Children were taking part in ‘Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day’
MSNBC MIAMI - More than 40 children shocked with stun guns while visiting prisons in April may not have been the first ones zapped, according to a report released Tuesday.
A corrections officer told investigators she saw a similar demonstration at a prison about five years ago.
The report included hundreds of pages of documents gathered during probes ordered after the Department of Corrections learned children ages 5 to 17 had been shocked at three Florida prisons on April 23, "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day." Three employees were fired and two resigned. More than a dozen others were disciplined.

So Today as I am driving to work, my car gets a flat tire. Lucky for me I had a spare, and was taught by my father how to properly change a tire. As I pull over to the side of the road, an officer pulls over behind me ( I am in La Plata Maryland ), and helps me to change my tire, right there on the side of the road.
Officer Bagley, I salute you. It's wonderful to know there are decent human beings out there, police or civilian, who help those in need.
I hope he sees this.

After Long Wait, Franken Sworn In As Senator
WASHINGTON - Al Franken became a senator on Tuesday, completing the transformation from comedian to politician.
The Minnesota Democrat's swearing-in marked the end of an eight-month political and legal struggle and drew thunderous applause in the Senate chamber. His presence gives Democrats 60 votes, enough to thwart possible Republican filibusters.
Vice President Joe Biden administered Franken's oath, slapping the former Saturday Night Live performer on the back, then embracing him in a full hug. Former Vice President Walter Mondale, a Minnesota native, accompanied Franken. Franken was introduced by fellow Minnesotan and Democrat Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
DSP Capt. Robert M. Coupe Named Superintendent Of Delaware State Police
Today Governor Jack A. Markell joined Lewis D. Schiliro, Secretary of Safety and Homeland Security, to announce the appointment of Captain Robert M. Coupe as Superintendent of the Delaware State Police.
Col. Coupe, 46, assumes command of the State’s largest police agency following the retirement of Col. Thomas F. MacLeish. Col. Coupe, a 24-year veteran of the State Police, most recently served as the Troop 2 Criminal Investigative Unit Commander since May 2006.
“The Delaware State Police is an exceptionally good law enforcement agency. Robert Coupe has the type of leadership style and wealth of experience to put himself in the shoes of the troopers he commands and the Delawareans he serves,” Markell said. “Col. Coupe will bring great energy to this critical position, and not only is he up to the task of filling Col. MacLeish’s shoes, he is ready and able to make several strides forward in them.”
“Col. Coupe is a highly qualified and experienced leader who will honor the sacred trust bestowed upon him as the new leader of the Delaware State Police. I have full faith and confidence in his ability to lead the Delaware State Police and to serve the citizens of our State. His expansive knowledge of the organization and his commitment to the men and women of the Delaware State Police will provide leadership founded on integrity, compassion and justice,” said Sec. Schiliro.
“As with most service oriented careers the greatest challenge is to never lose sight of why you entered that career, never lose your passion for the mission, and never give up on the cause. As a Delaware State Trooper I have been blessed with working with some of the finest men and women who make up the civilian and sworn members of the Division,” said Col. Coupe. “Their commitment and dedication continue to inspire me to serve the citizens of this State. I graciously accept the responsibility of the Colonel’s position and pledge my commitment to serve with dignity and honor befitting the integrity of the Division.”
Col. Coupe joined the DSP ranks in 1985 and has served as Troop Commander, Internal Affairs Investigator, Homicide Detective, Training Officer at the DSP Training Academy and a member of the DSP Honor Guard Unit. In addition, Col. Coupe is a graduate of the Federal Bureau of Investigation National Academy—the West Point of law enforcement.
In 2001, Col. Coupe received the Exceptional Performance Award for his role in helping to create the DSP Pipes and Drums. He still performs with the band as a bagpiper. He also earned the Life Saving Award in 1996 for coming to the aid of a suicidal subject.
Col. Coupe, a St. Mark’s High School graduate, resides in Claymont with his wife, Pamela. He is the proud father of two children, Jocelyn and Tyler.

