Debbie Campbell on Reddish
Debbie Campbell will be the guest of Bill Reddish, 7:40 tomorrow morning on WICO 1320 AM
Swiss voters nix legal marijuana but approve legal heroin use
The world's most comprehensive legalized heroin program became permanent Sunday with overwhelming approval from Swiss voters who simultaneously rejected the decriminalization of marijuana.Does this sound strange to anyone else BUT me?And the government will be footing most of the bill....read on.
The heroin program, started in 1994, is offered in 23 centers across Switzerland. It has helped eliminate scenes of large groups of drug users shooting up openly in parks that marred Swiss cities in the 1980s and 1990s and is credited with reducing crime and improving the health and daily lives of addicts.
The nearly 1,300 selected addicts, who have been unhelped by other therapies, visit one of the centers twice a day to receive the carefully measured dose of heroin produced by a government-approved laboratory.
They keep their paraphernalia in cups labeled with their names and use the equipment and clean needles to inject themselves - four at a time - under the supervision of a nurse, and also receive counseling from psychiatrists and social workers.
The aim is to help the addicts learn how to function in society.
The United States and the U.N. narcotics board have criticized the program as potentially fueling drug abuse, but it has attracted attention from governments as far away as Australia and Canada, which in recent years have started or are considering their own programs modeled on the system.
Sixty-eight percent of the 2.26 million Swiss voters casting ballots approved making the heroin program permanent.
By contrast, around 63.2 percent of voters voted against the marijuana proposal, which was based on a separate citizens' initiative to decriminalize the consumption of marijuana and growing the plant for personal use.
Olivier Borer, 35, a musician from the northern town of Solothurn, said he welcomed the outcome in part because state action was required to help heroin addicts, but he said legalizing marijuana was a bad idea.
"I think it's very important to help these people, but not to facilitate the using of drugs," Borer said. "You can just see in the Netherlands how it's going. People just go there to smoke."
Sabina Geissbuehler-Strupler of the right-wing Swiss People's Party, which led the campaign against the heroin program, said she was disappointed in the vote.
"That is only damage limitation," she said. "Ninety-five percent of the addicts are not healed from the addiction."
Health insurance pays for the bulk of the program, which costs 26 million Swiss francs ($22 million) a year. All residents in Switzerland, which has a population of 7.5 million, are required to have health insurance, with the government paying insurance premiums for those who cannot afford it.
Jo Lang, a Green Party member of parliament from the central city of Zug, said he was disappointed in the failure of the marijuana measure because it means 600,000 people in Switzerland will be treated as criminals because they use cannabis.
"People have died from alcohol and heroin, but not from cannabis," Lang said.

Citizenship Issue on MSNBC
On Dec 5 the Supreme Court will either allow or disallow the usurpation of both the Constitution and the Government of the United States — easily the most pivotal decision since our nation’s founding — and the silence of the news media is deafening (if not downright scary).

I have received some e-mails asking if everything is OK and why are things so slow today or this weekend.
Every once in a while I need a break and weekends are usually the best time to do so. The hits are much slower on weekends and the biggest reason why Bloggers like Bill Duvall chose not to post at all on Saturdays.
Nevertheless, even though I need a break every so often, I was actually busy this weekend filling in gaps with the Salvation Army. In fact, I was supposed to be on one of the Boats last night in the Christmas Boat Parade but I got a cal at the very last minute stating how some people were in one location for almost the entire day and they had no one to replace them.
I chose that it was far more important to get out there and take over than it was to take a ride down the river on a Boat. Because of this, I was not able to get out and take photos of the Parade as well as the lights in the Park. So if anyone wants to send in photos of either or, that would be great.
I will say this however. I have received numerous calls about today"s Daily Times and how their three main local articles, I did them almost a month ago. ROTFLMAO! It looks like I can now relax for the next 4 weeks until they catch up to us once again.
Tomorrow's Posts will blow you away. Put that seat belt on Barrie Tilghman and Gary Comegys, we're about to rock the Boat like there's no tomorrow.

Was Blognetnews Listening?
After my article yesterday on Michael Schwartz and his Influential Ratings with Blognetnews with only 82 hits per day, today we were ranked #1 in Maryland, #2 in Delaware and #2 on Delmarva. My guess is they had no choice but to make some immediate changes because there's just no denying someone who only gets an average of 82 hits per day could not be considered the most Influential Blogger in the State.
This week Michael's Rankings jumped to #8 in Maryland and #14 on Delmarva. Makes more sense. Anyhow, we'll have to see how things go from this point forward because like I said yesterday, Blognetnews needs to tweak their system and make things right.

