Urine Test?

I HAVE TO PASS A URINE TEST FOR MY JOB… SO I AGREE 100%. Like a lot of

folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and

the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that

paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no

problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to

people who don’t have to pass a urine test. Shouldn’t one have to pass a

urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for

them? Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on

their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone

sitting on their butt, doing drugs, while I work. Can you imagine how much

money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check? Pass this along if you agree, you all will pass it along, though. Something has to change

in this country — and soon!

Bea Arthur Passes Away

A tribute to the white haired witty actress, who could take you down with one word. So long Bea.......you will be missed......

Somali Pirate..........

They say he's a teenager..........

Abdiwali Abdiqadir Muse, the sole surviving Somali pirate from the hostage-taking of an American ship captain, was to appear in a courtroom Tuesday on what were expected to be piracy and hostage-taking charges.

FBI agents escort Somali pirate U.S. officials identify as Abduhl Wali-i-Musi into FBI headquarters at 26 Federal Plaza, Monday, in New York. Abduhl Wal-i-Musi is the sole surviving Somali pirate from the hostage-taking of commercial ship captain Richard Phillips. I'm surprised that he is alive, since they were shooting everyone in sight..............guess he was out of sight........

I Don't Believe This..........

US President Barack Obama shakes hands with his Venezuelan counterpart Hugo Chavez during the 5th 'Summit of the Americas' in Port of Spain, Trinidad. A 'Summit of the Americas' bringing together Obama and Latin American leaders in Trinidad and Tobago is set to end on April 19 amid hopes that the United States and Cuba might be on their way to burying almost a half-century of hostility. What a mess we are getting into..........this guy has that smirky look on his face........I don't trust him..........you shouldn't either..........

Family of Captain.....

Andrea Phillips, wife of rescued captain Richard Phillips, with family members including her son Daniel and daughter Mariah, makes a statement at a news conference in Burlington, Vermont April 13, 2009. The U.S. Navy rescued her husband American ship captain Richard Phillips from Somali pirates who had held him hostage on a lifeboat since attempting to hijack his vessel, ending a five-day stand-off but drawing vows of revenge from pirates. I believe we have gotten something else started and it will take another stand off..........by our armed forces.....
I'm wondering what's next.........?

Captain Still Hostage........

Members of the French army negotiate with the Somali pirates that had captured the boat, the Tanit. Somali pirates have captured a tug and its 16-strong crew, a Kenyan official reported Saturday, hours after another group holding a US captain hostage warned against any attempt to free him. I suppose that if it wasn't Bin Laden, it would be someone else...........and now we see just how far, some idiots will go to take something that doesn't belong to them..............

Yellow Ribbons

Yellow ribbons line the fence in front of the home of Capt. Richard Phillips in Underhill, Vt. Phillips, the American captain held hostage by four Somali pirates, made a desperate escape attempt Friday but was recaptured. America, take them out...........they are a menace to society..........and the world..........

Meet The PUMA

This General Motors handout shows an electric two-wheeled two-seat prototype vehicle developped by GM and Segway, which could allow people to travel around cities more quickly, safely, quietly and cleanly, and at a lower total cost. The collaboration has been dubbed Project PUMA(Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility). Now they've got things going to a smaller level............wonder what the price tag on this one will be?
