Niagara Falls no longer Number One in Number Two

It’s nice to report some good news for a change. Especially when it’s a smelly subject like sewage. Lots and lots of sewage.

The folks in Niagara Falls Canada have been hanging their heads and holding their noses, because they were at the top of the list of Ontario communities dumping the most raw or partially treated sewage into the environment.

But they aren’t the worst. The report was wrong. A decimal point was in the wrong place. Yep, someone did a crappy job of proofreading. A number that was supposed to be 6.5 million was listed as 6.5 billion. With a B. Oops.

When the report came out last month, local officials smelled a rat. They knew the report stunk….and after weeks of pouring over their records, they got the point.

So folks in the falls can flush those toilets without fear. And that’s the latest poop.

OJ: “I’m living in fear” The world: “Okay”

Sometimes you just have to stop and appreciate the irony. It seems OJ Simpson is afraid his cellmate is going to kill him.

The Juice, who is no longer loose, is serving at least 15 years in a Nevada prison for armed robbery. According to the National Enquirer, Simpson has told friends his cellmate told him he’s going to strangle Simpson while he’s sleeping. And let’s face it, if it’s in the Enquirer it must be true.

Why would anyone want to kill OJ? Again….this is according to the Enquirer, so we have to believe it….Simpson says the cellmate is in the slammer for rape & murder, and he hates OJ for getting away with murder.

Of course the real irony would be if the cellmate is the real killer of Ron & Nicole, and OJ found him after all.

Thanks but no tanks

I know, I’m just a skunk. I’m no politician (although a lot of them stink worse than me) and I’m no expert on national security. But I can’t help but wonder, IS DICK CHENEY CRAZY?????

We just found out that the former Vice President wanted to send US troops into Lackawanna. Granted, there are parts of the Steel City that look like a battle ground….but sending US troops into a US city? Really?

Apparently this all happened when the government was getting ready to arrest the Lackawanna Six. You remember them….our local terror cell. They’re such high-level terrorists one of them is already out of jail. But Cowboy Cheney wanted to send US troops to arrest them, and declare them enemy combatants….which would have meant a military tribunal instead of a federal court trial. Fortunately President Bush put the kibosh on the idea.


Can you imagine that discussion in the Oval Office. Cheney would be like “It’s the war on terror! Send in the troops! Can I ride in a tank?” And Bush would be like “Chill out, dude. Have a beer”.


Anyway, the FBI made the arrests. No incidents. No troop invasion. Nothing to see here.

You have the right to remain stupid

We keep hearing that today’s teens are lazy, they don’t have any initiative, and all they do is play video games & text their friends. Maybe that’s true of many…but not one Buffalo teenager. You gotta admire his initiative. Unfortunately, it got him arrested.

That’s because he was impersonating a cop. But he was doing it in a damn clever way. The 16 year old was driving a Ford Crown Victoria that was a dead ringer for an unmarked police car. Plus, it was lit up like a Christmas tree….when he activated the emergency lights (all 30 of them!) and his illegal siren, he had no trouble getting drivers to pull over near Canal Fest in the City of Tonawanda.

Obviously the kid is not a cop. It gets better…he’s not even a licensed driver. He just has a learner’s permit. (and it may now be a while before he actually does get a license)

When he was busted by a real cop, siren boy told the officer he was a member of the Kenilworth Fire Department. That’s not true either….but he did recently file an application to join the force. Somehow we don’t think that’s gonna happen.

Welcome to my blog

Welcome to the land of snarkdom. I’m Snarky, the world’s most opinionated skunk. (of course I may be the world’s ONLY opinionated skunk) Why am I called Snarky? It’s not just my name, it’s my way of life.
I know, a lot of people think being snarky is a bad thing. The definition is snide and sarcastic. I say those are good things. Just look at the really snarky people out there. Jon Stewart is snarky. In fact, he’s in the snarky hall of fame. Neil Patrick Harris is snarky, but Simon Cowell is just snotty. David Letterman is still kind of snarky in a grumpy old man kind of way. Oprah is the anti snark.
You might agree with my opinions. You might disagree. You might think I’m an idiot. Sometimes I think I’m an idiot. But more often, I think there are a lot of bigger idiots out there. Dumb people. Really dumb people. Politicians, sports stars, celebrities, or just plain common idiotic people. I’m going to write about them. Stop back and see what I have to say. Tell me what you think. Even if you disagree with me.
