is this:
Sadosky referred in part to Clinton's comments earlier this month in Arizona. At that event, Clinton characterized Republican Party leaders as right-wing, white Southerners.
Wouldn't that be considered 'hate speech' by Clinton's standards?

Hey Sweetness...
Totally off-topic, buuut...
Did you send me an email a few days ago asking for Pixy's email address?
I answered ya right away, then a few days later, I got some weird email saying that my email to you hadn't been deliverd yet, yadda, yadda... and all I cared about was you not thinking I'd ignored ya.
Then, I got a coupla other odd emails in the same vein about other shit and started wondering if you'd even sent the first email and...
blugh...
Just thought I'd check with you.
AND, Paul (Light and Dark) has my Mozilla shit set so that when my info to post comments isn't "remembered", all I hafta do is double-click on the first two lines and it automatically fills it in.
I have to do the URL myself... I forget exactly why.
Anyway... when I just went to post this comment, I had to do the double-click thing to fill in my info EXCEPT...
for some reason it filled in "Acidman" for my name and his new email address for mine.
Now, yeah, I do love the guy and have been accused by people in my house of being him with boobs, but... daaaamn.
To have my pooter start filling in shit like this with his name...
I'mina hafta call Paul ASAP, me thinks.
Although I'm only taking one class this quarter (at the insistance of my wife), it's time to prepare for the final exam.
The class is 'Linear Control System Theory' and the final exam is next Friday morning which means that I've got just under a week to prepare.
The nice part of preparing is that the professor is aware of what has happened to me in the last few months and that my taking his class was risky.
And why am I mentioning this?
Well, after the final class yesterday morning, the prof walked up to me and asked how was I doing in the class and if I was ready for the final exam.
I told him that while I had more-or-less retained the subject matter from the last time I took the class (last spring), I was having trouble with the material covered in the last few weeks......so much that it would be like tossing my daughter into an electronics class with no preperation. I have been reading and re-reading the chapters in the book, hoping that while staring and working the problem sets that all-of-a-sudden: click!, it would suddenly make sense. And it has.....to a small extent.
The prof told me that if I didn't feel prepared for the final exam that he'd prefer that I take an incomplete in the class and take an oral final (please, save the jokes - I've thought of them all) in the fall.
I knew that I shouldn't make a decision right then-and-there, and I told the prof that while I still have a week to prepare for the final that I'd let him know the morning of the final exam; if I felt ready, I'd walk in and take it - if I didn't feel prepared, I'd let him know and arrange to take an oral examination from him in the fall.
So.....I've got about a week to determine if I'm capable of taking the final exam. The final will cover root locus - mainly sketching a root locus drawing for a given feedback system and frequency response stuff which is what I'm shaky on.
So this week I'll be pounding this stuff into my brain and I'll see how I'm feeling come next Friday morning.

I know that 'stereotyping' is a B-A-D thing to do, but incidents like this seem to keep occuring more and more. And more and more they're perpetrated by the 'prograssive-thinking' people that work for Democrats:
Republican U.S. Rep. Marilyn Musgrave's re-election campaign was already heated, and it just got smelly as well: Her staff accused a Democratic activist Thursday of leaving an envelope full of dog feces at Musgrave's Greeley office.
Musgrave spokesman Shaun Kenney said someone stuffed the envelope through the mail slot in the door on May 31 and then sped away in a car. Kenney said most of the preprinted return address was blacked out, but staffers used the nine-digit ZIP code to trace it to Kathleen Ensz, a Weld County Democratic volunteer.
Ensz told The Associated Press she left the envelope at Musgrave's office but said it "wasn't in the office doors, it was in the foyer." Asked what she meant by the act, she declined comment.
Michelle Malkin has a lot more on this.....progressive woman that delivered the letter.

Comments on Democratic Crap
Mikey,
It is posts like these that make me cringe. While we do get along with one another now, I must shake a finger at you over the source of your story - Michele Malkin, come on. I mean, her and the likes of her (Limbaugh, Savage, etc.) pull these ridiculous stories out of their asses everytime one of the conservative/gop/bush champions open their suck holes and make really stupid comments (ala Der Coulter on her inhumane comments about the 9-11 widows). Doesn't this redirection and smoke and mirrors tactics of these pigs ever get old? You are a smart dude Mikey. I would hope that you can see past the illusions of the likes of these people when they pull this garbage.
Seriously, one prank pulled by some stupid assed college kid, and the whole left wing is bad because of this? And how do we know the GOP themselves didn't stage this? I wouldn't put it past them to dot his since the entire GOP is in shambles right now and you have your champions running around talking more out of their assholes then ever.
Michelle was just the link to the story - the link I provided comes straight from Breitbart.com.
And yes, I know that one story isn't indicative of the entire Democratic party - but seriously.....if this had been reported coming from a Republican operative, you know that it would be all over the blogsphere - especially the Left ones.
The reason I posted it is that it seems more often than not that this happens with the same players - tires being slashed, poop being delivered, political staffers being punched in the face. Granted - most of that happened last fall during the run-up to the election, but it still happened.
It happens on both sides dude. And it is nothing new. It just gets covered more by each sides opposition. My argument isn't even the weight you give to the source but the fact that these types of stories always seem to come out every time one of your champions makes a total ass of themselves. Say what you will about the left, but they rarley ever try to divert the attention away from their mistakes. Clinton may have lied, but his administration never tried to turn the attention away from what was going on.
I meann, look how piss poor this administration is doing and all of a sudden they seem to "find" and kill zarqawi? Puhleease. They knew every step he made as they know every step Bin Laden makes and they will strike when they need to in order to boost the opinion of themselves. And the sheep take the bait every time. All of a sudden the opinion polls on the war went up. So they killed a fugutive who is nothing more than a symbol, has no tactical or strategical bearing on the war.
I don't like the GOP for a lot of reasons, but when I was a repuglican, as slimey as their tactics were back then, they never went so low as they do today. Malkin, Coulter, Savage, Limbaugh are worse than Nazis as far as I am concerned.

