1) I hope you who are
interested in McCain for President remember that he
is the one who wants to give amnesty to all those
Ilegal Invaders. If he is running, I may vote for
Hillary. That is how strong I feel about his
ability - and truthfullness. He says there are 2
million illegals, but that is just the Criminals
that we have in our jails. You know they will be
right back over the fence and in the population
again to do more bad things. It is just a "get out
of jail" free card. You all know I dislike Hillary
the cry baby too. So looks like Mickey Mouse or
Donald Duck will be my vote. Sure wish Fred
Thompson could have pulled it off. But, that is
politics. Ev
Dear Ev: At this point, until
we know what will happen in the February 5th
super primaries, it is down to two men for the
Republican nomination, McCain and Romney. Of
the two, Romney is more anti-illegal alien and
anti-amnesty than McCain. Romney is unlikely to
prevail with the GOP as they see him as an
outsider and maverick like Ron Paul, except with
more money. Already the party is preparing us
to accept John McCain. Thompson, Huckabee,
Giuliani, McCain and others are saying that
Romney is deficient as a potential leader. So
unless McCain is caught playing spin the bottle
with a ten-year old girl scout, he's going to be
your winner. It's obvious that Obama and
Heil-lary are pro-illegal immigrant and support
full amnesty. The Democrat Party is for
complete amnesty, at least as it concerns
Hispanics, while the rank and file Republicans
are against giving lawbreakers the rights of
citizenship. Who's going to win? The
Dumnocrats will win in a landslide and with it
the last resistance to amnesty will be removed.
Get ready to welcome the third world to your
bedroom. They're here, they're staying and
we're ******. There's always the American
Independent Party that you can support. They're
dull and plodding, but they're honest.

2) snopes.com/horrors/drugs/candymeth.asp.
A very scary thing is going on in the
schools right. There is a type of crystal
meth going around that looks like strawberry
pop rocks. It smells like strawberry, also
and it is being handed out to kids in school
yards in Arkansas. I'm sure it will make
its way around the country. Kids are
ingesting this thinking it is candy and
being rushed off to the ER in dire
condition. It also comes in chocolate,
peanut butter, cola, cherry, grape and
orange. It looks just like pop rocks.
Please instruct children to not accept
candy that looks like this even from a
friend and to take any that they may have to
a teacher, principal, etc. They call it
strawberry meth or strawberry quick. GF
Dear GF: Parents and
grandparents are often buying treats, but do
we REALLY know what we are buying? Some of
these treats come from Mexico and China and
has been found to contain mercury, lead and
arsenic. It's very scary out there and we
have to be alert to what these narcotic
monsters are doing to our children.

3) Sample of why we
supported Fred's initiative to showcase
animals of all kinds on tv, thousands saved
over time, ocregister.com/life/

Sad. I'm sorry to hear about this. - Nilo
Dear Nilo: The editor never
met Fred, but anyone who helps poor, sick
and homeless animals must be a very nice
person.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) The world has lost a
special person as I have lost a special
friend. My volunteer job with Long Beach
Animal Control began with the Pet Place, it
was about 18 years ago that the Pet Place
was born in Long Beach. At the same time,
the volunteer program at the old Long Beach
Animal Shelter was starting up and the Pet
Place was my first assignment. In those
days we loaded up 12 animals for the show, 6
in the first segment and 6 in the last.
That went on for quite some time until other
shelters started sharing the time. As the
shows went on so did my volunteer
responsibilities to where I was the one who
chose the animals the day before. We would
then send one to Doggie In The Window for
grooming and comb and put bows or bandanas
on the rest. We all so appreciated the Pet
Place, it was an avenue for helping find
homes for the lost and abandoned pets and
what was really special, it was FREE to us.
I hardly ever missed a Pet Place taping
(probably only five) in all those years and
was even filling in for Fred at Charter
Communications since his surgery and also
when he lived in Las Vegas. Friends of Long
Beach Animals always supported the Pet
Place, we all knew how very special it was
for the animals to have a program like
this. As Wesley Moore of LBAC said "when
Fred started the Pet Place no one else was
featuring homeless pets, it was his idea
that started news shows and others to
feature a pet once a week or daily on their
program." Even though the Long Beach Pet
Place is no more, Fred's legacy will live on
through other programing and hopefully the
KDOC Pet Place will continue for years to
come. Shirley Dear
Shirley: Sorry for your grief.
Fred sounds like a wonderful man.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) Fred passed away at
11:15 p.m. Sunday at the Kindred Hospital in
Brea. Funeral arrangements are pending. I
know he appreciated all your prayers and
blessings. Fred always spoke of the rainbow
bridge and the animals who have crossed over
it being happy once again and free from
pain, and I would like to think that Fred is
looking down on us and letting us know he's
feeling whole and good again, and I believe
he also knows the legacy of his work to find
homes for adoptable animals will go on. He
will always be remembered. Plans still
forming at this hour include editing in a
brief tribute to Fred to air on The Pet
Place this Sunday. I will tape it Tues
midday at Mile Square Park with Marie
Hulett. Due to KDOC delivery deadlines, it
will be brief, but a future episode will
devote more time to the legacy of Fred's
work with The Pet Place and our hopes and
plans to see his life work continue. Gary

7) In Modesto, CA, a man was arrested for
trying to hold up a Bank of America branch without a weapon. He
used a thumb and a finger to simulate a gun. Unfortunately, he
failed to keep his hand in his pocket. BB

