Spider rolled in from
Hollister burn
With a one-eyed stolen mare
Donned himself with chicken fat
Sawin on a jaw bone violin there
Kathleen was sittin down
In Little Red’s recovery room
In her criminal underwear bra
I was naked to the waist
With my fierce black hound
And I’m cookin up a filipino box spring hog
Cookin up a filipino box spring hog
Cookin up a filipino box spring hog

Imagine the editorial opinion if GWB appointed a tax cheat to Sec. Treas.
Obama Administration: Taxing us all
We get that people make mistakes. It happens because the tax code is too complicated. So dense that even Rep. Charles Rangel, chairman of the House committee that writes tax laws, owes the government money for taxes he failed to pay.
Geithner signed documents as part of his employment that he knew he was liable for these taxes and they would not be withheld.

Rep. Jeffrey Wood was arrested Dec. 12 by a state trooper responding to reports of a drunken driver on Interstate 90. His vehicle had smashed into a signpost and snowbank before returning to the road. A criminal complaint against him said Wood told the trooper he did not know how his car got a flat tire and "suggested that it happened during parking."
Wood has apologized for using poor judgment but has rejected calls to resign. He is scheduled for a court appearance on the charges Feb. 4.
A third offense of drunken driving carries a jail term of between 30 days and one year and the loss of a driver's license for up to three years. An ignition interlock device may be installed for up to one year when driving privileges resume.
Columbia County District Attorney Jane Kohlwey said her office is still considering whether to add civil charges of public urination and failure to remain at the scene of an accident.

ATLANTA – Not even a former president is immune from thieves.
Two bicycles belonging to President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, were snatched from inside the Carter Center near downtown Atlanta earlier this month.
The couple likes to ride bicycles in nearby Freedom Park when they have free time. Peter Wicker, the owner of a local bike shop, donated the bicycles to the Carters in 2007 after seeing the poor condition of their old bikes, which had been brought in for repairs.

McFadden, 46, of 6290 Hyland Dr. in Dublin, was taken into custody on seven prostitution-related counts, including charges that he promoted a 17-year-old prostitute online.

AMMUNITION ACCOUNTABILITY ACT -- A NEW KIND OF GUN CONTROL
The anti-gun lobby is now pushing for legislation to register and control all small-arms AMMUNITION in the country, a major step towards the registration and confiscation of our private weapons themselves.
The "Ammunition Accountability Act" is currently being pushed in 19 states -- Alabama, Arizona, Indiana, California , Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Washington.
According to the proposed law, nobody will be able to sell any ammunition after June 30, 2009 unless that ammunition is coded. Furthermore, any privately held uncoded ammunition -- including hand-loaded ammo -- must be destroyed by 2011. They also plan to charge a five-cent surtax on each new round, so every new box of ammo you buy will go up by at least $2.50 or more.
Quote from their website: "Ammunition Accountability is a newly forming group of ammunition coding technology supporters. Our group includes gun crime victims, industry representatives, law enforcement, public officials, public policy experts, and more. We are working together to pass legislation to make ammunition coding technology a reality. Ammunition coding technology works by laser etching the back of each bullet with an alpha-numeric serial number. Then when a potential criminal purchases a box of 9mm cartridges, the box of ammunition and the bullets’ coding numbers would be connected to the purchaser in a statewide database. When a bullet is found at a crime scene, the code on the bullet can be read with a simple magnifying glass and then be run through a statewide database to determine who purchased that ammunition and where, providing a valuable investigative lead."
Any private citizens owning non-coded (including handloaded) ammo after 2011, would be breaking the law.
By your necessary ammo purchases you would reveal exactly what caliber of weapon(s) you now own, which would greatly improve the efficiency of future gun confiscation.
