Az I See It....
Prologue: Middle school-aged youths exhibit some of the filthiest language I've ever heard!(Parents????)
National: Republican legislators are opposed to giving American citizens access to the same medical insurance that the taxpayers afford to Congress. They claim it will cost too much, and may then jeopardize their own continued FREE and LIMITLESS medical benefits!....Phoenix is still the fifth-largest city in the nation, along with the fifth-lowest per capita income!....A Burger King ad portrays an open-mouthed woman about to glom onto an elongated sub sandwich, with the caption "It'll Blow Your Mind Away!" Puritans are up-in-arms over this sexual innuendo, but I seem to hear the word 'screwed' on almost every television program being used as a euphemism for the 'F' word, with NO resultant protests! Blows your mind away, doesn't it?....GM and Chrysler sales plummeted again, in June, as both corporations refuse to accept the fact that their products are over-priced, and can only be afforded by those who drive Mercedes!....Some male researchers are indicating that a daily dose of sex will prolong men's lives. Womnen researchers were hung up on the word 'prolong!'
State: Ah, yes....the budget! Why do Arizona citizens NOT want a temporary 1% sales tax increase to balance the 2010 budget? Because it is much easier to extend an tax increase than it is to create one. This legislature does not deserve more of our money, as they have mismanaged and squandered what we've already given them. It's not that we don't trust them - we JUST ---- DON"T ---- TRUST THEM!....If the state's operations shut down, government services such as investigation of some crimes, will also cease - like the investigation of the state legislature in withholding the budget from the governor, allowing vital humanitarian services to shut down!....Renewable energy corporations and other commercial entities await relocation tax-break incentives, by the state legislature. Interestingly, none of them ever provide their employees better wages and benefits, or pass their saving on to consumers!....
Local: Some valley cities are considering tapping into their 'rainy day funds' to ease the effects of budget shortfalls. Excuse me? Cities have available funds that they are hesitant to use in these catastrophic economic times? Just goes to show - Phoenix metro is just a small town with a lot of people!....Basha's has announced that it will close some 'underperforming' stores, costing 300 jobs. There was a time that Basha's prices were highly competitive, and I spent most of my food dollars there. Now, slae prices seem to be higher than other grocery chains' regular pricing!
Epilogue: Al Franken will finally be sworn in as the junior senator from Minnesota. I remember when Al, short and squatty, and Tom Davis, taller and leaner - were 'the duo that weighed the same.' And then there was Stuart Smalley, on SNL, and his daily, self-affirmation. I think Minnesotans, doggone it, will really like him!
