Arsenic Dogs

Pro hot dog groups stress that individuals can safely consume arsenic laced hot dogs in moderation.

“We have bonuses that we need to pay,” said VSKRUU spokesperson Deidra Klinger. “Employees deserve their bonuses and their 15% annual pay increases, and because our customers have decided they can use less energy, their bills are lower. As a result, our revenue is down. It’s not good.”

High speed rail.

Were special interests to blame for railroading the Karlsfield, VT city council into a hasty decision on high speed rail?

Karlsfield, VT — Scrambling to get their share of federal funds to help facilitate the construction and maintenance of a high speed rail, city officials didn’t take into account the small size of the town. And local residents are letting the officials hear about it.

“It’s an eyesore,” said barber Charlie Collins, whose shop is three doors down from City Hall. “I mean, I don’t know what the H-E-double hockey sticks they were thinking, pardon my French.” Continue reading →