In a rare case of officer dissent, a Fort Lewis Army lieutenant has refused orders to head out to Iraq this month to lead troops in what he believes is an illegal war of occupation.
1st Lt. Ehren Watada was scheduled to make his first deployment to Iraq this month. His refusal to accompany the Stryker brigade troops puts him at risk of court martial and years of prison time.
"I feel that we have been lied to and betrayed by this administration," Watada said Tuesday in a telephone interview from Fort Lewis. "It is the duty, the obligation of every soldier, and specifically the officers, to evaluate the legality, the truth behind every order -- including the order to go to war."
In making his decision, Watada has reached out to peace groups, including clergy, students, some veterans opposed to Iraq and others. Some war critics are raising money for his legal defense as they seek to galvanize broader opposition to Bush administration policy in Iraq.
Smash and I were talking about this clown this past weekend and we both agreed that this guy knew exactly what he was getting into when he accepted his commission. To 'suddenly' have second-thoughts (to me) shows that he doesn't have the capability to think ahead or think-on-his-feet. Not a really good quality in being an officer.
To me, he's being just Four-kinds-of-stupid™ and in his 'reaching out to peace-groups', he's well on his way to becoming another tool - just like SWWNBN and Pablo "Patooey" Paredes.
It'll take months before anything happens to this officer, but I do know that he's gonna hate being busted to E-1 and being thrown in the stockade.
Hey pal - it'll suck to be you, but you know what you're getting into.....

