Duck Names New Chief Of Police
Posted on January 5, 2008 - Filed Under Police | Leave a Comment
I came across this article while searching for information on North Carolina’s Outer Banks region and am passing it along (untouched) in hopes you’ll find it as humorous as I did-
The Town of Duck has named Lieutenant Phillip Ferguson as its new chief of police.
At a ceremony held on Friday, Dec. 21, Duck Town Manager Christopher J. Layton administered the oath of office to Ferguson. Sandy Ferguson, the chief’s wife, pinned on his new badge while their daughter, Piper, and his…
Tokyo Shows Us The Future Of Universal Health Care
Posted on January 4, 2008 - Filed Under Health Care | 1 Comment
According to Reuters, a japanese firm has taken the concept of Universal Health Care to its logical conclusion-
TOKYO (Reuters) - Hoping to send the message that pets are life-long partners not disposable accessories, a Japanese maker of medicines for animals has begun giving employees who own dogs or cats a monthly “family allowance” for their pets.
The number of pets in Japan has grown with greater affluence and a falling birth rate and there are now more pet cats and dogs…
Let The Games Begin! Iowa Caucus 85%-97% In
Posted on January 3, 2008 - Filed Under Vote 2008 | Leave a Comment
The first actual contest in the Presidential race has just about concluded. The Republican results are rather predictable with 85% of precincts reporting-
- Mike Huckabee - 34%
- Mitt Romney - 25%
- Fred Thompson -14%
- John McCain - 13%
- Ron Paul - 10%
- Rudy Giuliani - 4%
- Duncan Hunter - 0%
The Democratic side, however, was shocking (at least to me) with 97% of precincts reporting-
- Barack Obama - 38%
- John Edwards - 30%
- Hillary Clinton - 29%
- Richardson - 2%
- Joe Biden - 1%
- Chris Dodd - 0%
- Mike Gravel -0%
- Dennis Kucinich - 0%
There’s still…
Fox Affiliate Points Out Fox Censorship Of Dr. Ron Paul
Posted on January 2, 2008 - Filed Under Vote 2008 | Leave a Comment
A giant huzzah has to go out to television station KPTM in Omaha, NE for running the following news segment-
via videosift.com
The segment details how Fox News and the New Hampshire Republican Committe has neglected to invite Ron Paul to the New Hampshire Forum on January 6th, despite his polling higher than Thompson who was invited. The Paul campaign would just like an explanation of why they were not invited, but Fox News isn’t talking. Bravo to the news staff at KPTM for…
Confusion Reigns As Dow Has Worst First Day Ever
Posted on January 2, 2008 - Filed Under Education, Personal Finance | 1 Comment
According to MSNBC the Dow Jones Industrial Average had its worst first day of the year, ever today. Oil spiked 4% to $100 per barrel and the Dow dropped around 220 points. Meanwhile, silver prices (where I’m currently investing) barely increased. As a novice investor, none of this makes sense to me. I can read the news reports, I can do the math, but I’m simply failing to see the correlations. I need to take some economics classes, but that’s…
How Oblivious Would You Like Your President?
Posted on January 2, 2008 - Filed Under Vote 2008 | 1 Comment
Okay, I know all of the Presidential candidates are mighty busy with less than 24 hours before the Iowa Caucus, and my opinions on the television writer’s strike have been made pretty clear, but can the so-called leading Republican candidate really be this oblivious-
NEW YORK (AP) — The return of TV’s late-night funnymen after a two-month strike hiatus turned into a bizarre mix of picketing and presidential politics Wednesday as Mike Huckabee headed for Jay Leno’s show and Hillary Clinton turned…
