I can not help but think this is wrong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Roderick_Davies

Romney speech

I thought he did better then expected. I would still not say he is a great speech giver in the likes of a Reagan on Clinton or even Obama when allowed a prompter. But he came off more human then I have seen him before. A little to much God this God that for my tastes.

My favorite parts of the night Clint Eastwood by far the most entertaining speaker there and well in to his 80's

Best speaker of the night Marco Rubio. If he was ruining I would vote for him tomorrow.

What do you think ?

For those who want higher taxes

How much more should this man pay then he already does. Remember he is one of the richest men in the world # 16 on the Forbes 500.

Wow just Wow

Very very touching. I hope i am spoken of this fondly when my time comes to turn of the electrical signals that keep me alive.

Who would have though this would happen in Arizona

Of all the states i would not have had Arizona in the top 10 for this to happen but good for her district!

And i think the speaker has a great accent :)

A woman's choice

This article was interesting to me. I believe only the woman who is pregnant should make a choice for herself. Here is a way that denying that choice to her can force years of pain upon her.

What do you expect

I do not see anything ground shaking that will come from the convention. I think for Romney to get the traction he would need to win ,the debates will be the make it or break it time for him.

is it too late?

http://www.bizjournals.com/twincities/morning_roundup/2012/08/best-buy-investors-a-5050-chance-of.html


Personally I think the damage has been done . Years of bad customer service bad press about how customers are mislead ruining the geek squad all reasons i feel it is too late for best buy.

Nasty posts

I am curious does anyone think that on political themed blogs or even generally themed ones, that nasty mean spirited posts help their party gain votes or hurt it ?

The Republican Convention

How many will be watching this. I am not sure that it will be much more then a pep rally repeating the same talking points.  http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-08-27/romney-sraddles-warmer-pitch-with-obama-attacks-in-tampa

Good example of why the death penalty is needed

How can this man do what he did and stay firmly unrepentant yet only get 21 years?  That is  not even a year per person he killed.

I can not believe my eyes reading this that student housing was turned down?

Please back up !

As any reader of this blog is a phone or computer user I ask all of you please back up !
Here is a great story showing why you must and how expensive and disastrous it can be if you do not.

I am undecided

As a person in his later 40's retirement is something i think about. I believe strongly that who ever is in office will not be who i depend on to take care of my self in retirement. I believe it will be my responsibility since both parties do not seem to have a viable solution. Who do you think will be the best choice for the next 20 years of retires?

I agree with this how about you

With proper training and background checks i think this is a perfectly acceptable way to not infringe on the second medicament.

The money i pumped in to those machines over the years make me wince, but the fun was so cool. And you played games with a friend in person not over the internet.

How else could a perfect bump of the elbow let you pull off a finish in mortal combat on your best friend.

Really?

In 2012 and after just landing on Mars how can this even be taken seriously?

Do you believe him ?

I personally do not care how much money a candidate has. I go by what the stance is on a issue i care about by the candidate. On the other hand the president has made multiple millions of dollars on his book while in office and i have seen little interest in his tax returns.

Hard choices

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/story/2012-08-15/homeland-security-immigration-program/57065692/1

I can not condone this is as ok. I appreciate that these young people were not able to have a choice in breaking the law to come here. But i also see so many non criminal citizens here struggling that to me this is just a way for once side to pander for votes in the upcoming election. What do you think readers?

Was there ever a doubt ?

Boone Taxpayer Dollars at Work

With all the issues in Boone, is it really necessary to spend this much to gain favor in Raleigh?

Woz makes a good point

Do you keep data locally as well as online. I personally would never want to only be in the cloud. I want local copies of everything i have also.

I my opinion of your sane enough to commit a mass murder your sane enough to receive the death penalty.

Boone continues to bully small business

http://www.goblueridge.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=16682%3Anoise-ordinance-suit-moved-to-us-district-court&catid=1&Itemid=155

I am always appalled at how Boone's government caters to big projects and chains like the new  complexes of student housing http://www.hcpress.com/news/new-clawsongreene-mega-complex-planned-for-august-of-2014-near-intersection-of-421-194-pending-re-zoning-request.html do those names sound familiar?

 Also giving any break needed to attract more chain restaruants and stores. But yet business that has been here for ever like live music on King Street and in downtown is pressured relentlessly, as to make it impossible to turn a profit. Soon downtown will be all chains and the town owned theater is all there will be for entertainment in Boone

Time to stock up

I am so disjointed that in some states there is strong political movement to have this taught in our schools. And people complain the USA is falling behind in math and science vs the rest of the world.

Cause and effect

Would all the money being made on these detention centers be part of the reason that are borders are not secured?