Judge Approves "Old" GM Bankruptcy Sale To "New" GM
Late yesterday, U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Robert Gerber approved the sale of General Motors to a new corporation, which will allow the company to come out of bankruptcy as early as Thursday.
The new company will be owned by:
The United States government—a 60.8 percent stake
A trust fund (VEBA) that provides medical benefits for United Auto Workers retirees—17.5 percent
The governments of Canada and the province of Ontario—11.7 percent
Bondholders of the old GM—10 percent.
Objectors, who included people ranging from consumer groups to bondholders, failed to present a viable alternative to the bankruptcy, the judge said. He allowed a four day stay of the sale until Thursday afternoon for appeals. Friday, July 10, is the last day the U.S. Department of the Treasury has agreed to extend any loans to the old GM.

Big Delmar News!

If you live or travel through Delmar and have to go over the Railroad Tracks, you're taking your vehicles life into your own hands just trying to get over the Railroad Tracks!
Well here's the good news Folks. If everything goes as planned, July 20th and July 21st they'll be removing the old tracks and replacing them, finally ending the horror of traveling over those nasty tracks!
My hat is tipped to the Town Council of Delmar Maryland and Delaware for finally pulling off what seemed to be an impossible task. I guess we have to thank the R/R Company but what the heck, screw them! They have delayed this for far too many years and put hundreds of thousands of vehicles through hell for far too long. It's about time they got off their A$$ and fixed this serious problem. I would think everyone who has traveled that route, (Rt. 54) would agree with me.

The Nightmare
In the nightmare I found myself nude in bed, and I was looking at a mirror on the ceiling, and I discovered that I am a Negro, and I'm circumcised!
Quickly I sat up, found my pants and looked in the pockets to find my driver's license photo and it was that same color. Black.
I felt myself being very depressed, downcast, sitting in a chair. But it's a wheelchair!!
That means, of course, besides being black and Jewish, I'm also disabled!!!
I said to myself, aloud 'This is impossible. It's impossible that I should be black and Jewish and disabled.'
'It's the pure and holy truth', whispers someone from behind me.
I turn around, and it's my boyfriend.
Just what I needed!!!
I am a homosexual, and on top of that with a Mexican boyfriend.
Oh, my God..... black, Jewish, disabled, gay, with a Mexican boyfriend, drug addict, and HIV-positive!!!
Desperate, I begin to shout, cry, pull my hair, and Oh, noooooo...I'm bald!!!
The telephone rings.
It's my brother.
He is saying, 'Since mom and dad died the only thing you do is hang out, take drugs, and laze around all day doing nothing. Get a job you worthless piece of crap... Any job.'
Mom?... Dad?... Nooooooooo... Now I'm also an unemployed orphan!
I try to explain to my brother how hard it is to find a job when you are black, Jewish, disabled, gay with a Mexican boyfriend, are a drug addict, HIV positive, bald, and an orphan.
But he doesn't get it.
Frustrated, I hang up.
It's then I realize I only have one hand!!!
With tears in my eyes I go to the window to look out.
I see I live in a shanty-town full of cardboard and tin houses! There is trash everywhere.
Suddenly I feel a sharp pain near my pacemaker.... Pacemaker?
Besides being black, Jewish, disabled, a fairy with a Mexican boyfriend, a drug addict, HIV positive, bald, orphaned, unemployed, an invalid with one hand, and having a bad heart, I live in a crappy neighborhood.
At that very moment my boyfriend approaches and says to me, 'Sweetie pie, my love, my little black heart throb, have you decided what you are going to wear to Washington to see Obama.
Say it isn't so!!! I can handle being a black, disabled, one armed, drug addicted, Jewish homosexual on a pacemaker who is HIV positive, bald, orphaned, unemployed, lives in a slum, and has a Mexican boyfriend, but please, oh dear God, please don't tell me I'm a Democrat...

