         <title>Local Radio Station Becomes &quot;Outlaws&quot;...</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<center><img src="http://www.sacramentorepublicrat.com/Images/outlaw.jpg"></center>

<p>Local radio station "The Zone 100.5", is currently running a contest in which listeners can win $25,000.00!  That's great, right?  Well, not so fast!</p>

<p>While I must admit that this contest is legal, morally is not a word I would use to describe it.  Basically there is an "Outlaw" that has $25,000.00 and if you can follow the clues, you can find the location of this "Outlaw" and win the 25 grand.</p>

<p>What the radio station is not telling you upfront, is that you really are not getting $25,000.00, at least not right away.  Upon choosing a winner, that person will receive a Share Certificate from the Sacramento Credit Union in the amount of $3,440.00.  Upon maturation the Share Certificate will be valued at $25,000.00.  This takes 10 years.  </p>

<blockquote>One Prize will be award: The Prize consists of a $3,440.00 Share Certificate from Sacramento Credit Union. Upon maturation, the Share Certificate will be valued at $25,000. ARV at the time the prize is won: $3,465.00. The winner of the share certificate will be subject to the terms and conditions as set forth by Sacramento Credit Union:

<p>Initial Deposit: $3,440.00 to be supplied by Sacramento Credit Union (Winner must join the credit union. Failure to join voids winning Share Certificate offer. Sacramento Credit Union will supply the $25 to open and waive the $5 member fee.)</p>

<p>Annual Percentage Rate: 20%</p>

<p>Term of Share Certificate: 10 years from open date (certificate will not earn interest after the maturity date) </p>

</blockquote>

<p>If for some reason the link stops working, you can view a PDF of the rules <a href="http://www.sacramentorepublicrat.com/Images/The_Outlaw_Contest_Rules.pdf">HERE</a>.</p>

<p>While I have to give them credit for a clever contest, I cannot go along with the misleading of their listeners.  In this day and age, $25,000.00 could go a long way.  People could pay bills, save for college, etc... We have people losing their homes right now due to high foreclosures.  Maybe the $25,000.00 could prevent one person from having that happen to them.</p>

<p>I hope that 100.5 the Zone, steps up, corrects this and gives the winner the full $25,000.00 and not a Share Certificate that matures in 2018.</p>]]></description>

         <title>America Voted... and You&apos;re ALL a Bunch of Idiots!</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>I typically do not follow American Idol.  However, this year I have actually found a couple of people I thought had genuine talent.  Tonight one of those individuals got voted off.  Michael Johns was eliminated.  </p>

<p>This is with out a doubt one of two things:</p>

<p>1. The voting system is fixed.</p>

<p>2. America is a bunch of flipping idiots!</p>

<p>There are a couple of people on that show that certainly should have gone way before Michael...</p>

<p>Michael Johns is a guy who I am looking forward to seeing on the charts...</p>]]></description>

         <title>Playing Hide The Torch in San Francisco</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Just when you thought you'd seen all the irony you'd ever see, (the Democrat Primary, the first Black vs. the first Woman nominee for President), the City of San Francisco is playing "hide the torch".</p>

<p>Throughout the city, would be protestors who are angry about China's treatment of Tibet are searching for the Olympic torch along it's route. The secret route has been changed to confuse and avoid the protestors.</p>

<p>Meanwhile in the Castro, hundreds of men are milling about the street saying "hide the torch, can we play"?</p>]]></description>

         <title>Monday Funny</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>This was too funny to wait til Friday...</p>

<p>One day a fourth-grade teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up -- fireman, mechanic, businessman, salesman, doctor, lawyer, and so forth.</p>

<p>However, little Justin was being uncharacteristically quiet, so when the teacher prodded him about his father, he replied, "My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes in front of other men and they put money in his underwear. Sometimes, if the offer is really good, he will go home with some guy and stay with him all night for money."</p>

<p>The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some exercises and then took little Justin aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your father?"</p>

<p>"No," the boy said, "He works for the Democratic National Committee and is helping to get Hillary Clinton to be our next President, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Why are so many people going on rampages?</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>You will wear a seat belt.<br />
You may not smoke.<br />
You will wear a helmet.<br />
You will buy and install a low flow toilet.<br />
You will restrict the flow of your shower head. <br />
You have broken no laws but may not carry a gun.<br />
You can not cut down your tree on your property with out a permit from the city.<br />
You cannot burn your wood stove or fireplace.<br />
You cannot use your barbecue.<br />
You cannot bring asprin or tylenol to school.<br />
You cannot protect yourself from a bully.<br />
The city can claim your property under eminent domain for a more preferred use even if it is not a public use.<br />
Watering your lawn is only permitted on odd or even days.</p>

<p>This is a partial list of the encroachment of liberal dominated government on individuals. Nearly every aspect of our lives in this "free country" is impacted by those who make it their life's work to tell others how they should live. </p>

<p>Humans are reaching the limits of their ability to cope, and simply going nuts. Perhaps we should be surprised how few are going crazy!</p>]]></description>

         <title>Scumbag Strikes North Natomas</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>A man on a bicycle has been robbing people at gunpoint in the Natomas area of Sacramento, police said.<br />
Authorities said the bike bandit has been cruising through Natomas, holding up residents and then riding away. Police said the man has tried to rob people at three different homes, attacking them as their vehicles pull into driveways.</p>

<p><img src="http://www.sacramentorepublicrat.com/Images/bikebanditsketch.jpg" ALIGN=LEFT></p>

<p>Michelle Lazark, spokeswoman for Sacramento Police Department, said the victims are often preoccupied with getting their familiies out of their cars and into their homes.</p>

<p>"He's aggressive, he's violent and he's willing to use a gun," Lazark said. Attacks have taken place on Vosspark Way, Bridgecross Drive and Arnold Gamble Circle. Local residents said they are worried.</p>

<p>"It shatters your confidence in your community," resident David Waldrop said. "You don't feel safe."</p>

<p><Blockquote>Police are searching for a man who roams a north Sacramento neighborhood on a bicycle and attempts to rob people as they pull into their driveways.</p>

<p>There were three such robberies over the weekend in Natomas, a vast neighborhood of newer homes that has experienced a wave of foreclosures.</p>

<p>At one home, the robber shot his intended victim in the buttocks as he tried to escape into his house.</p>

<p>Police say the robber confronts people while they are unloading their cars. He then brandishes a weapon and demands money.</p>
