The Country Rock Church drew about 100 people to Sunday night's meeting at the Pub Lounge in Sidney, 35 miles north of Dayton."

"I don't get to vote for President this primary season. I live in Michigan. The party leaders (both here and in D.C.) couldn't get their act together, and thus our votes will not be counted."
Mike is bummed at the Michigan demos.
Bummer, dude.....

Carter: Hamas is willing to accept Israel as its neighbor
"'They (Hamas) said that they would accept a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, if approved by Palestinians and that they would accept the right of Israel to live as a neighbor next door in peace,' Carter said."
Jimmah amazingly worse as an ex-president than he was as the president.
Now he's the PR dude for Hamas.

Food Rationing Confronts Breadbasket of the World | The New York Sun
Food Rationing Confronts Breadbasket of the World The New York Sun: "Major retailers in New York, in areas of New England, and on the West Coast are limiting purchases of flour, rice, and cooking oil as demand outstrips supply. There are also anecdotal reports that some consumers are hoarding grain stocks.
At a Costco Warehouse in Mountain View, Calif., yesterday, shoppers grew frustrated and occasionally uttered expletives as they searched in vain for the large sacks of rice they usually buy.
“Where’s the rice?” an engineer from Palo Alto, Calif., Yajun Liu, said. “You should be able to buy something like rice."

The Calgary Sun - Wrong approach
The Calgary Sun - Wrong approach: "We have more homeless folks than the Greater Vancouver Area. The GVA is home to more than two million people (485,000 of whom are wearing Birkenstocks and reeking of patchouli oil this very minute) and it has roughly 2,600 homeless folks.
Calgary, with a population half that, had 3,500 homeless in 2006 and Ald. John Mar told the Sun he expects the count is now in the 4,500 range."

Violent Weekend Continues: 32 Shot, 6 Dead: "A violent and deadly weekend continues in Chicago. At least 12 people have been shot, two of them killed, since Saturday morning. This comes after at least 20 people were shot, four of them killed, from Friday night through early Saturday."
Well now.
The violence increases every week.
There is no possibility of political reconciliation between the single party city government and the gangs and political opposition.
Isn't it time we seriously considered pulling out of Chicago?

District to discuss cuts to child care program
District to discuss cuts to child care program
"A Mona Shores child care program that has operated over budget for the fourth straight year, and cutting costs will be topics of discussion during the Mona Shores Board of Education's meeting Monday.
School officials said budget changes must be made to the Mona Shores Community Childcare program, because the current method of doing business isn't working.
Last year, it ended with a $43,193 deficit, and so far this year, that number is at $35,682, according to the district. Revenues as of January were $335,043 and expenditures were $370,725."
Why the heck does Mona Shores even have a day care program?
And one that spends $370,000/year?
Where is the money going?
How many programs of this idiocy do we have county wide?

Desperate home sellers turning to St. Joseph
Desperate home sellers turning to St. Joseph
"Hicks was chuckling to hear that the measure she recently took to help sell her house -- burying a statue of St. Joseph upside down in the front yard -- is a growing trend as sellers try to offset hopelessness invading housing markets across the nation."
If I read this article correctly, owners of homes that are so overpriced that there are no buyers are expecting St. Joseph-in-the-yard to bring in buyers.
Buyers who will pay more than market price for the topsy-turvey-StJo home?
Would it be safe to assume that the overpayers aren't catholic?
