Nothing But The Truth

The next time you receive that mass e-mail stating that Barack Obama had the American flag removed from his campaign plane, it will state that Snopes says it is true. And, it is - as far as it goes. Snopes It goes on to say that he only removed the flag that was used in the American Airlines logo on the tail of the plane. There is still an American flag on the plane right next to the plane's serial number. Furthermore, in the NEXT paragraph, there is a picture of John McCain's airplane, and there's not a sign of an American flag anywhere.

Good grief, people! Next time, try to tell the whole truth, instead of picking out words and phrases that match up with your biased, ignorant, bigoted, racist ideas.

The other day, in Ozark, MO, a 16 year old boy was found on the ground under a bridge. Police tased him 19 times. They justified this by saying that the kid didn't turn over when they told him to. Turns out, the boy had a broken back.

'Way to go, Officer Krupke! (You remember Officer Krupke from 'West Side Story', don't you?")

It's been a bad week for 16-year-old boys. A young employee at the Branson Zoo offered to take a picture of the tigers, but fell inside the enclosure, and was bitten several times. The official story from the Zoo officials was that the tigers were trying to help the boy.

Nice kitties.

Last week, our local City Council met in closed session and took a secret vote replacing a retiring councilman. The Mayor assured them that the vote was legal. (Snrk.) Worse, yet, so did the City Attorney. This is the kind of thing that makes the editor of our local paper go apeshit. He is all about the Freedom of Information Act. So, the council, to shut him up, met the next week, in open session and voted the same way.

I would like to think the Mayor, Attorney and Council can't possibly be stupid enough to keep on trying that secret vote business. They must be doing it to rattle the editor's cage and watch him blow like Old Faithful.

Hey, did you see the video that Paris Hilton made, calling John McCain a "wrinkly old guy"?

The wrinkly old guy apparently didn't get it, because he called it "cute".

Speaking of McCain, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Cindy took him to the woodshed for pinping her out to the biker beauty pageant.

That old geezer ought to get all the feminists flags flying for his apparent attitude toward women.

Show of hands. How many people have gone to McCain's website and bought tire gauges for $25.00 a pop? He's too much a part of the Washington mind-set to see anything wrong with charging that much for an 89 cent item available at Wal-Mart. But, then, I have never noticed him objecting to the gubbmint buying $200 ash trays and $600 toilet seats, either.

Some maverick.


Stay tuned.
