the grand canyon state to become "the grand canyon state"

since there's nothing better for the state house government committee to discuss they have decided to put something ever so important up for vote, to officially name arizona the grand canyon state. first, i thought we already went over this. second, the funny thing is how they realized nothing was "officially" put in the books (except every book about az nicknaming us the grand canyon state).

apparently nobody knew that it wasn't official until a state historian got a call from a 5th grader in california wanting to know the state nickname. first of all, has this kid heard of google? go try it yourself, type "arizona nickname" and you'll probably see something along the lines of, oh, i don't know the grand canyon state! and second of all, who's stupid enough to do a report about arizona? what's in arizona? "oh, daddy, daddy can we go see tent city, pppllleeeaaassseee?" "no johnny we have better things to see like... tumbleweeds... oohh! i see one, johnny stay here i need to get a picture!"

in other news to be discussed during their next meeting...
"should the bola tie stay the official arizona neckware?"
TUNE IN NEXT WEEK TO FIND OUT!

what are you afraid of?

i recently found a web site that listed almost all the phobias there are and it's quite interesting.

Anglophobia- Fear of England or English culture. (are they really that bad?)

Anablephobia- Fear of looking up. (i can't think of anything to say to that)

Anthrophobia or Anthophobia- Fear of flowers.

AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

Chronophobia- Fear of time (and how exactly do you avoid time?)(AAHH!! i said the word!)

Consecotaleophobia- Fear of chopsticks (again i'm speechless)

Nucleomituphobia- Fear of nuclear weapons (isn't everybody?)

Sesquipedalophobia- Fear of long words (so does this person tell others of his phobia?)

Zemmiphobia- Fear of the great mole rat (and so would i if i saw this thing)

is that all you can think of?

the inmate hunger strike was in response to the march in downtown phoenix to protest racial discrimination in the sheriff's office and what not. anyways i came across an interesting picture taken at the protest.

honestly? is that the best you can come up with? so if we get rid of all illegals, then, in return we get social security that will last, lower taxes and faster health care for u.s. citizens and all we have to give up is burritos? who needs to think twice? we have white burrito makers. so they're saying they'll take their burritos back to mexico and we can have our country back? sign me up i'm in! do you see america? we have nothing (but burritos) to lose, and everything to gain...

so why haven't they left yet?

senseless strike

so i think there is some confusion on the point of a "strike". the point of a strike is to boycott a service or product therefore forcing the business to lo'se money. here's the thing. if the business is paying for the product anyway, then they save money. for instance, say the maricopa county inmates go on a hunger strike. then what happens? well if the government pays for your food in the first place then it just saves them money.

so if the meals at the county jails cost 17 cents and only 1800 people participated in the 19 day strike then the government saves around $5,800. so we can use that to help pay off...

$11,310,917,356,701.89*

oh yeah that.

so thank you residents of the maricopa jails, for making the u.s. a better place to live by giving to the country.

"We have these guys in jails who are charged with murder, rape, and they don't like the food," said Arpaio. "Well, that's a little tough. I'm not going to give in. I won't change the menu."

you tell 'em joe.




* national debt as of 5/22/09 2358 hours (yes i put the date and time because the government's spending increases by 3.82 billion a day.

oh so close

yet again we were so close to getting something besides a fence for a border. bush ordered the construction of numerous walls and barriers at the border, because maybe washington realized that a fence doesn't keep people out. even the zoo has barbed wire fences around their property to keep people out. isn't it pathetic if we protect our zoos better than our nation?

a federal judge has thrown out the order bush gave to build 667 miles of walls and barriers. now not only that but 625 miles of that are already up. can we not just finish that up? did the turtles use all the stimulus bill money? is washington afraid that if we build the other 42 miles the nation will go into debt? oh wait, i'm sorry, more debt.

because the national debt is:
$11,281,279,274,421.33
and counting!

But the good news is that since the estimated population of the United States is 306,198,919 each citizen's share of this debt is only $36,842.97!

another reason not to go to virginia

with obama ordering gitmo to close in the next year people have been asking "where do we put them?". and now thanks to a brilliant member of congress our questions have been answered, we now know where to put the 245 terrorist, alexander river virginia. now first of all alexander river is a little less then 150 miles away from our nations capitol. well i quess al qaeda's gods are listening because i really don't see how much easier we can make it for them. 

i mean can janet just go down there and hand them a bomb and a couple of ak's and get it over with, because it's getting to the point were the other nations are laughing at us. i don't think i have ever heard of another country taking terrorist who wants to destroy them and give them a house 143 miles from the president of that country! 

im pretty sure the hardest part of a terrorist bombing the u.s. is getting here. so we have gone and done the hardest part for them.

thank you congress, thank you obama

drop house #654821 found

i'm just kidding, but it probably is a very high number. on tuesday a headline in the arizona republic said "DPS rescues 34 immigrants from drop house". now first of all 34 doesn't sound like a lot for a normal drop house. border patrol found 11 people in a '97 saturn. the illegals were found in the trunk, under a fake floor and, oh yeah, in the dashboard. so if they only found 34 then they obviously didn't check in the walls and under the carpet.

and second of all if they came here illegally then the last people they want to be rescued by is law enforcement. so after the long drive in the dashboard and the 3 months they stayed in the walls the last thing they were probably doing was celebrating their "rescue", because now, as we well know, they have to do it all over again. and repeat as necessary until they don't get "rescued" (caught).

so the proper headline should have been "34 illegal immigrants were found and arrested at an avondale home on tuesday."

then what are they?

about 1000 men, women and children marched in downtown phoenix saturday protesting sheriff joe. one person channel 12 interviewed said "just cause they're not legally here doesn't mean there illegal." ok...hmmm...well then what are they? sorry to break it to you, but if they are not legal then process of elimination tells us, they ARE illegal. because there are two ways to be here, legally or illegally.

another group held up a big sign that said "stop deporting our future leaders". just to let you know if you're here legally then we don't deport you, and if you are illegal then LEGALLY you can't hold office(and we'll deport you). so basically we don't deport anybody who can hold office.

others held signs saying "we are human". that's true but your not suppose to be here so be human in mexico. it doesn't matter what race, religion or sex you are, you can come to america LEGALLY or we send you back, we send you back no matter who you are.

and the funny part is that sheriff joe stops people with broken tail lights and expired tags. so if all the drug dealers, coyotes, and illegals kept up their car, they'd be fine. so really its a matter of stupidity. because i know the drug cartel can afford to fix a tail light they just choose not to. so we deport them.
