THEY DID THE CRIME! THEY DID THE TIME! NOW IT’S TIME TO RESTORE THEIR RIGHTS. THEY PAID THEIR BILL TO SOCIETY.–ROGUE Attorney General Charlie Crist said Wednesday the state may soon make it easier for some felons to get their civil rights restored without having to go through the full clemency process.
Crist is one of four members of the Clemency Board, and he said that while fully automatic restoration of every ex-felon’s rights isn’t likely to be agreed on anytime soon, a faster, easier process, including possible automatic restoration for some who have committed minor crimes, may be considered by the board as early as next month.
Florida is one of seven states where convicted felons are permanently prevented from voting, holding public office, getting a license for many occupations – civil rights that can only be restored through an arduous clemency process.
“If you believe somebody has paid their debt to society and you believe in forgiveness, then wouldn’t that be appropriate?” Crist said. “It’s got to be sort of a progressional thing, but I think we do need to progress.”
Gov. Jeb Bush said in September that he thought some reforms need to be made. He reiterated that earlier this week, although he didn’t discuss specifics about how far he’d like to go.
At the September meeting, another Clemency Board member, Florida Chief Financial Officer Tom Gallagher, suggested creating a panel of officials to review the cases of some or all the nearly 4,000 felons who are awaiting a clemency hearing. That board could provide quick approval to the easiest ones, with more difficult cases proceeding to the full board.
Talk of reforms follows a July court ruling that ordered Florida to make it easier for ex-felons to get their rights back.

BIKERNET RELATIONSHIP ADVICE–A biker and a woman were having drinks when they got into an argumentabout who enjoyed sex more.
The man said, “Men obviously enjoy sex more than women. Why do youthink we’re so obsessed with getting laid?”
“That doesn’t prove anything,” the woman countered. “Think aboutthis… When your ear itches and you put your little finger in it andwiggle it around, then pull it out, which feels better-your ear oryour finger?

STEALTH REPORT–I don’t have a lot for the report today. My job search continues and my frustration builds but even with all of this going on there is still a lot to be thankful for and I have come to realize this is only a temporary situation.
For me these are just a few things I have to be thankful for. I am thankful for my wife “THE MEANEST,” she has been by my side through all of this and that isn’t the easiest thing to do sometimes. I am thankful for my son Blair and the rest of my family. Even though I lost Justin I am thankful for the memories of him and his life. I am thankful for my health and that my back is completely healed. I am thankful for my friends and all of their well wishes through this difficult time.
Some of you may not think you have a lot to be thankful for but I am sure if you stop and really think about what is important, you will come up with a few things.
Well that is about it for this week. I would like to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Until next week!

THE BIKERNET WIVES’ DEPARTMENT– 1. Women are unpredictable. Before marriage, she expects a man, after marriage she suspects him, and after death she respects him.
2. There was this guy who told his woman that he loved her so much that he would go thru hell for her. They got married – and now he is going thru hell.
3. A man inserted an ‘ad’ in the classifieds : “Wife wanted”. Next day, he received a hundred letters. They all said the same thing: “You can have mine.”
4. When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: either the car is new or the wife.
5. It’s easy to tell if a man is married or not. Just watch him drive a car with a woman sitting beside him. If both his hands are on the wheel, you can be sure he is married.
6. A man received a letter from some kidnappers. The letter said, “If you don’t promise to send us $100,000 I swear that we will kidnap your wife.” The poor man wrote back, “I am afraid I can’t keep my promise but I hope you will keep yours.”
7. “What’s the matter, you look depressed.”
“I’m having trouble with my wife.”
“What happened?”
“She said she wasn’t going to speak to me for 30 days.” “But that ought to make you happy.”
“It did, but today is the last day.”
DEFINITION OF A WOMAN–When she is 18 – She is a football, 22 men going after her. When she is 28 – She is a hockey ball, 8 men going after her. When she is 38 – She is a golf ball, 1 man hitting on her. When she is 48 – She is a pingpong ball, 2 men pushing to each other.
MAN–At 20 – A man is like a coconut, so much to offer, so little to give. At 30 – He is like a durian, dangerous but delicious. At 40 – He is like a watermelon, big, round and juicy. At 50 – He is like a mandarin orange, the season comes once in a year. At 60 – He is just like a raisin, dried out, wrinkles and cheap.
IN THE BEGINNING– God created earth and rested. Then God created man and rested. Then God created woman. Since then, neither God nor man has rested.
