Dear All,

Police summoned to the church Friday by staff, found the man trying to haul away a garbage can filled with food, kitchen utensils, clothes, electronic equipment and a 26-inch flat-screen television.

Hauling off a flat screen TV in a garbage can and being none too bright? Has to be a Chanberg...

Ask AP: Tax credits, disposing of recalled goods



THERMAL, Calif. (AP) -- They say crime doesn't pay. For one robber in California, it did - but not much. Authorities in Riverside County say a woman with a gun robbed 11 customers at a market and got away with $6.

A Sheriff's Department statement says the woman was armed with a semi-automatic pistol when she went to La Chicanita Market in the town of Thermal on Tuesday afternoon.

Deputy Herlinda Valenzuela says the woman confronted 10 customers in the store and also demanded money from one person who was entering the market. She then fled in an old car.

Nobody was hurt.

The great, late-Republican Roman orator and statesman Cicero describes the Sword of Damocles in his Tusculan Disputations:

Cicero: Tusculan Disputations V

XXI. [61] Quamquam hic quidem tyrannus ipse iudicavit, quam esset beatus. Nam cum quidam ex eius adsentatoribus, Damocles, commemoraret in sermone copias eius, opes, maiestatem dominatus, rerum abundantiam, magnificentiam aedium regiarum negaretque umquam beatiorem quemquam fuisse, 'Visne igitur' inquit, 'o Damocle, quoniam te haec vita delectat, ipse eam degustare et fortunam experiri meam?' Cum se ille cupere dixisset, conlocari iussit hominem in aureo lecto strato pulcherrimo textili stragulo, magnificis operibus picto, abacosque compluris ornavit argento auroque caelato. Tum ad mensam eximia forma pueros delectos iussit consistere eosque nutum illius intuentis diligenter ministrare.

[62] Aderant unguenta coronae, incendebantur odores, mensae conquisitissimis epulis extruebantur. Fortunatus sibi Damocles videbatur. In hoc medio apparatu fulgentem gladium e lacunari saeta equina aptum demitti iussit, ut impenderet illius beati cervicibus. Itaque nec pulchros illos ministratores aspiciebat nec plenum artis argentum nec manum porrigebat in mensam; iam ipsae defluebant coronae; denique exoravit tyrannum, ut abire liceret, quod iam beatus nollet esse. Satisne videtur declarasse Dionysius nihil esse ei beatum, cui semper aliqui terror impendeat? Atque ei ne integrum quidem erat, ut ad iustitiam remigraret, civibus libertatem et iura redderet; is enim se adulescens inprovida aetate inretierat erratis eaque commiserat, ut salvus esse non posset, si sanus esse coepisset.

Police allege the 55-year-old man broke into the First Christian Church on Thursday. After gathering items from around the building, he is believed to have gone to the basement to spend the night.

Police summoned to the church Friday by staff, found the man trying to haul away a garbage can filled with food, kitchen utensils, clothes, electronic equipment and a 26-inch flat-screen television.

Police Cmdr. Mike Brennan said the man used the electronic equipment to watch pornographic movies that were found on him when he was arrested.

The man was being held at the Story County Jail in lie

Rush Limbaugh is the PT Barnum of the modern era, getting rich by being just a tad "smarter" than the yokels that he is getting to watch (or in this case, to listen) to his show.

As me granpappy would say, "You don't need to be smart to get rich, you just need to know how to sell stuff to dumb people."

Dear Cathy, Good Evening!,

He might be the mouth...

He certainly isn't the brain..

Good afternoon.

I don't know if you heard - but on Tuesday - the mouth of the conservative party - Rush Limbaugh pledged to leave the United States and go to Costa Rica if the US Congress successfully passes and implements its health care legislation.

I don't think he realized that Costa Rica has a “socialized” single-payer health care system. And that 9 to 10 percent of a person's salary goes directly into the government system.

You can't make this stuff up.

Dear All, Good Evening!,

The Sword,(singular),Of Damocles?..

Did not swing..

It just hung there...

Thanks for the link and we'll be sure to file it right up there with all of the other useless contributions that you and the other two crybabies have provided us here over the past year.

that would be appreciated, but don't you think it would be better to actually learn when presented with a learning opportunity. Instead, you want to keep your head up your butt.

Even the village idiot absorbs some truth. tsk tsk.

Yeah the south had it coming.

Secession indeed. The USA was and is like a criminal gang. The only way you're leaving is in a body bag...

Fo' life...

the South refused to respect a fair and legal election . . . they tried to destroy democracy and thought it was great to own people too . . . again, Lincoln violated rights? . . . the South had NO rights . . .

The South had NO rights that the North was morally bound to respect . . . these Southerners influenced the SC to rule that no black man, slave or free, had ANY rights a white man was bound to respect . . . these people were massacred and desolated by Lincoln and he was TOTALLY right to do it . . .

until it is directed towards something that you support:

You need a jackbooted fascist overlord to make sure that stuff like that doesn't happen.