Comments on 'Brave' Officer?
Hmm. Your perspective is interesting.
He joined the Army knowing full well he would likely be sent to Iraq. When he enlisted, he did it because he believed, as did most Americans, that Iraq had WMD.
We now know that this was fabricated by the administration, as were most of the other reasons laid out as justification for the invasion.
We all know that if Bush had said, "We're invading Iraq to force a democracy upon them" that they would not have had the public support needed to prosecute the war. This was supposed to be about fighting Radical Islam, not participating in Nation Building - which is all we are doing.
How is it not honorable to say that you won't fight in a war that was based upon lies? Where do you draw the line where, "I was just following orders" is not a justifiable defense?
We now know that this was fabricated by the administration, as were most of the other reasons laid out as justification for the invasion.
Ahem.....that's a personal perspective and I'd rather not beat that dead horse again here.
How is it not honorable to say that you won't fight in a war that was based upon lies? Where do you draw the line where, "I was just following orders" is not a justifiable defense?
What?
It's not a question of whether the war is legal or not - it isn't up to each member of the military to debate this. Their job is to follow orders dictated by the civilian government. Period.
And what is this stuff about 'following orders'? That makes no sense.....at least in the topic at hand.
There are PLENTY of things about the military that I don't agree with, but I have to go along with them. He's just being a loser and a coward and a loser-coward.
Mikey: It is not my personal perspective. The admin has stated there were never any WMD, thus no threat was posed. When an administration states, "We know the WMD are here, here and here", or other similar such statements, and that proves to be wrong, is that not lying? They didn't say, "We're making a wild-ass guess that he still has WMD", he said we KNEW what he had, and where it was.
The WHOLE THING is about refusing to follow orders. He is refusing an order to deploy because he feels the war was engaged under false pretenses. He was ready to fight, and proved that by signing up.
Dave: I'd like to know some of the things you disagree with. Do any of them involve killing people? That's this guy's disagreement.
And I'll pose the question again:
How is it not honorable to say that you won't fight in a war that was based upon lies? Where do you draw the line where, "I was just following orders" is not a justifiable defense?
The WHOLE THING is about refusing to follow orders. He is refusing an order to deploy because he feels the war was engaged under false pretenses. He was ready to fight, and proved that by signing up.
I agree with your first point Mike S. Lt Peacenik is refusing orders. Lawful orders at that.
Soldiers dont get to choose which orders they will follow, they dont get to second guess the chain of command, and they dont get to choose which battlefields they will fight on. If he didnt know that when he signed up, he definately knew it by the time he accepted his commision.
Everything else you have to say is softer than puppy sh*t.
I think he did the most honorable thing of his life, ie: flush his life and career down the toilet over here instead of over ther with men under his command. The opinion of this L/Cpl is he should have just took the gas pipe and saved us all this drama.
I hate to admit this, but I didn't get a chance to vote yesterday - too many things happening and I wasn't (and still aren't) feeling so great as the dialysis process has 'improved' with a higher filtration rate; more garbage pulled out means that I'm 'feeling' it more.
But that's okay - the main issues that I was wanting to vote on got killed:
Prop 82 took a spectacular beating - over 60% said 'I don't think so Tim!'
'Maybe we'll start hearing about 'voting irregularities' that caused these lame props to fail....I'd actually be surprised if there weren't any people whining about them.
And want-do-you-know? Brian Bilbray beat Francine "You don't need no stinking papers!" Busby. Damn....I hate it when that happens.
Elite special forces troops being dropped behind enemy lines on covert missions are to ditch their traditional parachutes in favour of strap-on stealth wings.
The lightweight carbon fibre mono-wings will allow them to jump from high altitudes and then glide 120 miles or more before landing - making them almost impossible to spot, as their aircraft can avoid flying anywhere near the target.
The technology was demonstrated in spectacular fashion three years ago when Austrian daredevil Felix Baumgartner - a pioneer of freefall gliding - famously 'flew' across the English Channel, leaping out of an aircraft 30,000ft above Dover and landing safely near Calais 12 minutes later.
Wearing an aerodynamic suit, and with a 6ft wide wing strapped to his back, he soared across the sea at 220mph, moving six feet forward through the air for every one foot he fell vertically - and opened his parachute 1,000ft above the ground before landing safely.
1944 - In Operation Overlord, Allied invasion fleet (over 2700 ships and craft) land troops on Normandy beaches, the largest amphibious landing in history
This event marked the 'beginning of the end' of Nazi Germany's domination of the continent of Europe.
Following the liberation of all occupied countries, the people poured out onto the streets to greet, kiss, and hug the Americans as they pushed on to finish the war that was started years before.
The sad part?
The sad part is that while there are some that remember it was the United States that applied force and liberated them, it would seem that most people in Europe would just as soon forget that America played a significant part in their lives today.
UPDATE: Citizen Smash reminds us of another significant event in history that happened on June 4, 1943: the Battle of Midway.
In a spread of three days, the Japanese were handed their asses to them on a plate by the United States Navy with the sinking of four aircraft carriers - it changed the landscape of the war in the Pacific and I feel quite the fool for forgetting such a turning point in World War II.
Charlie over at OPFOR reminds us of a significant event that happened right before I was born - the Six Day War on 1973.
The war changed the 'landscape' of the Middle East - so much that the Palestinians are still whining about the 'stolen land' and it's probably the one war/event that most Middle Eastern nations still won't really acknowledge to this day.
The law firm of Lively, Ackerman & Cowles has sued California's Jurupa Unified School District for silencing a student who attempted to speak out on the issue of illegal immigration in a peaceful way.
Riverside, CA (PRWEB) June 5, 2006 -- The public interest firm of Lively, Ackerman & Cowles (www.LivelyAckerman.com) filed suit on behalf of Jurupa Valley High School student Joshua Denhalter late last week. The First Amendment suit alleges that the public high school has intentionally interfered with his right to speak out on the issue of illegal immigration. Case Number RIC450811 was filed in Riverside County Superior Court.
Mr. Denhalter alleges that on March 27, 2006, dozens of high school students, mostly of Mexican-American descent, illegally walked out of school in protest of legislation that was being proposed by the U.S. Congress (HR4437) concerning illegal immigration. He was not one of these students and chose to act lawfully.
Instead of illegally walking out of school and being truant, Denhalter chose to organize a legitimate and lawful counter-protest/assembly during the lunch hour on or about March 30, 2006. The peaceable assembly was to take place across from the school on a public sidewalk (i.e., a traditional public forum).
The peaceable assembly would not have disrupted school activities because Jurupa Valley High School has an "open lunch" period. This means that students are free to come and go during this time. As such, any student could have "walked out" during the lunch to attend the assembly and there would be no disruption or violation of truancy laws.
On the morning of March 30, 2006, Denhalter began handing out flyers for his event. That same morning, around 7:30 AM, he was approached by school officials and told that he could not hand out flyers advertising his First Amendment protected activities. He refused to give up his right to pass out handbills/flyers. As a result of his refusal to give up his constitutional rights, Denhalter was suspended for "handing out flyers (before school) advocating the disruption of school activities". However, the school did not punish the dozens of students who walked out in violation of the law several days before.
Furthermore, between March 27 and March 30, 2006, the school allowed MECHA to sponsor an on-campus rally in opposition to HR4437. Denhalter asked for permission to sponsor a similar counter-rally on campus but was flatly denied by the school district's board.
Finally, just the week before filing of this complaint, on May 25, 2006, the school prohibited Denhalter from wearing a "Save Our State" t-shirt by telling him that he needed to turn the shirt inside out and not ever wear it again. The content of the political speech set forth on the shirt was the sole basis for this censorship and prior restraint of Denhalter’s rights. He seeks a restraining order allowing him to express himself freely as to political matters until the end of the school year (i.e., June 21, 2006).
Yeah, nothing like teaching kids that here in the United States we're all free to speak our minds....unless you're going against the craze du jour.
Oh and gee.....Jurupa High School has it's own chapter of MeChA. It's so nice to see that the school isn't promoting racial bias with it's students.
If you'd like to send them a note of congratulations telling them what hypocrites they are, here's some contact information:

