| Math-challenged Sheriff Joe Arpaio can’t account for the $41 million ...
Magedson began distributing a flier, promising, for $250, to help people fight against a corrupt City Hall or companies that had screwed them. He says he never actually charged the fee; instead, he used it to weed out people who weren't serious about pursuing their claims. He began to hone a process of just how to fight The Man, to develop a formula that really worked. He was planning to write a book. (Today he sells that book, a slim paperback, from the Rip-Off Report for $21.95. Not to give away a trade secret, but the formula basically comes down to threats to picket, and then picketing.) One day in the mid-'90s, visiting a shop owned by some of his former swap-meet tenants, he says, he met a woman who designed Web sites. Hearing about his unusual line of work, she asked him, "Why don't you make a Web site?" And that was the start.
Romney Says He Will Penalize States With Sanctuary Cities, Driver's ...
ATKINSON, N.H. Republican Mitt Romney tried to link rivals Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Rodham Clinton on Friday, suggesting the two share a "sanctuary state of mind" when it comes to illegal immigration. First in a new TV ad and then on the stump, the former Massachusetts governor accused Clinton, a Democratic senator from New York, of favoring amnesty for the more than 10 million illegal immigrants already in the country. He also criticized Giuliani, a fellow Republican, for encouraging illegal immigration by discouraging their prosecution while he was mayor of New York. "I think that sanctuary state of mind has to end in this country," Romney said after speaking to voters at a local farmstand. He suggested retracting federal funding for cities that harbor illegal immigrants and for states that provide driver's licenses and in-state tuition rates for their children.
Teachers leave Houghton for classrooms on Alaskan island
Literally it is right in the middle, but it's also where people go for their recreation," Nikki Lishinski said. Movies are shown there. School carnivals are a big draw. Sometimes, the school has Pizza Hut pizzas flown in for fund-raisers and these command hefty prices. "People will pay $25 for a pizza, easily," Williams said. Crowds come out for high school basketball games, too, though the Sea Parrots have to be creative to find opponents so far from the mainland. "The high school basketball team will play the Coast Guard, they'll play the teachers," Steve Lishinski said. The big rivalry is with the Seal Pups, the team from St. George. "The competitive spirit is definitely there," Steve Lishinski said.
Hip-Hop Rumors: We Don't Need No Rumors Today!
I would like to quickly clarify what happened at the Kanye West show in California. Actually, it was a Common show that Kanye popped up on. Last week I said that Kanye dissed the Grammys. Well, it wasn't at the Anaheim show like I said. This apparently occurred at the Hollywood show at the House of Blues. I wasn't there so I didn't hear it or anything. Also, I heard that in a third verse freestyle, Kanye said “I beat 50."
Thanks a lot, Peter!! (See the pics down below)
EMINEM RUMORS FALSE
There was another crappy Eminem rumor coming out that the Detroit rapper was going to be wrestling in the WWE. Shame on you if you believed that one. It was refuted faster than any other rumor in the history of man.

Tax cut adds fuel to fire services’ budget crunch
My grandkids like to look at the fire trucks.. so when we get a chance we visit the stations and the kids ask questions. As far as over staffed due to the amount of fires they have.. give me a break.. If that is all you think they do.. then I understand why your name is joker.. cause you didnt pay attention to get the right information.. Alot of the fire departments around here are now crossed trained as paramedics.. So they dont just sit around until a fire happens.. They also goto calls if some one is having a heart attack or injured.. Most of the fire departments in Lee County have paramedics on the fire trucks now.. I found out why too.. because the ambulance is not always in the area to respond.. but the fire department is staffed with the men and women with the same training..
