radioactive lunch

first before i start i just want to say this happened in tucson. and that this guy lives in tucson so you can pretty much expect anything. so the director of the arizona radiation regulatory agency stated tuesday that they lost a moisture-density gauge in the tucson area. now they didn't say they left it somewhere or that it was stolen. no, they stated that it wasn't tied down in the back of a pickup truck correctly. ok, so radioactive materials in a pickup truck. secondly the director stated that the gauge contains radioactive material that could injure someone who eats it or carries it for a long time. because that's the first thing that runs through my mind every time i see a metal box glowing green in the middle of the road with stickers on it that say radioactive is...lunch. i don't know if that's the first thing that came to his mind during his speech or that he just thought the citizens of tucson would be tempted to eat it. i don't know.

gee mom whats this gauge thing i found out there on that road. hey i think i'll eat it!

whatever.

do you want to rent a room at the white house?

so az lawmakers are considering selling public buildings and renting them from investors. now doesn't that just sound pathetic? the az government can't afford our own capitol building! other potential "candidates" range from state prisons and the mental hospital to run-of-the-mill state office buildings and kartchner national park. ok so we'll start the bidding for the mental hospital at 4 million. anybody? anybody? nobody?

i mean i do know that this will raise money if anyone decides to buy i just think this makes our reputation plummet like obama's rating (cough) i mean like our national debt. oh wait.

and now it's time for "immigration reform with napolitano"

napolitano met with representatives from different work industries to discuss illegal immigration. she has stated many times that there are no effective laws to prevent illegal immigration. so she completely messes up az and now moves on to the u.s. just give her time. she'll mess it up. she tells sheriff joe he can't enforce the laws and takes away most of what he has as a sheriff - funding, officers, rights - then makes more laws because the ones in place that can't be enforced for some reason don't work. she'll figure it out. maybe.

napolitano v. arpaio

so with another crime sweep underway there is already a feud between the sheriff's office and the department of homeland security. so 68 people have been arrested so far, 32 illegal immigrants. and according to sheriff joe arpaio 9 of those he was ordered to let go. now in response dhs (in which joe has a friend, napolitano) stated that they didn't order any such thing and that the authority lies solely with the mcso. now, who do i believe, hmmmm. the person who yelled at napolitano to her face about getting in the way of his job or dhs aka janet napolitano? hmmm.

the illegals have one, now border patrol has one

i think that if the illegals have catapults so should border patrol. because another car accident involving illegals went down this weekend in sierra vista. well actually 25 illegals. so apparently it was a one car accident and basically they chose the wrong person to drive, and the car flipped over. now here's what bugs me. 16 of them were seriously hurt so where do they go? to our local hospitals (your tax dollars at work). so again with the catapult, i think if they want to come to america and use catapults, then we should also use them, because we want them in mexico. i say we put the whole car on the catapult, just leave the accident as is, and shoot them back over at no expense to us.

chocolate jesus

So the Catholic League's Bill Donohur is back, this time to decry a sculpture of a nude 6-foot-tall chocolate Jesus in the art gallery of a Manhattan hotel, he called it: "one of the worst assaults on Christian sensebilities ever."
In the CNN Anderson Cooper 360 Donohue debates and threatns the artist, Cosimo Cavallaro on this video. The hotle has already decided to shut down the exibit because of "public outcry" and "fear for their... safety." According to the galleries Matt Semler(who resigned in protest) the hotel has been getting death threats.
That's funny, the last time Donohuewas out ranting about offenses to Catholics, the targets of his ire at the time ended up getting death threats as well.
Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that Donohues's followers are the very people issuing the death threats (cough cough).. just that his appeals are somehow always included by, shall we say, some of the more extreme elements in Catholicism.

"duh" headline of the decade

so this past week the news did a story on a headline that affects the whole valley, coyotes. now there's not a problem with people getting attacked by coyotes. no it's not that. the headline was "House cats big target for valley coyotes". now I have one comment on this... duh.

death at the happiest place in the universe

i am really getting frustrated with the people complaining about the crashes with the lightrail. because not once has it been two lightrails hitting each other. it's either somebody walking on the tracks or parking there car on the tracks. if you think about it, there really isn't a way for the lightrail to be at fault in an accident because its on tracks, it go's really only two speeds (stopped and moving) and it only goes one way.

others have complained they can't see the tracks from there cars. are you serious? first of all if you've ever driven over train tracks, you can feel it. second of all there are cement medians separating the lanes.

now a different story in florida. have you heard about the disney world monorail crash? these guys have and excuse because whoever was in charge of planning this is at fault. because unlike the lightrails here, the disney world monorails have only one route. so only one rail car can be on the tracks at a time. the damage was pretty severe to the rail cars but besides the death of the monorail driver everyone on board was fine.


p.s.- i was thinking and if dyingland, i mean disneyland is suppose to be the happiest place on earth (before the day of the accident) why don't they just say happiest place in the universe. because if it beat everything on earth i don't think there's much competition on mars.

profilings like a box of chocolates...

have you seen these articles out recently about how an investigation/lawsuit has cost the taxpayers a lot of money for all the times sheriff joe's gotten sued. they're actually blaming sheriff joe for it! and now people are looking at sheriff joe negatively because he's using taxpayers' money to sue the people who are constantly using taxpayers money to sue him.

anyway the thing is, is that sheriff joe has stated clearly and nobody has been able to prove that he's been profiling. and why is that? because HE'S NOT PROFILING! and why doesn't he? because it doesn't work! it's like trying to find your favorite chocolates in a box of chocolates after you've lost the the key that comes inside the box. you think you know what you got but it never works, or at least not all the time. and why doesn't it work? because you can't tell whats on the inside from the outside. you can think that someone's illegal because they're mexican but the fact of the matter is that you can't know if they're really filled with carmel unless you try it.

there goes independence this independence day

Have you heard about this tax by the mile crap? I know for a fact that Obama said during his campaign that he would not raise taxes. So instead of acknowledging that he lied he’s letting the Bush tax cuts expire and is creating new ridiculous taxes such as tax by the mile.
Now it’s not really a fuel tax, it’s a “freedom tax”. And in Iowa they have been experimenting on this tax by the mile.

Now here’s how it works. The government puts a gps device on your car which monitors how many miles per month you drive and sends the info to the “monitoring station” which sends the info to a “billing center”. So for me it’s not only the fact that we’re getting charged to drive which is one of our freedoms, but also the fact that the government will know where you are and where you’ve been. I think it’s a privacy thing. So I’ll say it again. We are losing our freedoms, little by little.

and most of this comes because we gave the presidency to a guy who never had a real job…

we might as well tape our freedom to the newly legal fireworks we use this weekend and launch them away.
