Obama Just Loves Steel Workers

Hey, here’s Barack Obama’s new ad. If you’re like me, the more you see Barack Obama’s ads, the less you like him. This ad opens with the line: “I moved to Chicago to help workers whose lives were torn apart when steel plants like this one left town.” Really? Did you hover on the power of hope and change to get to Chicago just to help stranger steelworkers?

Good thing Hillary Clinton’s ads are just as unintentionally loathesome and Walnuts! McCain is, well, Walnuts! McCain.

Kids Actually Take Candy From Stranger

A portion of the crime log in Warminster, Bucks County:

Man gives candy to boys: Police say a man in a gold/brown four-door sedan gave candy to two boys on the side of Norristown Road.

According to police, a 10-year-old and his 12-year-old brother were waiting for a ride when the car pulled over on the side of the road. Thinking that the car was their ride, the boys approached it, and the man waved a bag of candy out the window, giving the boys two mint Lifesavers and a Tootsie Roll. No words were exchanged, however. The driver was described as being a white male in his 40s or 50s with a full head of gray hair and no facial hair. Anyone with information is asked to call Warminster police at (215) 443-5000.

If you know anything about this, please contact authorities. As usual, this is for entirely selfish reasons: You see, I really would be interested in if this man would be charged with, if anything. The odd thing about every child being told not to take candy from strangers is it’s legal. Right? This guy didn’t say anything, he just gave the kids candy. That can’t be against the law. If it is, what a great crime to be charged with. “I’m in for giving candy to some kid” etc.

Also, did the kids actually take the candy? Way to listen.
