Crackerjack DC Police in Action

Wednesday, November 16th, 2011

ABC News is reporting that a mentally ill man with a fixation on the White House apparently fired a gun that hit a window at the White House.

According to the news story, D.C. police, police are concerned the man “may pose a threat to President Obama.”

May?

Please let the D.C. police know if you have any ideas about helping them figure out whether someone shooting a gun at the White House is a threat to the President or not!

Bill Clinton’s Selective Photographic Memory

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

There is a story today about Bill Clinton having a rare, near photographic memory. For example, he can remember a phone number of a friend’s parent, told to him a decade ago.

Where was that photographic memory when he was being questioned in lawsuits, asked about sexual harassment claims, ‘bimbo eruptions’ and Monica Lewinsky?

How to Turn Off 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Oil Maintenance Light

Sunday, September 18th, 2011

Here are the easy steps to turning off the annoying oil maintenance light – especially when the dealer forgets:

1. Turn the engine one. Full. Press brake and the start/stop button.

2. Press the trip odometer button until it goes to “A” mode.

3. Turn engine off.

4. Press the trip odometer button and hold it down.

5. Press the start/stop button twice. This is not a full engine on. Do not press the brake pedal.

You will see the maintenance sequence reset and a notice will appear when it is complete.

You’re done.

Yahoo Coddles Violent Criminals

Tuesday, August 30th, 2011

Only Yahoo, a well known extreme left website based in the San Francisco would promote this headline all over it’s site:

Teen Gets Branded a Felon for Life for 7 Cents

Oh, how terrible.

Until you learn the facts of the story:

Anthony Stewart took a bb gun that looked like a real gun, beat down a 73-year old man, punching him in the face, and then robbed the man of everything he had on him.

Stewart then fought the charges instead of pleading to a lesser crime, and was ultimately found guilty by a JURY of first degree robbery.

The fact the victim only had 7 cents on him hardly lessens the malicious crime.

Because what the victim endured was made so much more pleasant because he was not carrying money on him.

As a result Anthony Stewart was sentenced to 2 to 6 years in juvenile detention.

Yahoo called it a “mere 7 cents”. I call it thuggery worthy of the punishment, and so did the jury and judge.

Maybe if the writer at Yahoo had their grandmother punched out, threatened, and robbed they might write a different story. Or they could read their story to their grandmother in the doctor’s office while getting treated, saying, it’s ok, you only had 7 cents on you.

Romney Is Not Serious About Running for President

Monday, August 22nd, 2011

As much as I like Mitt Romney, a story today from San Diego gives me pause about whether he is serious about running for President.

Romney has reportedly filed an application to level a 3000 square foot, $12 million dollar home be bought a couple years ago, so he can build an 11,000 square foot monster.

This story of the rich, deaf to the suffering masses, politician has been played out repeatedly. Especially in California. I cannot recall it resulting in political victory.

Reminds me of McCain not being able to remember how many houses he owned.

Mitt – you had to file that application now? Why now?

During a week o major news stories about the flat-lining economy and people concerned about the jobs and ability to pay for their mortgage?

One thing I know (and this is an issue with numerous ramifications which may have helped get this country where it is) is that compared to the number of super-rich where $12 million can be tossed aside to built a mega-mansion, there are a lot more who make a tad less. Who will never make a combined $12 million in their lifetime.

They vote. And more will vote for someone else.

If you want to be President, spend your money wisely.
