No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Man Writes Check on 2-Ply Toilet Paper

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (AP) – An upstate New York man embroiled in a dispute over his water bill is not being allowed to pay off his debt with a check written on toilet paper. Ron Borgna tried to settle his $2,509.66 bill with a check written on floral print, two-ply toilet paper Wednesday.The disagreement began in September 2006 when Borgna received a $422.90 water bill. Borgna claims he was overbilled. With additional charges, penalties and late fees that bill has grown.Binghamton city officials refused to accept the check. After a short argument, Borgna was escorted out of the building.

Borgna says he is appealing the judgment against him in small claims court.

This is a MUST read!

 I can add no more to this other than to say, Amen!

"You have all heard the racist and anti-American outbursts of my pastor Rev. Wright. They are all inexcusable. His speeches have forced me to reexamine my long association with Trinity United Church of Christ. And so it is with regret that I must now leave that church.

It’s definitely the same old, same old.

Since I remembered it’s Thursday, I’m depending on you to catch what I missed. Some of what I didn’t miss:

Allahpundit goes straight to the crapapult.
Fausta thanks Venezuelan President Dictator Hugo Chavez for opening his pie hole.
– I know, Bud Selig decided to start the baseball season overseas before spring training was done, but Plebian previews the season in movies. I strongly object to his shock that we play baseball here in the land of ice cream and ice-brewed beer, but it’s a fine list anyway.
Phelony Jones became the latest victim in the liberal scam of making the cost of energy unaffordable.
Ace delivers a two-fer; very-raw (no, not the usual AoSHQ nor the usual press meaning) video of Hillary’s Bosnia junket and a Slu-shop. Neither is really recommended for those with weak stomachs.

Things that make me go, Huh?

SurveyUSA  released a poll last week that surveyed nationally, the public’s sense of the current economic situation.

Amongst the survey findings:

Only 9% believe the current economy is strong.

70% believe there could be a run on the banks (the survey was taken 2 days after the Bear Stearns arrangement)

While 46% have worries about losing their home and 81% have some worry about the ability to pay their bills,  56% believe the Federal government should not get involved in bailing out home mortgages.

They took a favorable/unfavorable poll on Alan Greenspan and Ben Brenanke.   Greenspan had a favorable/unfavorable of 26%/15%, Brenanke 7%/14% (I wish they would have asked if people even knew who they are/were.)

But here’s the one that made me go Huh?