Hospital Will NOT Back Birth Claim Of Obama
By Jerome R. Corsi
© 2009 WorldNetDaily
The hospital in Hawaii where Barack Obama claims he was born refuses to produce any documentation – or even confirm the claim – without permission of the president himself.
The Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children in Honolulu has posted on its website a letter on White House stationery dated Jan. 24 in which Obama wrote, "As a beneficiary of the excellence of Kapi'olani Medical Center – the place of my birth – I am pleased to add my voice to your chorus of supporters.

King Obama Strikes Again
It reminds me of the "Anti - Sedition Acts" passed by King George just before the American Revolution. These acts we designed to give the British Crown the ability to persecute and then prosecute American Patriots for speaking out against the excesses of the British Government..It makes the often vilified "Patriot Act" seem tame by comparison.
This is the scariest thing I've ever seen. Pay close attention to the wording especially anything that says "as determined by the Attorney General".
Also the bottom section regarding online activity. Folks if this passes, anyone that's attended a tea party or 9.12 project or even participated online in regards to them would be eligible for the military. Nor would they be retained in the military if already serving. Basically it could include anyone "as determined by the Attorney General" as this gives the Attorney General the ability to, at his own volition, declare any group a "Hate Group". Keep in mind the TEA PARTIES HATE HIGH TAXES AND A TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT.
This is a takeover. Now some of you will say this is only against Hate Crimes.......however it grants our already tyrannical Government the ability to bend it to their own use as determined by the Attorney General a political appointee..
H.R. 2647 has already passed the house and this was amended to it. I don't know when Congress will be voting on it but if anyone else does please let everyone know.

Here's a link to this particular section on the bill. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd
The bill is very large and will take some time to load.
Think of anything you or someone you know may have said in an email or online that may be construed to"support, encourage, or affirm the group’s extremist or violent views and goals" "as determined by the Attorney General". And what of the children of people on the "hate list". Are they to be excluded from serving? I suppose that's up to you know who. Affiliation by relation?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Bill will give our Government, who already bends and abuses our Constitution, the ability to prosecute just about anyone they do not like "AS DETERMINED BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THESE UNITED STATES, a political appointee made by King Obama to do the Will of King Obama."
What will the King do next, "TAX OUR COFFEE???"

Here's a link to this particular section on the bill. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd
The bill is very large and will take some time to load.
Think of anything you or someone you know may have said in an email or online that may be construed to"support, encourage, or affirm the group’s extremist or violent views and goals" "as determined by the Attorney General". And what of the children of people on the "hate list". Are they to be excluded from serving? I suppose that's up to you know who. Affiliation by relation?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Bill will give our Government, who already bends and abuses our Constitution, the ability to prosecute just about anyone they do not like "AS DETERMINED BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THESE UNITED STATES, a political appointee made by King Obama to do the Will of King Obama."
What will the King do next, "TAX OUR COFFEE???"

