Wyo. city considers rabbit ordinance

Public nuisance #1: Bunnies.

'God' responds to legislator's lawsuit
From article: State Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha sued God last week, seeking a permanent injunction against the Almighty for making terroristic threats, inspiring fear and causing "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants."

'Bridge to nowhere' abandoned
Public transit largely seen as a waste in the U.S., however a bridge to an island of 50 people (a $300 million bridge) was seriously considered and at one point had funding.

The Issues
Abortion Immigration Iraq Social Security Taxes Same-sex marriage
Fox news lists "Election issues" in this order. Abortion is apparently more important than Immigration, Iraq, Social Security, and taxes. (I'd say the list is arbitrary, however note it is mostly alphabetical... but then Taxes comes between Social Security and Same-sex marriage). I have no idea why same-sex marriage is on the list. Oh wait perhaps I do..... Interestingly government spending, Foreign Policy (outside of the quagmire), Crime, Energy Policies, and Transit Infrastructure were not on the list... apparently they aren't divisive enough. I'm surprised that Social Security and Taxes make it at all.... I'd half expect Prayer in School and Flag burning to be more important to Fox.

Jesse Jackson: Obama needs to bring more attention to Jena 6: Jackson, largely considered to be one of the U.S.'s most powerful voices for civil rights had this to say: The Rev. Jesse Jackson criticized Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Tuesday over his reaction to the arrest of six black juveniles in Jena, Louisiana, on murder charges, accusing the Illinois senator of "acting like he's white," according to a South Carolina newspaper.

Apparently one can be excused for being racist, if you are supporting a cause condemning racism.... Hey wait a minute?

Report: Doctor Claims Pope Was Euthanized
OK on this one, I have to say WHO CARES! Of course the point being that even though by discontinuing use of a feeding tube John Paul was spared additional suffering... that this is debatably considered either euthanasia or suicide according to Catholic doctrine. Again... WHO CARES!

The point of all of this is how screwed up the priorities of people can be. I mean rabbit ordinances?

• I'm sure the town council of Powell, WYO. could more effectively use their time perhaps improving Powell's school system (one council member claimed his daughter's rabbits made him sick and is leading the cause..... I wonder if he was educated in Powell per chance?).
• Then we have pork spending.
• Religious/Personal beliefs taking precedent over issues that effect many.
• A civil rights leader that expectorates racism.
• People causing controversy over moot issues involving a dead pope. Really... what do they expect to gain?

The point being: This is why the world is so messed up, This is why history repeats itself, This is why people fight over frivolous things. Priorities.
