You need a Mastercard to get out of the warzone.

Isn't just like the government to pay $1,000 for a toilet seat, spend millions on dollars on military equipment (i.e.. Sgt. York Tank), spend money on bridges to nowhere (in Alaska), pretty much act like a spaz with Katrina hit last year, and now this:  with thousand of Americans now in harms way of the conflict between Israel and Lebanon, the US is asking all American evacuees to promise to pay the government back for getting them out of there.

 

Just a short time ago it was announced that " the Bush administration is waiving the requirement that Americans had to pay or reimburse the government for being evacuated from Lebanon."  Wow!  It didn't take an act of Congress to waive this fee?  I'd like to say this was a great move, however, that fact that it was even news that the government was going to charge these people to get out of this combat zone is pitiful. 

The Naked Mechanic

I've gone to a few mechanics in my time.  While most of them showed a little butt-crack (no, i wasn't trying to look, but, damm!  it's like watching a car-wreck.  can't they get better fitting clothes, or a wear a belt?), I never came across one that had to face "charges of public nudity and indecent exposure after neighbors put a stop to some unusual car repairs."  It seems this guy like to repair cars in his birthday suit!   One of his neighbors is quoted as saying ""He goes outside in his yard and just walks around naked as a jay bird", while another said "I'm seven months pregnant and I wouldn't want my daughter coming outside and seeing an old man naked working in the yard, you know?"  

Heck, I'm a 35 year old non-preggers man, and I don't wan to see that!  Nasty! Nasty!

Axl Just Being Axl

Nothing says "I'm a rock star" more that being accused of "biting a security guard in the leg".  Speaking of which, who would pay money to see Axl Rose perform?  It's not 1989, and last time I checked, Guns N Roses was pretty much broken up.   In any case it's nice to see Axl in the news.
