Friday Follies...

Another dose of "those stories" to start of your weekend. So toss some more sugar in the coffee, and let's get rolling, shall we?

Immigration "Reform"?
Looks like about 12 MILLION immigrants will get the "lucky-dog" pass with the new immigration laws put forth by the government. It's hailed as the "most significant change in the nation's immigration system in 41 years" (rolls eyes). It calls for work programs, fences to be built, yada, yada, yada....

OK...let's do some math here. We're giving a "pass" to 12 million illegals, and we're told that 30 million have entered this nation in the past decade. So that would mean that from...say 1947 (60 years) when we had about 4-5 MILLION illegals ALREADY here....that "should" work out to about roughly a million a year (then). And if we take that average...we've got more like around SIXTY MILLION illegals here (conservatively speaking)....instead of a "mere" 30 million (and their offspring). The GAO in Washington could use some remedial help!

This reform is misplaced...they need a MATH coach instead.

Local Fireworks Law Strictest Around...
Another BS session (imho). When the hell did this city acquire THIRTEEN "holidays" that require setting off fireworks anyway? Are we THAT desperate for diversions that we NEED to play with potentially dangerous materials THAT badly? Don't we have enough illegal GUNS on the streets for people to play with already? And what about all the domestic violence? I guess some people aren't satisfied with knockin' the "ball and chain" around a few times a week while swilling down a 40oz....better to chase her around the block tossing firecrackers at her instead (this really happened last year with a "neighbor"...I kid you not..but that's OK, it's just their "culture" I guess).

I'll make this law REAL simple: ONLY on July 4th and New Years Eve (2 frigging days) can you use SPARKLERS and small firecrackers...period. Everything else is BANNED. You want large ordinance to detonate...move elsewhere (or join the military - field artillery branch or EOD). NO exceptions. Leave the REAL fireworks TO THE PROFESSIONALS!

How (not) To Rob A Person...
A Fort Wayne man was sentenced to 24 years in prison for having handwritten notes on how to rob a pizza deliveryman. Talk about a "crib-sheet", eh? And this guy wasn't a youngster...he is 43 years old! Someone's got WAY too much time on THEIR hands (and now he has even more in a much smaller room...heh, heh, heh). Thanks to an officer posing as a Marco's deliveryman who arrested the perp, they found sheets of paper on which was written TURN OFF CAR, GIVE ME KEYS, GIVE ME CELL, GIVE ME MONEY and PIZZA in large letters (probably written in CRAYON as well). Have fun being the new "bitch" in cellblock "D", son...you earned it! I hope you like "pepperoni" to go with your "pizzas".

And lastly, in lieu of the license plate above, we have this:

BMV Worker Busted Making Illegal IDs...
An Indy worker at the BMV (where a safe was stolen this week) was held on charges of issuing false IDs. Seems one Tathea Dixon-Smith (26) is looking at fellony forgery, identity deception, and official misconduct (it's OK though...it's just part of her "culture"). There appears to be no connection between the safe theft (with over $26K in it) and Ms Dixon-Smith's conduct. She was suspended (well, that's good to know) from her job as a customer service associate (when did we go from representative to associate?). I'll bet Tathea is not going to be worried about HER license for a while now, eh?

So there you go....all the news that's fit to print (or is that print to fit?)
In any event, have a safe weekend, take your heart medication when going to the gas pumps, and stop by an auto parts shop and buy a damn locking gas cap....you sure don't want to wind up GIVING some jerk (with a siphon hose) a reason to drive at YOUR expense...do you?

Stay Safe out there and buckle up...it's the (dumb-ass) law!
