LOL...my favorite is still the 80some odd year old woman who came home to find a young girl in her house.

The girl said she was lost, then dropped something she was stealing. Granny said,"Just hold on I am calling the cops"

The girl tried to take the phone away from her. Seemed Granny began kicking the #&%!$ out of her, then granny tossed the girl THROUGH the screen door. The girl tried to get in her car to drive away. Granny jumped on the car, reached in and between punching the girl put the car back in park, pulled the keys and threw them away.

When the cops showed up the girl ran to them for protection.....only after she was in cuffs did the cops let her in on the fact that the Granny...was a Female Marine Drill Instructor in World War II....and had been a hand to hand instructor during her time....>(LOL)

Kathleen Willey



Former White House volunteer. In a deposition for the Paula Jones case, she said that when she went to the Oval Office seeking a full-time job because of family financial problems, Clinton kissed her, touched her breast, and placed her hand on his erect #&%!$. The day after she gave testimony in the Paula Jones case, she said she found an animal skull on her porch, her cat disappeared and her car tires were slashed.
In his deposition, Clinton denied the sexual encounter, but said Willey was so emotional that her visit stood out. He suggested that he embraced her and may have kissed her on the forehead in an attempt to comfort her.

Co-worker Linda Tripp ran into Willey in the White House shortly after Willey left an Oval Office appointment with Clinton in 1993. Willey told her that Clinton had kissed and fondled her. Tripp described Willey as, quote, "disheveled. Her face was red and her lipstick was off. She was flustered, happy and joyful."

The New York Post reported that Willey told her husband she was in love with Clinton, and that the husband then killed himself (tax problems were also a cause).

Result: A great job promotion and a lot of free time in her personal life.

The Lives Of Kathleen Willey
On TV the widow had seemed unassailable. But it now appears she is tangled in untruths
By Ginia Bellafante

(TIME, March 30) -- When she appeared on 60 Minutes in all her high-cheekboned, Virginia gentry poise, Kathleen Willey looked like a woman whose most egregious lie might have been a fib about her dress size. But whether or not the former White House volunteer was telling the truth about her encounter with Bill Clinton, it seems that she has not been above baroque acts of deception.

In the summer of 1995, sources have told TIME, Willey was in the midst of a brief relationship with a British-born soccer coach whom she made the target of a bizarre ruse almost straight out of an Aaron Spelling production. In an interview with the FBI, Willey's former confidant Julie Steele has claimed that the onetime socialite told her lover, Shaun Docking, she was pregnant with his twins--even though Willey had told Steele she was not pregnant. Willey's motive? She wanted to get back at him for Fourth of July plans gone awry, Steele told the FBI. The plot grew more serpentine. Shortly after her announcement, Willey told Docking, who at 30 was 18 years her junior, that she would have an abortion. Then, on the morning of the "scheduled" procedure, she informed him she had changed her mind. Not long after, Willey had Steele call Docking and tell him she had suffered a miscarriage. According to two sources in close contact with her at the time, Willey never confessed to Docking that the pregnancy had been invented. Willey's lawyer did not return TIME's calls last week.

If there are no perfect Presidents, there are also no perfect witnesses. It is a measure of Clinton's good fortune--or careful targeting--that the women who have come forward to accuse him over the years have records just as mottled as his. But the disturbing story of twins both unborn and unconceived is the most damaging yet to a witness described as pivotal in Kenneth Starr's investigation of Clinton. For, as with Docking, Willey again asked Steele to engage in an elaborate deception, this time at the President's expense.

Steele claims Willey asked her to lie to Newsweek reporter Michael Isikoff about her alleged encounter with Clinton. Last spring Willey called Steele and asked her if Isikoff could come over to interview her. While Isikoff was on his way, Steele says, Willey called back and "told me exactly what to say." The directive: tell Isikoff the President had groped her on Nov. 29, 1993, and that Willey had rushed to Steele's house in the aftermath quite distraught. "I went along with it," Steele told TIME. "It was terrible, but Kathy and I were friends for 20 years, and she told me it wouldn't matter, that the whole thing was off the record anyway." Steele says that Willey never rushed over to see her on the day of the encounter, that she wasn't told of Willey's Oval Office visit until weeks after it occurred, that she was simply left with the impression that there might have been "mutual affection" between Clinton and Willey but nothing sexual. And Willey was not upset. Steele told her friend that Isikoff said Willey was tearful when relating the tale of the alleged groping to him. In response, Steele says, Willey laughed.

Interesting question.

We are going through a relocation of residents from one public housing neighborhood that will be sold off to a Medical College. Now this plan has been in the works since 1984 (yeah I know the US Government motto is "better late than never") in the past 2 years there have been no less than 20 meetings with residents with zip zero nada attendance.

Well the tentative agreement was reached, letters went out and BOOM reaction went bananas. NO one is getting kicked out, they will be relocated.

There was a small disturbance the other day when a woman who is third generation "leech" came in demanding she be "given a house" in one of the more posh neighborhoods. We are talking $200K or more (triple that price for major cities since a 2500 SQ Ft house goes for that here.)

Her explanation was 'I am owed it becuase my son went to the war."

