05.13.08 Primary Tuesday
Even though low voter turnout is predicted, get out and vote today.
News junkies that we are here, the topic of conversation this morning over a box full of Mongo’s finest artery cloggers was the level to which the local newscasters have lowered themselves to. For example, last night I watched the first 3 minutes of the Action 3 news at 10. It looked like the entire thing was filmed by a monkey with a curling iron shoved up his keester. The camera was bobbing and weaving..zoom in zoom out..how long ago did that camera action go out of style..click
KETV and Their I TEAM (Guess what the I really stands for) was not much better. The in depth investigation into to candidates for the South O seat in the Legislature had us on the edge of our seats as Karol Kloss grilled the Creighton Student about the California tags on his car. Can someone sign her up for an Oprah makeover. Nothing has put fear like that in an interview since the Best Dressed Councilman in Omaha Frank Brown used to be a field reporter for KMTV.
The one of the top stories was a Middle School solar powered car club. Earth shattering news like that made me want to subscribe to Cappers Weekly again.
A suspected shoplifter got more than he bargained for when the pet store owner confronted him about the iguana he had shoved down his pants. The man threw the bag containing the iguana on the floor, killing the animal, then attempted to flee only to have the owner who trains daily in mixed martial arts chase him down and put the fear of being disassembled into him. The man is charged with 2nd degree robbery. They should have let the store owner have a few rounds with him before taking him in.
And Omaha Police have stepped up patrols in the NO-K Coral after all the shootings as of late. Police said there is little they can do about a popular hang out where people gather on the weekends. Attempts were made to get comment from Ernest but he was to busy looking into the man ordered cuffed to the chair by the Judge to protect himself from himself,even though the mans mother didn’t see a problem with it. Guess what is happening in his district isn’t as important.

Saw there was a “Special Report” about out of state tags and why. I didn’t tune in. An idiot could figure it out. It is a lot more expensive to license a car (including all taxes) in this state than it is in all of our neighboring states. Maybe if it was more reasonable they would find more people doing it legally and therefore create more tax revenue. Yep I said it. Lower taxes and fees on plates and you might just find that there is more money to go around. I hope they don’t start requiring personal property taxes on Speedo’s and capes!
By the way wasn’t it Mae West that said, “Is that an iguana in your pants or are you just happy to see me?”
