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?

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.

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.
