I LOVE Sheriff Joe - I wish he would run for president I would so vote for him. My hubby is from Phoenix so we are huge fans of Joe.
If your (other GD's) not sure who Sheriff joe is - he is the sheriff who runs the tent city jails. He also dyes the jail uniforms pink and only lets them watch c-span and I think disney channel. He also reads bed time stories every night - LOVE HIM!
As for what you said about Al Sharpton - I agree. He is always starting crap and putting his nose where it should not be and in something for the most part he is wrong about. I also agree that he uses racial sensitivity to get others up in arms.
You got that right, Smartmom! I'm a big fan of Sheriff Joe and what he stands for. If you google him you can find tons of stuff
on how he runs the prison and how actually saves tax payers money in doing it! I'm behind him 100% and as far as Al Sharpton, he is just another Jesse Jackson. Jesse lives off others people money and reputations and both need to keep out of other peoples businesses! Maybe one day Jesse will get a real job and earn his own money??
Suject: Go Arizona!!
GO ARIZONA
With temperatures being even hotter than usual in Phoenix (116 degrees just set a new record), the Associated Press reports:
About 2,000 inmates living in a barbed-wire-surrounded tent encampment at the MaricopaCountyJailhave been given permission to strip down to their government-issued pink boxer shorts.
On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled up on their bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached 138 degrees inside the week before.
Many were also swathed in wet, pink towels as sweat collected on their chests and dripped down to their pink socks.
"It feels like we are in a furnace," said James Zanzot, an inmate who has lived in the tents for 1 1/2 years. "It's inhumane."
Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city and long ago started making his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic.
He said Wednesday that he told all of the inmates: "It's 120 degrees in Iraq and our soldiers are living in tents too, and they have to wear full battle gear, but they didn't commit any crimes . . . so shut your ___________ mouths."
KIND OF PUTS THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE DOESN'T IT?
HECK YEAH YOU GO GIRL!!!!!! I think we need more sheriffs JUST like him!
I was just about to comment on this and say, well, lets just say The Glove said it all, I couldn't agree more and basically everything you said, well lets just say you took the words right out of my mouth!!!
exactly neighbor! that man has always been a glorified con artist and a major pain in the a$$. nothing that comes out of his mouth is worth listening to or worth a grain of salt.
Out of my mind
I wouldn't say I actually like sherrif Joe, he reminds me of a high school dean with a chip on his shoulder,but I really can't stand Al Sharpton. The guy is a complete piece of crap....a lot of you guys only know him in recent years since he somehow(sold his soul) was able to get onto the national stage, but for us who live in NYC he's been a pain in the butt since I was a little kid. There were several cases where he flat out lied, usually about cops or Mayor Guiliani, and was later caught on it but never owns up to, just keep doing it more just like this guy said in his letter. He's a liar, a fraud and he uses racial sensitivity and envokes the names of black leaders like Martin Luther King to further himself.