Life in Outer Space? NASA Hiding the Truth?
I saw this today and thought it would coincide well with the earlier moon post.
BREAKING NEWS
MD. Route 113 and Rt. 12 in Snow Hill are closed due to a fatality accident involving a tractor trailer and a van. One fatality. Crash Investigators are on the scene and traffic is being routed through Snow Hill.
Well, Did We Go To The Moon In 1969 Or Not?
Here is a video of particular interest with the coming 40th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 Lunar landing. It can be viewed as funny. It can be viewed as a practice run. It certainly could be a complete fake. It certainly could be 1969 era made. How many people believe we went to the moon in 1969?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDs23G2zQMo
I personally do NOT believe we ever landed on the Moon. The fact that when they made their first step onto the Moon and created dust, the dust fell back down and didn't keep floating. Then of course I have always said, how did they get the 4 wheel drive vehicle on the Moon? I mean, you do remember the size of the capsule they landed in, right?
Our Government plays us like we're all stupid, that's all there is to it. I know many of you WANT to believe this to be true, that's your right. SUCKERS! Click on the link, it's a very brief 34 second video worth watching.
Why Is Louise Smith In Such A Rush On Health Insurance Policy?
Last night at the City Council Work Session, Louise Smith proved she is rushing for solutions referencing Health Insurance for Council Members. The big question is, why?
It has been proven that nothing can be done with "current" Council Members and quite frankly there's a ton of major issues the City is facing at this very moment and Louise Smith and Gary Comegys are chomping at the bit to remove any insurance any future Council Member might be eligible for.
Here' the problem though. We just had elections and they now have 2 years before they actually have to address what they feel is a problem. There's a $45,000,000.00 lawsuit against the Police Department no one wants to talk about. There's a $82,000,000.00 screw up at the WWTP. Louise Smith and Gary Comegys need to stop grandstanding on stupid issues and tackle the major issues at hand first.
While Gary Comegys once again attacked Debbie Campbell trying to suggest she broke the law by accepting health insurance, the guy couldn't be more stupid. He was reciting case law, (or something of the sort) clearly hand fed by the former Mayor once again but they tend to forget Shanie Shields held TWO health insurance policies, forcing the taxpayers to spend somewhere near $10,000.00 a year on her for years while she had another policy. That's closer to breaking a law than Debbie Campbell reimbursing the City for the first three years she was in Office. Get a grip Gary.
Over on the Daily Times they're already bickering about Debbie, trying to get some momentum going on this issue. One Idiot even claimed that since Debbie Campbell owns a few homes, she shouldn't be receiving Health Insurance. I'll give you ONE guess who that individual is and I'll even give you a few hints. He's over 500 pounds, lives in Section 8 housing for $35.00 a month, collects Disability and free Health Insurance and spends his day/life bashing Debbie Campbell each and every day.
Get over it Gary & Louise, we have other serious matters at hand and it's very clear what you're trying to do. They want to discourage anyone else from running for Office so they can regroup and take back seats in the next election. Oh well, it's business as usual at the GOB.

Driving For Jesus/Makin' All the Lights
Dear Grand-daughter,
The other day I went up to our local Christian book store and saw a 'Honk if you love Jesus' bumper sticker ..
I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting...
So, I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.
Boy, am I glad I did; what an uplifting experience that followed.
I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good he is, and I didn't notice that the light had changed.
It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed..
I found that lots of people love Jesus!
While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, 'For the love of God!'
'Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO!'
What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!
Everyone started honking!
I just leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those loving people.
I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love!
There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach.
I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air.
I asked my young teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant.
He said it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something.
Well, I have never met anyone from Hawaii , so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign right back.
My grandson burst out laughing..
Why even he was enjoying this religious experience!!
A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me.
I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed.
So, grinning, I waved at all my brothers and sisters, and drove on through the intersection.
I noticed that I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared.
So I slowed the car down, leaned out the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away. Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!!
Will write again soon,
Love, Grandma

Busy Day Today
While we normally have a ton of Posts up for the day, today is a busy day for Salisbury News.
We are holding meetings with different companies, preparing to launch a new Salisbury News in the very near future.
I have to be honest with you. Salisbury News was only supposed to be around long enough to get Barrie Tilghman out of Office but this Site started taking a life of its own and grew faster than we had ever dreamed.
The next thing I knew, Barrie Tilghman was gone, she lost her lawsuit against me and just when I thought I'd call it quits everyone kept asking me to keep it going. One of the biggest sellers that changed my mind was the Salvation Army, Brooke Mulford and Chuck Campbell, (for starters). I realized the wonderful things Salisbury News could do for those in need, so I chose to keep it going.
Advertisers continue to line up, so we're going to the next level, we have to. That being said, today we're holding meetings to see just how serious these advertisers are as well as parties interested in Salisbury News.
So while things may be a bit slow today, we'll do our very best to keep things flowing and we apologize in advance for the unusual slow down. We'll be back to normal by this afternoon.
Have a great morning Folks.

