Our Legislature INaction and Lockerbie

My impressions of today's news is really got me twisted.

Apparently our legislature is going to make it a legal requirement that businesses accept state IOU's the same as cash. What a bunch of BULLSHIT!!! Our elected officials cannot pull there heads out of their collective asses long enough to do a major part of their job, you know a budget done on time and completely. So since they cannot do their job they issue an IOU to cover money you are supposed to receive from the state. This is what is referred to as fiat money. From Wikipedia for Fiat Money:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_money

Fiat money is money declared by a government to be legal tender.[1] The term derives from the Latin fiat, meaning "let it be done". Fiat money achieves value because a government accepts it in payment of taxes and says it can be used within the country as a "tender" (offering) to pay all debts. In effect, this allows it to be used to buy goods and services and to pay tax. Where fiat money is used as currency, the term fiat currency is used. The most widely-held reserve currency, the US dollar, is a fiat currency, as are other widely held currencies like the Euro, Pound Sterling and the Yen.

I believe that that is against the law here in America. Many towns like Dixon (here in Ca about a 1/2 hour west of Sacramento for you not local) have tried to use local fiat money and have been smacked down by the state and federal authorities. But the state wants to do the same thing. wow sauce for the gander but sex for the goose right up the old pop chute. I love my state.

OK that is my bitch about the state today now I gotta bitch about Scotland.

They released Abdelbeset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi (I cut and pasted I couldn't spell that name on a bet) from Prison today. He was the one person convicted of blowing up the Pan Am flight over Lockerbie Scotland. It was a compassionate release. He was serving a life sentence with no chance at parole. Yet when he had terminal cancer of the prostate they decided to let him go home. My personal choice would have been to have the Dr. give him a medication error during his chemo. But I am not the kindest person out there. I can understand that this way the prison system does not need pay for his medical treatments. But he wins now, he gets out of prison before he died. He served only 8 years. And on the news his escort is one of Qhaddafi's sons (should have used a bigger bomb on that bastards tent years back). Of course watching him come down the stairs from the plane I was hoping a sniper would have put a 50 caliber round through and through, but the US does not do assassinations (really I believe that..yeah right)

I wonder how Ashley Judd feels about this. Since she partied too hard the night before and missed her flight so she was not on board flight 103. Wow now thats a visual, Ashley Judd drunk in a Paris hotel room. I would make an exception to my dislike of France in this case.

I am sure that he will pay for the crime in his afterlife. Depends on how his belief system is. Allah will give him 270 (the number of victims on flight 103) virgin males with unlimited Levitra that will make him their bitch would be fun. Or a warm welcome in Hell. Or back on the wheel again to pay for it next roll.
