Lies: Dems Blamed HQ Break-In on Kari Lake, But We Found Crook's Facebook Page, he is a Democrat A self-professed Democrat has been arrested after an alleged break-in of the Arizona Democratic gubernatorial candidates campaign headquarters. Katie Hobbs previously cast blame on her Republican opponent when announcing the crime. Hobbs took aim at Kari Lake for inciting threats and spreading dangerous disinformation in a Thursday statement regarding the campaign office crime. The break-in allegedly took place earlier this week. The Arizona Democratic Party was even more explicit in blaming Republicans for the alleged burglary, taking aim at fringe Republicans for the act. However, an arrest in the case appears to debunk any notion of a Republican operative targeting Hobbs. Police have apprehended 36-year-old Daniel Mota Dos Reis in the case, a man who identifies as a Democrat on his Facebook page. Arrestee in break-in of Katie Hobbs campaign office has been identified. Charged with assault, pro-mask, immigrant from Angola. _____________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ Thanks to Lynn for these "Daffynitions" Abdicate (v.), to give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach Balderdash (n.), a rapidly receding hairline.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it! It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done! ____________________________________________________ >From Liz After directory assistance gave me my boyfriend's new telephone number, I dialed him -- and got a woman. "Is Mike there?" I asked confused. "Umm, he's in the shower," she responded. "Please tell him his girlfriend called," I said and hung up. When he didn't return the call, I dialed again. This time a man answered. "This is Mike," he said. "You're not my boyfriend!" I exclaimed. "I know," he replied. "That's what I've been trying to tell my wife for the past half-hour." ================================================= DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From:Brad Re: No file extensions Dear Webby I have a problem telling different files apart because I usually give them the same name if they belong to the same project.
