WW II VET BURIED IN CARDBOARD BOX


Lawrence Davis Jr. was buried in a cardboard box in Florida’s National Cemetery in November of 2004.  The discovery was made during routine cemetery maintenance.  The medical examiner sent Davis' remains in a cardboard box and they were buried in the same box.  Veterans Affairs manager Maurice Roan said, "We usually bury the container they come in as long as it's sealed. We make every effort to make sure they get a dignified burial." 


COMMENTS:
I guess the word “dignified” depends on who is saying it.  This explanation sounds like something Obama would say. Why they didn’t just haul the body off to the city dump is beyond me.   

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. What’s the latest on Obama’s birth certificate, or lack thereof?  (Gerald ~ Roseville, CA)
A. The word is that a blockbuster of an announcement will soon be made.  http://news.teapartyinfo.org/HM?a=ENX7CqkHsf8u8SA9MKJH1ajnGHxKLDI44_cStGb5lw8W0bBhOG5mpqVsje_HhdAEXFEw

Q. There’s another GSA scandal brewing?  (Samantha ~ Palo Cedro, CA)
A. Yes.  GSA employees on a work-at-home program allegedly collected over $750,000 in travel pay in nine months, averaging $8,000 each.   

Q. Tens of thousands of people are losing their unemployment benefits.  Many of these have lost their cars, houses and families.  How bad is this going to get?  (Glenna ~ Reno, NV)
A. Within the next few months, half of the people currently drawing benefits are going to fall off the unemployment compensation rolls.  That, of course, means that the unemployment percentage will go down.  By Election Day, it could be down to 6% and we could still really have up to 20% of our labor force out of work or under-employed.  It is scary, isn’t it?