City Of Salisbury CLOSED Work Session?
Hmmmmmm, I wonder what it could have been about???????
Let's see, we have to wait outside council chambers while the "Closed Session" is going on. I waited for 1 hour longer than it was supposed to be and look who comes walking out of the "Closed Session."
I smell the litigation of a huge lawsuit but it was a "Closed Session" so I wouldn't actually know! What do YOU think happened. Remember, this is all speculation and since it was a "Closed Session" YOU wouldn't know either, right?
The Economics professor
An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before but had once failed an entire class.
That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan". All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.
The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D! No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.
Could not be any simpler than that.
The Priest And The Rabbi
A priest and a rabbi were sitting next to each other on an airplane.
After a while, the priest turned to the rabbi and asked, "Is it still a requirement of your faith that you not eat pork?"
The rabbi responded, "Yes, that is still one of our laws."
The priest then asked, "Have you ever eaten pork?"
To which the rabbi replied, "Yes, on one occasion I did succumb to temptation and tasted a ham sandwich.."
The priest nodded in understanding and went on with his reading.
A while later, the rabbi spoke up and asked the priest, "Father, is it still a requirement of your church that you remain celibate?"
The priest replied, "Yes, that is still very much a part of our faith."
The rabbi then asked him, "Father, have you ever fallen to the temptations of the flesh?"
The priest replied, "Yes, rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke with my faith."
The rabbi nodded understandingly and remained silent, thinking, for about five minutes.
Finally, the rabbi said, "Beats the hell out of a ham sandwich, doesn't it?"

A Message From Wicomico Eastside Chamber Of Commerce President Bob Harris
Independence Day is a time for reflection. A time to put away our petty differences and remember the sacrifices made by so many over 200 years ago to assure that the foundation of a free nation could be laid for future generations. We are among those generations as are our children. It is incumbent upon us to teach our children that our flag is the symbol of freedom recognized around the world and that the cost of our independence was paid for by the lives of sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters, and should not be taken lightly. We're Americans first and foremost.
In honor of this, and as a tribute to our nation and our forefathers, The Wicomico Eastside Chamber of Commerce sponsored the 2nd annual Independence Day Celebration at the Willards Elementary School. It was once again a success and stands to serve as a shining example of what can be accomplished when a community pulls together.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the following people without whom this event would not have been possible:
All of those members of the Wicomico Eastside Chamber of Commerce who donated so generously during this incredibly tough economy.
The Willards Volunteer Fire Company for providing.....too much to list.
Wicomico County Board of Education.
Wicomico County Sheriff's Office for providing security.
Bay Fireworks for a spectacular show.
The Tabenacle Church for live music that never ended until the firewworks were half over.
Sbynews, the TwoSentz crew, the Wicbury Crapper, WBOC, and the Daily Times for giving us the coverage with the PSA.
Erika Parks, her mom Vicki Harris, and The Community who came together and helped raise over $200 for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation - fighting childhood cancer one cup at a time.
Cobbs Hill Bison who provided an outstanding Buffalo Chip Tossing contest.
The Gathering Tree Church who provided chidrens games such as the three legged race.
And last but not least, the nine volunteers who showed up at the Willards Elementary School at 10:00 a.m. the following day to clean up the grounds so that we can use the property again next year.
Thank you all so much. Again, without your efforts and continued support this event wouldn't have been possible.
Robert Harris, President
Wicomico Eastside Chamber of Commerce

Insurance Policy
WOODEN LEG INSURANCE
A man and his wife, moved back home to Missouri from Texas . The husband had a wooden leg, and to insure it back in Texas, it cost them $2000 per year!
When they arrived in Missouri, they went to an insurance agency to see how much it would cost to insure his wooden leg.
The agent looked it up on the computer and said: '$39.'
The husband was shocked and asked why it was so cheap here in Missouri to insure it because it cost him $2000 in Texas !
The insurance agent turned his computer screen to the couple and said, 'Well, here it is on the screen, it says: Any wooden structure, with a sprinkler system above it, is $39.... You just have to know how to describe it!'
