Classified Ad Scam
Hey Joe.
This very generic email that doesn't mention which item the person wants (I had two posted the first week of your classifieds, nonetheless) appears to be straight out of a Craig's List scam. It doesn't mention the item and they want to pay with a certified check or money order. The part missing is paying extra for their "shipping agent," but why would they want to mail me a check if they are local to the area and they could just pick it up?
Thinking that there's good in the world, I sent a reply asking for specific info regarding the item they are interested in without giving options to see if this person just missed that part of the email. The scammers usually don't respond since they spam lots of people and can't really give much attention to specifics.
I'll keep you informed if I get any more info about this person. but I thought you may want to ask around and see if anybody else is getting emails like this. If a pattern emerges, your readers may be targeted by scammers. Perhaps you could mention a possible problem and ask your readers to send you suspicious emails to compare?

Nazi America Part II
Wymzie,
If you think that's bad, the Salisbury Police Chief did almost the exact same thing to one of his own Officers just recently, (two weeks ago) where the Officer had his Family, (wife and three children) in their home and a friend of one of the children spending the night on a sleep over.
The SPD, (5 Officers) and MD State Police showed up at their home in Somerset County, YES, Somerset County, pounded on his door at 3:00 AM, woke everyone up and served search warrants to search the entire home and property.
The charges were BULLSHIT, the Chief of the Salisbury Police Department is the same scumbag piece of sh!t as the other story you mention earlier and he KNEW his Officer had done nothing wrong. Hence finding absolutely NOTHING in their lengthy search on their home.
I could go into all the details but I'll save everyone the lengthy story. What I will tell you is, while he was at work earlier, they never once questioned him. Never asked if HE had anyone for an alibi and if they had, they would have learned instantly the charges were complete bullshit!
Nope, that's not how Chief Webster and Barrie Tilghman work. Now here's the kicker of it all. Do you think they went to the woman who falsely accused this Officer and charged her for false information? NOPE! They actually refused to do so when the Officer allegedly requested it.
So why do I have NO respect t for that piece of sh!t Webster? Because like I've said from day one, he sucks at what he does and he'll do anything to intimidate his Staff into respecting him. NOT ME! I think he SUCKS!
Bald headed man/grand jury/Annapolis/calls to Tilghman/perjury. Riddle me this Chiefy, who would have done such a thing? I've done more investigating on that case then you did on one of your own Officers. Chief Webster SUCKS at what he does.

Welcome to Nazi America!
By now I am sure that most of you have heard about the police raid conducted on the home of the Berwyn Heights, MD, Mayor and his family.
Prince Georges County Maryland Sheriffs Department SWAT Team busted through the doors of the Mayors home, shot and killed his two Labrador Retrievers, handcuffed his elderly mother in law face down on the floor next to one of the dead dogs, and sat the handcuffed Mayor on floor wearing only his boxers.
What happened to knocking on the door to serve a warrant?
For years and years we have become calloused watching shows like 'Cops' bust down alleged drug dealers doors, because of accumulated survelance and evidence gathering. We as viewers assume that these guys are bad and it's ok to do this. After all, this is in bad neighborhoods with bad people right?
Well this week it happened to an upper middle class white couple who are apparently pretty upstanding members of their community, and now, and only now is there a sound of outrage and infringement on our Constitutional Rights.
The Baltimore Sun did an excellent report on this story to read the whole article go here
Are we as Americans going to stand for this type of treatment? Is this the police state that we are going to allow to rule our lives?
Wake Up People!

Little Johnny Had it Right
A teacher in Elmira , New York asked her 6th grade class how many of them were Obama fans.
Not really knowing what an Obama fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raised their hands...except for Little Johnny.
The teacher asked Little Johnny why he had decided to be different.
Little Johnny said, 'Because I'm not an Obama fan.'
The teacher asked, 'Why aren't you an Obama fan?'
Johnny said, 'Because I'm a Republican.'
The teacher asked him why he's a Republican.
Little Johnny answered, 'Well, my Mom's a Republican and my Dad's a Republican, so I'm a Republican.'
Annoyed by this answer, the teacher asked, 'If your mom was a moron and your dad was an idiot, what would that make you?'
With a big smile, Little Johnny replied,
'An Obama fan.'

Do YOU Know What CDS Means?
In the Police Agencies, that would be a "Controlled & Dangerous Substance" DRUGS! Now CD'S might be more appropriate, wouldn't you think, for Jack's Religious Gift Shop?
My guess, that sign will change in just a few minutes.
Thoughts to Ponder, Sat 8/9

Did Noah have woodpeckers on the ark? If so, where did he keep them?
Do Chinese people get English sayings tattooed on their bodies?
What is another name for thesaurus?
