Ask Bob!
"Everybody's got a little light. Under the sun, under the sun, under the sun." - Parliment - This week I decided that it was time to save money! Too many extraneous expenses in this house yes-sir-eee. Besides a non-Caucasian in Nebraska isn't really secure in their job until they've worked there for at least a year. Since I've only been at my current employer for about eight months, I figure it's about time that I either get fired, or I get to stay for as long as I want. At this stage it can go either way, so I figure I better start saving - just in case! Speaking of Omaha, Nebraska, yesterday on the news they said a policeman who shot and killed an unarmed man in broad daylight was found innocent. I was really surprised to find out that the man he murdered was black! Actually my real surprise was that it's been so long since the local police murdered a minority person...this is Omaha, you know, and I'm pretty sure it's been at least a year since the Iowa police murdered a Latino-lad at a soccer game. Speaking of good old Nebraska-know-how, a few years back they said they wanted to get tough on crime so the police focused on the drug trade. What happened is they had a hey-day throwing small time dope smokers in jail. They threw so many "victimless crime" offenders in jail we had to build a new prison, which cost a lot of money. In fact the budget used for our prison system has increased over nine percent since they decided to get "tough on crime." Meanwhile, during the same time period, we've had less than a six percent increase in our public education system. Maybe just, maybe if less money was spent trying to throw dope smokers in jail, and then that money was spent on education, the overall community would be better off. Oh well, I guess that's just not the Nebraska way...better to spend all your resources throwing hippies in jail and shooting black people than educating the children. So, back to my money saving ideas! I decided to look around the house and stop buying stuff I never use. I came up with this list, which you may consider using yourself:
