Congress Approves Cash for Clunkers Program

Published by sara under Good Things to Know, Politics

We really try to avoid talking about the pros and cons of government spending because it is an issue that will never be resolved, but this issue affects lots of people here in Sacramento.  Whether you agree or disagree with it, Congress has approved a “cash for clunkers” program, bill H. R. 2346, Thursday to provide government incentives of $3,500 to $4,500 to motorists who trade in their gas guzzlers for more fuel efficient vehicles after Senate Democrats narrowly defeated a Republican effort to kill the plan.

PETA Wishes Obama Wouldn’t Hurt A Fly

Published by sara under Good Things to Know

Just when you think you’ve heard everything…..think again.   

“We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals,” PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich said Wednesday.  “We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals.”  The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants President Obama to try taking a more humane attitude the next time he’s bothered by a fly in the White House.  PETA is sending President Barack Obama a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside.

 

I was amazed that anyone would really comment on whether or not the President killed a fly that was interrupting his conversation, but leave it to PETA to find a negative spin.  I saw the video that was taken during Obama’s interview where he killed the fly and in his defense he did warn the little guy more than once to vacate the premises but he didn’t heed the warnings.  Too bad Obama isn’t a cop, maybe then he would have just tazed the sucker and not had the wrath of PETA for killing a fly.

 

I personally was impressed with the Ninja President and his quick moves.  Makes me feel secure knowing he will be able to grab that 3:00AM phone call before it goes to voice mail.  Maybe PETA should give that some thought and just get back to the business of painting fur coats.
