Starrman's Blog

Hey folks.

I will be using starrman1 as my blogging name. I changed my e-mail service, and got a new e-mail address, BUT Fox does not have a way to update or change the info, so all of my comment notifications go to my old address, that will be defunct in 15 days. Will be using my old avatar though, I hope!

In anticipation of another flurry of immigration legislation in the General Assembly, Virginia business leaders are joining to oppose laws that would punish employers who use undocumented workers. Organizers, including Julia Ciarlo with the National Federation of Independent Business, formed the group Virginia Employers for Sensible Immigration Policy.

One bill that failed last session would have revoked the state business license of any employer found to hire undocumented workers.

Politicians have increasingly targeted businesses as they TRY to get tough on illegal immigration, a perennial hot-button issue in the Latino-rich northern areas of the state. “Virginia Employers for Sensible Immigration Policy”??

sen·si·ble                  

adjective

1. Perceptible by the senses or by the mind.

2. Readily perceived; appreciable.

3. Having a perception of something; cognizant.

4. Acting with or exhibiting good sense.

"Exhibiting good sense", to me means that the businesses that hire and employ illegal aliens should pay the price, and lose their licenses!

As long as those businesses keep placating and fueling the fire by employing them, we NEVER get rid of them.

Federal immigration authorities say, Eunice Lopez, 26,has been charged with bigamy, accused of marrying 10 men between 2002 and 2006 without divorcing any of them,.

Lopez arrived in South Florida from Cuba in 2002 and was a legal U.S. resident. She charged her husbands an unspecified amount to help them secure immigration status and continued asking the men for money long after the wedding, threatening to expose them if they didn't pay. The Florida state attorney's office began investigating her after being tipped off by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Lopez was released on $18,000 bond, her last known address was in Hialeah, just north of Miami. And what do you want to bet that she disappears into the throngs of Cubans in Florida, and NEVER gets a day in jail, much less any kind of punishment?

OUCH!!!

Washington County Sheriff's deputies responding to a Motel 6 near the Valley Mall in Hagerstown, MD, found a man with a car key embedded in his temple, just above his right ear.

James Jackson, 28, told authorities his girlfriend stabbed him with the key during an argument. Police have issued an arrest warrant for Rana Momen-Kinnard. She's charged with first-degree assault.

That even makes my head hurt!!

The London government said it would ban the sale of samurai swords because the weapons had been used in a number of serious, high profile attacks. The Home Office said the swords would be added to the Offensive Weapons Order beginning April of next year, meaning they could not be imported, sold or hired(?). Home Office Minister Vernon Coaker said, "In the wrong hands, samurai swords are dangerous weapons, we recognize it is the cheap, easily available samurai swords which are being used in crime and not the genuine more expensive samurai swords which are of interest to collectors and martial arts enthusiasts." However collectors of genuine Japanese swords and those used by martial arts enthusiasts would be exempt from the ban.

Sounds like they may have a proliferation of “Saturday Night Special Swords”!! Sounds to me like it is time to have a no questions asked sword buy back program!!

In 1999, Eden Strang seriously wounded 11 people when he went on the rampage with a samurai sword at a Roman Catholic Church near his home.

In 2000, Robert Ashman murdered a Liberal Democrat councilor at the offices of Cheltenham MP Nigel Jones, who was also seriously hurt in the attack.

So from 1999 through 2007 12 people were wounded and 1 was killed using a samurai sword. Using that logic cars, trains, busses, and God knows what else, should be banned also. Once again the elite British intelligence amazes and astounds me.

Or how about the Washington Monument, or even the White House??

These guys are class "A" idiots to say the least. Even the guy that lost his leg was almost asking for it. His sheer idiocy in proclaiming the " magical powers" left him out there, for the type of nut jobs that attacked him.

Two men attacked an 80-year-old, self-proclaimed holy man in India and chopped off his right leg, believing it had magical powers. Yanadi Kondaiah, who claimed that those who touched his leg would be cured of illness or have wishes granted, was hospitalized in serious condition after the attack. Kondaiah told police that two men offered him a drink as thanks for previously helping them with his magical touch.
After he had passed out drunk, the men chopped off the leg below the knee with a sickle and left him to die, passing villagers found him and took him to a hospital.

The Frog and Golf
A man takes the day off from work and decides to go out golfing.
He is on the second hole when henotices a frog sitting next to the green. He thinks nothing of it and is about to shoot when he hears, Ribbit 9 Iron.'
The man looks around and doesn't see anyone! Again, he hears, 'Ribbit 9 Iron.' He looks at the frog and decides to prove the frog wrong, puts the club away, and grabs a 9 iron.
Bam!
He hits it 10 inches from the cup. He is shocked. He says to the frog, 'Wow that's amazing. You must be a lucky frog, eh? The frog replies, 'Ribbit Lucky frog.'
The man decides to take the frog with him to the next hole. 'What do you think frog?' the man asks. 'Ribbit 3 wood.' The guy takes out a 3 wood and,
Bam!

A hole in one.

The man is befuddled and doesn't know what to say. By the end of the day, the man golfed the best game of golf in his life and asks the frog, 'OK where to next?'
The frog replies, 'Ribbit Las Vegas’
They go to Las Vegas and the guy says, 'OK frog, now what?' The frog says, 'Ribbit Roulette.' Upon approaching the roulette table, the man asks, 'What do you think I should bet?' The frog replies, 'Ribbit, $3000 dollars, black 6.'
Now, this is a million-to-one shot to win, but after the golf game the man figures what the heck.
Bam!

