Happy Halloween!! Now some scary STORIES !
How pat would it be to make tonight's entry into some neo-creepy recap of world events and shocking stories… then I thought, I’m glib, why not?
Here are some of the week’s stories that fell through the cracks…somehow??!
It starts with the buried story on the Star Tribune’s Metro BACKPAGE?! In Saturday’s paper, Hennepin County Board approves raise for itself. Gee. I wish I could give myself a raise. Better yet, a 4% raise! I guess it’s hard to make ends meet on $84,000 dollars; let’s round it up to an even $90,000.
But the real page turner, if there was a page in the first place, would have been the new Ad Campaign, put out by the Minnesotans for Better Roads, AS PART OF A $4 million dollar ad campaign …to spend… $300 million dollars of our *cough* umm, taxes:
[audio] Vote Yes commercial
The campaign targets Roads & Transit but no where does it specify exactly How Much, To Where, and by Whom. Think Water Taxis are impossible? Just ask MnDot how hard everybody was laughing at a Silent Train running through Minneapolis 10 years ago. They won’t spend money on that! But how bout Road Pansies, Overpass Cafes, J-Pods, Bomb Detecting Road Sniffers, it’s really only left to the imagination of the Legislature really. And boy, do THEY have an imagination.
But the scariness doesn’t end there, British Prime Minister Tony Blair yesterday hired Al Gore; Pennsylvanian Republican just called his President soft on terror, Dick Cheney says water boarding isn’t torture, and Donald Rumsfeld’s Top Iraqi Adviser, Stephen Herbits, just became one of Hillary Clinton’s Most Popular Campaign Contributor!
But the creepiest item from today’s Trick or Treat bag has to be from Joe Lieberman, who lost in the Primaries as a Democrat, now running as an independent… same thing.
When you can out-Nixon Richard Nixon himself, that’s scary.
Now all Joe needs is Henry Kissinger to make a back door Peace Treaty and the war will last another 4 years, with Lieberman as President.
