| <p>ODESSA, Fla. - It's hard to believe that A.J. Vizzi spent nearly $200,000 defending his right to park his own pickup truck in his own driveway.</p><p>When he first moved in back in 1997, Vizzi was told that parking his large truck in the driveway wasn't against the subdivision's rules. But years later, the Eagles Masters Association, which governs the entire community, said it did violate their rules and therefore, the truck had to go.</p> |

On the way to Tampa Sat I only counted 21, on the way back to Orlando today my wife & I counted 70.... |

| Captured Palestinian "garbage truck" from Gaza NOTE HOW IT IS FITTED TO SHOOT MISSILES This is a captured Palestinian garbage truck from Gaza. The truck is set up to fire 9 Kasem rockets and then drive off innocently. The note pasted on the drivers door says In case of traffic violations, please contact The Palestinian Authority. The Israelis have evidence of ambulances and emergency vehicles set up the same way. Doesn't it make you all "warm and fuzzy" that Obama just gave the Palestinians 400 million dollars from your taxes? |
