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?

This just in! Election 2008
Someone from this party said something about that party, and that party thought it was mean. Outrage ensues! More at eleven...
I hate politics, unfortunately it's too improtant to ignore.

Ripoff?
Let's just say I'm not convinced the buy-a-car-get-gas-discount gimmick is worth it. Please tell me the only reason you're buying a new car is not for the $3.00/gallon gasoline. All you're getting is a $600 discount (assuming $4.00/gal gas) on a car that gets 20 MPG. You could talk them down that much and get the money up front, and avoid the hoops you'll have to jump through to get your money back.
If you want to save $600 on gas just use the standard tricks while driving.
1) Slow down. For the record, I do not follow this advice.
2) Put the car in neutral and coast down hills. Note, I do this a lot but I have a manual 5-speed. If you have an automatic transmition, don't do this.
3) Drop the top on your convertible and turn off the AC.
I bet if you look around on this thing we call "the internet" you could find some more helpfull hints. Just please don't buy a new car for a gas gimmick.
This has been your Consumer Alert Update, brought to you by Carls Jr's.

SEC Tournament and a Tornado
To think I lived in Northwest TN, aka Tornado Alley, for two years and I had to move to Atlanta to get hit directly by a tornado/severe weather. As the State - Bama game went into overtime, the Georgia Dome's roof started shaking and the scoreboard started swaying. Time to seek shelter. Or as one University of Kentucky fan put it, "God is angry the Kentucky game has been postponed."
The last second shot in regulation that sent it to overtime? Simply a blessing. Had that shot not gone in, several hundred fans would have been sitting in traffic when the storm came through instead of sitting in a concrete building. So I had a window knocked out of my car, we weren't in it when the rock came sailing through the window. For that, I truly can give thanks.

My Support is still available
It is alleged that Hillary has purchased the support of a Southern, African American, Priest for $210,000. I am not appalled, I am not disappointed, I am not writing this to skewer the Senator. I applaud such tactics, and I'm throwing My Support into the ring.
Since I only fit one of the three categories mentioned, I'll offer My Support for the going rate of 1/3rd the final price. That's right, for a mere $70,000 you, Mrs. Senator, may have My Support. What does My Support entail? This site will become an Ode To Hillary. If it's exposure you're after, look no further than the Internet. Remember when Amazon.com first went public? They were given an infinite market capitalization, because the amount of potential customers could not be quantified. So it is with My Support. My Support is based on the same technology as Amazon, and therefore possesses the same potential. Second, My Support is also verbal. I will push your candidacy with a grass roots campaign. At my place of employment I have a captive audience of literally dozens. My Support will cross all racial, ethnic, and religious lines as my company is an equal opportunity workplace. At this point I will begin to solicit donations for your campaign. Since part of the captive audience includes Vice Presidents and CEO/Owners, the amount of contributions collected through My Support has the potential to exceed the meager fee.
Therefore Senator, if you're reading this - and I'm certain you're not - know that My Support can be purchased and no judgements passed.