8) I'm questioning the Democratic
Party's patriotism. Your loyalty ends with self. I'm also
questioning why you're stealing air that decent Americans
could be breathing. You don't deserve the protection of our
men and women in uniform. You need to run away from this
war, this country. Leave the war to the people who have
the will to see it through and the country to people who are
willing to defend it., No, Mr. President, you don't get off
the hook, either. Our country has two enemies: Those who
want to destroy us from the outside and those who attempt it
from within. Your Soldiers are dealing with the outside
force. It's your obligation to support them by confronting
the AXIS OF IDIOTS. America must hear it from you that
these self-centered people are harming our country, abetting
the enemy and endangering our safety. Well up a little
anger, please, and channel it toward the appropriate
target. You must prosecute those who leak national security
secrets to the media. You must prosecute those in the media
who knowingly publish those secrets. Our Soldiers need you
to confront the enemy that they cannot. They need you to do
it now. JDP Dear JDP: The
Democrats are very loyal, to themselves and their
interests. Just because they would sell you down the river
to slavers doesn't mean that they are not loyal to their
vision of America. The Democrat's version of America seeks
to dethrone Columbus, Washington, Lincoln and the "dead
white men," and enthrone in their place as Gods over us,
Martin Luther King, Cesar Chavez and Teddy Kennedy-like
rulers of today.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9) Today's polls show John McCain still
poised to win a large majority of the delegates on Tuesday,
unless you can reach out to millions of Republican friends,
families and acquaintances to correct their incredibly
mistaken notion about McCain's immigration positions. The
Washington Post/ABC News poll this weekend asked likely
Republican voters which candidate, "regardless of who you
may support," do you "trust most to handle immigration
issues." The answer will shock you: 47% McCain, 22% Romney,
10% Huckabee, 5% Paul. This political illiteracy among
Republican voters threatens disastrous consequences. Some
open-borders apologists, such as syndicated columnist Ruben
Navarrette, say 47% of Republicans like McCain on
immigration because they support McCain's idea that the best
way to solve illegal immigration is to make nearly all the
illegal aliens into legal residents and U.S. citizens. That
is pure wishful thinking on the part of open-borders
advocates. Reputable polls for two years have shown that an
overhwelming majority of Republicans (and a majority of
Independents and Democrats) has opposed every one of
McCain's attempts to legalize illegal aliens with an
amnesty. I believe that at least half of those 47%
Republicans who express confidence in McCain's immigration
plans simply don't know the truth. #97
Dear 97: The POBB does not endorse anyone,
but we do DENIGRATE them. So the POBB's official stance is
BOO to McCain, BOO to Obama and BOO to Heil-lary. The
Official POBB Denigration list does not include Paul or
Romney.

10) "I certainly think the free-market
has failed." Hillary Clinton
Dear Hill: The editor thinks that you've
failed us.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11) Special to the POBB. Friends of the
editor have moved to Cairns, Australia for two years and
have been sending back reports of what it is like to live in
a Socialist country. Here is a short report from them. "Witchcraft
and superstitions are believed among some. Two mothers have
actually left with some of their younger children, forget
the fact that school started on Tuesday, and will be gone
for 4 weeks. Among their goals is to have the wicked
spirits that are trying to take them over be cast out by one
of the woman's aunts. Another single mother has actually
left her four children, ages 8-18 alone for three weeks
while she pursued her estranged husband in Melbourne with no
money. She had made no preparations for them for starting
school at all. Needless to say, we are not happy with what
she has done and the group leader is just waiting her
return. He is a police officer and deals with juveniles and
will be slapping a restraining order on her husband who
doesn't live with her but demands favors and she gives
them! If the state knew what she had done, she would lose
her children." EM

13) McCain answers every immigration question by saying he will "secure the border" and that "I know how to do it." But records of his past actions show that he has repeatedly voted against funding the border fence, against funding more Border Patrol, against expanding interior immigration agents. About the only time McCain has backed more security on the border is when it is tied to giving an amnesty. McCain has held border security hostage for years. He has been willing to work for border security only if Americans pay the "ransom" of giving him an amnesty. I am willing to accept that McCain is finally serious about securing the border, except that he really hasn't provided a serious, detailed plan for how he will do it. Read McCain's statements in recent interviews to see how terribly the "straight-talker" zig-zags to confuse voters about his ultimate plan to grant a gigantic amnesty. McCain laid out his Immigration Plan in radio ads in the South Carolina caucus: a) "Secure the borders." b) Deport around 2 million illegal aliens who have committed felonies. c) Treat the other 10-18 million illegal aliens with "compassion" by letting them keep their U.S. residency and their American jobs and eventually become citizens. #97
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14) Can you believe the nerve of
these people? Nine state legislators from the Mexican
state of Sonora traveled to Tucson to complain about
Arizona's new employer crackdown on illegals from
Mexico. It seems many Mexican illegals are now returning
to their hometowns and the officials in the Sonora state
government are ticked. Now, if California and Texas
could just enact the same laws and this country is
closing hospitals, parks, schools, etc, because we can’t
meet our OWN needs? #69
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15) It does not matter if you
personally like or dislike Bush. You need to sign this
petition and flood his e-mail box with e-mails that tell him
that, even if the House passes this bill, he needs to veto
it. It is already impossible to live on Social Security
alone. If the government gives benefits to 'illegal' aliens
who have never contributed, where does that leave those of
us who have paid into Social Security all our working
lives? As stated below, the Senate voted this week to allow
'illegal' aliens access to Social Security benefits.
Attached is an opportunity to sign a petition that requires
citizenship for eligibility to that social service. When
the petition hits 1000, send it to
comment@whitehouse.gov. GF
Dear GF: "...they're coming to take your
pension away, your pension away, your pension away..."
Never mind good readers, it was just a little ditty the
warped editor created to try and be funny. Guess what? It
wasn't funny. But seriously, these petitions are just
scams. What isn't false is that your pensions really are
being watered down by adding those who have never paid into
the system and are simply third-world welfare bums.
