Az I See It....
Prologue: The number one cause of computer problems is computer solutions.
International: In a recent speech near Madrid, Pope Benedict XVI lamented the 'dwindling of the faith,' referring to loss of Catholic membership in Spain. Coincidentally, pedophile, sex-abusing priests are not harbored in Spain!
National: Again, major corporations are declaring record profits, while unemployment rises ever higher. Many of these companies also sponsor major sporting events, etc., where sometimes thousands of volunteers are invited to participate - it's supposed to fun and an honor to do so!....Nationally, volunteerism is down for non-profit organizations, but at record levels for for-profit companies and events!....Payroll taxes will soon rise to previously mandated levels, as Obama-sponsored decreases will be allowed to expire. Republicans say it is better to tax the poor than to tax the rich - because the poor don't have jobs that the wealthy were supposed to have created - the purpose of the 10-plus years of Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. As Donald Trump has reiterated on many occasions, "A poor man never gave me a job." Well, Mr. Trump, a wealthy man never gave me a job, either!....Michele Bachmann - what a sweetie - coerced a small crowd of Iowans to sing 'Happy Birthday' to commemorate the August 16th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death. Why not a tea party?!....In 2008, Hurricane Ike hit mainland USA , causing $10B in damages. If Hurricane Irene hits the east coast with the same expected force, damages could reach $5B, considering the economy's effect on property values!....Director of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, announced that her department will no longer deport illegal immigrants, unless they are guilty of crimes other than entering the county illegally, stealing one's Social Security Number or identity, or taking a job that would otherwise be available for legal citizens!....In related news, Speaker of the House John Boehner announced that he would seek to balance the next budget by deporting senior citizens, who would otherwise receive Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits!
State: Arizona legislators balance the budget by slashing funds to education, Medicaid, other social services, and then drained almost all of the legally established(supposedly protected) citizen Recovery Funds, paid into by contractors - not the state!....Eight Arizona doctors have written nearly half of the 10,000 medical marijuana prescriptions issued to date, while almost never following legal protocol. When asked to comment on their alleged criminal and ethical violations, they declined, saying that they would rather take the high road!
Local: Worst TV sports coverage? Phoenix, Arizona - any and every station. The weather reports receive much more airtime. Really? Don't know the weather? Open your window blinds, or step outside!....Saints Simon and Jude Church has ended the practice of allowing 5th through 8th grade girls to participate in altar duties during Catholic masses. The reason given was that altar duties are to prepare boys for the priesthood, but numbers show no correlation to sexually abused altar boys wanting to become priests!
