Bush Bashing to Become an Olympic Sport


Ever since that courageous and outraged Iraqi journalist heaved a couple of size 10 loafers at our dishonored president Bush, the Olympic Committee has been bombarded with
requests to include Bush Bashing in the next Olympics. All countries wishing to send a team are holding their Olympic trials on the Internet. So if you think you have some shoe tossing prowess. Go to Sock and Awe and try out.

2. Washington workers receiving L & I will receive a 5.018% cost of living raise beginning July 1. As a state worker for nearly 25 years, I can tell you I've NEVER seen a 5.018% raise of any kind.

1. IRS mileage rate for 1/08 through 6/30/08 is $0.505 beginning 7/1/08 it goes to $0.585 supposedly until the end of the year. But it is not beyond the realm of possibility that it could up again if gas prices continued to climb. July 1 2008


FLACK OR FRICTION

FLACK: The inability to have sex is a disability protected by the federal anti-discrimination laws. I can't make this stuff up.

This ruling by the appellate court gives a state department employee another chance at overseas employment. What I don't get and hopefully someone will explain this to me, is how being sexually incapacitated is related to State Department employment, or more particularity overseas State Department employment.

FLACK: Oh really, Proctor and Gamble won its case in the U.K.--Pringles are NOT potato chips. So says Proctor and Gamble and the UK courts agree. They have only 42% potato products in them and are not fried but rather baked from a dough. This makes it a food and not a snack--which means no 17.5% sales take for the U.K.

FRICTION---- What is this big hoopla about 900 cases of salmonella poisoning over a six-week-period over the entire nation. I mean, sure, I sorry that 900 folks got sick---but I gotta believe that is about average. Frankly, I think we have bigger problems to solve---a whole lot more than 900 people are feeling the wounds of too high gas prices, too high food prices, and a president who says "he feels our pain". Even if we find out how this salmonella was spread--it won't stop salmonella--it will happen again--it's nature. So call me and alarm me when it is 900 people in one city that are sick---that is a REAL problem.
