Saturday Morning Prattle News  

Posted by Stan Harrington

Knowing that some do not have the time to spend cruising the pages of the local news paper, so I though I would bring you some of the news stories that I feel deserves reading in a concise form.

WORLD NEWS:
One should never upset an elephant! "February 15, 2007. Abey, a four-ton eighteen-year-old elephant, threw off his mahout and American rider and went on a rampage destroying a vehicle before being subdued. REUTERS/Buddhika Weerasinghe "
"Who is your mama"
A two year old piglet approaches its adoptive mother, Sai Mai, a six year old tiger at the Siracha Tiger Zoo in Thailand. The "piglet" is dressed in traditional clothing in celebration of the Chinese New Year which will commence on Sunday, February 18th.
POLITICAL NEWS
Political views expressed are unbiased and balanced.
The "Hillary Clinton Election Committee" wanting to take advantage of the forth coming Chinese New Year made a major announcement on Friday. From the list of those candidates that have filed as candidates for the Presidency of the United States, their candidate, Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) is the only one of them that was born in the "Year of the Pig".
Do you plan on voting in your next election. Remember, "voting for politicians is like changing diapers, they should be changed often because they are full of _ _ _ _"
ENVIRONMENTAL NEWS
In 1972 a major environmental project was undertaken in the State of Florida. To relieve the pressure in their landfills, they created an artificial barrier off the coast of Florida using two million tires. The artificial reef that was constructed was a disaster. Coral and sea vegetation did not replenish the area. Since this construction project, the cables and wires banding the tires together have deteriorated due to corrosion. The sea floor is now covered with tires with some showing up on the beautiful sandy beaches of this fair state. Through the year of 2010, the State of Florida has budgeted a total of 3.4 million dollars to aid in the clean up effort. The U.S. Navy has also volunteered personnel, time and equipment to assist in the operation as a training exercise for their divers.
MOVIE REVIEW
The movie, "Man of the Year" starring Robin Williams will be released to the video stores on Tuesday, February 20th. I personally reviewed the movie this evening and found it very entertaining, humorous, and reflective of our political system. If you enjoy the humor of Robin Williams, you will enjoy this movie. I will give it 3.75 stars.

the piggie was lucky the tiger didnt like bacon.
if that artificial reef was in the Gay Bay the Navy would not even been allowed to help in the
cleanup. They swapped their ROTC programs for
a curriculum that rewrites history and blasts the
military.

You really do not like San Fran do you? But it seems to always be on your route, do they have "mocha girl" espresson stands there? There is one in Beaver, Georgia since you are going that way - oh, also one in Beaver, Oklahoma according to my GPS software, it is located on 19th and Green at Exit 46 of the interstate. I got an alert, but I was into a program I couldnot get out of and save or I would have joined you on line. Drive careful and watch out for the revenuers.
