Boulder-Springs CO (ANS): Colorado Congressman T. Emory "Em" Gideon (RW) today called for the United States government to sever relations with the United Kingdom over the current audit and repayment demands for MP overstated expenses.
"The Brits have gone too damned far," Gideon stated to radio call in host Berni Piat at KZUD 88.2 FM early this morning. "How the hell can politicians be expected to do effective work if they think they're going to have to pay back every little piss-ant expense? Who the hell are you going to get to run this country if elected officials are expected to follow the same damned rules as the freakin' plebes? I say we send a message now. We cut off British imports (except for Laphoraig, of course, we can't be too over the top with this) and shut down all the crap on the airwaves from BBC. We've got our own crappy television people should be watching."
The recording seems to indicated that Gideon slammed down his phone on disconnect and has since been unavailable for comment. Follow the Journal for more updates. |

 Boulder-Springs (ANS) - The Airline Telephone Flight Status Looker-Uppers (ATFSLU) has threatened to walk out on CORE Airways if CORE moves forward with an on-line application for the lookup of flight status. Approximately 950 ATFSLU members are affected by this proposed automation.

Washington (ANS) In breaking news, Colorado Senator Douglas "Dooley" Neall (PNCP) came under fire for his proposed legislation to prosecute fiscal impropriety as treason. A national organization of lobbyists has quickly decried the bill, which would include lobbying in the same prosecutorial basket as bribery and kickbacks. A lobbyist for the New York financial industry, who asked to remain anonymous, virtually screamed into the phone during an interview. "That hayseed from the middle of flyover country hasn't got a clue about how things are done in the world. Does he understand that one of the possible penalties for treason is death? What? You're going to slip somebody the needle because a few billion dollars gets misplaced? I've never heard anything more rediculous in my life." The Journal will continue to watch this story as it develops. We have two reporters who will be on the ground in D.C. within the next two hours. In the meantime, we'll keep you posted with updates from ANS. |

Boulder-Springs (ANS) - CORE Aireways (USSE: CRAW) is currently negotiating with the ATOTP (Airline Telephone Order-takers and Ticket Processors) for a revision in the current contract that will allow CORE to build on-line processes for reservations and ticket purchases. The existing contract has been in place since 1968, when CORE was the small local carrier Colorado Regional, for a term of 99 years. When Colorado Regional became CORE Airways in the early 1980s, the board of directors and new major stockholders were unable to get the union contract nullified.

Boulder-Springs, "It's about damned time," a surly consumer stated as he walked out the front door of a local Banco de Puerco branch this morning. Earlier today, the Journal learned that legislation has been proposed to freeze credit card interest at 18%. Bankers around the country are in arms, stating that it's impossible for them to make any money at only 18 percent on the total $2.6 trillion (Federal Reserve information April 7, 2009) in total American credit card debt. Banks have stated that they can barely get by on the $624 billion they are currently collecting in annual interest charges. "We need to be able to raise rates when fuel costs and other items increase," said a Banco de Puerco spokeswoman who declined to be identified. "How do fuel costs effect banking?" The question came from local television reporter Marly Reese. "In a number of ways," the bank spokeswoman responded. "Fuel costs for corporate jets, limousines, the yachts we use to entertain congressional staffers." We'll have more on this story as it develops. |
