Litter Box Full, Woman Sets Fire

~ Hey... I used to live in this town ~
Port Angeles Wash.;"Clallam County Superior Court tie an alleged arson in an apartment complex to a smelly cat litter box. Charged Marie Adeline Calkins, 63, with first-degree arson, accusing her of setting a fire Tuesday in her apartment on South C Street. No one was injured. She told officers she lit the fire because "she was depressed and upset that her kitty litter box was full and smelled," court papers said. Judge George L. Wood set bail at $50,000 and ordered a mental health assessment."
Well Never heard of getting rid of the stinky cat-box smell like this before..LMAO!! Maybe someone should of told her about Baking Soda! Just a little each day helps with the smell. Or she should of at least went out-side and got some fresh dirt. Would of better better and a whole heck of a lot cheaper then trying to Burn!! Down the the building-unless..... the cat used the whole apt., For a litter-box...LOL

Bush's-No Child Left Behind Act

"Much was made two years ago about the No Child Left Behind act. It truly was supposed to make sure that every child in American schools would receive a good education, regardless of race or financial status. Funds were supposed to be made available to school districts to make sure the program worked. Standardized tests were mandated. Despite the hooray, it appears the promises made in NCLB were mainly empty, politics as usual. Today, the same Elementary and Secondary School programs are in place. Now, they have simply been renamed. They are now called No Child Left Behind. Under the old title and now the new one, the same requirements are in place. But, and here's the kicker, while the same educational programs are required, the federal funds to leave no child behind have actually decreased while mandates have increased. So, we've all been duped. Not only does NCLB not truly help students, but it does virtually nothing to assure that students are not left behind. Students are supposed to be helped, that was an NCLB promise It hasn't happened. No funds are made available. In fact, the president's budget proposed to cut these programs by $20 million during the last fiscal year. The lesson: Don't be fooled... Look at what's really happening. In this case, it's a bunch of hooey." I as a parent know this one only to well... As I have children in school and spend hours, and count less days fighting with the system to make sure my children are getting what they need to do well in school.... And all I see and get from Pocatello Idaho Dist. #25 is we are doing the best we can. Still I see larger head-count in my child's classrooms, more homework sent home, everyday. My kids sometimes spend hours just doing homework! So what are they doing in school? I tell them to ask the teachers for help and they say to me, the teachers are always to busy to help everyone! So... Now tell me again, how does the ...No Child Left Behind Act Work...And make me believe you?

Men Beware Of Your Dog

town of Galati;" An elderly Romanian man mistook his penis for a chicken's neck, cut it off and his dog rushed up and ate it. Said 67-year-old man, he rushed out into his yard in his underwear to kill a noisy chicken keeping him awake at night. "I confused it with the chicken's neck," Mocanu, who was admitted to the emergency hospital in Galati, was quoted as saying. "I cut it ... And the dog rushed and ate it." Doctors said the man, who was brought in by an ambulance bleeding heavily, was now out of danger."
Oh! My Lord!.. You would think he knew the difference when he grabbed it wouldn't you? And why would he be that close to a chicken in the dark! To not be able to tell the difference..? Well guys you heard it hear..Never heard of a women mistaking hers for a chicken neck, have ya..LOL