Following threats by extremist Islamic group, several corporations, chain of pubs ban England flag
Following warnings by extremist Islamic group al-Muhajiroun, in which the group said that the red cross in the England flag symbolizes the 'blood thirsty crusaders' and the occupation of Muslims, some of the largest companies in England have ordered their workers not to wave the flags.
The flag has recently appeared in England on everything from bikinis to cars, and sold in endless versions in stores.
But the Islamic protest forced some corporations, such as cable companies NTL, Heathrow airport in London, and even the Drivers and Vehicles Licensing Agency to ban the flag in every form due to fears from reactions of Muslims.
The Sun tabloid newspaper has in recent days launched a campaign to bring back the flag, and has published a blacklist of companies preventing their workers from expressing their patriotism at work.
The Sun said that a large pub network has banned drinkers from entering with symbols of the national team.
The hero of the day is a two year-old toddler, who was thrown out with his parents from Leicester, because he wore the England team's uniform.
Jeez....how long until we start seeing this crap here in the United States?
Believe it or not, I had virually forgotten that the June primary is next Tuesday and California voters are supposed to vote on two different propositions.
Prop 81 - California Reading and Literacy Improvement and Public Library Construction and Renovation Bond Act of 2006.
Prop 82 - Preschool Education. Tax on Incomes Over $400,000 for Individuals; $800,000 for Couples. Initiative Constitutional Amendment and Statute.
(The actual propositions can be found on the Secretary of State of California website through the link above)
To be honest, I haven't really researched either proposition but I do know that I'll be voting NO on both of them.
Why?
Prop 81 is basically yet another bond initiative to pay for libraries in California that were supposed to have been funded at least two different times in the last 20 years. Sorry - 1.2 billion (the total cost of the bonds including interest) isn't in the forcast for California.....especially when we're paying for such insane things like medical insurance for illegal aliens.
Prop 82 is another pie-in-the-sky program that Hollywood director Rob Reiner dreamed up that proports to help children better prepare for their future by getting them into pre-school and it'll be paid for by taxing people who make over $400 thousand a year.
Can someone tell me - in an intelligent manner - why people like Reiner think that it's okay to tax the living crap out of people that make what some might call 'insanely high income'? Just because someone (or a couple) make more than the average bear doesn't mean that they're 'perfect' to be taxed; I cannot seem to get that one through my head....unless I smack myself in the head with a ball-peened hammer. Honestly, taxing the 'rich' because they're 'rich' isn't what I'd call progressive.......it's more like punative or retarded.
So - we've got another bond issue that depend upon tugging the heartstrings of people to fund libraries - and I'll bet dollars to donuts that the local communities that receive funding through this bond initiative will divert that funding to more 'important' projects. And then we've got another tax-the-rich program that will make Einsteins out of all children and if-you-don't-vote-for-it-means-you-hate-children-you-scum-sucking-capitalist-pig.
I'm no expert on parenting, but I do know this: getting your children 'ready' for Kindergarten isn't predicated on pre-school - at least not totally. Getting your children ready for life is up to the PARENTS and don't give me any crap about this, that, or the other thing that will make them subject(s) of 'The Man' holding them down/back/whatever. My wife and I were reading to my daughter every night starting when she was about eight months old. We kept it up until she was about eight years old and after that it was reading the latest Harry Potter book when they were published.
And what was the result of our efforts?
Our daughter is in GATE classes in her middle school - she reads high above her grade level, and she's smart as a whip and that's not just a parent bragging about their kid.
One other thing we did was to play classical music - Bach, Beethoven, and especially Motzart in her room while she would be falling asleep; we'd read somewhere that this would 'activate' the part of the brain that handles mathmatical computations and what do you know? She's pounding out algebra and stuff that I didn't learn until high school - and she's in middle school!!
So.....the secret to getting your children ready for life isn't going to be because of pre-school - it'll be because of YOU taking an interest in their education. And you cannot legistlate caring for your children dispite what some in Sacramento might think.

I'm thinking that the person(s) responsible for packing the audience with 'supporters' might be looking through the classified ads this morning.....for a new job:
If an election can turn on a sentence, this could be the one: "You don't need papers for voting."
On Thursday night, Francine Busby, the Democratic candidate for the 50th Congressional District, was speaking before a largely Latino crowd in Escondido when she uttered those words. She said yesterday she simply misspoke.
But someone taped it and a recording began circulating yesterday. After she made that statement at the meeting, Busby immediately said: "You don't need to be a registered voter to help (the campaign)."
She said that subsequent statement was to clarify what she meant.
The recording, which was played yesterday on Roger Hedgecock's radio talk show, jolted the campaign.
Busby, a Cardiff school board member, is in a tight race with Republican Brian Bilbray, a congressman-turned-lobbyist, who has based his campaign on a tough anti-illegal-immigration stance. Busby has focused her campaign on ethics reform. The two are vying to replace Randy "Duke" Cunningham, who was jailed after pleading guilty to taking bribes.
Busby said she was invited to the forum at the Jocelyn Senior Center in Escondido by the leader of a local soccer league. Many of the 50 or so people there were Spanish speakers. Toward the end, a man in the audience asked in Spanish: "I want to help, but I don't have papers."
It was translated and Busby replied: "Everybody can help, yeah, absolutely, you can all help. You don't need papers for voting, you don't need to be a registered voter to help."
Bilbray said at worst, Busby was encouraging someone to vote illegally. At best, she was encouraging someone who is illegally in the country to work on her campaign.
"She's soliciting illegal aliens to campaign for her and it's on tape – this isn't exactly what you call the pinnacle of ethical campaign strategy," Bilbray said. "I don't know how she shows her face."
I hate to be the poor slob that has to tell Francine about the media storm when she calls to find out the latest polling.
A group of Palestinian children were sent towards the Gaza Strip border fence holding toy guns on Thursday in order to test the vigilance of the soldiers on duty.
From a distance, troops noticed four apparently armed Palestinians approaching the border north of the Kissufim crossing.
When the four were some 400 meters from the fence, the soldiers realized that they were children, who looked to be about 13 years of age, and that their guns were toys.
And people wonder why I always say that they Palestinians should have another heaping helping of 'F*ck You Stew'....?

