Fuzzy Math

56 arrests in 72 hours, 3 days.

900 arrests in 720 hours, 30 days.

In June we were 15% "safer", according to "Crime Statistics" (Although rape was up 61%, at the time, and domestic violence had also risen.)

October 2008, no 2nd or 3rd quarter "Crime Statistics" released.

Walker Bush couldn't add this math up.

FFA: Act 3, Scene III

FFA = Flip-Flop Administration (more readily known as the Sarno Administration)

Mayor Sarno and Police Commissioner Fitchet are the heads of the FFA but a new, not necessarily fresh, class is rising, manifested by James Ferrera III. Last week, Ferrera suggested a "spending freeze".

http://urbancompass.net/?p=1501 (Masslive.com refuses to report on the issue; moderating the 'Forum" section is more important probably). You can read it and "formulate" your own thought.

In my opinion: Ferrera's probably not qualified to be City Clerk, let alone City Council Vice President. Instead of not spending money, how about coming up with an IDEA to MAKE money. Seems simple, right? Not quite. A company who actually wants to build something here, is being met with opposition in regards to traffic, access and parking. ( http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2008/10/report_on_proposed_shopping_ce.html?category=Springfield ). Issues that were solved when they invented roads, cars and paking lots.

It gets better Springfield. "Man dies after seizure while in Springfield police custody" ( http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2008/10/man_dies_after_seizure_while_i.html?category=Springfield ). Who has been reporting on this "new" phenomenon? I can't wait to see if this man has a history of seizures or if it was convenient for police to say this was a seizure to cover their tracks now.

Tammany Hall 2008




I can only relate the "fair" greed and thievery of Wall St. to a political machine of the late 19th and 20th century, Tammany Hall. I don't know NYC very well but these two places can't physically be too far from each other because mentally they are on the same page: accumulate wealth and power by any means necessary.





The last picture indicates the exact phenomenon that is happening today. Capitalists and politicians, alike, are pointing the finger at one another for problems they created, neglected, or were ignorant of. There are conservatives and liberals on Wall St. There are Democrats, Republicans and Independents on Wall St. What they all have in common though, is that while your money vanishes in the system they created, they still get paid.

Makes you wonder.

For at least a week now, the top news story in the area has been a window at Mercy Hospital. People are claiming that the "Virgin" Mary has appeared to them. Well, I hope Mary, Jesus and Joseph can help you if you "own" stocks or have a variable, adjustable, sub prime, we-can-do-whatever-we-want-because-we-are-the-bank mortgage loan.

At the end of last week, America took the wrong step toward socialism. The government bailed out private enterprises, so we have at least some socialist precedents in our government now.

So with those 2 events, on 10/06/08 the Dow Jones is down 10,000 pts. This is the second time former National Guard officer George W. Bush has seen the Dow dip to this point in his tenure as president. Oddly, about a week or so after the Dow dipped in October of 2004, he was elected president again. The Federal Reserve's only plan is to pay off interest of commercial banks and keep loaning banks more money. Loaning more money to failing institutions is always the plan because in the end tax-payers pay for it.

The Straw that broke the Misanthrope's Back

"According to The Book of Revelations:

The Anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language..."

How is this allowed, MASSLIVE.COM? This passage is not only FALSE, it's insulting to those who have ever read the Book of Revelation (which makes no mention of this passage) and those Muslims who practice Islam. Why can people post anything they want, especially racist, bigoted and sexist comments? The person who posted this is a joke and the MASSLIVE.COM staff who let it be posted are jokes.

FACTS:

1. Islam was created in the 7th century (600 A.D). The prophet Muhammad (PBUH) recieved the Qur'an from the archangel Gabriel. He is, supposedly, the restorer of the faith of Abraham, Moses and Jesus (PBUT).

2. The Bible, as you know it today, was compiled in or around the 2nd century (100 A.D). So how can a Muslim be in a book created 500 years before Islam was created? More specifically, the King James Version of the Bible, was created in 1611. This is the version of the Bible that America knows and it is nothing more than a translation of Latin, Greek and Hebrew text.

3. The Book of Revelation (K.J.V) mentions no specific "Anti-Christ"; actually the word or two words, "Anti-Christ" do not appear in the Bible at all. As mentioned above, there is no mention of a Muslim man either. But here is a direct quote from the Book of Revelation:

Revelation 13:1 (K.J.V)

"And I (the apostle John) stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having SEVEN HEADS and TEN HORNS, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of BLASPHEMY."

In the second verse of the 13th chapter it goes on to say this "beast" John "saw" was a mix of leopard, bear and lion. Also, the dragon (a.k.a the Devil or Satan) "gives" this "beast" his "power".

Read everything for yourself.
