| Thursday, August 28, 2008  BooneWeb Weekend - Needed storms could be brewing, ignorance plentiful over guns and ASU has three more games on TV by BooneWeb Blogger (posted: 6/28/08) Glancing at some weekend headlines as they all look like Snickers to us.
Hazardous Weather Outlook. Chance of big storms this weekend. (We need the rain)
Hiking the Roan Highlands.... Pretty.
Florida man killed in N.C. 105 accident. Fatality closes 105 for almost two hours Friday.
Lawmakers debate kids in pickup beds. 'The measure would prohibit children under 16 from riding in the bed. Current law allows children 12 and older to ride in the back – and even younger children are allowed if an adult is present and they live in one of 32 rural counties. The bill would eliminate those exemptions.' (Our tax dollars at work)
Just ask me. Question: Did the murder rate really triple under the Washington, DC, gun ban? Answer: Yes. The murder rate was 26.8 homicides per 100,000 people in 1976, when the ban became law. That would be its lowest rate for the next 30 years. It peaked at 80.6 homicides per 100,000 people in 1991.' (Yet, as he notes, so many are ignorant of this basic fact)
Is Obama turning out to be just another politician? 'He abandoned public campaign financing after years of championing it. Backed a compromise on wiretap legislation that gives telecom companies retroactive immunity for helping the government conduct spying without warrants. Dumped his controversial pastor of two decades — then his church — after saying he could no more abandon the pastor than abandon his own grandmother.' (Change, change, change .... change for fools ...)
Zimbabwe state media: Runoff a 'slap in the face.' Old and busted - International protests against that warmonging evil President Bush. New hotness - Silence regarding a true evil man.
The new center of the SoCon mini-verse. This make no sense at all.
App State becoming TV Must See. 'So with less than three months before kickoff (64 days and counting!), five of our 12 games this upcoming season will be on the moving picture machine.'
North Carolina Little League District 7. Your one stop click for all that is local little league baseball.
