CHUCKLES: Walter and President Obama

$\"English:$ (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

President Obama goes to a primary school to talk to the kids. After his talk he offers question time.

One little boy puts up his hand, and Obama asks him his name. \” Walter,\” responds the little boy.

\”And what is your question, Walter?\”

\”I have four questions\”

First, \”Why did the USA Bomb Libya without the support of the Congress?\”
Second, \”Why do you keep saying you fixed the economy when it\’s actually gotten worse?\”
Third, \”Why did you say that Jeremiah Wright was your mentor, then said that you knew nothing about his preaching and beliefs?\”
Fourth, \”Why are we lending money to Brazil to drill for oil, but America is not allowed to drill for oil?\”

Just then, the bell rings for recess.

Obama informs the kiddies that they will continue after recess.

When they resume Obama says, \”OK, where were we? Oh, that\’s right: question time..
Who has a question?\”

Another little boy puts up his hand. Obama points him out and asks him his
name.

\”Steve,\” he responds.

\”And what is your question, Steve?\”

Actually, I have two questions.

First, \”Why did the recess bell ring 20 minutes early?\”
Second, \”What the hell happened to Walter?\”

STONE HARBOR —Wind gusts topping 50 mph downed trees and utility poles, knocking out power to half the town for several hours before crews were able to restore electricity today.

The borough’s volunteer fire department reported recording a 58-mph wind gust this afternoon as crews responded to numerous toppled poles and fallen wires.

By late morning, so many poles had fallen on Stone Harbor Boulevard that the entire road had to be closed, said Cape May County spokeswoman Lenora Boninfante.

At the height of the outages, Atlantic City Electric reported 2,800 customers without power, Boninfante said. By early evening, power was restored to all residents, Mayor Suzanne Walters said.

There were no mandatory or voluntary evacuation orders in place but Walters said she suspects most residents without electricity would have decided to leave if the outage had been prolonged.

AMAC AUTORS: Hometown America

Posted 03/01/2013 | AMAC Authors, Travel

$\"hometown$ by D.J. Wilson

America’s hometowns are nostalgic places where personal memories, history, traditions and customs converge. Beyond their value as birthplaces, they are often associated with fond childhood memories of carefree times spent with family and friends. Watching parades in town, going to the library, attending a church picnic, riding bikes or playing catch in the field may be some of the warm-hearted memories we cherish. Growing up on Long Island, in the quaint hamlet town of Sayville, NY I enjoyed strolling along Main Street and glancing into the store windows. The bakery in town sold cakes, pastries, breads and cookies. We didn’t purchase bakery treats often, but I remember going there with my mother to wait in line for a cake.
