The good news & The bad news



Bishop: I have some good news and some bad news Your Holiness.

The good news is that you have a phone call, it's from Jesus.


Pope: Thank you, that is indeed good news. Uh, what could be the bad news?

Bishop: The call is from Salt Lake City.





Well, if I don't get struck by lightning, lets move on to more important matters like the main stream media and a refreshing example of good news called .
The Real News..G:

  3. I haven't raced any trucks since spring, and I sure won't cross the border, anymore! I don't take kindly to the strip search mentality that post 9/11 Amerika has in place. The last time I crossed the border, (pre-9/11) it was an interesting time, as I told one gung-ho Brown-shirt he could shove his country up his ass and deliver the load, himself, for all I cared! I was still within walking distance from CANUSA, and let him know I didn't love my job THAT much.

    Coming home was always more fun, though, as I have even LESS use for Canada Customs! LOL!
