Ma & Pa
Following an especially angry argument, Ma and Pa went to bed not speaking to each other.
Needing to arise early the following morning, Pa left a note on his wife's bedside table:
"Woman," it began, "Wake me at six."
Pa awoke at ten the following morning. Much aggravated, he rolled stiffly out of bed to see a note on his bedside table:
"It's six, Man, Get out of bed!"
So dad, you been out swiping garden gnomes?
Mad Garden Gnome Thief Builds Wonderland
November 08, 2005 - The zany garden gnome thief of Leavenworth, Kan., has built a truly spectacular display of madness.
Police uncovered a cleared-out section of the city's Haven's Park bizarrely adorned with 50 garden gnomes, three chimineas, two hammocks, three lawn chairs, yard lights and other items, according to The Leavenworth Times.
Cops believe all of the items were taken during a recent string of thefts in the area. Shrubs taken from a nearby nursery school were also found planted at the site of what police are calling the mad garden gnome thief's "safe haven."
"It's the strangest thing I've seen," Detective Sgt. Robert Mendoza told The Times. "Nobody's seen anybody up in the area."
Because of the eccentric intricacy of the work, Mendoza said he doesn't think juveniles are to blame.
An officer first stumbled upon the site on Oct. 26, spotting hammocks through the trees while he was stretching his legs.
Cop found intricate trails lined with stones carefully mined from a hole nearby — one leading to an area with benches and another to the area with hammocks, chimineas and gnomes everywhere, Mendoza said.
"It's set up like somebody's back yard," he told The Times. "The work that went into this stuff is amazing."
Mendoza said tools for barbecuing were also found.

Lots and lots of oil for the U.S.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 -- Nearly all varieties of petroleum increased in the United States last week, the Energy Department reported Wednesday.
The only exception to the supply growth was heating oil, which fell as buyers laid in stocks for the winter… they remained in the upper half of their historic range for this time of year, the department said.
… At 323.6 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories remain well above the upper end of the average range for this time of year.
Gasoline inventories increased by 4.2 million barrels last week, putting them in the upper half of the average range…

NYU Graduate Assistants Strike
NEW YORK - About 1,000 graduate assistants started striking against New York University on Wednesday over its refusal to bargain with or recognize their union.
...At a picket line in front of an NYU library in the city's Greenwich Village neighborhood, striking assistants and supporters chanted: "What do we want? Contracts. When do we want it? Now!"
The Graduate Students Organizing Committee said its members would stay on strike until the university decides to bargain with them "in good faith." The assistants will not teach, grade, advise students or do research while on strike, they said.
...NYU says graduate assistants are not employees, but are students who have "assistantship" semesters as part of their financial aid packages of some $50,000 that includes free tuition.
...The graduate assistants had been represented by Local 2110 of the United Automobile Workers from 2000 until August of this year. NYU said then it would no longer recognize the union based on a policy reversal by the National Labor Relations Board on private universities allowing graduate student workers to unionize.
...Holding up a sign that read "Nerds: working to make NYU even smarter," Kristin Ross, professor of comparative literature, said she would hold classes off campus in solidarity with the graduate students...
"I believe in their self-determination," she said. "My undergraduates are very, very interested in this whole process. It's integrated into their thinking."

I just gotta wonder, which is the higher death rate in San Francisco… from AIDS or from handguns…
San Francisco voters are smart and believe in sensible gun control,"
San Francisco voters took a stand Tuesday against military recruitment on public school campuses, and approved the nation's toughest ban on handguns by making it illegal for city residents to possess them.
Proposition H, which requires city residents who already own guns to turn them in to police by April 1, was winning 58 percent to 42 percent with 98 percent of precincts counted.
The measure also makes it illegal to buy, sell, distribute and manufacture firearms and ammunition in the city.
Only two other cities in the country -- Washington, D.C., and Chicago -- have similar bans.
San Francisco voters are smart and believe in sensible gun control," said Supervisor Chris Daly, who was among the four board members who placed the measure on the ballot. "If Prop. H gets some handguns out of San Francisco and mitigates some of the violence, then it's a win." http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/11/09/SFMEASURES.TMP

This is a riot... (OK I admit it, pun intended)
...We've heard over and over again that all of this rioting, looting and burning is being caused by economic conditions. Oh really? A little research seems to show that people on the dole in France have it pretty good. That might be why unemployment is so high...there's no reason to work! Why would you, when the state will take care of your every need... ~Neal Boortz
Blame French Entitlement System for Rioting, Analyst Says
Don't blame the French rioting on immigration -- blame it on the French system of entitlements, writes one think-tank analyst. Diana Furchtgott-Roth, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, says France's generous entitlements, including free education, health care, and housing and food allowances, "attracts people who do not necessarily want to work." In France, as in many other European countries, the unemployment rate among foreign-born residents is higher than it is among the native-born, Furchtgott-Roth says. "In contrast, since immigrants to the United States receive few entitlements, they come to work. They work at jobs paying $5.15 an hour, frequently with no fringe benefits, and consider themselves better off than if they would have stayed home. For this reason, the U.S. unemployment rate for foreign-born is actually lower than that for the native-born," Furchtgott-Roth said. Other entitlement-rich European countries also are at risk of riots, she warns. http://www.cnsnews.com/ThisHour.asp#Blame%20French%20Entitlement%20System%20for%20Rioting,%20Analyst%20Says
