Ric Flair Surrenders
Wrestling's "Nature Boy" booked for Charlotte road rage incident
NOVEMBER 29--Wrestler Ric "The Nature Boy" Flair surrendered this morning to North Carolina cops on misdemeanor charges that he throttled a fellow motorist during a road rage incident last week on Interstate 485. The 56-year-old Flair (real name: Richard Fliehr) was booked this morning at the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office, where the below mug shot was snapped. Flair, who allegedly grabbed a Charlotte man by the throat and kicked (and dented) the guy's Toyota during the November 23 confrontation, posted $1000 bond and was released. According to an arrest warrant, after roughing up Robert Steele, Flair told him that he "had his tag number and should knock the shit out of him." Flair is facing simple assault and battery and injury to personal property charges.

Day by day, Mike Huckabee is defining anew, "What leadership looks like!" ( http://snipr.com/leaderlook ). With an endorsement close on the heel's of Chuck Norris's, Ric Flair's pro-Huck proclamation is nothing to wrestle about. The man sees that Huck's got a great platform - especially the part about (what Chuck Norris said in HuckChuckFacts at YouTube) eliminating theiRS.
Of immediate concern is the taxing of business income and payroll. Businesses attempt to recoup these costs by embedding them in their prices, which are ultimately paid by consumers. This pernicious system of "hidden taxation" accounts for 22 cents of every retail dollar spent by consumers. This gives Congress a "lever" to extract money from businesses, via lobbyists, to secure "tax favors" resulting in
¢ an increasingly complex, and expensive, tax code
¢ higher prices (*or* lesser dividends to shareholders/401Ks/public retirement funds, *or* lost jobs to employees - where foreign competition will not let a company raise prices)
¢ exports not price-competitive, globally ( http://snipurl.com/tradeinequityblog )
¢ company relocation to foreign countries with lower costs
¢ foreign products going untaxed upon entry into the U.S.
How serious is this situation? Dr. Laurence Kotlikoff is on record ( http://snipr.com/meltdowninprogress ) that, unless citizens' true tax costs are made visible by virtue of enacting the FairTax, politicians will continue to pit rich against poor, individuals against corporations, while they spend us into ruin.

hmmmmmm...

barry goldwater jr vs. chuck norris

peter schiff vs. ric flair

we are talking the presidency here aren't we?

Wait! I have a Rick Flair story!
My son beat the kid who beat Ric Flair's son in high school wrestling at a tournament in Winston-Salem N.C.

Well, look at it this way: Glenn Jacobs (Kane) and Sean Morley (Val Venis) have both endorsed Dr. Paul, and now Richard Fleihr (Ric Flair) endorses the Huckster. Endorsements happen, and it's just part of the game.

Well... Huckabee's a shoe-in now.

You know you have a winner when you have the only 80 year old turkey in professional wrestling on your side...

Wow, I wonder who "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes is endorsing.

If Brad and Angeline support him next, I'm moving to Canada.

And now who has Chuck Norris? It is starting to look like has been week at the race and the idea and pictures are scary.

Anyone interested in a funny (but it really happened) column about what Huckabee is really like face-to-face should try:

Serious?

Wait a minute. If Rudy is courting the NASCAR crowd and Huckabee is courting the Pro Wrestling fans, aren't they both after the same group of incurious, uninformed, never-read-a-book, yahoos? Who is courting the bowlers and the paint-ball enthusiasts?

Who watches pro wrestling anyway? It is just an excuse for overgrown men on roids to get greased up and grope each other. Kind of gay if think about it.

Nature boy say it aint so!!!

Is this the new way to court the so called Southern vote?
