Here is a list of laws that are still active on the books for Great Britain. Have a good laugh
London (AFP)
Most ridiculous British law:
1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament
2. It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside-down
3. In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless except as a clerk in a tropical fish store
4. Mince pies cannot be eaten on Christmas Day
5. In Scotland, if someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your toilet, you must let them enter
6. A pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman's helmet
7. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the king, and the tail of the queen
8. It is illegal to avoid telling the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing
9. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament in a suit of armour
10. In the city of York it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow

Hillary Ads Words To Action
In case you don't live in Iowa or New Hampshire here are some ads from Hillary Clinton's campaign.
After watching these videos do you think that Hillary cares about America, that she is the only candidate who can make a difference, that she has a million ideas and not enough time to implement all of them? Unfortunately, I believe every commercial ad is the same, big talk small results. I am not saying Hillary would make a horrible President, cause she is definitely getting my vote. However, like all candidates, those running for president tell the American people what they want to hear even though the results will most likely be minimal. The simple idea of don't make promises you can't keep should be in every one's minds.

FEMA, Lies, Lies, & More Lies
Well Homeland Security is looking like it is still producing great results with FEMA. In case anyone has forgotten FEMA did not handle the Katrina disaster in 2005 very well. "Brownieeeeeeeeeeee you're doing a heck of a job" was not the case. Now in light of the various wildfires in CA, FEMA decided to creat an Ad hoc press conference which was missing one important element, the press. A notice from FEMA was given out 15 mins. prior to the press conference. Needless to say, the press was unable to make it with such short notice. So FEMA had some of it employees act as the press and ask what I would consider soft questions, like are you happy with how FEMA is handling the situation. Glad to see the Federal Gov't can embarrass themselves yet again. Go Bush Go!