Turns out (after a bit of checking) her son served in a reserve unit in Balat. This is a HUGE base in Iraq. He is a mechanic, and from reports of another soldier I know they never ....repeat NEVER ...left the base.

My question is...what do we OWE people? I keep hearing the permenant victims in life saying they are "owed" a free ride in perpetuity for this real or imagined slight in life.

I am trying to understand this mentality that says "becuase I did THIS, was associated with THIS or THIS happened to me the world owes me a living".

Personally I think this actually cheapens real success, it cheapens the individual accomplishments, and individuals who have overcome challenges to succeed.

This came up last night, one of my firefighter who has just returned from Iraq (he was Protection Force meaning he rode the highways, got IED'd got shot at, helped secure areas and really took some major crap). His opinion was "I volunteered, I went, it happened, I am home and free to pursue my success in a safe homeland.

To him all he has asked so far is that we respect what he did (i.e. support his mission) and let him live his life.

Sarge, I was sent to "interview" a woman whose son is "inappropriately using fire" in real speak, the little #&%!$ is starting fires.

During the interview it turns out she is on "disablity" for her connection with 9/11 in New York. Since 9/11 she has had classic signs of post traumatic stress. She is under a VA doctor's care (hubby took a .38 to the brain pan while drunk he was a veteran of Gulf War I)she was a 6 year and out participant who served in New Jersey in some capacity. So we ended up getting into her experience on 9/11.

I asked if she was in WTC or in the area...NO.....I asked if she was related to a firefighter or someone who died on 9/11. NO.....
She was in Brooklyn, at a BAR, having a drink. She watched it on the TV..in a BAR in as much danger as someone in Poombah South Dakota.....

But we will pay her expenses (I am guessing from the budget for treatment for either the VA or as I see it Social Security both of which are limited) in perpetuity.

A Democratic lawmaker in New Mexico wants to tax televisions and video games to raise funds to fight childhood obesity and improve education in the state, officials said Friday.
"I have asked our legislative council service to prepare the "Leave No Child Inside" bill and am hopeful that it will be ready for me to introduce on Monday," educator-turned-lawmaker Gail Chasey told AFP.

"Leave No Child Inside" -- a play on the federal education initiative "No Child Left Behind" -- is backed by grassroots environmental group, the Sierra Club.

"The bill proposes levying a one-percent excise tax on the purchase of TVs, video games and video game equipment and would create the 'Leave No Child Inside' fund to receive those revenues," Michael Casaus of the Sierra Club told AFP.

The author and sponsors of the bill, who include dozens of other organizations besides the Sierra Club, according to Casaus, expect to raise four million dollars (three million euros) a year through the tax.

The items that would be taxed have been carefully chosen because of their links to obesity and poor school performance, the Sierra Club says, citing medical studies.

Around one-quarter of New Mexico's children are obese or overweight, and just over half finish high school, said Casaus.

"The goals of the bill are to improve the academic performances of our kids, to promote a more healthy lifestyle and to provide our children with outdoor learning experiences, using our state parks and public lands as classrooms," he said.

According to a study cited by backers of the bill, hands-on, outdoor study leads to better grades among students, including in mathematics and science.

Another study has shown a 27-percent improvement in the science test scores of students who participate in outdoor education programs.

Earlier this week, a high school in the US state of Georgia launched another unique initiative to boost the math and science grades of students.

Creekside High School near Atlanta offered students money to attend remedial classes in the two subjects for 15 weeks and a monetary bonus for maintaining a "B" grade average afterwards.

Some interesting information...(oh and Libbies, if you have not worked professionally WITH the poor you are not qualified to comment)..

Select sections

Poverty is an important and emotional issue. Last year, the Census Bureau released its annual report on poverty in the United States declaring that there were nearly 35 million poor persons living in this country in 2002, a small increase from the preceding year. To understand poverty in America, it is important to look behind these numbers--to look at the actual living conditions of the individuals the government deems to be poor.


The following are facts about persons defined as "poor" by the Census Bureau, taken from various government reports:

Forty-six percent of all poor households actually own their own homes. The average home owned by persons classified as poor by the Census Bureau is a three-bedroom house with one-and-a-half baths, a garage, and a porch or patio.
Seventy-six percent of poor households have air conditioning. By contrast, 30 years ago, only 36 percent of the entire U.S. population enjoyed air conditioning.
Only 6 percent of poor households are overcrowded. More than two-thirds have more than two rooms per person.
The average poor American has more living space than the average individual living in Paris, London, Vienna, Athens, and other cities throughout Europe. (These comparisons are to the average citizens in foreign countries, not to those classified as poor.)
Nearly three-quarters of poor households own a car; 30 percent own two or more cars.
Ninety-seven percent of poor households have a color television; over half own two or more color televisions.
Seventy-eight percent have a VCR or DVD player; 62 percent have cable or satellite TV reception.
Seventy-three percent own microwave ovens, more than half have a stereo, and a third have an automatic dishwasher.

B. The MORONS who gave loans to risky applicants hoping to make a killing...(Once again they knew what they were doing.

C. The American Taxpayer..who really had doodly to do with this incident.

SO if the loans had been good and IF the loan agencies had made the anticipated PROFIT..what would we be hearing?
