State Bureaucrats Send People One-Dollar Checks

Scott Michaels — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 16:25:06 +0000

Recently, bureaucrats over in Washington state — in the new spirit of giving that you see everywhere you look, these days — sent each of about a quarter-million welfare recipients a check for one dollar. This appears to be a ploy designed to squeeze another forty or so million dollars from the federal government by [...] Related posts:

Republican Party Wants To “Reeducate” Specter, Snowe, Collins

admin — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 21:07:13 +0000

In a display highlighting new RNC Chairman Michael Steele’s willingness to take a pair of nunchucks to any Republican member of Congress who deviates from the party line, Steele admitted the other day that serious consideration was being given to how so-called renegade Senators Arlen Specter, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins could be “disappeared” for [...] Related posts:

Citibank Taken to the Cleaners By…Nigerians!

Scott Michaels — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 08:27:58 +0000

There’s an interesting story in the New York Times showing that when it comes to bilking people and institutions out of money, Nigerians have cornered the market on creativity and ingenuity. It’s also proven something about one of our largest financial institutions, Citibank. Like maybe how dull-witted foolishness has been getting it into [...] Related posts:

Don’t Like What a Review Says? Pay to Have it Removed

Scott Michaels — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 20:56:45 +0000

I came across a little tidbit in last Wednesday’s East Bay Express, out in the San Francisco area, that shows yet again the ever-increasing power of the Internet. In the article, a disturbing and unethical practice by a locally-based social site, Yelp.com, was exposed. It showed that when it came to business reviews [...] Related posts:

Man Gets Twenty Weeks for Whistling

Scott Michaels — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 12:00:19 +0000

Normally, I assign these sorts of oddball news stories to categories which carry names like “Another Sign that the Apocalypse is Upon Us,” or “Are You Freakin’ Kidding Me?” but the events and subsequent actions surrounding this particular saga say something about us, too, and that’s what can make stories like these worth exploring. To start, [...] Related posts:

Transgendered Wife Over-Exercises Husband, James Mason, to Death

Scott Michaels — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 23:48:39 +0000

Living up to the adage “there’s no fool like an old fool,” a 73 year-old Ohio man who’d died of a heart attack while exercising in a swimming pool with his 41 year-old transgendered wife in June, 2008 was recently proven to have bought it as a result of his man-cum-woman bride’s reckless, homicidal behavior. And also [...] Related posts:

Obama Upholds Bush Religious Discrimination Policy

Scott Michaels — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 05:39:54 +0000

Proving he’s no amateur when it comes to tacking as far right or left as necessary to capture some vital constituency, President Barack Obama recently upheld a key Bush administration policy allowing groups receiving federal dollars to discriminate in hiring on the basis of religion. During the campaign, Obama had assured audiences of his intent to [...] Related posts:

Paris Hilton Vows To Help the Global Economy

Scott Michaels — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 21:24:34 +0000

Proving yet again that life is ALWAYS funnier than anything those fellows from the Jon Stewart Show could cook up, Paris Hilton today vowed to do her Rosie the Riveter-like part to help the struggling global economy. By shopping even more than she usually does. Haute couture salons across the world heaved a mighty sigh [...] Related posts:

Study: Parents Blamed for Childhood Obesity, Well Holy Hell!

Scott Michaels — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 03:59:09 +0000

A new study came out yesterday from a group of scientists (or game show writers, judging from the obviousness of the conclusions drawn) telling me what I’d already learned from my days as a fast-food restaurant burger flipper: Children, by and large, have a peculiar habit of eating the kinds and types of food their parents eat. No joke? You [...] Related posts:

New Line Announces a “Sex and the City” Sequel

Scott Michaels — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 01:53:06 +0000

It seems New Line Cinema is bringing back Sarah Jessica Parker and the rest of the movie cast of the “Sex and the City” crew for a sequel to last year’s successful effort. Don’t get me wrong; at least one of the movie’s stars (Kim Cattrall) used to be what my friends called “prime spank [...] Related posts:
