I guess 6 billion is not enough for them to spend this year. I believe Rand Paul was the only one with enough guts to speak the truth.     Time to wake up or better yet bury the old fools and get competitive with other countries tax rates!

Taron.  At that time my father happened to notice a street light with it's cover off on Riparian along with wires exposed.  Putting the events together it was easy to figure out what happened.  I called EGPD and filed a report as well as contacted Stonelake security.  Please be vigilant and report suspicious behavior by calling EGPD at 714-5115 (non-emergency) and 714-5111 (emergency).  According to the Public Works Manager I spoke with, our neighborhood has been hit a few times in the last few days.  Let's see if we can catch these guys in the act and report them to the police department.            less

The town council was livid and insisted they change it. The docs changed it to read: Schizoids and Hemorrhoids.  This was also not acceptable so they again changed the sign to read Catatonics and High Colonics – no go.  Next they tried Manic Depressives and Anal Retentives – thumbs down again. Then came Minds and Behinds - still no good. Another attempt resulted in Lost Souls and Butt Holes - unacceptable again!  So they tried Nuts and Butts – no way.  Freaks and Cheeks - still no good. Loons and Moons – forget it.  Almost at their wit's end, the docs finally came up with: Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones – Specializing i...    less
