Look out for this!
My daughter just got home from work and told me that a deputy came to the store at which she works and advised her supervisor to have all of the employees exercise caution and be on the look out for a white or gray van or SUV being occupied by two black males and a white female that had just robbed two stores in Salisbury at gunpoint. Although the vehicle description was vague, it was an excellent job of getting the word out on any vehicles acting suspiciously that fit a general description. Be careful people, I imagine it's going to get worse before it gets better.
Sports News
NASCAR NEWS...Jeff Gordon fires his entire pit crew.......
This announcement followed Gordon's decision to take advantage of the government's program to employ Harlem youngsters.
The decision to hire them was brought about by a recent documentary on how unemployed youths from Harlem were able to remove a set of wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Gordon's existing crew could only do it in 8 seconds with millions of dollars worth of high tech equipment.
It was thought to be an excellent and bold move by Gordon's management team as most races are won or lost in the pits.
However-Gordon got more than he bargained for! At the crew's first practice session, not only was the Inexperienced crew able to change all 4 wheels in under 6 seconds, but within 12 seconds they had changed the paint scheme, altered the VIN number, and sold the car to Dale Jr. for 10 cases of Bud, a bag of weed, and some photos of Jeff Gordon's wife in the shower.
Don't shoot the messenger, it's a joke.
SPD Dispatcher Refuses To Send Officer
An elderly woman called the SPD around 2:30 PM today to ask if an Officer could come to her location and investigate something she felt worthy looking into.
The caller lives in Moss Hill and had found a syringe lying right on the ground next to her home. She made the call to the SPD and they allegedly said, just throw it in the trash.
Here we are told to stay far away from such said items as no one has a clue as to if this thing is carrying aids or what have you. I mean, how often have you come across a needle just lying on the ground? Did you pick it up? Would you tell you Wife or Child to pick it up? Would you tell your Mother or Grandmother to pick it up?
The quality of service offered from the SPD simply SUCKS any more and these people are being trained to give these kind of answers. Sorry, we know your taxes went through the roof! We know you gave us additional pay! We Are the SPD and we just don't give a sh!t.
Soon enough the Mayor & SPD will be handing out plastic bottles to the elderly like they give out condoms to kids. Here, you Idiot, PICK IT UP and put it in here. Now leave us alone, we've got fresh donuts some junkie just dropped off sitting at the front desk. There's instruction on the bottle if you need to know anything else. Oh, by the way, if the needle pokes you, DON'T CALL US, CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. The number is on the bottle too.
Why do you want to know why the Mayor's picture is on the other side of the bottle Lady? These used to be donation jars that were given to her when she was running for Mayor. She's not running again and advised us to put them back to their original use after the fine work she did after all these years.
Keep up the good work SPD!
NOW YOU KNOW WHY CRIME IS DOWN 7 %!
Yeah, a, lady, just get someone to help you lift the body and dump it into a dumpster. It's cold enough out right now to keep things fresh and we'll drop by, oh, let's say in a few hours to investigate. If you don't see us out there, know we'll meet up with the body at the landfill. 10-4 there lady? Thanks for being such a good sport.

FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY !
In Florida , an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover Holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians, Jews and observances of their holy days. The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized Days. The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel declaring,"Case Dismissed!"
The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying, "Your honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and others. The Jews have Passover,Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays."
The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, "But you do. Your client, counsel, is woefully ignorant."
The lawyer said, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists."
The judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is April Fools Day. Psalm 14:1 states, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.' Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that if your client says there is no God, Then he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is his day. Court is adjourned.

Quote of the Day
"Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests". ~ George Washington (1732-1799)
Founding Father, 1st US President, 'Father of the Country' -Source: Farewell Address, September 17, 1796, Ref: George Washington: A Collection, W.B. Allen, ed. (521)

Tekkies for Obama ???
Obama's planned economic stimulus efforts have been compared to those of former President Franklin D. Roosevelt,such as CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) and WPA (Works Progress Administration),in that it is meant to rebuild and strengthen our nations public spaces,roadways and other infrastructure as well as provide numerous jobs at a time when companies are shutting down and unemployment levels remain at record highs. In the process, it is hoped that our country will once again be lifted out of a crippling economic downturn and some prosperity restored. Many public facilities right here on the Eastern Shore were constructed by WPA and CCC workers ( Mr. Chevalier could tell you better than I which ones). Another of FDR's agencies, REA (Rural Electrification Agency) brought electric power for the first time to many farm families on Delmarva during that era as well, at a time when private enterprise did not serve them. Nationwide,valleys were flooded and dams constructed to power these forgotten communities and the citizens and their businesses prospered from it.
Now Obama plans to do for broadband internet what FDR did for electricity-make it accessible to those potential users that the private telecom and multimedia giants have overlooked by failing to develop and invest in their networks, and if he indeed follows through on this, he will have won at least one convert right here. Yep, he finally find a way to get me and other conservative leaning tekkies to "drink the Kool-Aid".....read on.
I know that for the most part,the private sector can pretty much do anything better than the government does but in the area of internet technology, private companies have done too little,too late and our country is falling way behind as a result. An article in todays Baltimore Sun stated that "The United States ranks 15th worldwide in broadband access". That is just no longer acceptable in the so-called "internet age". It may not seem like a big issue but it is one that impacts our educational and economic future.
I am by no means advocating "free broadband for all"-of course users should pay for it-but right now there is no access to broadband for many areas. We cannot pay for something we do not have. Users like myself have one option-Hughesnet-and while they do have affordable basic residential service plans, they are still prohibitively expensive for commercial users. There are many businesses and organizations that would greatly benefit from high-speed internet access and are not "being served". We really cannot afford to be left in the proverbial dust when it comes to information technology so despite my reservations about it all, I am also optimistic. It goes beyond being able to download videos and music and it is about time the issue was addressed.
