The Holiday Seasons Bring out the Bizarro in People … Husband Stabbed after Opening Gift, Man Running Naked With Ax and Chinese City Banning Christmas Trees, Oh My

Is it the stress of the holidays that bring out the wackos or was it just their time to Monkey_Christmasgo insane? The following story should be a lesson to those curious people who can’t seem to wait until Christmas to open their presents. We all get upset when people peak at their Christmas presents early, but stabbing them! Of course there always is an underlying root cause to every argument. According to reports, as the argument escalated, Misty Johnson accused her husband of having an affair.

A woman stabbed her husband with a kitchen knife following an argument that began when she accused him of opening a Christmas present early, authorities said Friday.

Misty Johnson, 34, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and battery, a felony, and misdemeanor domestic battery. Her husband, Shawn Fay Johnson, 34, was treated at a hospital for a wound to the chest, police said.

Santa Claus “HO-HO-HO” Offensive??? Some People Really Need to Get a Life

LEAVE SANTA CLAUS ALONE …

Can children please still be allowed to have a childhood! So now its no longer a war on “Christ”mas in the religious sense, but instead a war Santa_Ron Santa Claus in an ignorant one. Santa Claus no longer allowed to say, “HO-HO-HO” because some narrow minded fools think that children will get confused because its too close to the slang connotation foe whore.  Are you joking?  

Santas in Australia’s largest city have been told not to use Father Christmas’s traditional “ho ho ho” greeting because it may be offensive to women, it was reported Thursday.

Sydney’s Santa Clauses have instead been instructed to say “ha ha ha” instead, the Daily Telegraph reported.

One disgruntled Santa told the newspaper a recruitment firm warned him not to use “ho ho ho” because it could frighten children and was too close to “ho”, a US slang term for prostitute.

Halloween Jack-O’-Lanterns Tax … Is Pumpkin a Food?

Think we have a government with just a bit too much time on their hands? How misguided can we possible be? In Iowa they seem to be more concerned with taxing pumpkins than dealing with illegal immigration. Oh sorry, Mexican nationals.  

Wait until Sally and Linus get their pumpkin tax bill. Some times one just has to scratch their head and say WTF! So what does the Iowa Great_PumpkinDepartment of Revenue have, a “Pumpkin Revenue” Enforcement Officer? Will this individual be dressed up like the “Great Pumpkin” and hide in pumpkin patches waiting to pounce on unsuspecting farmers? As Blue Crab Boulevard so well states, this is “one of the most blatant squeeze the peasants move by a state bureaucracy that I have ever seen.”

Do our bureaucratic officials really have nothing better than to sit around and dream this crap up? Who sits in that board meeting and says, “I have a great idea to pad the coffers, let’s tax pumpkins?” We actually pay these people’s salaries to do this?

DES MOINES, Iowa – The Iowa Department of Revenue is taxing jack-o’-lanterns this Halloween. The new department policy was implemented after officials decided that pumpkins are used primarily for Halloween decorations, not food, and should be taxed, said Renee Mulvey, the department’s spokeswoman. Wtf

“We made the change because we wanted the sales tax law to match what we thought the predominant use was,” Mulvey said. “We thought the predominant use was for decorations or jack-o’-lanterns.”

Previously, pumpkins had been considered an edible squash and exempted from the tax. The department ruled this year that pumpkins are taxable — with some exceptions — if they are advertised for use as jack-’o-lanterns or decorations.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA: July 4, 2007 … INDEPENDENCE DAY

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY … INDEPENDENCE DAY

Declaration of Ind

As we celebrate America’s birthday today, please do not ever forget that independence and freedom are never free. The sacrifice of bravery of so many some 231 years earlier and today are what maintain our Independence. Those words scribed in The Declaration of Independence ring just as powerful today as they did in 1776.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

Here’s a blast from the past … “The Shot Heard ‘Round the World”

 
As the Gateway Pundits reminds us that The United States is “Still… The Home of the Brave and the Land of the Free”.
 
Maybe many of our present day politicians in Congress can take a page from those brave men from 1776. It would appear that Americans today would rather prefer the politicians from 1776 as on 46% say Congress is doing a poor job. Thank God the present day Congress was not a part of The Continental Congress of 1776.