I do not support it at all because such things are like pendulums and swords of Damocles; they swing both ways.

The Demon Calibvrnvs Rex

Everyone in the US of A is free to leave to seek your freedoms, as you think they should be, elsewhere.

End of Discussion.
I rest my case.

No one told General Sherman that it took legislation to stop slavery...

Herr Fravc wrote, "All of this equates to less freedom for the population and more dictatorial power for the centralized perrmanent government, and you support this? "

Yes, I support it.

The country of the past is far different than the country of today.

If it were up to States to dictate the lawrs governing all within their borders then you'd still have slavery, you'd have some states full of Christian looneys beating gay people like pinatas for fun on Christmas mornings, you'd have states where the coloreds eating in the colored only sections of the Cracker Barrel, etc etc.

You need a jackbooted fascist overlord to make sure that stuff like that doesn't happen.

bogus argument that you are attempting to sell.

The fact of the matter is that chattle slavery and indentured servitude was legal within the original thirteen states.

In order for slavery to be eradicated there has to be legislation introduced in both houses of Congress and then a majority of 51 percent to make it a legal act. In case of a veto, there is a 3/5ths majority of both houses to pass it into law.

It is funny how you see nothing wrong with violating law and constitutional mandate just to make yourself appear "moral" or have legitimate standing. This begs the question: What else are you willing to violate and ignore to get your way?

Then people wonder why I continually state the a significant percentage of our domestic population poses more of a threat to our national sovereignty and sustainability than any cell of Al Queada.

The Demon Calibvrnvs Rex

The fact of the matter is there happens to be more political and economic chaos now with a more centralized federal system than there was when the states had the ultimate authority in this nation. With this more federalized system there is more debt, more taxation (of course this is to fund the nanny state) and a larger federal government than is actually necessary.

Even with you beloved more centralized federal system, those who are elected want more and more power. Look at what has happened to the Executive Branch since the beginning of last century. It has become so enormous until it actually dictates to the Legislative and Judicial Branches what to do and when to do it. Ladies and gentlemen, that is a de facto dictatorship whether you recognize it as one or not.

All of this equates to less freedom for the population and more dictatorial power for the centralized perrmanent government, and you support this?
Meanwhile I am the one who is accused of hating freedom and liberty menawhile most here support a larger than necessary central government so that you can have your socialism and welfare type programs at the expense of everyone else's freedoms and liberties.

The Demon Calibvrnvs Rex

PS - How does it feel to love and cherish the very thing the founders of this nation fought so hard to eliminate. Also, this All-powerful centralized government is one step away from enslaving the population with its subjugation of the population. Nice going gang, your claims of disdain for slavery has been nullified by your wanting of a nanny state.

Lincoln used NO immoral means to fuck up the Southerners . . . they DESERVED to be fucked up EVERY way possible, since they refused to stand by the results of a legal and fair election and tried to thus destroy democracy . . . and to top it off they actually thought it was okay to OWN people like you own a house . . . they had no rights at all . . .

Re By the way, the Tenth Amendment establishes who actually has greater authority in this country.

If the States had greater authority and power than the Feds then this country would be a mess. Thank goodness that the Feds have all the power.

What America would look like if States had greater authority than the Feds...

to resort to your race baiting bullshit Jason.

Just because something is ugly and evil does not make it appropriate for someone to eradicate it using less than just means.

With all of the bitching, whining and moaning about "unfair" treatment and law enforcement, I would think that you of all people would be one of the last to champion objectives begotten through surreptitious means.

The Demon Calibvrnvs Rex

PS - By the way, the Tenth Amendment establishes who actually has greater authority in this country. That is the relevancy of of me posting it. Regardless of your prostests, it is a valid point in this discussion.

Well, back in the 60's the upper west side that starts in the 80's and goes up to 110th Street was mostly working class Oyrish.

Then came the Hispanic influx. Greedy landlords made small one room apts. in Brownstones. People were jammed in these bldgs. Crime soared and conditions got worse.

Then came the Gentrifyers. They bought up these brownstones with Govt. loans.

So the poor and indigent were forced out and Voila, Million dollar brownstones.

And where are those indigents now.

Many had children who became lawyers, doctors, and executives.

And now they have the same opportunity as the earlier Gentrifyers.

from the centre. There is still new growth on the outside, but the rot spreads and eventually kills the tree. Imagine the tree is a city, but here nature has nothing to do with the rot. Developers find it cheaper to build on "green-field" sites in the suburbs, rather than clean up inner-city or "brownfield" sites. As people move out from the centre, the centre is left to the poor who cannot afford to move.

True. But when you think about it – America has gone through this before.

They are called ghost towns. It’s hard to think of Detroit as a ghost town. But ghost towns exist in America.

I’ve gone through several in Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. I always wonder who lived there. What were their lives like.

Arizona alone has over 250 ghost towns.

bitches about what Lincoln did when he freed your asses and saved you from the backwards rednecks? . . .

Again, what you posted has NOTHING to do with what I said and is totally irrelevant . . .
