Convicted Killers Chosen over Gays

It is no secret that the US army and The Marine Corps have been under pressure to raise their numbers because of the Iraq war, So, what have they been doing about it? Increasing the number of convicted felons into the ranks. The Army more than doubled its felon admittance, while the Marines admittance of convicted felons went up by 1/3. Most of the crimes related to the admittances where burglaries and drug offences, but several dozen involved aggravated assault and weapons charges. In addition 9 involved sex crimes, and 6 involved manslaughter.
While the armed forces are hurting so bad for troops they have to go picking through the slum, it does not stop them from discharging 2 people EVERY DAY for being gay or lesbian. In the 10 years that “don’t ask don’t tell” has been in place more then 10,000 personal have been discharged as a result; including 800 deemed “mission critical” such as pilots, combat engineers, and linguists. A study conducted last year indicated that the military could enlist 41,000 new recruits if they lifted the ban put in place by DADT but instead they prefer to let murders defend our great nations freedoms. Better a killer then a homo.

Internet Scammers Getting Desprite

I was the intended victim of a check fraud scam this morning. I had been contacted through a website about my services as a nanny and asked to work a wedding the evening of April 26th. Once the “wedding planner” (went by the name of David Edward) and I agreed on a fee, he told me I would receive a check in the male shortly covering my costs. Later that week he Emailed me and told me there had been a complication with the check. He said the groom had miss understood and sent me a check for not only my expenses but also the money that was supposed to be for the wedding planner. He then asked if I would mind kindly depositing the check and whirring him his portion of the money so that he was able to pay the proper people. I said I would be happy to send him his portion of the money when I received the check, and I had every intention of doing so, until the check actually came. The check was mailed via UPS and I was forced to go an pick at a local office. Upon arriving I was told that my delivery was still out on the truck and that I would have to come back later, but as I was walking out the door a lady handed me a phone and said this is for you. Now who could be calling me at a UPS? It was there director of security. He promptly told me that he apologized for the dishonesty but they had the check in question but that there was a problem. It was a fake. My package had a rived along with a number of other fraudulent checks and so had been open and verified. They found it was made under a closed account. Upon my inspection of the check I noticed the hand writing did not match, the paper was incredibly thin, and the names and states on check, envelope, and initial Job inquiry where all different. I was grateful to UPS for being on the look out and headed directly to the Belleville Police Department to file a report.
Where did the time go when predators waited patiently on the sidelines for an unsuspecting customer to fall into there laps? No more folks, now they come to you. Well this one picked the wrong not so unsuspecting girl. Warning to all who do transactions on the net, If something smells fishy it is, and even is it doesn’t, it could be.

Freedom of Expreshion meet Stupidity...

OK any one who has ever even seen me on the street knows I am all for freedom of expression but come on people, use your heads! There is a war going on people in case you hadn't heard, and it is with a Muslim nation! I know i just posted like a few hours ago but this got to me. Dutch Government Raises Terror Level Ahead Of Film Slamming Quran As Violent, Anti-Gay, Anti-Female I am not Muslim, I am not Christian, i am all for freedom of speech and slamming who ever and what ever you want, but tell me this: What goes threw your head when you decide it is a good idea to release a 15 min film all about the Qur'an being "'fascist' because it is used by extremists to incite violence and preaches oppression of women and gays."

First of all if your going to make a movie that's going to put you on the terrorist hot list why don't you get your facts strate! Why die for a bogus cause? The Qur'an is not the enemy any more then the Bible is. Extremists will take anything and turn it around to mean what ever they want it to, it does not make it true. There are people that believe the Bible says women are only meant to be wives but I have yet to find that passage. Any way all I am saying is if your going to use your freedom to be stupid maybe you don't deserve it!

Its Up to Michigan for Once and Florida Again

So we're coming up on the final stretches of the 2008 presidential primaries and the Democratic spot is still up for grabs. Clinton is trailing Obama by a slim margin and is looking to us for help. Clinton Won the Michigan and Florida primaries but the national party refuses to count our votes because we went against policy and held the elections early. Now that the election is so close both Michigan and Florida governors are teaming up to make sure there delegates are seated at the convention.

A compromise is being mulled over between the states and the national party. The thought of a do-over election is being purposed, where the out come would be honored. Both Clinton and Obama have said they would be willing to participate in the do over elections. Michigan's Governor Granholm is considering a kind of "firehouse" election instead of a traditional primary or caucus. The Firehouse election would have fewer polling stations and shorter voting hours, significantly cutting down on cost. Florida Governor Crist, says he would be willing to hold another primary but only if the Democratic national party foots the bill. Crist, says Florida tax payers should not have to pay for the Chance to have there votes counted again. the estimated cost for Florida to re hold their primary is $25 million.
