| If budget is broken, work now to repair it
So you've blown your budget buying Christmas gifts for family, friends and even the neighbor's dog. That's little surprise. It's the American way to spend and spend. In an October survey by BIGresearch and the National Retail Federation, consumers said they planned to shell out an average of $923.36 during the holidays, a modest 4 percent increase over last year but up a steep
24 percent since 2003. .
Defence minister Lekota arrested for speeding
702 Eyewitness News can confirm Defence Minister Mosioua Lekota is out on bail this afternoon, after he was arrested for speeding last night.
While details are still vague, Eyewitness News understands Lekota was caught breaking the speed limit near the Grasmere Toll Plaza.
Metro Police say several motorists were arrested yesterday for speeding, but refused to confirm if Lekota was among them.
A reliable source says the minister was then taken to the Mondeor Police Station, before being released on R1 000 bail. It's unclear as to how fast he was driving.
The Automobile Association says if he indeed paid R1 000 bail, that means he was driving at around 40km/h over the speed limit. The limit on much of the N1 highway is 120km/h.
Lekota's office has been unavailable for comment.
TV SoundOff: Sunday Talking Heads
Who thinks we need a law to make English the official language of government. What American legislature is conducting business in some other language? And then he says that bureaucracy is destructive, after suggesting we bureaucratize the speaking of English. Dear, oh dear. But, too much talk about issue! Must talk about horse races! Gingrich says Romney has more delegates than anyone–I think that's wrong, actually! Yes. I am right. Here's the delegate count. Note Romney's use of Enron accounting. Also note that this story comes from ABC News! You'd think maybe someone there would tell Stephanopoulos that his own news division has a different answer. Gingrich thinks the "open" Hillary is better than the "austere" Hillary, and that it was strange to identify herself with LBJ.
Health Insurance Won't Insure Your Life
There is no excuse for the inhumanity CIGNA displayed, and no company should ever be allowed to arbitrarily dictate whether a person lives or dies.
Burn the greedy bastards, and burn them well.
