Don’t get mad but after I posted this I looked into it a little more. From what I can gather on the internet this company was started in the 70’s and very small. They seemed to do wonderful things for the people in this country but as time went on corruption seemed to sink in. Things like they didn’...

This video, which will be widely distrib...

So I watched the youtube about the media. My take on is this, I have noticed that different outlets, or stations, or newspapers, or whatever seem to be on one side of the isle or the other. I have noticed that they will air more people from side speaking than the other, or cut off someone when they ...

I thought this was interesting “Bailout in economics and finance is a term used to describe a situation where a bankrupt or nearly bankrupt entity, such as a corporation or a bank, is given a fresh injection of liquidity, in order to meet its short term obligations. Often bailouts are by governments...

Okay Jake my question is… 1. Will these bigger banks than create a kind of monopoly in the banking world? With the ability to set new standards. 2. Should we, as Americans, feel secure knowing these banks needed bailed out? I am referring to your statement “while adding confidence to the general con...

Okay Merge! I read it. I still think the best thing to do is these companies sink or swim on their own. I think the company should go bankrupt paying off the dept and then continue to pay on it for years. I believe a bail out will speak volumes for the future. Yes they might regulate it but regulat...

I do not appreciate a personal attach on me as a person. I have in-fact done very well for myself. I have worked since the age of 15. Not that any of that is your business. It does surprise me that you felt the need to go there. It is a fact that in the US 5% of the population owns nearly 60% of the...

I wish I could say I don't blame the rich, but I do. They do not all work to get there. In fact more than %50 of the rich are handed that life style one way or another. A flat tax for all? That amazes me to hear someone say. If you can give more you should. This country is in bad shape and if an Ame...

I wanted to point out that if/when the Steelers make it to the Super bowl this year I do not care who questions how they got there, or if it had anything to do with Brady’s injury. I will be eating wings, drinking beer and celebrating. There are a few other teams they will have to beat to get there….

I didn’t wish an injury on Brady but my first thought was yessss. I don’t know how much that hurt and I don’t care. He signed up for the chance to get hurt when he became an NFL player. I also had nothing to do with the injury so I feel no guilt. I just love the thought of the Steelers going all the...

I remember going to the a few Q-Fests when I was a kid with my older brothers…great memories (I don’t know any of the bands). I was also at the Q-fest at Lakemont Park. These were some of the best times I can remember. Now I love the bands at runs like the Jeffy Showalter and others. I love the band...

I don’t think people look into what they are sponsoring. It just sounds good. I applauded you for taking the time to look into the politics behind the Humane Society. I personally will not have anything to do with the Jaffa now. I learned a lot about the politics in that place and I didn’t like what...

Just in case anyone missed it, yesterday was the trial. We lost on a technicality. The judge saw none of our evidence and heard very little testimony. Although we feel like we have been kicked around and beat-up today, Roar in the Mountains will be fine. We have the support of some kickass people he...

Sheetz marketing is brilliant. I remember a few ads that caused a stir with soccer moms and momma boys everywhere. The meatball adds “grab lunch by the meatballs”. Also the coffee beans romancing each other. Then there was the preacher promoting the touch screens. They love every bitchen, wining, pa...
