I just hope they stay true to the theme and update us on today's technology ... like those HDTV's.
(Dec 24 2008) - When Trust Runs OutU.S.A. -- by Gary North : Every society and every institution rests heavily on trust. There is active trust, the result of "trust, but verify." I call this stage one trust. Then there is stage two trust, which I call default trust: "Trust, and assume that someone else has verified." Next, there is stage three trust, which I call blind trust: "Trust, because there is nothing else worth trusting." Then there stage four trust, which I call tooth fairy trust: "Trust, despite all evidence to the contrary." This form of trust is the foundation of all Ponzi schemes.

(Oct 26 2008) - Obama's spring break in PakistanU.S.A. –- By Don Fredrick : As any red-blooded American male can tell you, spring break for college students means Florida beaches and wet T-shirt contests. If what I’ve seen on the E! Network is any indication, things have gotten a lot looser than when I went to school. Still, even in the 1970s and 1980s a good time could probably be had by all. Heck, even a learned bookworm like Barack Obama might have had a little fun once in a while, right? Or did the boy-wonder spend all his waking hours studying the U. S. Constitution, looking for Presidential qualifications loopholes?

"LUCKY" Lucketta PORTERVILLE, CA -- It's been over 6 months since Congress held a "Super-Secret-Session" regarding many issues that could effect the American way of life and American society as-a-whole. Congress has yet to be forth coming since the March of 2008 meeting and by all counts, may never reveal what was discussed. However ... what leaked from this rare meeting included "the imminent collapse of the U.S. economy to occur by September 2008." So ... if congress knew about the collapse ahead of time, then so did Wall Street. And they both conspired to defraud the American people and America, all the while sheltering their concerns under "National Security".

PORTERVILLE CA. - Around 3:00pm, one of Porterville’s Peace Officers noticed that a young child was left unattended in the front driver’s seat of car parked in a lot at a local restaurant. Instinctively he stopped to check on the child and observed that the parent was inside the restaurant picking up a “To-Go” order. The child was accompanied by an older sibling – still younger than state law requires. As it turned out there were three children and one female parent, who was informed by Porterville P.D. that she needed to transport children this young and small in Child Safety seats or Child booster seats. This more-than-kind officer instructed her not to drive home this way and to contact someone who had child safety seats. To be sure, this was an accident waiting to happen. DMV records show that the number one cause for death among children ages 2 to 14 are due in large part to the nonuse or improper use of child seats and safety seats. Good looking out PPD !
(Oct 18 2008) - Was a Communist Obama’s Sex Teacher ?(www.aim.org) ACCURACY IN MEDIA EXCLUSIVE Oct 14 2008 
Senator John McCain won’t talk about Barack Obama’s racist Reverend Jeremiah Wright, an adviser to Obama for 20 years. This may be a factor in McCain losing the election. But the McCain campaign has done a few ads about Obama associate Bill Ayers. These ads, as well as the media coverage of the “radical” Ayers, fail to tell the human story of the carnage and suffering that Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, inflicted on innocent people. But even more scandalous than the relationship with Ayers and Dohrn, members of the communist terrorist Weather Underground, was Obama’s association as a young man with a Communist sex pervert, Frank Marshall Davis. Rush Limbaugh mentioned this on the air on his Tuesday radio show. It is a story that has the potential to change the course of the presidential campaign.

Roughly half of these derivatives are listed on exchanges, but the other half are on the totally unregulated, totally opaque, poorly documented and mostly naked (no reserves or collateral given to secure performance) OTC derivatives market. The subprime and Alt-A mortgage debacles, and the soon to be recognized prime mortgage debacle, are little more than a side show with what will become their one to two trillion in losses which the Phony-Fraudie nationalization and the Paulson Ponzi Plunder Plan are meant to address, albeit futilely.

It’s understood by many who work for the U.S. Forestry Service, that they could be called at any time and work for many hours and at great peril. All too often this goes without saying and all too often goes with delayed compensation.

Letter to the Editor from Corey Alvarez PORTERVILLE - Dear Editor, I am writing you today because I am concerned with the Governors proposal of Summary Parole. This should be called No parole. This is because Summary Parole is a sham. In the proposal, it states that a person who is on Summary Parole can only be violated if they are convicted of a new felony. This makes no sense. You are not going to violate a parolee if they receive a new prison term. Why would you, they are already going to prison.

In California, a Kelo-Plus amendment failed to pass in 2006 when environmental interests and Gov. Schwarzenegger opposed it.

Both bills restrict the state from seizing private land for a state approved private use. Both allow for claiming land for government/ public use, like roads and schools.
