If This Isn't True Now, It Soon Will BeSubject: Car Jacking SchemeImagine:
You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. Then you lock all your doors, start the engine and shift into REVERSE.
Habit!
You look into the rear-view window to back out of your parking space and you notice a piece of paper, some sort of advertisement stuck to your rear window. So, you shift into PARK, unlock your doors and jump out of your vehicle to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view...
...when you reach the back of your car, that is when the car-jackers jump out of no where...jump into your car and take off --your engine was running, your purse is in the car, and they practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.
BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME!
Just drive away and remove the paper that is stuck to your window later and be thankful that you read this email and that you forwarded it to your friends and family.
Things You Learn In Strange PlacesSo, the staff of the Political Vine ventured out this past Wednesday evening for a night of what's called "political theater" at a place near the Virginia-Highland area called
Dad's Garage. The event was moderated by Ken Edelstein of Creative Loafing.The show featured
Republican U.S. Senate Candidate Herman Cain, Democrat U.S. Senate Candidate Nadine Thomas, Defense Attorney Bruce Harvey, and WSB Radio host Royal Marshall. The format is that Edelstein starts it off with a question directed at whomever, and the back-and-forth begins. This goes on for about 10-15 minutes and then they open it up for audience Q&A.
At one point, Edelstein directed a question at Cain on gay marriage and adultery. Cain indicated that he was for the constitutional amendment defining marriage as one man and one woman. When Edelstein asked him would he also be for a constitutional amendment banning adultery, Cain responsed "No, we already have laws prohibiting that."
Later on, a member of the audience asked Nadine Thomas a question: "Since the Democrats were in charge of this state for 130 some-odd years, why is it that we're last in education?"
Thomas answered "I've been in the legislature for 13 years and I was there to vote for the HOPE Scholarship and that has helped educate more people, and the other element [i.e., the GOP-controlled state senate] wants to rip HOPE apart and dismantle it, and blah-blah-blah.."
When the event ended, the PV asked Thomas if she understood that the HOPE scholarship was something that applied to the kid after the SAT scores and her answer didn't address the question of why we were dead-last after 130 years of Dem control. Thomas just looked at the PV with a blank look and then re-directed her attention to people coming to shake her hand.
All we gotta say is its a good thing that legislators like Thomas and Freckled-Legs (Mary Squires) think enough of themselves to go run for U.S. Senate. Thank goodness these idiots are vacating the premises and will fertilize some other political landscape with their drivel.
[As a footnote, the PV is pretty sure we were in a room full of liberals and people of the homosexual lifestyle. Yet, we did not feel threatened, nor did we feel as though we should join them in their lifestyle. Compare that to every time we go down to the State Capitol and are among liars, cheaters, thieves, and adulterers, and, we start wishing we could be just as immoral as they are. What an interesting dichotomy to be exposed to...]
The Power Of The Asterick (*)Rumors have it that the
NCAA is considering revising the records of
all of the
University of Georgia's ("UGA") basketball scores during Jim Harrick, Jr.'s reign as coach by adding an
* beside each of the scores. The * will denote a...special "circumstance" under which the games were played.
Our inside source on this issue indicated that because
Harrick, Jr. "tested" (sic) his basketball player students using a final exam that violated the miniumum standards of UGA's academic qualifications (whatever the heck that entails), it is quite possible that these basketball players would have been deemed ineligible to play for UGA to start with; thus, the games they won deserve to be asterick-ed.
One UGA grad whom we spoke to, whom shall remain anonymous, had this response to our inquiry of how he felt about the news: "It's a disaster. It's humiliating. All of a sudden, that underwater-basket-weaving degree I have seems worthless. I guess I'll just go into politics..."
How Low(e) Can Tom Go?Rumors have it that the Fulton County Commission will need 2 Republican slots filled in this year's upcoming election season; one to replace
Commissioner Bob Fulton, who passed away last month. And the other, to replace
Tom Lowe, who is alive, but apparently he has lost control of his grey matter.
Last week,
Commissioner Emma Darnell (D) made a motion to give the staff of Bob Fulton a two weeks notice and then send them on their way. This was opposed by
Commission Chairman Karen Handel (R) on the basis of though Commissioner Fulton was not there, there were still matters of constituency services that had to be dealt with by the staff.
The Demmies on the commission all voted to support Darnell's motion, in spite of the logic of the constituency services needing to be maintained (guess the black liberals couldn't care less about the tax-paying honkeys in North Fulton).
But, the surprise came when "Republican" Tom Lowe voted right along with the Dems. Only Karen Handel voted against the proposal.
Time for Tom to be put out for pasture...or, maybe just go straight to the soap-making factory.
Exactly Where Does State Senator Vincent Fort Live?Rumors have it that
Senator Vincent Fort (D) ("I'm a little teapot, short and stout...here is my handle, here is my spout...") isn't living in the district he was elected to represent.
Reports are that he has no job as professor since Morris Brown College went bankrupt. And, supposedly, his wife has booted him out of the house. And, supposedly, he has been spotted with a young lady (on several occasions) who works at a college located in the vicinity of the northern part of 285.
SO, if he's not living in his district, how can he legally represent that district? Hmmmm...
Joke Time!Question: How do you tell the difference between liberals, conservatives, and Southerners?
Answer: Pose the following question:
You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges. You are carrying a Glock 40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?
Liberal Answer:Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids?
Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.
Conservative Answer:BANG!
Southerner's Answer:BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
click....(sounds of reloading).
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Integrity TestWith all your honor and dignity what would you do? This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. Please don't answer it without giving it some serious thought. By giving an honest answer you will be able to test where you stand morally. The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation, where you will have to make a decision one way or the other. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please scroll down slowly and consider each line - this is important for the test to work accurately.
YOUR TEST: You're in Florida...In Miami, to be exact... There is great chaos going on around you, caused by a hurricane and severe floods...There are huge masses of water all over you...You are a CNN photographer and you are in the middle of this great disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot very impressive photos. There are houses and people floating around you, disappearing into the water. Nature is showing all its destroying power and is ripping everything away with it. You see a woman in the water; she is fighting for her life, trying not to be taken away by the masses of water and mud. You move closer. Somehow the woman looks familiar. Suddenly you know who it is - it's Hillary Clinton!
At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take her away, forever. You have two options. You can save her or you can take the best photo of your life. So you can save the life of Hillary Clinton, or you can shoot a Pulitzer Prize winning photo --- a unique photo displaying the death of one of the country's most powerful women. And here's the question: (Please be honest)
Would you select color film, or rather go with the simplicity of classic black and white?
*Ooohhh...sorry, no "real" sex this time either. Just the normal, everyday incidents of politicians screwing constituents and other politicians.
