Biting the bullet

Biting the bullet – cutting expenses. I HOPE YOU WILL PARTICIPATE AND DO YOUR PART. The President ordered the cabinet to cut $100 million from the $3.5 trillion federal budget. I’m so impressed by this sacrifice that I have decided to do the same thing with my personal budget. I spend about $2000 a month on groceries, household expenses, medicine, utilities, etc, but it’s time to get out the budget cutting axe, go through my expenses, and cut back. I’m going to cut my spending at exactly the same ratio, 1/35,000 of my total budget. After doing the math, it looks like instead of spending $2000 a month; I’m going to have to cut that number by six cents. Yes, I’m going to have to get by with $1999.94, but that’s what sacrifice is all about. I’ll just have to do without some things, that are, frankly, luxuries.

Fox Hunting

I felt a real need to forward this to you and ask you to do the same…. Please don’t misread my intentions…. I am in NO way in agreement with any type of gun control, but after seeing this…. I am, unfortunately, in agreement that something needs to change… If you agree with this, please send to the powers that be.. Hope we can stop it. While I agree that hunting is an ethical God-given right, I think that we would have to agree on this… Fox hunting in MONTANA should be banned! Please help ban fox hunting in Montana THIS MADNESS MUST STOP!! Signed, Peter Cottontail Bugs Bunny The Easter Bunny Thumper

Shoplifter takes nasty fall

Orville Smith, a store manager for Best Buy in Augusta, Georgia, told police he observed a male customer, later identified as Tyrone Jackson of Augusta, on surveillance cameras putting a laptop computer under his jacket… When confronted the man became irate, knocked down an employee, drew a knife and ran for the door. Outside on the sidewalk were four Marines collecting toys for the "Toys for Tots" program. Smith said the Marines stopped the man, but he stabbed one of the Marines, Cpl. Phillip Duggan, in the back, the injury did not appear to be severe. After Police and an ambulance arrived at the scene Cpl. Duggan was transported for treatment. The subject was also transported to the local hospital with two broken arms, a broken ankle, a broken leg, several missing teeth, possible broken ribs, multiple contusions, assorted lacerations, a broken nose and a broken jaw… injuries he sustained when he slipped and fell off of the curb after stabbing the Marine!
