Az I See It....

Prologue:  The important thing about your lot in life is whether you use it for building or parking!

International:  U.S. citizens are being fined for trespassing on openly-marked state-owned land, yet there is no penalty for illegal immigrants who do the same!....Good news for married gays!  The American Psychological Association reports that there is no evidence that any therapy can turn a gay person straight - but marriage can turn a straight person gay!

National:  The Cash for Clunkers program will work - putting people back to work, saving consumers on gasoline, and taking older, less fuel-efficient cars off of the roads.  But before you walk away from your heap, strip it of everything that is not required to drive it.  If you don't, the dealerships and salvage companies will - before they crush what little remains(and don't forget to eject all of your CDs!)....Does anyone really believe that President Obama(or ANY president) could have fixed - in only 200 days - what President Bush took 8 years to screw up?....How times change.  Two female journalists, released after 14 months captivity in North Korea, proclaimed that they knew their ordeal was almost over when they saw former President Bill Clinton.  Ten years ago, women seeing Clinton felt that their ordeal was just beginning!  Ten years from now, George W. Bush may be heralded as the one responsible for the proliferation of the graphic novel(comic books!)....One of the biggest problems in America is mental health scare, as Republican windbags, such as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glen Beck, John McCain, John Kyl, and Sarah Palin are literally frightening senior citizens into thinking the world is ready to collapse on them - and blaming problems THEY created on the attempts by the Obama administration to fix them.  Well, maybe not Palin so much - she quit!....Former Atlanta Falcons' QB Michael Vick, convicted of running a dog-fighting ring and killing dogs, served his two-year prison sentence, and cannot get back into pro football, although he is eligible.  Meanwhile, Cleveland Browns' wide receiver Donte Stallworth serves a mere 30-day sentence for DUI manslaughter and should have no trouble returning to his team, after a probable suspension - along with other NFL players whose involvement in other murders and domestic violence have not deterred them from league and fan acceptance.  The NFL is going to the dogs!....Charles Manson disciple Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme will soon be released on parole, after serving a 30-year prison term for her attempt on President Ford's life.  She must serve a four-game suspension before she is eligible to play in the NFL!

State/Local:  To stay solvent and profitable - and using all bankruptcy tools possible, Basha's is seeking to cut leases, contracts, and other debt - everything but prices!....Ironic?  A serial robber has targeted a string of valley Payday Loan stores - typically known for robbing those who who can least aford it!....Brace yourself, hockey fans(both of you!)  The Phoenix Coyotes will soon begin their final season in the valley.  Then, it's O Canada!

Epilogue:  Red tape can be cut, but only lengthwise!
