Police: Officer fired for demanding free coffee
Fla. cop allegedly threatened workers with slower responses if they refused

It would appear that the blog posted by the Savannah night club owner about how the police extorted the night clubs and similar places to hire off duty coppers at inflated prices might not be the simple rant of a cop-basher.

Hey all, I am looking for recommendations.

We need only the most basic of pool care - when we are out of town, we need someone to tend the pool chemistry, make sure the pump is operating after thunderstorms etc, and to close it in November / December and reopen it in April.

The Mars Phoenix Lander, which arrived a few weeks ago at the North Pole of the Red Planet, seems to have with it a high tech gadget thats been used for years by pilots here on Earth as a weather forecasting tool. The image below identifies the unit - this image was taken directly from the official NASA Mars Phoenix Lander website:

No joke.

That one has to hurt. The Republicans ought to send a file crew down to Cuba, pretend to be a news group, film Castro endorsing Obama and then play it every hour from one week before the election until its over. Then, even if he loses, KEEP playing it just for humor's sake.

First Hamas, then Castro. Who's next? Osama?

I'm assuming you are lurking - someone calls you name and you leave? Seriously? How can you serve in my Mayoral cabinet without being here.

Mayhap its my lawyer profession, but calling my integrity into doubt is a daily occurrence, even my friends and family tell lawyer jokes. . .

suck it up.

Our home insurance has almost tripled since 2005 and we have not had a claim anywhere.

In an effort to save a few hundred, does anyone have ideas for good agents or direct sale companies around here?

Thanks -

OK folks- 'original' UCB was 'undercoverbrother.'

The 'new' UCB is '_undercoverbrother."

I think that the new fake UCB is Blueline registered under a new nic.

The 'new' UCB argues his point alot - the old UCB NEVER used to engage in such droll efforts as trying to make a point . .. .

No tax cuts, no smoke and mirrors.

We sell the SAME gasoline in California as they sell in Montana or New York. And we sell 100% unadulterated gasoline, no ethanol, methanol, mtbe or anything else in it.

This way, when there is a shortage of gas in Cleveland, they can send it over from New york or from Atlanta. Everyone has a different blend, a cocktail of ingredients to satisfy the local environmentalists. Yet, burning ethanol blends reduces gas mileage which increases the amount of fuel burned, increases the global warming gas emissions, and increases the cost.

Everyone knows we feed the world, essentially. The USA produces the most grains in the world. Along with that comes animal feed.

Personally, the time has come to create a OFEC, the Organization of Food Exporting Nations. The USA, Canada, Australia and Argentina. 80% of the worlds food exports.

We'll cut off places like North Korea, the entire Islamic world, parts of Asia that are not cooperative in the war on Islamofacism. Or, who just piss us off.

Is anyone else tired of being preached at about environmentalism and 'green.' NONE of what corporate America does is green. They make stuff and sell stuff and no matter what it is, it damages the environment. No matter what you use, be it bamboo underwear or hemp sweaters, it takes energy to process the material and therefore you 'damage' the environment.
