I just stopped at a Paramount-Warner-Exxon- Mobil station for a fill up and a Paramount-Warner Coca Cola but was shit out of luck because I did not have a Paramount-Warner Chase Visa debit card. I had just enough gas in my Paramount-Warner Ford Escort to make it home to my Paramount-Warner Condo.
The Huntsville City Council votes on the city budget on Thursday, Sept 24, 5:30 PM, City Hall, 305 Fountain Circle. The ALPR money is inside it with no line item of its own. Councilman Meredith will ask for it to be broken out. He needs one other member to second him, or it dies without a vote.

The Kennedy Center was built by Congress in 1971. A memorial to JFK. Tax dollars paid for it. Trump's hand-picked board voted 20-3 to rename it after HIM. A federal judge ordered his name REMOVED. Now he wants to DEMOLISH it. ...using YOUR money.
I have a trade deficit with woman who used to own my house. I paid her thousands of dollars for her home and she paid me nothing. Now, all I have is a house worth thousand of dollars. I could have saved those thousands of dollars if I lived on a bench in the park. It's just simple Economics.
I feel like we are so used to living in a time of madness that we can't grasp just how insane the Kennedy Center dispute is. Trump took something that was running just fine and destroyed it because he couldn't put his name next to the murdered president whose memorial it is. That's completely nuts.
