oods. One guy says to the other, "You wanna be rich?". The friend nods his head and grins..."You betch your ass I do!" and off went "Dumb and Dumber" to their college instructor to call a press conference and let the world know that one of history's mysteries only second to "Nessie" the Lochness Monster, has been solved. His name is Sasquatch and this person/animal/thing is said to be angry. Afterall, he's been on the run since before biblical times and he's tired. That's close to what their excuse was when they made their announcement and failed to produce any concrete evidence of Bigfoot's capture other than a leather glove (probably the "other" glove of O.J.'s) with contaminated DNA. The monster it seems, is tucked away in a secure spot deep in a mountainside near Roswell, New Mexico and just feet away from the 1947 UFO crash site where aliens are also still held. These two dopes thought someone was gonna believe them without proof? No body, no DNA, no pictures, ...no dice. Shot down again as another hoax and a poorly executed one as well. While all of America snickered at their "discovery" they DID manage to re-affirm one theory: Drinking beer on an empty stomach goes to your head a lot quicker. Enough said.

thought of this idea as school gets set to kick off a new year. ABC 7 Chicago reported on this "heck of an idea" yesterday. The Rev, James Meeks and Rev. Al Sharpton have already caused a near riot with their suggestion of letting the Chicago "underprivelaged" school kids miss the beginning of school because of poor learning conditions. Hey, bussing was already tried once and ran it's course after a few years. To take these kids from the South Side and ship them up to Winnetka for eight hours a day won't solve the problem either. Thank goodness that someone else was listening except their solution isn't to worthy of being put to use either. Someone stood up yesterday and addressed the City of Chicago on a new idea to kill two birds with one stone on the subject of schooling. Since the prison system in Illinois is jam packed and 95% of Chicago kids have a father in jail or no father at all, the best thing to do is give inmates a free pass for a day so these guys can mentor a kid and scare the kid with "You'll end up just like me if you don't go to school" horror stories. The whole thing is way too crazy to believe and sends the wrong message. Is it safe to assume that a kid skipping school, failing, or dropping out will become an ID number in the prison system? Probably not. An earner of minimum wage most definitely, but not necessarily a felon. When grown men don't bother to pay for their children's child support or turn to crime or killing, this isn't a result of bad schooling or going to school in a bad neighborhood. A free pass for a day to accompany a kid to school? I suppose the temptation wouldn't exist to walk off the bus and start running. Conformity and reform are two things that go with jail, while you're in jail. Show any inmate an exit sign and he'll make a run for it no matter what. To the lazy parent "too busy" to keep on eye on the kids, the best education begins at home. Don't blame "the System". It's nob
ody's fault but your own!

ody's fault but your own!A nice sunny day at the beach with the family? Grab a stick and some posterboard and let's protest ...for anything! Not everyone in Chicago was too content with packing a picnic lunch and enjoying the Air and Water Show. The recovering Bill Murray announced his plans to "fall off the wagon" again after leaping from a plane and asking for a drink. CSI star Gary Sinese and his band played on as aircraft whizzed by overhead and boats glided across Lake Michigan. What a pretty picture it was ..until a swarm of picket signs began swirling in the air, many of the folks eager to protest owever, not really sure what they were protesing for. Oh yeah, it seems that this show was just propaganda for Washington D.C. If you love to watch the jets flip and fling around with their silly stunts, you too can do the same thing if you join the Armed Forces. Seems that someone told someone who told someone else that the show was a recruiting tool to get the high school grads to sign up for Iraq, Afghanistan, and anyplace else. Although the group was rather small in size, they managed to heckle the passerbys and condemn the event and yes, the President too. I saw the print ads and fliers for the Air and Water Show and not once did I see Uncle Sam pointing at me and wanting me to be there. Don't we as Americans know what a good time is anymore, or must we find fault in everything? There's always gonna be one bad apple in the bushel barrel.