UPDATE: Because this was so funny the first time around.....
I got something in my email this morning that made me laugh out loud - very loud.
Gotta love the wacky Aussies.
These questions were posted on an Australian Tourism Website and the answers are the actual responses by the website officials, who obviously have a sense of humour:
Q: Does it ever get windy in Australia? I have never seen it rain on TV, how do the plants grow? (UK)
A: We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around watching them die.
Q: Will I be able to see kangaroos in the street? (USA)
A: Depends how much you've been drinking.
Q: I want to walk from Perth to Sydney - can I follow the railroad tracks? (Sweden)
A: Sure, it's only three thousand miles, take lots of water.
Q: Is it safe to run around in the bushes in Australia? (Sweden)
A: So it's true what they say about Swedes.
Q: Are there any ATMs (cash machines) in Australia? Can you send me a list of them in Brisbane, Cairns, Townsville and Hervey Bay? (UK)
A: What did your last slave die of?
Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Australia? (USA)
A: A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe. Aus-tra-lia is that big island in the middle of the Pacific which does not... oh forget it. Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Kings Cross. Come naked.
Q: Which direction is North in Australia? (USA)
A: Face south and then turn 180 degrees. Contact us when you get here and we'll send the rest of the directions.
Q: Can I bring cutlery into Australia? (UK)
A: Why? Just use your fingers like we do.
Q: Can you send me the Vienna Boys' Choir schedule? (USA)
A: Aus-tri-a is that quaint little country bordering Ger-man-y, which is...oh forget it. Sure, the Vienna Boys Choir plays every Tuesday night in Kings Cross, straight after the hippo races. Come naked.
Q: Can I wear high heels in Australia? (UK)
A: You are a British politician, right?
Q: Are there supermarkets in Sydney and is milk available all year round? (Germany)
A: No, we are a peaceful civilization of vegan hunter/gatherers. Milk is illegal.
Q: Please send a list of all doctors in Australia who can dispense rattlesnake serum. (USA)
A: Rattlesnakes live in A-meri-ca which is where YOU come from. All Australian snakes are perfectly harmless, can be safely handled and make good pets.
Q: Do you have perfume in Australia? (France)
A: No, WE don't stink.
Q: I have developed a new product that is the fountain of youth. Can you tell me where I can sell it in Australia? (USA)
A: Anywhere significant numbers of Americans gather.
Q: Can you tell me the regions in Tasmania where the female population is smaller than the male population? (Italy)
A: Yes, gay nightclubs.
Q: Do you celebrate Christmas in Australia? (France)
A: Only at Christmas.
Q: I was in Australia in 1969 on R+R, and I want to contact the girl I dated while I was staying in Kings Cross. Can you help? (USA)
A: Yes, and you will still have to pay her by the hour.
Q: Will I be able to speak English most places I go? (USA)
A: Yes, but you'll have to learn it first.
However, the one that almost got me thrown out of the library cause I howled was this one:
Q: I have a question about a famous animal in Australia, but I forget its name. It's a kind of bear and lives in trees (USA)
A: It's called a Drop Bear. They are so called because they drop out of Gum trees and eat the brains of anyone walking underneath them. You can scare them off by spraying yourself with human urine before you go out walking.

Comments on Bewar of Drop Bears
Funny, but not true.
According to Snopes:
This list of cheeky answers to dumb tourist queries has been circulated on the Internet in various forms since at least 2000. While 2006 iterations of the list position it as having to do with the 2010 Winter Olympics (which will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia), earlier Canadian versions merely noted the questions and answers had come from "An International Tourism Website" (always unnamed).
This list of howlers exists in at least two other forms, however: Australian and South African. It is an omnibus humor piece, in that the questions and insolent responses thereto can be reworked to fit most any country.
In 2000, the purported tourist inquiries were presented within a framework of their having been asked in relation to the summer Olympics (which were held in Sydney, Australia, that year). Versions being circulated offered the claims that these questions and answers were from "the Sydney Olympic Committee via their Web site," or were "Questions e-mailed to the Olympics Info Line," or merely "Posted on an Australian Tourism Website."
IDIOTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD: I live in a semi-rural area. We recently had a
new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the
removal of the Deer Crossing sign on our road. The reason: "too many deer
were being hit by cars" and he didn't want them to cross there anymore. This
one was from Kingman, KS.
_______________________________________
IDIOTS IN FOOD SERVICE: My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a
taco. She asked the person behind the counter for "minimal lettuce." He said
he was sorry, but they only had iceberg. And he was a Kansas City chef!
________________________________________
IDIOT SIGHTING: I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an
airport employee asked, "Has anyone put anything in your baggage without
your knowledge? To which I replied, "If it was without my knowledge, how
would I know? He smiled knowingly and nodded, "That's why we ask." Happened
in Birmingham, Ala.
_______________________________________
IDIOT SIGHTING: The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross
the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of
mine when she asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it
signals blind people when the light is red. Appalled, she responded, "What
on earth are blind people doing driving?!" She was a probation officer in
Wichita, KS
______________________________________
IDIOT SIGHTING: At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker who was
leaving the company due to "downsizing," our manager commented cheerfully,
"This is fun. We should do this more often." Not a word was spoken. We all
just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare. This was a
bunch at Texas Instruments.
______________________________________
IDIOT SIGHTING: I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back
into itself and for the life of her couldn't understand why her system would
not turn on. A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriff's office no less.
________________________________________
IDIOT SIGHTING: When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to
pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the
service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the
driver's side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively
tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. "Hey," I
announced to the technician, "it's open!" To which he replied, "I know - I
already got that side." This was at the Ford dealership in Canton,
Mississippi!
Drop Bears. Before the Internet, we used to have lots of fun with Uncle Sam's Misguided Children, telling them about the Drop Bears, the Deadly Stinging Trees, the 25-ft long Crocs, and so on.

We Are AOL - You Will Be Assimilated
Every-so-often I have episodes like Vincent has had, but this takes the cake:
Read the whole thing - it is quite honestly something you'd see in a Monty Python comedy sketch. It's almost like being assimilated by the Borg.It makes me glad that I never, ever signed up for AOL.
To be honest, I did sign up for Compuserve years ago, but when they sucked $100+ out of my checking account because the connection number was an older 800 number that charged me basically $1 per minute, I learned to stay away from big companies like them.
And I only recently got away from dial-up service with my credit union.

|| Posted by Cait, June 18, 2006 05:16 AM ||Let's be fair here. I'm sure that the State Dept. puts out reems of info to inform the public but of course the federal gov. doesn't maintain a media outlet. Well....there's PBS but we know where THEY stand. Anyway, this info along with the accomplishments in Iraq and Afghanistan provided by the DOD and others must be filtered throught the MSM and most probably ends up in the trash. I would suspect the the MSM looks as any good news or policy statements(regardless of the the truth and logic) as propaganda and want nothing to do with it. The only way these people will ever believe it or reference it is if Thomas Friedman or Bob Woodward write a book about it.

