Ric Flair Faces Charges

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Professional wrestler “Nature Boy” Ric Flair faces assault charges after an alleged road rage incident, Charlotte, N.C., television station WSOC-TV reported.

Another driver said Flair attacked him and his car on Interstate 485 the day before Thanksgiving.

The driver said he was trying to get out of town for the holiday and traffic was slow.

The driver said he noticed someone behind him flashing their headlights, so he hit his brakes.

The driver said the car then pulled alongside him, police said. The victim said he immediately recognized the driver as Flair, a World Wrestling Entertainment star.

The driver told police that Flair got out of his car, walked over to the vehicle, grabbed him by the neck and damaged his car.

Police said there are two warrants out for Flair — one for simple assault and another for damage to personal property.

Flair’s attorney, Richard Finnell, said Flair is unaware of the warrants. He said the former world champion is in Michigan for a pay-per-view wrestling event.

Finnell said Flair would be back in Charlotte on Tuesday.

Back off censors – we’re close to the edge

The Inq puts out yet another good read.

Yet Paris Hilton manages to have one ass ugly retarded pose, like she has been training to pull the pose her entire life.

Guess what Paris, no matter what you wear, no matter how you style your hair, you still look like a dog. Not a pretty dog either, but an ugly, ugly beast.

The dog has boobs that are the same size as Paris Hiltons tiny tits.

I hope that I happen to be watching the news the instant she is pronounced dead from being tossed into boiling acid and then burned to a crisp and dropped in a giant chipper/shredder and then finally flushed down the toilet. I will do a happy dance and maybe even have a soda, or a better yet, some straight hard liquor.

Maybe I can get dryline DSL and switch over to VOIP from ATT rather than Vonage, if they can give me a good enough reason to switch over.

Taxes are needed, in one form or another. Roads must be built and maintained, schools must be operated, teachers paid. Laws must be enforced, and criminals must be dealt with.

But GW Bush has the wrong idea on tax cuts. Yes, cutting taxes for the wealthy will increase spending, but only for a short period of time before they stop investing or spending that money. Look at the 1920’s for more information on that. More people make less than $250,000 than more than $250,000 dollars in America. (look it up, we are not as rich as we think we are.) So cutting taxes on people who already have more money to spend that what they know what to do with is not the best idea in the world. But cutting taxes on the rich and then using a stealth increase on the “middle class” is a bad idea. Mal-distribution of wealth is a serious problem in America.

I am not saying take the earned money of the wealthy and give it straight to the poor, but people like Paris Hilton who did not earn the money need to be taxed on the money inherited, since they did not earn the money, they need to pay up in the form of inheritance taxes, and I highly doubt the amount taken will drive them into the poorhouse, since its a one time hit and then if they re-invest and make more they don’t have to pay the steep inheritance tax again.

If someone can make a billion dollars, hey that is great. Good for them, they are living the “American Dream” and it just shows that anyone who works hard and has good ideas and planning can make it big. But that should not eliminate them from having to pay for the roads they drive on, the police they use to protect them or the courts they use to prosecute people who try to cheat them.

I think it is stupid for people to want to reduce the amount of taxes they pay and then expect government services to become better at the same time. A person should not have to pay every cent earned to the government at any level, but if they want good roads, effective police and fire protection, courts that handle cases in a timely manner and water that is safe to drink, they should be willing to pay their fair share.

Proably the best place to cut taxes is on the people who can’t afford to pay high taxes. Don’t give them a free ride, but reduce the tax burden so they can have some more money to spend in the economy, which in turn creates higher demand for goods and services, grows the economy, puts people to work (shocking, I know) and then the tax cut then pays back in more taxes. Of course, republicunts don’t like the idea since it involves helping people who don’t have ten digit incomes, but if the idea works elsewhere in the world, why can’t it work here in America?

So tonight I went to see The Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker.

Good times, good show. Great performance. If they stop to perform in your city, go and see it. You will not regret doing so.

More Charges Filed In Stolen Property Ring

I read the police blotter section in the paper as much as possible. For as long as I have been living in KC, the oddest stuff was being stolen out of rental homes and apartments. Not TV’s and furniture, but cooking ranges and water heaters and even light fixtures and bulbs. Then a few weeks ago they bust a couple of guys trying to steal a furnace from an apartment building.
Boom, what do you know. They are connected to the ring of thieves stealing all this stuff. Police find a few houses FULL of the stolen goods. Windows, doors, stoves, freezers, you name it, they had it. Enough stuff to build a few houses with. All stolen from various rental properties in the KC area over the past few years.

And the guy who owned the houses where all this stuff was hidden? Claimed he had no idea it was there. Convienent, had houses full of stolen goods, and no idea any of the stuff was there.. Hopefully the people who got taken in the load of crap will get some form of compensation for it, or they can at least get the stuff back so they can sell it. Of course, not sure the market for theft recovery water heaters is that big.
