Putin: Attack Iran and You Attack Russia

October 26th, 2007 by Quan Tranh

At times you have to question the wisdom of President Bush in choosing his friends. The Russians are really showing that they are no longer our friends.

An American attack on Iran will be viewed by Moscow as an attack on Russia.

True friends always have your back no matter what you do. President Vladimir Putin has shown us that he does not have our backs. We should question why President Bush wants to be friends with Russia and alienate China. The Clinton administration was very friendly towards China and to this day we trade a great deal with China. I believe we benefit more through our economic relations with China rather than Russia. Why waste the time with Russia if their friendship is more trouble than it’s worth.

City refuses Love Shack owner’s gift toward firetruck

October 24th, 2007 by Quan Tranh

John Cornetta has generously offered the city of Johns Creek $3000 toward the purchase of a new firetruck. Unfortunately the mayor, Mike Bodker, has some strange political agenda up his sleeve and has refused the donation. For some reason Bodker feels the need to pilfer the pockets of the tax payers, rather than take free money when it is offered. Cornetta, a successful business owner, should be commended for his efforts to subsidize a firetruck for the city of Johns Creek since the mayor has not purchased one since the city was formed on December 1, 2006. Presently fire and police services are contracted to Fulton County. Some believe the mayor has snubbed Cornetta because of his business of operating adult video stores. Regardless of the political or moral implications, Mr. Cornetta has offered the tax payers of Johns Creek some savings on building their city. Any accountant will tell you that 1% savings is better than 0% and anything more than 1% is gravy. You don’t have to be an Asian rocket scientist to understand the numbers. I would hope that an old white guy like Bodker could understand 5th grade math, but apparently not. The mayor and the voters of Johns Creek need to realize that the only thing in play here are the numbers. Turning down free for a more expensive option never makes good economic sense.

Lars Vilks Ruler of the Universe

October 18th, 2007 by Quan Tranh

Via Digg:  Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks has offended the Muslim world by drawing the prophet Mohammad as a dog.  In the interest of informing and offending the public we have reposted his art work here.  Lars now has a $100,000 fatwa against him.  Let’s celebrate freedom of speech and turning the channel if you happen to be offended.