Dixie 'Forrest Gump' Chicks Lament
In an interview with the UK's Telegraph, the Dixie Chicks ponder why their fans 'turned on them':
But what is really amazing (since stupid is a bit harsh) is this:I guess it'll take a clue in Aisle Four to get them to maybe grasp why it is that their fans turned on them......duh.This qualifies as a 'Launching a Butt Monkey'.....
And I'm still standing by my prediction that the sisters - Emily Robison and Martie Maguire - will wake up one morning, smell the coffee, and throw Natalie out of the band saying that 'she never spoke for us'.....wait for it.

Hey Mad One! How are things going? I've been lurking for awhile, but I've avoided leaving comments because my mother told me that if I had nothing nice to say ...
but about these Chicks... from the link you posted...
"There can be no rational explanation of how Maines's remark came to drive a red-hot poker into America's divided soul..."
Love it... 'no rational explanation'... :)
The chicks don't need their old fans... and they aren't going to break up, either. Have you listened to the album? It shore aint no cuntry muzik, thet's fer shore.

Agree or disagree with the war, the administration, border policy or state's rights, but how can you live here and not at least understand patriotism.
I've spoken about possibly leaving this country because of what it is becoming - a socialist state. But I'll always be an American, and will never renounce my citizenship, because I'll always believe in what American once was, and what it still can be. I just don't know if it will be "it" again in my lifetime.

Hey Sweetness...
Totally off-topic, buuut...
Did you send me an email a few days ago asking for Pixy's email address?
I answered ya right away, then a few days later, I got some weird email saying that my email to you hadn't been deliverd yet, yadda, yadda... and all I cared about was you not thinking I'd ignored ya.
Then, I got a coupla other odd emails in the same vein about other shit and started wondering if you'd even sent the first email and...
blugh...
Just thought I'd check with you.
AND, Paul (Light and Dark) has my Mozilla shit set so that when my info to post comments isn't "remembered", all I hafta do is double-click on the first two lines and it automatically fills it in.
I have to do the URL myself... I forget exactly why.
Anyway... when I just went to post this comment, I had to do the double-click thing to fill in my info EXCEPT...
for some reason it filled in "Acidman" for my name and his new email address for mine.
Now, yeah, I do love the guy and have been accused by people in my house of being him with boobs, but... daaaamn.

Final Exams Again
Although I'm only taking one class this quarter (at the insistance of my wife), it's time to prepare for the final exam.
The class is 'Linear Control System Theory' and the final exam is next Friday morning which means that I've got just under a week to prepare.
The nice part of preparing is that the professor is aware of what has happened to me in the last few months and that my taking his class was risky.
And why am I mentioning this?
Well, after the final class yesterday morning, the prof walked up to me and asked how was I doing in the class and if I was ready for the final exam.
I told him that while I had more-or-less retained the subject matter from the last time I took the class (last spring), I was having trouble with the material covered in the last few weeks......so much that it would be like tossing my daughter into an electronics class with no preperation. I have been reading and re-reading the chapters in the book, hoping that while staring and working the problem sets that all-of-a-sudden: click!, it would suddenly make sense. And it has.....to a small extent.
The prof told me that if I didn't feel prepared for the final exam that he'd prefer that I take an incomplete in the class and take an oral final (please, save the jokes - I've thought of them all) in the fall.
I knew that I shouldn't make a decision right then-and-there, and I told the prof that while I still have a week to prepare for the final that I'd let him know the morning of the final exam; if I felt ready, I'd walk in and take it - if I didn't feel prepared, I'd let him know and arrange to take an oral examination from him in the fall.
So.....I've got about a week to determine if I'm capable of taking the final exam. The final will cover root locus - mainly sketching a root locus drawing for a given feedback system and frequency response stuff which is what I'm shaky on.
So this week I'll be pounding this stuff into my brain and I'll see how I'm feeling come next Friday morning.

Comments on Democratic Crap
Mikey,
It is posts like these that make me cringe. While we do get along with one another now, I must shake a finger at you over the source of your story - Michele Malkin, come on. I mean, her and the likes of her (Limbaugh, Savage, etc.) pull these ridiculous stories out of their asses everytime one of the conservative/gop/bush champions open their suck holes and make really stupid comments (ala Der Coulter on her inhumane comments about the 9-11 widows). Doesn't this redirection and smoke and mirrors tactics of these pigs ever get old? You are a smart dude Mikey. I would hope that you can see past the illusions of the likes of these people when they pull this garbage.
Seriously, one prank pulled by some stupid assed college kid, and the whole left wing is bad because of this? And how do we know the GOP themselves didn't stage this? I wouldn't put it past them to dot his since the entire GOP is in shambles right now and you have your champions running around talking more out of their assholes then ever.
|| Posted by nunya, June 12, 2006 07:31 AM ||Michelle was just the link to the story - the link I provided comes straight from Breitbart.com.
And yes, I know that one story isn't indicative of the entire Democratic party - but seriously.....if this had been reported coming from a Republican operative, you know that it would be all over the blogsphere - especially the Left ones.
The reason I posted it is that it seems more often than not that this happens with the same players - tires being slashed, poop being delivered, political staffers being punched in the face. Granted - most of that happened last fall during the run-up to the election, but it still happened.
|| Posted by Mad Mikey, June 12, 2006 10:36 AM ||It happens on both sides dude. And it is nothing new. It just gets covered more by each sides opposition. My argument isn't even the weight you give to the source but the fact that these types of stories always seem to come out every time one of your champions makes a total ass of themselves. Say what you will about the left, but they rarley ever try to divert the attention away from their mistakes. Clinton may have lied, but his administration never tried to turn the attention away from what was going on.
I meann, look how piss poor this administration is doing and all of a sudden they seem to "find" and kill zarqawi? Puhleease. They knew every step he made as they know every step Bin Laden makes and they will strike when they need to in order to boost the opinion of themselves. And the sheep take the bait every time. All of a sudden the opinion polls on the war went up. So they killed a fugutive who is nothing more than a symbol, has no tactical or strategical bearing on the war.
I don't like the GOP for a lot of reasons, but when I was a repuglican, as slimey as their tactics were back then, they never went so low as they do today. Malkin, Coulter, Savage, Limbaugh are worse than Nazis as far as I am concerned.
|| Posted by nunya, June 12, 2006 03:24 PM ||oh and stop arguing with me and get to studying so you can kick ass on your exams! good luck on them and try too relax this summer!

