I have friends that are cops, it is a sucky job for the money you get paid, but only when you factor in the danger part of it. In my community there has been one shooting in 10 yrs and that was when an overly anxious young cop shot a mentally handicapped guy. Around here these cops, start at about 40-50k per yr, which is decent money for this area, and then they get to take their squads home. I have seen cars from my town 45 miles away in Chicago, I've seen them as far as 200 miles south in Terrehaute , In., and the guy driving wasn't wearin a uniform, the woman in the passenger seat wasn't either, and the kids and the dog in the back seat weren't either.
They get paid to do their job, enough of this crap of letting cops take their cars home and run family errands and the sort on my friggin dime! Gas is still $3.79/ gal, plus wear and tear on the vehicle, tires are more expensive, oil changes are more expensive, it all adds up. ENOUGH!

gas prices
Hey folks, is it just me or has anyone noticed the gas prices? I live about 45 miles outside of Chicago. I watched as the gas prices started creeping up about a month before Memorial day. I watch the news nearly every morning, but I never heard any comment about dwindling gas supplies, reduced refinning capacities, nothing, until it hit $3.69 per gallon here. Then all of a sudden there are stories, and I mean "stories" on the news about how all of a sudden, out of nowhere, we find gas refinning capabilities are down, reserves are down, etc. (the normal annual SCAM!)
Then amazingly enough, 2 days after the holiday, gas here went down 20 cents/ gal.
Now keep in mind, there has been nothing on the news around here or Chicago about a new refinery, or increased reserves, none of that, but the gas in N.W. Indina went down 70-80 cents per gallon in only 2 1/2 to 3 weeks since Memorial Day, but wait.....the 4th of July is coming, and there goes the gas hikes again! The crap they are feeding us on the news is just that, CRAP! There is no shortage, it is PURELY the oil companies, jacking with the prices, and the reason the poloticians won't do anything I think, is because number 1 they don't have to buy gas, 2 they have money invested in the oil companies. Why should they care if we are all getting raped at the pump? And while I'm talking about gas, why on god's green earth should local, county and state cops be allowed to take home their squad cars and drive their families around in the squad cars, on my tax dollars!!!!!!!

Rosie O'donnel
Can anyone take Rosie seriously anymore? She is a washed up has been. She never was funny, she has always had the personality of a wet mop, and she has used the forum of the day time tv show, The View, to chastise people over her political and sexual beliefs. When will enough be enough? Rosie doesn't want equal rights for gays, she wants "special rights for gays"
She wants to be able to insult and defame anyone she wants to, and when they complain, she will throw out the "gay" card....they're discriminating against me because I'm gay...boo, hoo, hoo. PLEASE!
Rosie is a vulture that needs to climb back in the closet and come out when she learns to respect people that aren't gay!
Oh and by the way, she is also an advocate of gun control and gun bans, and so forth, but she happens to own a gun.....how about the kid that cried wolf! She is so two faced, I couldn't be happier if Mr. Trump sued her and we never had to see or hear from her again.
