London Super-hero is born

This is Angle Grinder Man. He is a London vigilante who got mad one day at the “”boots”” the police put on cars that are illegally parked. The fine was $150 dollars, but a circular saw cost only $50 to rent. Guess which one he chose? Anyway, he’s now liberated about two dozen cars and is getting his picture in the papers, along with a bunch of cops who want to arrest him. It’s actually kind of odd because I’ve often said that the way bureaucratic officials move is very likely to lead to some form of terrorism at the domestic level, even if it is petty vandalism. To date I’m still shocked that no one has blown up a DMV, and the phone company and record industry are likely prime targets should a domestic terror war ever commence. Actually, it’s amazing the restraint most Americans do show given the insanity of many government officials. And those in Europe thought we just “”shot first and asked questions later””. Guess not.]]>

Mostly from people looking for ringtones and associated phone products. A few hours later, I have all of those sites up as ringtone affiliates. Now to see if it actually generates revenue.]]>

Permits

The county has said I don’t need a permit to rebuild hurricane damage.
The state has said I DO need a permit. So, I have to fill out the proper form, which means having a county permit, and filling out that proper form, which requires yet another form. I actually called the guy on the phone and he just said ‘come on in with some drawings’ but that was quickly replaced by ‘fill in these forms’ when I arrived at the office. All I wanted to do was to put some dirt on my yard. What a pain.]]>
