Too Bad More Cities and Counties Don’t Do This..

Bill Simon, Friday, September 22nd, 2006

Greenleaf, Idaho — All Americans have the right to bear arms. Some towns have even gone as far as to require each household to have a gun. Now a small Idaho town is contemplating a similar idea– it’s called the Civil Emergencies Ordinance. And although gun ownership is just one piece of this ordinance, it’s […]

Somebody produced a little spoof on Sonny’s latest ad…pretty funny and reminds me of Jimmy Kimmel’s stuff:

Senator George Allen: I’m Thoroughly Unimpressed

Bill Simon, Monday, September 18th, 2006

I watched Senator George Allen on Meet the Depressed this morning with Tim Russert. I have to say, for my first impression of the man, I am thoroughly UNIMPRESSED with his grasp of issues.

Stock-up On Gasoline!!!

Bill Simon, Tuesday, September 12th, 2006

Wow! I paid $2.34 today for a gallon of regular unleaded at the QT on Barrett Pkwy near 575. Last night when I was in DeKalb County, the price was around $2.38 per gallon. Two weeks ago I paid $2.99 per gallon. Too bad there was no way to short retail gasoline…I would of made […]

Forget “Where’s Waldo?” This Tribe Wants To Know “Where’s Ralphie?”

Bill Simon, Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

Anyone in the subpoena/lawsuit serving business? Perhaps the Alabama-Coushatta tribe will have to get Dog, The Bounty Hunter to serve Ralph Reed his notice of the lawsuit against him. Very interesting story about good ‘ole Ralphie seemingly disappearing from the political landscape to avoid getting served a copy of the racketeering lawsuit where he is […]
