What's Bettter And What's Worse In The News?

*What's Better With Icebergs?
  In the spring thaw, icebergs are netted by small boats and brought to a trawler where they are melted and then sold to a few companies like Iceberg Beer and Berg Water. This is water formed from glaciers and is thousands of years old. It is supposedly the purest water available naturally. So far, it is a one trawler business, hunting icebergs off the northeast coast of Canada, Newfoundland, and even Labrador.
* What's Better With Pot In Vermont?
  Vermont has become the 17th state to do away with criminal penalties for small amounts of marijuana, up to 1 ounce of marijuana and 5 grams of hashish. This needs to continue until all drugs are legal for adults or America is going to become so corrupted by the drug cartels that we may as well be ruled by them. Look at Mexico. It's coming our way.
* What's Worse For George Zimmerman?
  What's worse is that Zimmerman apparently hasn't found any "black" blood in him. He needs to find a black grandmother or someone so the blockheads who judge things on color can say, "This is a case of someone who has some black blood in him shooting someone who has, as far as we know, all black blood in him. I guess we can't cry racism." The reality is that finding will augur much better for Zimmerman than the way it is now being represented :"A white Hispanic has shot a young black." Since Zimmerman is an Hispanic, there is an excellent chance he has black blood from the African slaves brought in to cut the sugar cane. The Spaniards first tried using the Indians, but they died quickly in captivity. It's pathetic that we're talking color when we all originated in Africa. We are all "black" and every other color people have on earth.
*What's Wrong With The IRS Now
    It appears that despite Obama's words, the opposite is happening. As usual. FBI agents are not looking into IRS abuse to find out which employees in the hierarchy had a hand in discriminating against tea pary applications. Also, FBI agents are not trying to find out who initiated the order to start the discrimination against the tea party applications- the smoking gun. Oh, no! Not at all! Instead, the FBI is contacting tea parties  about their meetings and who comes to their meetings. So now the No-Justice Department and the IRS are together discriminating against the tea parties!
  This is what a Phi Beta Kappa lawyer, Cleta Mitchell, says is happening  in a half-page interview in the weekend edition of the Wall Street Journal. Incredibly, Ms Mitchell knows of another illegal advance the IRS has made in harassment and terror. The IRS is now going after donors to conservative causes. One donor to a conservative cause wanted to participate in a merger of two companies. The IRS told him he could not make that merger until he filled out some forms relating to his donations to conservative causes. You see how the IRS is taking this one step farther? It is now going from asking undue questions to saying if you don't answer these questions, we're going to stop your business or employment. If this is true, do you see how utterly dictatorial this is?
And we have Obama flashing his warm smile and using his soothing voice to tell us that this is completely unacceptable. Is there a "But I'm not going to stop it" that he's not saying. It sounds whacko which is not at all like the Wall Stree Journal. I urge you to check out Cleta Mitchell. Earlier today, Rush Limbaugh said we are going through a coup d'etat by Obama. Are we?
