Montana People: Weird In Their Own Special Way  By : Jenny Harker We have all heard tales of strange people living in Montana; the Unabomber, the freedom militias, the poor sods stuck in the Federal Witness Protection Program. I assure you the majority of people living in Montana are friendly, polite, are reasonably sane, and will go out of their way to lend a hand to strangers. Now, I am a cynical Californian transplanted in Montana. I cannot help but feel suspicious of helpful strangers. Oh, the clerk wants to volunteer the use o... Senior Ticked For Walking Too Slow; Others Try Roller Skates  By : Tom AtteaNewsLaugh.com An 82-year-old woman was recently issued a ticket in California for crossing a street too slowly.

It is, of course, much too optimistic to hope that the munici... Conversation In An Age Of Confusion  By : Tom AtteaNewsLaugh.com What do people talk about when they all believe different things and nobody is sure what the other person believes? Then you add to that the usual courtesy that most people don’t want to offend other people, especially when it comes to the topics people disagree about with the most intensity, such as politics and religion, which all but the most foolhardy consider way off limits, at least, in what is referred to as polite conversation. Actually, the silence of the times...

The Illogical Puppet Of Iran: Any Chance Of Getting The Little Guy A Better Script?  By : Tom AtteaNewsLaugh.com First, we learned to say and spell the puppet’s name: Armadinejad. Not exactly Smith. Then we watched him perform upon a crafty mullah’s knee. We have been patient, like any fair-minded audience, but the more we listen, the more we realize that the puppet has a script that just doesn’t make sense. He raises one hand and, without the mullah appearing to move his own lips, practiced ventriloquist that he is, little Armadinejad threatens to “wipe Israel off the map” and blust... Saddam Hussein Seeks Mcdonald's Francise  By : Tom AtteaNewsLaugh.com Saddam Hussein, in his latest bid to escape execution for crimes against his own people, has applied to McDonald’s for a franchise.

Try this experiment. Next time you go up to your favorite newsstand, scan all the overwro... Gas Prices Go "Gas-Tronomical!"  By : Tom Attea Recently, the price of gas has gone up approximately three or four times a day, depending on how energetic the person is who climbs up and changes the prices at your favorite filling station, until the only word for the skyrocketing astonishment is "gas-tronomical!” President Bush took a bold stance on the issue, saying, ““Americans understand the price of crude oil is going up but they will not accept manipulation of the market. And neither will I!” Proud words, perhap... France Attacks Iran: U. S. And Britain Object  By : Tom Attea France, casting aside its usual insistence on diplomacy, even when it’s obvious to every person who happens to be alert that it can’t work, finally grew impatient with Iran’s centrifuge-rattling behavior and launched a unilateral attack on it.

President Bush said, “I just d... Russia Defends Iranian Nuke Program; Considers Position Good Customer Service  By : Tom Attea While the civilized world has reacted with horror at Iran’s plan to harness the energy of the atom, as in bombs away, Russia has steadfastly defended the menacing mullahdom’s nuclear ambitions. At first, any person distinguished for responsible behavior is taken back by such apparently reckless advocacy, not only because it seems wildly risky, if not outright self-destructive, but also because one does not expect it from people who have decided to present themselves as suc...

Bin Laden Releases Another Audiotape: Hideout Too Dark For Video  By : Tom Attea Apparently, unable to contain his enthusiasm for bumming out the relatively nice and unsuspecting folks who make up much of the Western World, the misinformed medievalist has released another drearily threatening audiotape.

Knowing the tenuous disposition of his cardiovascular system, he de...

Jokes, The World's Best Medicine  By : Boyd Troublerr What were the last jokes that made you roll around on the floor because you were laughing so hard?

Europeans Press Iran; Present Cartoon Of Bombs Dropping On Nuclear Plants  By : Tom Attea European negotiators, intent on reaching a peaceful agreement with Iran about its controversial nuclear program, resorted to a tactic that has recently proven to be the most reliable way to elicit a response in much of the Muslim world.

Jimmy Hoffa Continues To Evade FBI  By : Tom Attea As the FBI, operating on a tip from a prisoner who reported witnessing suspicious activity on the night of Jimmy Hoffa’s disappearance, continued to search for the former teamster leader, he was somehow still able to evade capture.

Bush Reveals New Missile Defense; Guides Weapon Back To Launching Pad  By : Tom Attea Rest easy, America, even when you contemplate the abbreviated flight of North Korea’s errant but someday, they hope, long-range Taepodong 2 missile – a name that, should the nation ever decide to enter the capitalist hustings, doesn’t sound like a very promising appellation for a new car.

This was one of those places that was built in the 1940’s, and probably reached it’s heyday in the late 50’s & early 60’s. The great, brick behemoth, was located at the intersection of two major thoroughfares, and had a number of display windows facing the street on two full sides of the building.
