FEMA makes a huge math error...surprise surprise
Surprise, Surprise FEMA seems to make an accouting error, after storing emergency supplies for the victims of Katrina (which happens a few years ago) to the tune of just about 66.6 million dollars. Not that the real problem is, first of all, that FEMA could not figure out how to actually give the emergency supplies to the victim in the first place.
But then they gave them away to prisons, fire departments, colleges and even the agency that regulates the state's casino industry in Mississippi.
In Louisiana officials originally declined the supplies when FEMA gave them away; the state's surplus property agency told CNN it was unaware of the need.
Now the Senate and the House of non-reps will again have another hearing on Thursday to find out what went wrong, how could Homeland Security, the mother in charge of FEMA dropped the ball again......those 70,000 mobile homes are still non-mobile.
And you wonder why the people don't trust the government, why a time share salesman who is below a used car salesman rates higher then the kids in Washington. The candidates are more worried about what the other one said and the latest polls then stepping out and talking about things that matter to us regular folks......

Jury Duty Scam
Jury Duty Scam
This has been verified by the FBI (their link is also included below). Please pass this on to everyone in your email address book. It is spreading fast so be prepared should you get this call. Most of us take those summonses for jury duty seriously, but enough people skip out on their civic duty, that a new and ominous kind of fraud has surfaced.
The caller claims to be a jury coordinator. If you protest that you never received a summons for jury duty, the scammer asks you for your Social Security number and date of birth so he or she can verify the information and cancel the arrest warrant. Give out any of this information and bingo; your identity was just stolen.
The fraud has been reported so far in 11 states, including Oklahoma , Illinois , and Colorado . This (swindle) is particularly insidious because they use intimidation over the phone to try to bully people into giving information by pretending they are with the court system. The FBI and the federal court system have issued nationwide alerts on their web sites, warning consumers about the fraud.

The Buffalo Theroy.....
'Well you see, Norm, it's like this . . . A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the lowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But natur ally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.'

New Government Seal:
Official Announcement:
Dateline: Washington DC, from the office of Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Congressional Clausus, July 4th, 2008.
The federal government today announced that it is changing its emblem from an Eagle to a CONDOM because it more accurately reflects the government's political stance.. A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed!?
Damn, it just doesn't get more accurate than that.