Comments on 'Brave' Officer?
Hmm. Your perspective is interesting.
He joined the Army knowing full well he would likely be sent to Iraq. When he enlisted, he did it because he believed, as did most Americans, that Iraq had WMD.
We now know that this was fabricated by the administration, as were most of the other reasons laid out as justification for the invasion.
We all know that if Bush had said, "We're invading Iraq to force a democracy upon them" that they would not have had the public support needed to prosecute the war. This was supposed to be about fighting Radical Islam, not participating in Nation Building - which is all we are doing.
How is it not honorable to say that you won't fight in a war that was based upon lies? Where do you draw the line where, "I was just following orders" is not a justifiable defense?

Ahem.....that's a personal perspective and I'd rather not beat that dead horse again here.

What?
It's not a question of whether the war is legal or not - it isn't up to each member of the military to debate this. Their job is to follow orders dictated by the civilian government. Period.
And what is this stuff about 'following orders'? That makes no sense.....at least in the topic at hand.
|| Posted by Mad Mikey, June 7, 2006 07:36 PM ||There are PLENTY of things about the military that I don't agree with, but I have to go along with them. He's just being a loser and a coward and a loser-coward.
|| Posted by Dave, June 8, 2006 02:08 AM ||Mikey: It is not my personal perspective. The admin has stated there were never any WMD, thus no threat was posed. When an administration states, "We know the WMD are here, here and here", or other similar such statements, and that proves to be wrong, is that not lying? They didn't say, "We're making a wild-ass guess that he still has WMD", he said we KNEW what he had, and where it was.
The WHOLE THING is about refusing to follow orders. He is refusing an order to deploy because he feels the war was engaged under false pretenses. He was ready to fight, and proved that by signing up.
Dave: I'd like to know some of the things you disagree with. Do any of them involve killing people? That's this guy's disagreement.
And I'll pose the question again:
How is it not honorable to say that you won't fight in a war that was based upon lies? Where do you draw the line where, "I was just following orders" is not a justifiable defense?

I agree with your first point Mike S. Lt Peacenik is refusing orders. Lawful orders at that.
Soldiers dont get to choose which orders they will follow, they dont get to second guess the chain of command, and they dont get to choose which battlefields they will fight on. If he didnt know that when he signed up, he definately knew it by the time he accepted his commision.
Everything else you have to say is softer than puppy sh*t.

The opinion of this L/Cpl is he should have just took the gas pipe and saved us all this drama.

Primary Results
I hate to admit this, but I didn't get a chance to vote yesterday - too many things happening and I wasn't (and still aren't) feeling so great as the dialysis process has 'improved' with a higher filtration rate; more garbage pulled out means that I'm 'feeling' it more.
But that's okay - the main issues that I was wanting to vote on got killed:
Prop 82 took a spectacular beating - over 60% said 'I don't think so Tim!''Maybe we'll start hearing about 'voting irregularities' that caused these lame props to fail....I'd actually be surprised if there weren't any people whining about them.
And want-do-you-know? Brian Bilbray beat Francine "You don't need no stinking papers!" Busby. Damn....I hate it when that happens.

Operation Overlord
Today is the 62nd anniversary of Operation Overlord.
From the U.S. Navy's 'Dates in Naval History' page:
This event marked the 'beginning of the end' of Nazi Germany's domination of the continent of Europe.Following the liberation of all occupied countries, the people poured out onto the streets to greet, kiss, and hug the Americans as they pushed on to finish the war that was started years before.
The sad part?
The sad part is that while there are some that remember it was the United States that applied force and liberated them, it would seem that most people in Europe would just as soon forget that America played a significant part in their lives today.
UPDATE: Citizen Smash reminds us of another significant event in history that happened on June 4, 1943: the Battle of Midway.
In a spread of three days, the Japanese were handed their asses to them on a plate by the United States Navy with the sinking of four aircraft carriers - it changed the landscape of the war in the Pacific and I feel quite the fool for forgetting such a turning point in World War II.

Historical Butt-Stomping
Charlie over at OPFOR reminds us of a significant event that happened right before I was born - the Six Day War on 1973.
The war changed the 'landscape' of the Middle East - so much that the Palestinians are still whining about the 'stolen land' and it's probably the one war/event that most Middle Eastern nations still won't really acknowledge to this day.

MuNu Denial of Service Attack
I guess I wasn't paying attention but the MuNu chunk of the blogsphere sustained at least two denial of service attacks on Saturday.
Our blog-diety, Pixy, shored up the firewall protecting the MuNu servers and we're back in business. Pixy so rocks!!
I haven't read anything as to indicate why MuNu was attacked - I guess the DOS perpetratiors just don't like Munuvians......

