Cheney during his last visit to Iraq was guarded by US troops with guns at “ready arms” while backed up by Iraqi forces pretending to be at ready arms since they had no guns. Can you guess the hidden message?

Habeas Corpus is no joke. A man, named Mann, was held for 15 months in a Dallas jail. Accused of contempt-of -court, had he had a speedy trial, the irony is that his sentence would have been only two months.

A jay walker was given a $5 ticket even though he was hit by a Toyota; his injuries were so severe that he died in the hospital. That’s a ticket that won’t be honored.

A kidnaper was foiled by twin ten year-old girls who were trained in the martial arts. The perpetrator was the girls’ martial arts instructor. He shall at least be sent to prison with a combination of humility and pride.

An enterprising bus operator charges $35 for those sadistic enough to tour what he bills as “America’s Worst Catastrophe.” So much for entrepreneurism.

The blacks worked so hard to have Martin Luther Day a national holiday, only for it to become just another sales holiday.
