PTC Avenger: The Hypocrisy of the Gay CommunityRemember the guy named Matthew Shepard who was murdered in Wyoming? For weeks, ney, months, we heard about how this poor guy was brutally murdered by two evil straight guys. Nitpickers: Eight point buck and mateOn Thanksgiving day, in a narrow thicket behind my home, we saw an eight point buck and his mate who seemed to be delaying their journey for some reason. They nibbled a little, the lay down some and rested, and nothing seemed to disturb them---comes with age I suppose. Nitpickers: Stage Coach robberies on GA-85 and 74/54!Might I suggest that the townfolks git together and send fer a marshall to tend to thu coach robberies happening tween here and Clayton City? Nitpickers: A TARP problem!It seems now that if anything or anybody has a TARP problem, there is a new law to help you. So many of the entities who have been robbing us blind for so long got into so much financial trouble that it was necessary not only to bail them out, bur also at least some of the peons. carbonunit52: *Fred Garvin: The Teflon President-ElectFred Garvin: Barack Obama Springs A LeakBarack Obama discovers a leak under his sink, so he calls Joe the Plumber to come and fix it. Joe drives to Obama’s house, which is located in a very nice neighborhood and where it’s clear that all the residents make more than $250,000 per year. Joe arrives and takes his tools into the house. Joe is led to the room that contains the leaky pipe under a sink. Joe assesses the problem and tells Obama, who is standing near the door, that it's an easy repair that will take less than 10 minutes. JeffC: Civics TestKathleen Parker has an interesting article about the findings of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute which gave a civics quiz to 2500 people and found that people were to ignorant to vote. Bonkers: "God bless you Daddy!"During the 1957, Little Rock, Arkansas problems with integrating the high school there, Louis Armstrong, a genius trumpet player with a suspicious fifth grade black education, got so upset at watching the treatment of the black girls and boys trying to attend the high school, that he "blew-up" in an interview with a cub reporter for the local paper. He was so emotional (knowing what he had been through all of his life)that he called the Governor some really bad names, and said that the President (Eisenhower) basically had no interest, since he had just seen the governor shortly before he ordered the police to run the blacks off. bad_ptc: Caribou Barbie coming to Georgia to help ChamblissIsn’t that like the 1st Officer of the Titanic hawking for Carnival Cruse Lines? I thought Chambliss wanted to win. HankyPanky: Who’s In Charge of the US Government?Bush or Obama? The current Treasury Sec. or Obama’s Treasury Appointee? The financial system is in collapse. Treas. Sec. Paulson has a news conference everyday on the economic plans of the Bush Adm. Then Obama has a news conference announcing new and opposite economic plans. This causes the stock market to go haywire, up- down, up-down. Investors don’t know whether to buy , sell or hold. This lack of who’s in charge is unprecedented. Obama doesn’t take office until January 20, ‘09. Either Bush should take control and tell Obama to stop influencing the market, or congress should pass an emergency measure, changing the date for a Pres. Elect to take office immediately cancelling the Bush Adm. We must have one economic plan right or wrong to stop all this volatility. People’s pension funds, IRA’s and investments are in great jeopardy.

DarthDubious: Billions for Bankers--Debts for the People Part 3: Bankers' Depression of the 1930'sIn 1930 America did not lack industrial capacity, fertile farmlands, skilled and willing workers or industrious families. It had an extensive and efficient transportation system in railroads, road networks, and inland and ocean waterways. Communications between regions and localities were the best in the world, utilizing telephone, teletype, radio, and a well operated government mail system. The Wedge: The Presidency and "Jobs Creation"It is my personal opinion that Presidents have very little to do with jobs creation in the private sector. They are given way too much credit or blame depending upon the economic situation. I am well aware of how government can add jobs by adding to the bureaucracy. However, more government jobs have never historically added to the wealth of a particular country-- unless those jobs are that of conquering soldiers. Fred Garvin: Gradeschool named after ObamaI've re-named one of the pigs on our farm "Barack", and one of the cows has been renamed "Michelle" Barack Obama Elementary will be the new name of Ludlum Elementary Bonkers: Trillions for Banks!!Just how long will our citizens, many of whom are down 30-40% in their savings due to banks, primarily, going to allow this administration to save their buddies on Wall Street at our expense? muddle: SPAMALOT!So we're walking along Tremont Street on the way to Cheers, and we pass these parked semis with "Spamalot" painted on the trailers. Turns out that tonight is the last performance in Boston. Also turns out that we have a pair of good tickets. remedyband: The Remedy Band - New Year's Eve at The Score Sports Bar in Newnan, GAFayetteville, Georgia's Remedy Band will be performing at a New Year's Eve party at The Score Sports Bar in Newnan Georgia on December 31, 2008 at 9 PM. Nitpickers: All Hat & NO Cattle!I think Lyndon Johnson once used that term to describe people whom he thought were easy to manipulate due to the fact that they had little assets but acted as if they did! BOLO: A sign of the developer community losing its edge?Bonkers: "Too Big To Fail?"Another "To big to fail" financial operation, Citigroup. 1bighammer: How OBAMA Got ElectedThe voters in this video appear to be from one Polling place. Imagine how many JUST LIKE THEM voted all over the country. Bonkers: The Auto company loans?Why is one fact being hidden, or is it? Assuming we did give the auto companies more money to operate, just how would they then SELL these cars they would make? DarthDubious: Billions for Bankers--Debts for the People Part 2: The Real Story of Money Control in AmericaAmericans, living in what is called the richest nation on earth, seem always to be short of money. It's impossible for many families to make ends meet unless both parents are in the work force. Cyclist: .....Wulfman's Wish.....All, Cal has graciously allowed us to place an envelope at the office of The Citizen. The envelope is titled "Wulfman's Wish" and is at the front office. I will collect this envelope on Dec 5 at 5:30P. Git Real: Same Ole Washington InsidersSo much for Change. Our president elect is filling his round table with the same ole recycled Washington insider hacks that helped put us in the predicaments we're in now. Nothing new with his selections and no change. Just corrupt Washington as usual. Oh well..... mim4u07: THE FUZED NUT PRODUCTIONFUZION DANCE COMPANY presents THE FUZED NUT!
