Think Gas Prices are Way To High … Kentucky John (Kenneth Nowak) Paid Prostitute (Angela Eversole) with $100 fuel card

TALK ABOUT A METAPHOR … HAVEN’T THE OIL COMPANIES, OPEC AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BEEN BENDING US OVER WITH GAS PRICES … WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

Its pretty bad when the cost of a prostitute’s services are less than a full tank of gas …

Well, you know that the price of gas is way to high when gas is used as a method of payment and barter exchange for sex. That is correct, Sex for gas … According to court papers, Kenneth Nowak paid a prostitute, Angela Eversole, with a $100 gas card. The Kentucky woman was arrested Friday on suspicion of selling her body for a $100 gas card.

Angela Eversole &  Kenneth Nowak

JULY 2–A Kentucky woman is facing prostitution charges for allegedly trading sex for gasoline. Angela Eversole, 34, was nabbed last weekend during a police stakeout at a Days Inn, where she allegedly trysted with customer Kenneth Nowak. According to court records, Nowak admitted paying for Eversole’s services, in part, with a $100 Speedway gas card. Eversole was hit with a prostitution rap and also charged with doing business without an occupational license.

I guess we will have to change the above price now to SEX

She was charged with doing business without an occupational license? There’s a stretch. Can one get an occupational license for prostitution?

A local prosecutor noted that it was sad to see someone selling their body for gas. No sir, what may be more sad is that the gas card will only get her about $25 gallons of gas and let’s hope that she does not drive a diesel or a vehicle that requires premium unleaded. With the ever increasing cost of a barrel of oil, Angela Eversole may want to think about raising her price.  What’s next, trading books and food for sex?

Comedian George Carlin Dies at Age 71 of Heart Failure … The True Stuff that Comedians are Made of

George Carlin, one of the funniest, edgiest and most provocative comedians ever, has passed away at the age of 71 due to heart failure. Personally, I did not agree with his politics or any of his lack of beliefs; however, George Carlin was just down right funny. To have ever seen him perform live was a sight to behold. His mere facial expressions during his comedy routines were beyond side splitting laughter.

Thank you for the brilliant comedy … Rest in Peace.

Carlin, who had a history of heart and drug-dependency problems, died at Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica about 6 p.m. PDT (9 p.m. EDT/0100 GMT) after being admitted earlier in the afternoon for chest pains, spokesman Jeff Abraham told Reuters.

Award-winning comedian George Carlin dies

Although Carlin was best known as the anti-Establishment icon in the 1970’s and the comedy routine “Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television,” which managed to make it all the way to the Supreme Court. George Carlin had so many other brilliant routines like “Stuff”.  Who can forget his routine on Baseball and Football

“Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television.” A regulatory battle over a radio broadcast of the routine ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court.

In the 1978 case, Federal Communications Commission vs. Pacifica Foundation, the top U.S. court ruled that the words cited in Carlin’s routine were indecent, and that the government’s broadcast regulator could ban them from being aired at times when children might be listening.

US comedian George Carlin dies

The star was admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles on Sunday with chest pains and died later that day.

Jack Burns, Carlin’s comedy partner in the early 1960s, told the Associated Press agency: “He was a genius and I will miss him dearly.”

Carlin performed as recently as last weekend in Las Vegas.

Cult US comedian George Carlin dies at 71

How influential and edgy was Carlin back in the day? George Carlin hosted the first ever broadcast of the long-running comedy show Saturday Night Live. Let alone a comedy skit making it all the way to the Supreme Court.

Monkey Uses Garden Hose to Scale Moat and Flee Zoo

Where there is a will there is a monkey way. A spider monkey new to the city’s Washington Park Zoo used a garden hose to scale the walls of a moat and made a break for freedom. One never knows what a monkey will do next and they are capable of anything.

Workers were cleaning the moat at the time Wednesday. Zoo Director Johnny Martinez says workers had figured the monkeys would remain inside their enclosure during the cleaning even though the moat was empty of water.

However, one monkey made it past the moat, grabbed the hose and jumped onto the roof of a water filtration plant.

Comic Dick Martin of Laugh In Fame Dies at 86, RIP

Comic Dick Martin has passed away at the age of 86.

Who could not forget Dick Martin, one half of the hysterical comedic dynamic duo of Rowan and Martin on Laugh-In? Dick Martin provided so us with so many laughs and was a true comedy pioneer.The TV show Laugh In was way before its time. In recent years Dick Martin had suffered from severe respiratory problems.

