"As a kid, every summer my family and I would take a week vacation in northern Muskegon County.
One day, we would hit the A&W drive thru in Fremont.
Another day, was getting hand-made Cherry Cokes at Todd Pharmacy.
To this day, I haven't found any other place that can make em up the way Todd's could"
I remember that back in the late 70's Todds had one of the last soda fountain/lunch counters in the state. It was wonderful.
Time marches on, I guess.

Jefferson County To Lay Off Up To 700 Workers To Avoid Bankruptcy
Jefferson County To Lay Off Up To 700 Workers To Avoid Bankruptcy
"Alabama's troubled Jefferson County may be forced to lay off nearly 700 employees - one-third of its workforce - as it struggles to avoid what would be the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history."
This is what happens when the public allows the unions and county leadership complete control until they destroy the county.
It CAN happen here.

Gates blasts NATO, questions future of alliance
My Way News - Gates blasts NATO, questions future of alliance
"America's military alliance with Europe - the cornerstone of U.S. security policy for six decades - faces a 'dim, if not dismal' future, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Friday in a blunt valedictory address.
In his final policy speech as Pentagon chief, Gates questioned the viability of NATO, saying its members' penny-pinching and lack of political will could hasten the end of U.S. support."
The comparison with the collapse of the League of Nations prior to WW2 is a bit eerie.

Weiner Nation
KUHNER: Weiner Nation - Washington Times
"The problem is that Weinergate goes to the heart of the Democrats’ cultural liberalism.
Try as they might to disown him, he embodies the party’s moral rot.
Mr. Weiner is a progressive crusader.
He has championed almost every secular leftist cause: socialized medicine, government day care, welfare, high taxes, abortion rights, homosexual marriage, gays in the military, sex education in schools and a European-style nanny state.
In other words, he peddles sex and socialism - the twin pillars of progressivism."

Our view: Focus on national debt, not another stimulus
Our view: Focus on national debt, not another stimulus - USATODAY.com
"The road to economic recovery has developed some major potholes recently.
First came housing data showing that prices had dropped to levels not seen since 2002.
Then came a surprising dip in consumer sentiment.
This was followed by a grim May jobs report: Private-sector job growth slowed, and the unemployment rate ticked up for a second straight month, to 9.1%.
Ouch!"
When you've lost USA Today, you've lost the country......heh...

Gordo's musings
I finally figured out the popularity of the iPad. Kids start out with cell phones that use touch screen tech. iPad has touch screen and traditional computers still use a mouse. Kids won't move to the mouse. Touch screen is the future...for now.Fruits. Why did "fruit" stop being both singular and plural? Is it the work of gay activists to redefine "fruits"?
Libs must be goofy.
They tell us that Obama would kill Sarah Palin in an election yet they demonize her in an attempt to keep her off the GOP ballot. One would think they'd be supporting the heck out of her.
Doesn't seem too smart to me.....but I never thought libs were all that smart to begin with.....
