Current Events - March 2007

Below is some part of the newspaper article:

In an incident that at first left police incredulous, two men were charged Thursday in Southington with shooting a man in the leg with a blowgun. Police said the man was shot as he walked out of a store on Queen Street.

The man was one of three people shot apparently at random in the space of half an hour Thursday in Plainville and Southington. In all three cases, the attackers drove past their victim as they fired, police said.

Arrested were Jason Plourde, 27, of Waterbury, and Edward Youle, 33, of Southington. Police said they found three blowguns and a box of darts in their sport-utility vehicle.

"They thought it was funny," Southington Police spokesman Sgt. Lowell DePalma said.

No one was seriously hurt, but one of the victims in Plainville went to the hospital to get a tetanus shot, said Plainville police Lt. Brian Mullins.

The attacks occurred on busy stretches of road, and the two in Plainville occurred less than half a mile apart.

A few minutes later, a woman pumping gas at a service station a short distance from the shopping center was hit in the back.

Does Bush think terrorists are stupid enough to place a bomb in their bag. Most bombs are attached to the body.
Also the subway has thousands of openings that terrorists can get thru with no detection. Does Bush think manning only the busy openings is going to stop a terrorist?

George Bush goes to a primary school to talk about the war. After his talk he offers question time. One little boy puts up his hand and George asks him what his name is.

'Billy.'

'And what is your question, Billy?

'I have 3 questions. First, why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN? Second, why are you President when Al Gore got more votes? And third, whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden?'

Just then the bell rings for recess. George Bush informs the kiddies that they will continue after recess. When they resume George says, "OK, where were we? Oh that's right question time. Who has a question?"

Another little boy puts up his hand. George points him out and asks him what his name is.

'Steve'

'And what is your question, Steve?'

'I have 5 questions. First, why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN? Second, why are you President when Al Gore got more votes? Third, whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden? Fourth, why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes early? And fifth, what the f... happened to Billy?'

According to Mr. O'Reilly - Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Agency ,in the summer of 2003, launched Operation Predator to target individuals who make and consume child pornography worldwide. It is expensive to purchase and, because of the Internet, the distribution of this evil material has become easy. Have a credit card, you can get it.

One of those who used a credit card to purchase child porn is attorney Charles Rust-Tierney, the former President of the American Civil Liberties Union in Virginia. Tierney was arrested and charged on February 23rd.

The New York Times ignored the story entirely. So did NBC News, CBS News, CNN and ABC News.

Opinions?? Is it an important issue or are there more important things to worry about besides child pornography?
Was this man really protecting your rights or his own need for child porn ,when in his ACLU positionhe fought against any filtering of objectionable material in VA libraries?

Things in our world are not good these days. Things were so much happier back in the '90s. We weren't at war, our government was not nearly as corrupt and deceptive as it is now, etc. I kinda wish we could bring that decade back. It's hard to believe this decade "the zeros" is almost over.

Does anyone agree with me?

If your children is not doing well in school its the teacher's fault. If your child is fat, its McDonald's fault. If your child has bad behavior, its automatically because of ADD. Its so funny because most of the people who complain and lobby are BAD parents.
Now there is a news stating that several parents and lobbyist are attacking Pizza Hut's read a book program. I'm really disgusted on what this country has become. Some idiot writer said we shouldn't use reward (especially pizza) to make children read because that takes away from the true value of reading books. Maybe all people in the United States should stop attending college because the reward (good job, higher pay) is clouding the true reason of "desire to gain knowlege" by going to college. I wonder how many people would pay $40,000 to go to college if you get knowledge but you don't get a higher pay or better job.

Pizza Hut doesn't make children fat, Parents do!!!!!

I was listening to Barack on the radio the other day,he actually sounded like a decent guy and a good candidate if you believe what he says but does he stand a chance of being President? I don't think so,if for no other reason than that both parties seem to be trying to eat their young on this election and I don't think he has the strong enough credentials to survive it. So does he end up being Hillary's VP? I hope neither of them win if for no other reason than the fact that my taxes would at least double if either one of thems elected in order to pay on the huge debt the current Dipshit in Chief has built up and so they can start all their social programs they want like National Health Care,might be a great deal for the non working people of the US but it will suck the life out of working people. But who do you think wins,my personal opinion is that neither of them is electable without the other,which makes Obama VP because I know Hillary isn't going to take back seat to anyone.
