California Mom Sues McDonald’s To Stop Forcing Her To Buy Happy Meals

Thursday, December 16th, 2010

A Goofy California Mother of two and the Center for Science in the Public Interest have filed suit against McDonald’s Corp to get the fast food giant to stop using toys to market meals to young children.

The Plaintiff’s claim that McDonald’s is violating Consumer Protection Laws by marketing Happy Meals directly to Children because it exploits Children’s vulnerabilities.

Monet Parham filed suit in San Francisco yesterday and have asked that the Court certify the case as a Class Action, “For the sake of other parents and their children, I want McDonald’s to stop interfering with my family,” said Parham.

Whatever happened in just saying, “No, Maybe some other time” when a child wants to go to McDonald’s, it works well, I do it myself from time-to-time.

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

Democrat-Socialists plan to work (they use that word a little too carelessly) through the weekend to ratify the new “Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty” (START Treaty) together with a Trillion Dollar Spending Bill to keep non-essential government employees on the job.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV hopes that his colleagues will consider a $1.108 Trillion Dollar Omnibus Spending bill loaded with about 6,000 earmarks simultaneously with the START Treaty with the former Soviet regime.

TSA to Retired Army Commanding Officer: There’s Something Suspicious Hanging From Between Your Legs

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

Travelers at Raleigh-Durham Intl Airport report being traumatized by TSA groping. Survivors of sexual assaults feel especially vulnerable–Rape Crisis Counselors say that the “pat-downs” by TSA Agents trigger post traumatic stress reactions, making rape survivors feel that they’ve been sexually abused again.

Tim Ely, a Retired Army Officer who once Commanded Military Police at Guantanamo, Cuba filed an online complaint following a 20 November, confrontation at Raleigh-Durham.

After a TSA Agent groped around his genitals from in front and behind, Ely challenged the TSA wannabe cop to explain what sort of an anomaly turned up on his XXX Naked Body Scan to trigger such an intimate body pat-down.

The TSA Agent told Ely, that the XXX Naked Body Scanner revealedĀ  something suspicious hanging from between his legs.

When is all this insanity going to end? Will the incoming 112th Congress have the fortitude to cut-off funding to the TSA and stop this senseless intrusive screening process?

Hollywood Forgot How to Make Timeless Classics

Saturday, December 11th, 2010

White Christmas

Hollywood has forgot how to make really good films that Americans fall in love with.

Coincidental? America’s moral decline seem to have fallen on hard times about the same time the film industry stopped producing timeless films?

Who can forget a favorite Hollywood Christmas Classic Its a Wonderful Life starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. I still remember the first time I seenĀ  this wonderful film one evening in Los Angeles and being reminded that each person is a special gift from God and everything we do big or small affects society good or bad.

Regardless of how one may feel about themselves—no one is a failure who has friends.
