Judge Throws Out Lawsuit Against God

LINCOLN, Neb. A judge has thrown out a Nebraska legislator's lawsuit against God, saying the Almighty wasn't properly served due to his unlisted home address.

State Sen. Ernie Chambers filed the lawsuit last year seeking a permanent injunction against God.

He said God has made terroristic threats against the senator and his constituents in Omaha, inspired fear and caused "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants."

Chambers, who has served a record 38 years in the Nebraska Legislature, is not returning next year because of term limits.

Four things come to mind here.

The first is this is a clear case of how politicians don't have enough to do.

Second, this is a prime example of how politicians waste the taxpayers' dollar.

The third is what is in the drinking water in Nebraska? They have term limits that let you serve 38 years.

Fourth, Thank God for a wise judge.

Family cremated mom on BBQ, kept benefits

CORNING, Calif. -The family of a dead elderly woman cremated her remains on a makeshift barbecue and continued collecting her retirement checks amounting to more than $25,000, authorities in Northern California said.

Ramona Allmond's daughter and grandson were arrested Sunday on suspicion of embezzlement, elder abuse and disposing of a body without a permit.

The only statement the daughter and grandson had was that mom/grandma was a tough old broad and they should have fattened her up a little and marinated her longer in the barbecue sauce before the barbecue.


Speaking of Moms

This woman has to be a prime candidate for mother of the year.

Mom allegedly takes daughter to fight, intervenes

VICTORVILLE, Calif. -A mother who took her 12-year-old daughter to a Victorville park to fight another youngster has been arrested after allegedly jumping into the fracas.

The woman was jailed for investigation of corporal injury to a child.

San Bernardino County Sheriff's investigators say the 31-year-old woman took her daughter to the Mojave Desert park to fight the other 12-year-old girl.

When they arrived, the girls began fighting. Witnesses told deputies that the woman intervened when her daughter appeared to be losing.

The woman allegedly grabbed the girl's hair and slapped the youngster in the face.

I say the mother should have stayed out of the fight so the daughter would learn that you can't always win and she should learn to fight better.

With the price of gas these days, I will say it is admirable of the mother to drive the 12-year-old rather than make her ride her bike to the fight.

Surfing The Web Stimulates Older Brains

Googling is good for Grandpa and Grandma, says a new study by researchers at UCLA.

The study, which looked at brain activity during web searches, resulted in a fascinating finding: Middle-aged to older adults who know their way around the Internet had more stimulation of decision-making and complex reasoning areas of the brain than peers who were new to web surfing.