California Primary Propositions
Believe it or not, I had virually forgotten that the June primary is next Tuesday and California voters are supposed to vote on two different propositions.
Read More of "California Primary Propositions"They are:
- Prop 81 - California Reading and Literacy Improvement and Public Library Construction and Renovation Bond Act of 2006.
- Prop 82 - Preschool Education. Tax on Incomes Over $400,000 for Individuals; $800,000 for Couples. Initiative Constitutional Amendment and Statute.
(The actual propositions can be found on the Secretary of State of California website through the link above)To be honest, I haven't really researched either proposition but I do know that I'll be voting NO on both of them.
Why?
Prop 81 is basically yet another bond initiative to pay for libraries in California that were supposed to have been funded at least two different times in the last 20 years. Sorry - 1.2 billion (the total cost of the bonds including interest) isn't in the forcast for California.....especially when we're paying for such insane things like medical insurance for illegal aliens.
Prop 82 is another pie-in-the-sky program that Hollywood director Rob Reiner dreamed up that proports to help children better prepare for their future by getting them into pre-school and it'll be paid for by taxing people who make over $400 thousand a year.
Can someone tell me - in an intelligent manner - why people like Reiner think that it's okay to tax the living crap out of people that make what some might call 'insanely high income'? Just because someone (or a couple) make more than the average bear doesn't mean that they're 'perfect' to be taxed; I cannot seem to get that one through my head....unless I smack myself in the head with a ball-peened hammer. Honestly, taxing the 'rich' because they're 'rich' isn't what I'd call progressive.......it's more like punative or retarded.
So - we've got another bond issue that depend upon tugging the heartstrings of people to fund libraries - and I'll bet dollars to donuts that the local communities that receive funding through this bond initiative will divert that funding to more 'important' projects. And then we've got another tax-the-rich program that will make Einsteins out of all children and if-you-don't-vote-for-it-means-you-hate-children-you-scum-sucking-capitalist-pig.
I'm no expert on parenting, but I do know this: getting your children 'ready' for Kindergarten isn't predicated on pre-school - at least not totally. Getting your children ready for life is up to the PARENTS and don't give me any crap about this, that, or the other thing that will make them subject(s) of 'The Man' holding them down/back/whatever. My wife and I were reading to my daughter every night starting when she was about eight months old. We kept it up until she was about eight years old and after that it was reading the latest Harry Potter book when they were published.
And what was the result of our efforts?
Our daughter is in GATE classes in her middle school - she reads high above her grade level, and she's smart as a whip and that's not just a parent bragging about their kid.
One other thing we did was to play classical music - Bach, Beethoven, and especially Motzart in her room while she would be falling asleep; we'd read somewhere that this would 'activate' the part of the brain that handles mathmatical computations and what do you know? She's pounding out algebra and stuff that I didn't learn until high school - and she's in middle school!!
So.....the secret to getting your children ready for life isn't going to be because of pre-school - it'll be because of YOU taking an interest in their education. And you cannot legistlate caring for your children dispite what some in Sacramento might think.
All done with "California Primary Propositions"?

Comments on Bewar of Drop Bears
Funny, but not true.
According to Snopes:
This list of cheeky answers to dumb tourist queries has been circulated on the Internet in various forms since at least 2000. While 2006 iterations of the list position it as having to do with the 2010 Winter Olympics (which will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia), earlier Canadian versions merely noted the questions and answers had come from "An International Tourism Website" (always unnamed).
This list of howlers exists in at least two other forms, however: Australian and South African. It is an omnibus humor piece, in that the questions and insolent responses thereto can be reworked to fit most any country.
In 2000, the purported tourist inquiries were presented within a framework of their having been asked in relation to the summer Olympics (which were held in Sydney, Australia, that year). Versions being circulated offered the claims that these questions and answers were from "the Sydney Olympic Committee via their Web site," or were "Questions e-mailed to the Olympics Info Line," or merely "Posted on an Australian Tourism Website."

IDIOTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD: I live in a semi-rural area. We recently had a
new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the
removal of the Deer Crossing sign on our road. The reason: "too many deer
were being hit by cars" and he didn't want them to cross there anymore. This
one was from Kingman, KS.
_______________________________________
IDIOTS IN FOOD SERVICE: My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a
taco. She asked the person behind the counter for "minimal lettuce." He said
he was sorry, but they only had iceberg. And he was a Kansas City chef!
________________________________________
IDIOT SIGHTING: I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an
airport employee asked, "Has anyone put anything in your baggage without
your knowledge? To which I replied, "If it was without my knowledge, how
would I know? He smiled knowingly and nodded, "That's why we ask." Happened
in Birmingham, Ala.
_______________________________________
IDIOT SIGHTING: The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross
the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of
mine when she asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it
signals blind people when the light is red. Appalled, she responded, "What
on earth are blind people doing driving?!" She was a probation officer in
Wichita, KS
______________________________________
IDIOT SIGHTING: At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker who was
leaving the company due to "downsizing," our manager commented cheerfully,
"This is fun. We should do this more often." Not a word was spoken. We all
just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare. This was a
bunch at Texas Instruments.
______________________________________
IDIOT SIGHTING: I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back
into itself and for the life of her couldn't understand why her system would
not turn on. A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriff's office no less.

IDIOT SIGHTING: When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to
|| Posted by Tetzman, June 1, 2006 01:28 PM ||pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the
service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the
driver's side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively
tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. "Hey," I
announced to the technician, "it's open!" To which he replied, "I know - I
already got that side." This was at the Ford dealership in Canton,
Mississippi!
Doesn't matter Mikey, it was very funny. I laughed out loud too.
