Statue of Liberty Island needs a $45,000 a year for a dog that to chase away geese (LINK) Sure sounds like it's on the up and up with me!

"The U.S. Army has long lured recruits with the slogan “Be All You Can Be,” but now soldiers and their families can receive plastic surgery, including breast enlargements, on the taxpayers’ dime."

Got to love the governemnt. Needs $25 billion for the Iraq war...ummm...ooops, maybe a little more. Like an extra $12.3 billion(LINK)

Right. Get a call from a woman you don't know out of the blue. (hint #1) Says she found you phone number on the Internet. (hint #2) Says she really wants to chat with you. (hint#3) Asks you to call her back. (hint #4) And you're surprised at a $7,000 phone bill cause you were stupid enough to talk all night on the phone with her?

Probably not enough left for water and hoses when the houses start burning.
