Bonkers: The Four Amigos

Barack, Joe, John, and Sarah, choices,
All we have to face tremendous odds.
Choose your poison by your voices
But remember the only hand sworn isn't Todds.

snapfinger: IHOP Coming to PTC

There is a sign in the window of the former Original Pancake House in PTC that reads "IHOP Coming Soon." Good! Their prices should be much more reasonable than the OPH, plus open more hours.

Fred Garvin: OBAMA TRIED TO STALL GIS' IRAQ WITHDRAWAL

This gives a clear indication as to how Obama would lead. He will say on thing to the American people and do something completely different behind their backs:

I'm glad to be hearing some common sense on this site. Did I hear correctly today that Obama wants 20% of the "bailout" package to go to ACORN? Sounds to me like more of the same...irresponsible lending practices.

This is more of a question than a blog but I have had it with comcast. Today they were supposed to come out and install phone so I would have the complete package.

BLANKLEY: Media covering for Obama

Obama remains unknown
Tony Blankley
Wednesday, September 24, 2008

OP-ED:
The mainstream media have gone over the line and are now straight out propagandists for the Obama campaign. While they have been liberal and blinkered in their worldview for decades, in 2007-08 for the first time, the major media are consciously covering for one candidate for president and consciously knifing the other. This is no longer journalism — it is simply propaganda. (The American left-wing version of the Volkischer Beobachter cannot be far behind.) And as a result, we are less than seven weeks away from possibly electing a president who has not been thoroughly and even half way honestly presented to the country by our watchdogs — the press.

DarthDubious: Read what Cong. Dr. Ron Paul has to say. I know it's long but worth the read. Thank You.

Dear Friends:

The financial meltdown the economists of the Austrian School predicted has arrived.

We are in this crisis because of an excess of artificially created credit at the hands of the Federal Reserve System. The solution being proposed? More artificial credit by the Federal Reserve. No liquidation of bad debt and mal-investment is to be allowed. By doing more of the same, we will only continue and intensify the distortions in our economy - all the capital mis-allocation, all the malinvestment - and prevent the market's attempt to re-establish rational pricing of houses and other assets.

DarthDubious: Time for Legal Notice to be served.

DarthDubious's picture

It is unreasonable to vote for the financial services bail out. The alleged crisis has been in an ever accelerated burn for more than a year yet only now do we have an emergency? Please reject nationalizing institutional losses and the continued privatization of profits. I think a better use of our currency would be to provide immediate foreclosure protection and to allow the banks, finance firms and investment bankers, to utterly fail. What are we saving with this bail out anyway?

God help us, and our country, if parents start abandoning their children because of their financial situation and inability to take care of their families any longer. It is gut wrenching.

Mike King: What If We Tell Wall Street No?

We have a constitutional right to expect a solid separation between church and state, and I propose that we create that separation within the business community. Could it be that those distinguished statesmen/women in Washinton fear the fact that a free enterprise system could possibly still work.

Had It: Ellijay Citizens Angry about their BOE Property Taxes

Everywhere you look citizens are fighting tax increases. “We’re planning to fail” was the cry at the BOE hearing in Gilmer County Sept. 11. These taxpayers are vocal and are trying to force their BOE to cut expenses 35%. The BOE wants a 17% increase. The citizens are down on all tax increase, including Splost, Tan’s & Bonds. In Gilmer County, SPLOST stands for S-ucker P-ayment LOST. I live in Fayette and also own property in Gilmer. It’s an all out tax revolution everywhere. If I know these mountain people and I do, they might find a BOE along the side of a road beaten and bloody. BOE stands for Born On Expenditures. Let’s all go to the new Boston Tea Party and throw Janet Smola in the Bay in November. FILE away spending and elect NICOLE File for BOE Post 1.

Dear Friends,

Whenever a Great Bipartisan Consensus is announced, and a compliant media assures everyone that the wondrous actions of our wise leaders are being taken for our own good, you can know with absolute certainty that disaster is about to strike.

Could not help but notice that Goodwill Industries has decided to move to Fayetteville instead of Peachtree City. Do not get me wrong. I am not an opponent to Goodwill Industries and what they propose to create in Fayetteville. I think that it is probably something good for the county in the long run.

Bonkers: Bush speaks at 9:00 Wednesfay

Why does he run out every 12 hours with another (probably the same) speech?

He is not going to convince many of us that we MUST buy Maybe one, maybe unlimited, trillion dollars worth of bad debts that no one in the world wants!

Nitpickers: Need some helpful info

Do any of you detailed financial experts out there know just how to cash in a large Equity investment one has with AIG. I mean quickly.
