Is it not about time?

Now that gay marriage is legal in 9 states and polls show the majority of Americans supporting it, is it not the right time for the Supreme Court to make it legal  in all states?

Sad effect of the union strike

The Hostess strike seemed a national event but here are the effects hitting home right here. Now there are a few more people without jobs going into the holidays.

Unions kill twinkies a sad day indeed

Twinkies were never my favorite Hostess food. But I did love a Ho Ho. It looks like the union picked a bad time to not back down, and now they will have no jobs.

Boone does not fee so small when this happens

It is a shame that the residents were not armed. If so the one that got away may not have. It looks like when students want to attack for money and drugs they pick fellow students who are less likely to have a firearm to defend themselves.

This will make you feel old

I agree my use of keyboard helped my already marginal cursive wring get worse. But I would like to think i could communicate without the need of electricity to power a computer phone or keyboard.

Black Thursday ?

I personally in the past have enjoyed going out early in the morning at 4 or 5 am to grab a deal or two. But the last couple years have been making it more and more a Thanksgiving event. I am not in favor of making it a competition between time with family and turkey or a chance to grab a great bargain.

Congratulations to President Obama

I hope that we will see more cooperation in the second term from congress and the President to help America rather then just their respective parties.

Election Day !

It does not matter who you vote for as long as you vote! If you cannot get to the polls please call either the local Republican party HQ or Democratic HQ and they will arrange transportation for you.

Please help our northern neighbors

With a fresh storm headed their way our friends in the north could really use our help. Please give what ever you can. To see so many still with out power gas or shelter is a tragedy.

This is crazy

People who have lost it all are going with out electric even longer because of unions. Out of state help came in and was turned away in Seaside NJ a place devastated by sandy. They were not allowed to help since they were from the wrong union. Needless to say I still am anti union and have no intention of  changing that stance anytime soon when things like this still happen.
