Bucky Phillips

Bucky has a My Space Account!
HaHa!

Look, I’m not really on Bucky’s side in this matter, but after seeing what a farce the state troopers have made out of this whole issue, I’m all for the Bucky jokes. Bucky is no hero, but in this case, it seems the state police are the true villians.

For those not from the Western New York Area, you can see the story here.

UPDATE: I know a lot of people are coming to this page from Google–this page is old, its from July go here for the latest–or check out some of my other posts about Bucky:

Cost of Government Day Tomorrow

Filed under: General — Bethie @ 12:28 pm

Remember all the way back to New Year’s Day? Well, every single day since then, you and I have been working to pay our federal, state and regulatory burdens, according to Americans for Tax Reform (ATR). Finally, tomorrow, we’ll actually be making money for ourselves. According to ATR, “this year’s COGD falls on July 12, an increase of one and a half days compared to 2005. Since 2000, the total cost of government has increased 6.5 percent.”

This is really sad. What will happen if the cost of government continues to increase like this? I’m sure there will be more to come tomorrow.
