So this guy in Pennsylvania just passed his driving test. Robert Keller, of Carnegie, PA had just passed his driving test. He pulled into the parking lot of the building that houses the DMV. He confused the brake and the accelerator and plowed into the building. He and his car ended up in a waiting room area in the DMV office. Four people were injured, none seriously. The 34 year old had his license revoked before it was issued.
President Obama upset the DEA, Drug Enforcement Administration, when he told an audience at a town hall meeting televised on MTV, that the Justice Department and the FBI determine which drug offenders to investigate and prosecute. That is the domain of the DEA not the FBI. President Obama made the comment during a speech he insisted his administration was serious about the war on drugs. An unidentified DEA spokesman said the administration was not treating the DEA seriously since the number 1 man at the DEA has not been confirmed yet, 22 months after Obama became President. Additionally, many of the DEA’s top positions remain vacant. Every ship at sea needs a captain.
For the second straight year, the United States deficit is over 1 trillion dollars. How’s that change thing working out for you?
The somewhat ignorant British billionaire who announced he would pay 1 million dollars to whoever streaked in front of President Obama is apparently a welcher. Last weekend, at the Philadelphia speech that was highlighted by the book being thrown at the President, Juan James Rodriguez was the guy arrested while naked. He was not the book thrower but he was trying to ‘earn’ the million dollars. The British billionaire refused to pay the million bucks because Obama did not see him, so it was not in front of the President. He will pay the rent for the unemployed 24 year old for six months, help cover medical expenses being incurred by his sister and give him an undisclosed amount of money. The man pays $1,600.00 per month in rent for his Staten Island apartment. The Brit, who made his fortune in the shipping industry, made Rodriguez sign a nondisclosure agreement to prevent all the details from emerging. I think the nondisclosure agreement also shields the Brit from potential criminal exposure.
Whatever happened to the book thrower? It was never disclosed, as far as I can tell, if anyone was arrested for throwing the book. You would think in a crowd that large someone saw something. If they did, either they are not talking or an embarrassed Secret Service is keeping it under wraps. The Secret Service has had a tough time doing their job for President Obama. He, and we, are lucky somebody has not tried to do real harm to our President.
Air New Zealand is going to sell ‘cuddle class’ seating beginning next year on trans-Atlantic flights. ‘Cuddle class’ is a row of three seats that convert to a couch or bed for the purchasers’ comfort. We all know, according to Viagra, that moment can hit you anytime. This will be a blessing to “You Tube’ watchers.

I thought that they got the book thrower. It was some sort of manuscript that he had written and threw it at the president not with intentions to hurt but simply to get a copy to him. He was quoted as saying he just wanted Obama to read it....
