Injured Pelican May Have Been Under the Influence

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. - A California brown pelican flew through the windshield of a motorist on the Pacific Coast Highway in Orange County. The driver was sober, the bird he hit may have been under the influence. The driver was not hurt. The pelican needed surgery for a broken foot, and also had a gash on its pouch. The Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center has received 16 calls of strange bird behavior in the past week, and was holding three other birds found disoriented and wandering through yards and in streets.

OK, where does a pelican buy booze? Does it hang out at a convenience store until it persuades someone to buy beer for it? Isn't there a law about flying under the influence?







Speaking of flying

Fight Causes JetBlue Flight to Be Diverted

NEW YORK - Police detained one woman and questioned two others early Sunday after a fight broke out in the first minutes of a flight to Puerto Rico, causing the plane to be diverted to John F. Kennedy Airport. One woman apparently started a fistfight with the other two.

In my 6-4-06 post I talked about another airline that made the same mistake. The passengers are going to riot because they are mad as hell and this is what happens when you quit serving peanuts.








Kentucky governor takes limo to cross the street

Frankfort Ky. - When Gov. Ernie Fletcher's day is over, he leaves his Capitol office, climbs into a Lincoln Town Car driven by a state trooper and returns to the Governor's Mansion — which is just across the street. Meanwhile, his administration is encouraging Kentuckians to get out and walk more for their health. In Kentucky, the Fletcher administration has begun running radio announcements across the state, calling on people to walk or bike more. In his State of the Commonwealth address earlier this year, Fletcher announced the kickoff of a fitness program to help fight obesity, diabetes and heart disease.

See, he is the government and the government keeps telling us we are obese and need exercise. Well, even he doesn't practice what he preaches. That is why I don't trust politicians.







Speaking of how obese we Americans have become, or so they tell us, check this out.

DETROIT - DaimlerChrysler AG Chief Executive Dieter Zetsche will announce plans to sell the company's popular and culturally hip micro Smart car in the U.S. starting next year. The two-seat car measures less than 9 feet long from bumper to bumper. According to specs, the fortwo can get up to 46 mpg in city driving and as much as 69 mpg on the highway, but its speed is not like its Mercedes counterpart. The two-seater is powered only by a three-cylinder gasoline engine.

OK OK if we are all so obese as the government says we are, then how are we going to fit in this thing? Hey, maybe the Kentucky governor should get rid of the Lincoln and get one of these!!!!!!!







Woman Gets Severed Finger in the Mail

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - A woman received a severed human finger in the mail along with a threatening letter from her ex-boyfriend that said, "This is my last chance to touch you," police said.

Ohhh, that is such a touchy feely thing - how sweet!! However, one does have to wonder which finger he sent her. Maybe it was a different message!!!!!!
