The Taxman Cometh

Always willing to be public servents...we here at PTB suggest a solution to a problem


Check it - @ $195 per pop...the STATE can hire the homeless for minimum wage and train 'em to be pedestrians. That way, the downtrodden have jobs and the STATE has its tax revenue. Just a thought though.

Making No Sense Whatsoever

Almost every time an elected official opens his or her mouth lately, something utterly ridiculous pops out. Today's case in point: University Regent Stavros Anthony. It seems this government-cheesehead thinks that higher education employees should be allowed to become armed reserve police officers! EEEK! If one BSC motherhubbard with a couple of guns can do this...what kind of havoc can be wrought if everyone had a gun? Would you trust underpaid, unappreciated, stressed out professorial types to protect you in a firefight? It seems to me that the more folks out there packin' heat, the more likely the chance of something going terribly wrong.

Three Things That Didn't...

You know, it's hard to be a smart-ass when it comes to tragedy. Last week's massacre at Virginia Tech was definitely a tragedy but I'd like to make a few points:


1. It was NOT God's will that this happened. Evangelist Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association said that the killer at Virginia Tech University, was "filled with evil,” and that "Satan is responsible for last week's mass killings. "Kids are questioning, ‘Did God abandon us? Why did God allow this to happen?'" By blaming this tragedy on God's will or the devil is a weak attempt to assign blame where there is none. Besides, I know that the invisible man up in the sky only cares about Super Bowl winners, boxing champions and Olympic medalists. Click the links and prove me right.


2. Video Games are getting the finger as well. Appearing on The Larry King Show, "psychologist" (and PTB uses that term loosely) "Dr. Phil" said, "Common sense tells you that if these kids are playing video games, where they're on a mass killing spree in a video game, it's glamorized on the big screen, it's become part of the fiber of our society." To quote XXX, "He's (Senator Richard "Dick" Hotchkiss) the guy who wants to pull every video game off every shop in the country, because he feels that the video games diminishing intelligence of our youth. Come on, Dick... It's only education we got."
One quick observation...if video games make people so crazy, and millions of kids AND adults play 'em, why don't we have more massacres?