“He had had some pretty severe respiratory problems for many years, and he had pretty much stopped breathing a week ago,” Greenberg said.

Martin had lost the use of one of his lungs as a teenager, and needed supplemental oxygen for most of the day in his later years.

He was surrounded by family and friends when he died just after 6 p.m., Greenberg said.

Dick Martin, thank you for the laughs … Rest in Peace.

Al Gore … Global Warming? … Jupiter in the Balance … Are Earthlings to Blame?

Here is some more fodder for the global warming crowd. Rumor has it that Al Gore is planning a trip to Jupiter to discuss the issue of global warning and humans effects on Jupiter’s environment. I knew humans should not have started colonizing on Jupiter.

Leave your comments as to who Al Gore should blame for the increase in temperature on Jupiter.

Explanation:  Now, Jupiter has a third red spot, again produced from a smaller whitish storm. All three are seen in this image made from data recorded on May 9 and 10 with the Hubble Space Telescope’s Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2. The spots extend above the surrounding clouds and their red color may be due to deeper material dredged up by the storms and exposed to ultraviolet light, but the exact chemical process is still unknown. For scale, the Great Red Spot has almost twice the diameter of planet Earth, making both new spots less than one Earth-diameter across. The newest red spot is on the far left (west), along the same band of clouds as the Great Red Spot and is drifting toward it. If the motion continues, the new spot will encounter the much larger storm system in August. Jupiter’s recent outbreak of red spots is likely related to large scale climate change as the gas giant planet is getting warmer near the equator.

John McCain on SNL … Humor is Sometimes the Best Form of Communication

Humor is funny … Bias is hateful not matter what form it is in. FYI: There needs to be a bit of truth in humor for it to be funny, not just attacking and mean.

If you cannot laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at? In today’s all too serious political gotcha world … it is refreshing to see a candidate not take themselves so seriously and show a real humorous side. John McCain this weekend on SNL did just that. Making fun of himself and the very thing that Democrats have been attacking him on … his age.

Democrats and Barack Obama have made no secret that they will attack the age of 71 year old Republican John McCain during the 2008 Presidential Election. They have already begun to do so. Democratic operatives like Bob Mulholland have already made not so vale references to Ronald Reagan and the fact that he had beginning stages of Alzheimer’s during his second administration. The assumption is that then all old people have Alzheimer’s.

There are three individuals running for one position, the President of the United States. Hillary Clinton, the female candidate, Barack Obama, the black candidate and John McCain, the old wiley veteran candidate.

If you thought the above was funny, McCain’s Weekend Update was GREAT!!!

We are constantly told that sexism and racism is wrong when considering a candidate. So then why is ageism OK? It is still a form of prejudice. It is lumping a group of people together and saying that they cannot perform a task, not because of their individual talents, but a group bias. Imagine what would happen if Republicans said that Hillary could not be President because she is a woman or Obama because he is of a certain skin color rather than based on their policies and visions.

Instead its fair game for the media and Democrats to attack McCain on his age. Why? A bias is a bias no matter how you slice it, sex color or age. Why are some forms of bias considered OK, and others off limits? One might guess its because of what political party one is affiliated with. After all, Democrats do not seem to have a problem with 90 year old WV Senator Robert Byrd and 76 year old MA Senator Ted Kennedy, 71 year old WV Senator Jay Rockefeller or 68 year old Iowa Senator Tom Harkin

Is that Deepak trying to make a get away from Carlos N’ Charlies? Let’s just hope the ALE blocked traffic from the road. Any time you put any vehicle on an Aruban road … it could be an adventure.

ORANJESTAD – After a very long time, the public could enjoy a traditional go-cart race again on the Queen’s birthday.  This race near Ponton was also the public attraction.  There were also several unregulated street market, kite competitions, and the annual Boulevard-walk from Malmok.

Why We Love “The Jawa Report” … The Empire Strikes Back … Take a Look See

The Jawa Report has always been on my must read list. Rusty and the gang are always on the front lines of dealing with terrorism and so many other issues. Check out the great Star Wars reworked video at The Jawa Report with Obama and Hillary as Luke and Darth Vader, a classic.

(click on the icon for video)

The only part I would question is its a tough call as to who would be the evil empire. May the force be with neither Obama or Hillary.