Tons of cash comes sliding back across the table.
The man takes his winnings and buys the best room in the hotel.

He sits the frog down on the bed and says, 'Frog, I don't know how to repay you.
You've won me all this money and I am forever grateful.'
The frog replies,

'Ribbit, Kiss Me.'

He figures why not, since after all that the frog did for him, he deserves it.

With a kiss, the frog turns into a gorgeous 15-year-old girl.

'And that, your honor, is how that 15 year old girl ended up in my hotel room.  So help me God or my name is not

William Jefferson Clinton.'

Also, here is a one liner, compliments of priveye:

POLITICIANS AND DIAPERS BOTH NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN, AND FOR THE VERY SAME REASON!

A contractor who helped discover bundles of Depression-era U.S. currency totaling $182,000 hidden behind bathroom walls of an Ohio home said the homeowner should turn the money over to him or at least share it. Bob Kitts said his feud with the owner of the 83-year old house, and a former high school classmate, has deteriorated to the point where they speak to each other only through their lawyers.

The fight began in May 2006 when Kitts was gutting Reece's bathroom and found a box below the medicine cabinet that contained $25,200. He called Reece, who rushed home, and they found another steel box tied to the end of a wire nailed to a stud. Inside was more than $100,000. Kitts took some of the currency for an appraisal and learned that many of the $10 bills were rare 1929-series Cleveland Federal Reserve bank notes, worth about $85 each. There also were $500 bills and one $1,000 bill in the cache. The appraiser has estimated the value of the find at over $500,000 dollars. The money was apparently hidden there by a previous owner and business man that owned the house in that time period.

Kitts asserts he found lost money, and court rulings in Ohio establish that a "finders keepers" law applies if there's no reason to believe any owner will reappear to claim it.

It is found money, I say at the very least split it with the contractor, or at the very least give him a 10 to 20 percent finders fee. Heck, the contractor could have just kept his mouth shut and kept it all, when he discovered it.

D.C. police were called Wednesday to help break up yet another large fight at Ballou High School. Police said the lunchroom fight was part of an ongoing dispute between two neighborhoods in the Southeast community, and this incident was triggered by a beating earlier this week. An 18-year-old student was jumped by a group of male students from another neighborhood at a bus stop after school, and the attackers broke the student's nose.

Wednesday morning, the victim's mother and sister went to Ballou to demand the student be transferred.
Investigators say the two women were attacked by the same group of students who beat up her child, sparking a larger brawl in the lunchroom.  Students say a group of teenage males were fighting the 36-year-old mother and a group of mainly teenage females.
Police were called in to break up the fight, and arrested four teenagers and the student's mother.

How and why was the mother and her sister allowed access to the lunchroom, is that where the principal's office is?? And where the heck was the so-called school security?? How soon will it be before we hear on the news that there were numerous shootings at Ballou stemming from this BS??

I know ex-mpd, I have to agree here, "HOODRATS"!!

The town of Vienna, Virginia is considering an alternative to fireworks for future July 4 celebrations. They had the worst of many fireworks malfunctions in Northern Virginia last July 4th, and now town officials are considering replacing the annual pyrotechnics display with a laser light show. 11 people were injured, two seriously, during last July’s fireworks display when rockets from a box of Chinese-made mortar tubes landed in a crowd. The same type malfunctions occurred at five other locations in Fairfax County and Fairfax City that same night.

I have a novel idea, since the fourth of July is indeed Independence Day, let’s fill up as many busses as possible with illegal aliens, and send them packing!

Now that is what I would call declaring Independence, removing all of those money draining parasites from our cities and communities!!

Laurel City Police have arrested 30-year-old Rodolfo Ramirez, an illegal alien from Guatemala, in connection with a fatal hit and run in Laurel, MD.

Ramirez has a valid Maryland driver’s license. Police said he confessed to be the driver who hit and killed 45-year-old Ruth Storm on November 25th.

The police chief said if Ramirez had stopped at the scene, he would not have been charged.
The police also want to know how an illegal alien has a valid driver's license. I think many more of the legal citizenry in Maryland would like an answer to that very question too.

A lawyer in Prince William County,Stephen Conrad of Purcellville, is charged with forging his clients' signatures and keeping their settlement award money.


He is being held on $1 million bond, and was charged last week with embezzlement and four counts of forging documents. The charges come after a case he worked on for a Chantilly couple who had a car accident in 2001.

Police said Conrad allegedly forged the couple's signatures on insurance and civil claims and kept the money for himself.

And they wonder why they keep getting such a bad rap!! Go figure??

A warning label on a small tractor that reads;

"Danger: Avoid Death", is this years $500 grand prize winner in the nation's wackiest warning label contest.

The Wacky Warning Label Contest, now in its 11th year, is conducted by a Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch, as part of an effort to show the effects of lawsuits on warning labels.

The $250 second place was for a label found on an iron-on T-shirt transfer that warns:

"Do not iron while wearing shirt."

The $100 third-place prize for a label on a baby stroller featuring a small storage pouch that warns:

"Do not put child in bag."

Honorable mention was for a label on a letter opener that says:

"Caution: Safety goggles recommended."

 Are we really becoming a nation of mindless idiots

that need labels like this for our own protection??
