"McDonald's same-store sales rise 5 percent in April
Thursday May 8, 8:14 am ET

OAK BROOK, Ill. (AP) -- McDonald's Corp., the nation's No. 1 hamburger
chain, said Thursday its global same-store sales rose 5 percent in
April.
McDonald's said same-store sales, or sales at locations open at least
a year, climbed 2 percent in the U.S., helped by the chain's breakfast
menu and new products.

In Europe, same-store sales rose 6.3 percent, led by France, the U.K.,
Russia and Germany.

McDonald's said the launch of a premium burger in France and Germany
plus a Monopoly promotion in the U.K. boosted sales in those
countries.

Same-store sales in Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa climbed 7.8
percent.

Same-store sales is a key indicator of restaurant performance since it
measures growth at existing locations rather than newly-opened ones.

Yup........I sure get tired of hearing about these Goddamn Bullies

CRANE COUNTY--Chasing storms is what Brian Barnes does for a living.
And it was while he was doing just that, that he says he found himself
in a difficult and strange situation involving a Crane County
Sheriff's Deputy. Barnes was out on Tuesday in Crane County as severe
weather moved across the region. Crane County was under a tornado
warning for about an hour Tuesday night.

"I told him that I was helping out the National Weather Service in San
Angelo, and they were relaying my reports to Midland. He told me he
didn't care, and that I needed to go."

Barnes thought it was his obligation to stay put and follow the
storms, a decision that landed him in jail.

Obama Backs U.N. Bill to Disarm Americans

Four Winds 10
May 7, 2008

This is just in from Sen. Coburn's office. Obama has authored a bill, and it
is now in the Senate, to give the UN .7%% of our GNP to be used to feed
hungry 3rd worlders, AND to use UN force to disarm you and me and all gun
owners. No one in the media has brought this to the attention of the general
sheeple out here.

Senator Coburn is blocking this bill.

Patrick Guinn

Obama's bill S2433 would require the U.S. to initially direct .7 percent of
our GNP into the United Nations coffers for distribution as they see fit,
for "food" to third world nations. Under earlier agreements this would
evolve into a national tax on the U.S. with the UN attempting to levy this
on all first world nations.

The U.N. would have the power to increase this rate of taxation.