The Marine
Katie Couric, Charlie Gibson, Brian Williams and a tough old U.S. Marine Sergeant were captured by terrorists in Iraq. The leader of the terrorists told them he'd grant each of them one last request
before they were beheaded and dragged naked through the streets.
Katie Couric said, 'Well, I'm a Southerner, so I'd like one last plate of fried chicken.' The leader nodded to an underling who left and returned with the chicken. Couric ate it all and said, 'Now I can die content.'
Charlie Gibson said, 'I'm living in ' New York , so I'd like to hear the song 'The Moon and Me one last time.' The terrorist's leader nodded to another terrorist who had studied the Western world and knew the music. He returned with some rag-tag musicians and played the song. Gibson was satisfied.
Brian Williams said, 'I'm a reporter to the end. I want to take out my tape recorder and describe the scene here and what's about to happen. Maybe, someday, someone will hear it and know that I was on the job till the end.' The leader directed an aide to hand over the tape recorder and Williams dictated his comments. He then said, 'Now I can die happy.'
The leader turned and said, 'And now, Mr. US Marine, what is your final wish?'
'Kick me in the ass,' said the Marine.
'What?' asked the leader, 'Will you mock us in your last hour?'
'No, I'm NOT kidding. I want you to kick me in the ass,' insisted the Marine.
So the leader shoved him into the yard and kicked him in the ass. The Marine went sprawling, but rolled to his knees, pulled a 9 mm pistol from inside his cammies and shot the leader dead. In the resulting confusion, he emptied his sidearm on six terrorists, with his knife he slashed the throat of one with an AK-47, which he took, and sprayed the rest of the terrorists killing another 11!
In a flash, all of them were either dead or fleeing for their lives.
As the Marine was untying Couric, Gibson and Williams, they asked him, ' Why didn't you just shoot them all in the first place? Why did you ask him to kick you in the ass?'
'What!?!' replied the Marine, 'and have you three assholes report that I was the aggressor....?

Holly Has Been Adopted
I just received a cal from one of the Deputies at the Court House informing me he and his Bride just returned from the Humane Society after adopting Holly.
These are the kind of phone calls I appreciate more than any other. It will take several more days for Holly to come home as she's being micro chipped and getting the remainder of her shots and the they'll surprise the kids with an early Christmas Present.
Keep the good news coming and again, THANK YOU!
Debbie Campbells Is Ringing the Bell
Debbie Campbell is at Giant Foods right now ringing the bell for the Salvation Army. If you are out that way, stop by and help Debbie fill the kettle for a very worthy cause. Debbie has volunteered for the 9am until Noon shift today.
From A Loyal Reader
This was written following the 9-11 attacks. I do not know who wrote it. I pray that nothing like 9-11 will ever happen again. I am sending this in hopes that many who read this will remember this the next time they make stupid threats like the one against Mr. Joe and his family on Thanksgiving. I would much rather be thought of as these brave Firemen are than the one who made the threat. Although not mentioned, I think this would also apply to Policemen. These men and women did NOT run for their own safety and truly understood the REAL reason they became Fire and Police Personel. Sometimes, people need to be reminded.
I have always thought that angels wore halos and wings of white
But now I find they wear hard hats and black coats with yellow stripes
And angels, in my mind, wore long flowing gowns of white
But now I see dark pants and shirts and badges shining bright
And angels always floated with bare feet above the ground
Not true! For they wear steel toed boots and go where death is found
Not all angels have smooth hands that look like porcelain
Some angels have torn gloves and cuts and burns upon their skin
And while I thought all angels glowed from heavens light
I see an angel cutting steel his torch is shining bright
And while these earthly angels passed buckets of debris
The angels up in heaven looked down on bended knee
So while the smoke continued to rise into the sky
I watched the rescue workers weep I've seen the angels cry

