wildcat: Fayette Fiddlers

Does anybody know of a group of fiddle players in the county? That are, maybe, called The Fayette Fiddlers? I did a search but it yielded only a violin and parts store in PTC.

Bonkers: What is a "long" birth certificate?

I actually have a copy of Obama's Hawaiian birth certificate. His Mama was US American and his Dad was African.
I don't know how it compares in length with a long one but all of the info that might be needed seems to be there.

Beleive me I have spoke with several of the new people running for city post. I have the utmost trust that if they get in office something's will be uncovered.

PreciousStahr: Re-Elect Grace Caldwell

BASED ON WHAT?

Ms. Caldwell’s campaign literature states “We have made many significant positive changes” in the past 4 years. What does she mean by “WE”? Does that mean Ms. Caldwell along with others like Barry Amos, Mike Smola, & Sheryl Lee made positive changes like running off many businesses, passing bad zoning ordinances, sticking the town with $650,000 for a library. Doesn’t a candidate normally cite what they did rather than group themselves with the works of others? So, Ms. Caldwell, tell us what you did. We know what all those other people did, and it’s not anything to write home about.

S. Lindsey: Sarah Palin and Death Panels

Looks like Sarah was closer to the truth then you thought..

On September 26, 2007, Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor under Bill Clinton and current Obama adviser, was being something that the Democrats today are not brave enough to be -- HONEST.

The G-20 police response in Pittsburgh was a beta test. “We spent months getting ready for this and it was a lot of preparation, but we’ll see the dividends of that for a long time to come,” Public Safety Director Michael Huss told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

Mike King: Don Haddix Is Needed Now

Mike King's picture

Nearly four years ago I was persuaded by friends and colleagues alike to get behind the band wagon to elect our current mayor. A decision that still haunts me to this day, although I cannot, in good faith, say that his opponent would have fared better.

Shammed again: Signs

Signs...well as we have seen around town Grace's signs are going up and Ken Matthews' are disappearing. When you do see a Ken Matthews' sign it is surrounded by two Grace signs. Hmmm... I wonder if she is worried that people will remember that Grace is not so "Graceful". Have you ever witnessed her showing her true colors? What I mean is the way she talks to the citizens of Tyrone? She is very demeaning and talks down to the citizens as if they were nothing. Just remember Grace the citizens are the ones who can vote you out of office. Hopefully, all the citizens that have been disrespected by Grace over the past four years will remember that during this election. The citizens need to be respected even when there is not an election.Grace tends to forget about respect during these off times.

Shammed again: With Grace.. "Another One Bites The Dust!"

“New Library providing education capabilities with professional staff.”
• Ms. Caldwell allowed the Town’s full-time library personnel voluntarily reduce their hours in order that the Head Librarian, Julie Digby, would not be fired. Ref. February 5, 2009 Town Minutes

The Wedge: Economic Tradeoffs--Where do we need to head?

The Wedge's picture

Over the past 30 years, the United States has made it a national policy to hold inflation down. We have achieved it through foreign labor and cheaper materials. We, the consumers, have demanded it. We, the investors, demanded it from our publically traded companies. For years it worked. The amount of consumer goods available for the average American would boggle the mind of someone transported from 1970. Today’s home has a panoply of gadgets, even a house below the poverty level. How do most houses afford these gadgets? They have been made inexpensive and available by being sourced overseas in a cheaper labor market. The cost of this free and easy access to consumer goods and cheaper prices has come with a tradeoff, however. That trade off is the dismantling of manufacturing in the United States. Now, the landscape is changing.

What is the difference between dog food and cat food? I ran out of cat food today and I was to lazy to get more. Guess what, the cat was just as happy with the dog food.

S. Lindsey: What happened to global warming?

"This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that fact that the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998.

allegedteacher: Just say NO to Special Olympics

I just received a call from Special Olympics soliciting money; in the past, I have made some small donations. I listened patiently to the seemingly nice person, then proceeded to tell her I could not donate because of a recent pay cut...she HUNG UP on me in mid-sentence.

TJAM: No Grace NO!

The citizens of Tyrone have a decision to make. Four years ago Grace Caldwell was elected to the Tyrone Town Council after waging a campaign of misinformation, half-truths, and outright fabrications. Grace Caldwell promised: "strategic planning and thoughtful decisions with citizen input" (Citizen 11/01/05); "Enforce the land use plan", "Balance the growth of Tyrone", and "insure the citizens have input on important issues" (Citizen 10/18/05); "We’ve got to have a traffic plan", and "We need a planner to help our staff"(Citizen 11/14/05). The major rallying cry of Grace’s 2005 election campaign was "Save Shamrock Park". She promised the citizens that if elected Shamrock Park would be a priority for improvements. For two years Grace kept up this rallying cry claiming that although she wanted to make improvements to Shamrock Park she was being blocked by the Mayor and other two council members. In 2007 the voters of Tyrone gave Grace what she wanted and elected the majority of the candidates Grace backed to the position of Mayor and Council member (a 4-1 majority).

Bonkers: Boutros Boutros Ghali

Ever since the Egyptian Christian Arab Ghali was appointed head of the UN in the 90s, many in the USA have been skeptical of anyone in power anywhere who isn't Anglo-Saxon, or at least Nordic or appear to be either one.

Hello, citizens!

Please allow me to introduce myself to those of you that haven't read my previous comments, and re-introduce myself to those who have.

Ken N.: Obama should have supplied all up front

I am not for or against Obama. What I would like is for him to supply the same documents that all past presidents and candidates had to produce. McCain proff of birth,military records,tax returns,medical records etc. Palin had to even produce medical records for the birth of her last child. Correct me if i am wrong.When Obama was asked for a birth certificate he posted something on his web site,and people in Hawaii verify they saw it but it was not released, When asked for his medical records he submitted a 1 page letter from a doctor stating he was in good health, he froze all his school records.

I have always said I will give credit where credit is due.. Obama is tackling a group which have been Terrorizing us for Decades. No administration has had the testicular fortitude to confront these “people” but I have to say GOBAMA…

Shammed again: Are we being Dis "graced" in Tyrone?

I received a promotion in my mailbox for Grace Caldwell (which by the way, Grace, is a Federal Offense)and a list of pseudo facts of "Positive Changes" that she is taking credit for. So I did some research and went through old Town of Tyrone Council Minutes and found some very interesting facts! I thought I would just point them out so the Tyrone Citizens can have the TRUTH about Grace Caldwell. It's amazing all the things she voted "NO" on that she is NOW taking credit for!

S. Lindsey: Dems in Congress gives ACORN another MILLION

S. Lindsey's picture

I thought they defunded ACORN.. Well not really.
That is just what they want you to think.. Actually they are using other Departments to fund them.. Congress (Democrats) gave the Department of Homeland Security a Million Dollars for Firefighters.. DHS turned around and gave the Money to ACORN at Congress’s direction..
