Please, leave your Chimps at home. Thank you!

Please keep your Chimps and monkeys away from me. They belong in the jungle, people!

A couple's plans for a birthday party for their former pet chimpanzee turned tragic when two other chimps at an animal sanctuary escaped from their cage and attacked. St. James and LaDonna Davis were at the Animal Haven Ranch in Caliente to celebrate the birthday of Moe, a 39-year-old chimpanzee who was taken from their suburban Los Angeles home in 1999 after biting off part of a woman's finger.
The son-in-law of the sanctuary's owner killed the attacking animals, Martarano said. "He saw what was happening and had one kind of weapon with him and then got another he felt would be more substantial and shot them," Martarano said. "He pretty much saved a life."
St. James Davis had severe facial injuries and would require extensive surgery in an attempt to reattach his nose, Dr. Maureen Martin of Kern Medical Center told KGET-TV of Bakersfield. His testicles and a foot also were severed, Kern County Sheriff's Cmdr. Hal Chealander told The Bakersfield Californian.

Calculate Social Security "benefit" under Bush plan

Use the Bush "Social Security" Calculation form factoring in the so-called "Privatization"

democrats.senate.gov

All numbers are annual benefits adjusted for inflation. Calculations are based on Congressional Budget Office (CBO) economic assumptions. Under the Bush plan I would lose between $5500 and $6000 annually in benefits, a cut of 21%. Complete details available at the senate website.

Don't believe the Bush hype! It's a lie!