Monoblogue Has No Influence Whatsoever & Here's Proof
Below are the Site Meter numbers for Monoblogue. Although Michael claims he has increased some 45% this past year, I was almost right on when I said he had very few hits and increasing 45% didn't really mean much and I was right.
It's a shame someone can put so many years into a Blog, (3+ years) and only average 82 hits per day but as I've told Michael for the past few years, he's too verbose in every single Post he does and I never believed he did any real volume anyway.
I will no longer consider his Site as one of the top Blogs on the Eastern Shore because ANYONE can start a Blog and get these kind of hits no matter what the content is. I remember when I started National-Joe-A-Graphic and I was averaging 250 hits a day 3 years ago.
Now don't get me wrong, Michael is a very smart man and knows his politics. However, when he runs around saying he's an influential political Blogger, PLEASE! Hell, he'll get more hits off this Post than he gets in one month.
Currently Michael is #1 on Delmarva and #2 in Maryland. With the information below directly from Site Meter, Blognetnews has no clue what they're doing. Now I know some Bloggers will read this and say, Albero is just ticked off because he didn't rank that high this past week. That's just not true. Quite frankly, I'm pleased someone else is filling my shoes but I will admit that I'd rather see someone beating me out who actually posts more than once a day and gets thousands of hits per day. It's pretty bad when Michael's Site beats me out with only 82 hits per day. There's no question linking to one and other works and no matter what those other Bloggers say, I now have proof.
It doesn't matter what he says, I have seen his numbers and averages and I have even saved those images for future reference but more influential, I don't think so. So the next time you rag on me Michael, the joke is now on you and will forever be that way.

A Comment Worthy Of A Post
"Jedadiah Cross has left a new comment on your post "Slow Morning":
My Christmas wish would be Joe and Chief See ringing together anywhere. In the spirit of the season, it would be nice to see them work together for a good cause. I bet the Chief would do fine if he just let his defense down and tried to get along. It would be a sight to behold and a real message of cooperation and fellowship. Can this be arranged ?"
Mr. Cross:
In the spirit the Holidays, I would be more than happy to stand with not only Chief See for two hours ringing a bell for the Salvation Army, I will also extend that same offer to Chief Webster from the Salisbury Police Department.
I believe I have proven time and time again that I am willing to put personal issues aside and do what is best for the cause, hence the Humane Society as just one example.
So, that being said, you have my word in writing on this Blog and if ANY one of you want to make that arrangement, just tell me the time and place and I will be there. I'll even go so far as to say, "any time, any place." It's the right thing to do and my guess is that we would raise more money than anyone has ever raised locally in the past for two hours worth of bell ringing.
Black Friday
While it's been a long day for many of us, I for one did absolutely no shopping whatsoever today and never planned on it.
However, it's not all about me and what I choose to do.
Did you go shopping today?
Did you find any really good deals?
Was it worth getting up at 4:00 AM?
Were the lines out of this world?
Were people in nasty moods?
You're welcome to answer one or all if you like.

A Little American History
It was the first day of a school in the USA
and a new Indian student named Chandrasekhar Subramanian entered the fourth grade.
The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American History.
Who said 'Give me Liberty , or give me Death'?"
She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Chandrasekhar, who had his hand up:
'Patrick Henry, 1775' he said.
'Very good!'
Who said 'Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?'
Again, no response except from Chandrasekhar.
'Abraham Lincoln, 1863' said Chandrasekhar.
The teacher snapped at the class, '
Class, you should be ashamed.
Chandrasekhar, who is new to our country,
knows more about its history than you do.'
She heard a loud whisper: 'F*ck the Indians,'
'Who said that?' she demanded. Chandrasekhar put his hand up.
'General Custer, 1862.' At that point, a student in the back said,
'I'm gonna puke.' The teacher glares around and asks
'All right! Now, who said that?'
Again, Chandrasekhar says, 'George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.'
Now furious, another student yells,
'Oh yeah? Suck this!'
Chandrasekhar jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher ,
'Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!'
Now with almost mob hysteria someone said
'You little ****. If you say anything else, I'll kill you.'
Chandrasekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice,
'Michael Jackson to the child witnesses testifying against him- 2004.'
The teacher fainted.
And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor,
someone said, 'Oh sh!t, we're screwed!'
And Chandrasekhar said quietlly,
"I think it was the American people,
November 4, 2008."

Coded message From Bin Laden
After numerous rounds of 'We don't even know if Osama is still alive', Barrack Hussein Obama has now been telling everyone he will capture Osama Bin Laden when elected.'
So, Osama himself decided to send Barrack Hussein Obama a letter in his own handwriting to let him know he was still in the game.
Obama opened the letter and it contained a single line of coded message:
370H-SSV-0773H
Obama was baffled, so he e-mailed it to Howard Dean.
Dean and the DNC and his aides had no clue either, so they sent it to Joe Biden.
Joe Biden could not solve so it was sent to the FBI and the CIA.
Eventually they asked Rush Limbaugh to look at it.
And within a few minutes Limbaugh's Staff e-mailed Obama with this reply: 'Tell Obama he's holding the message upside down'.
