Police shut down a 7-year-old girl's lemonade stand. We bet you already know why.

Tulare, CA. August 6, 2009 - Daniela Earnest was doing what good, enterprising 7-year-olds do: running a lemonade stand to save up money for a trip to Disneyland. Unfortunately, while in better times this would have been perfectly un-newsworthy, the "progressive" and "modern" government of Tulare sent its Blue Goons to shut her operation down. The reason? She didn't have a permit or the proper "improved location".

D.A.G. Says: Government buffoonery and hyperregulation like this are why children sit at home playing video games all day. What child in their right mind would bother venturing out into the dreary surveillance state that is modern America when there is a world of adventure and fun on their TV set?

Pet store shut down for being behind on taxes. Not allowed to stay open to catch up.

Rhode Island's Division of Taxation has forced Dr. Doolittle’s Pets & More to close for being behind on taxes. The business fell behind on taxes when it had to use that money to simply stay afloat.

D.A.G. Says: Closing down means no revenue. Having no revenue is the antithesis of being able to pay taxes. We don't follow the logic. Oh wait, this is the government. There is no logic.

Seattle intends to lower educational standards. Let dumb jocks graduate with a D average.

On the recommendation of Superintendent Maria Goodloe-Johnson, Seattle Public Schools could change a decades-old policy and allow students with D averages to graduate from high school.

When asked if he thought D students should graduate, one student said "Yeah, because they can still get a job and stuff.” We're not making this up.

Widow of slain marine stuck in citizenship limbo thanks to bureaucratic red tape.

Hotaru Ferschke, widow of Michael Ferschke who was killed in Iraq, and her baby who was fathered by Michael can't stay in America because their military wedding is not valid because they didn't have sex. The trouble is that they obviously did, as evidenced by the baby which came out of her vagina.

Bush to Chirac: We must invade Iraq to invoke Gog and Magog.

According to this article, George W. Bush contacted Jacques Chirac prior to invading Iraq telling him that when he looked at the Middle East, he saw "Gog and Magog at work".

What is Gog and Magog? Read this excerpt from Ezekiel:

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
