The economy would be my biggest concern. What to do about it will no doubt cause a firestorm of comments. Second concern is the political direction of this country. What to do about it will also no doubt cause a firestorm of comments. Third I think I would have to agree with Redbarron77.

:lol:

Missed this thread the first time around. The public has an attention span of a gnat. Yep people are pretty stupid. Here is some more stupid people doing the politically correct thing... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi3erdgVVTw

Perspective Dave, The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts. No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving. ~H.U. Westermayer Today you have heat, food, football, friends, a roof over your head and it's Thanksgiving Day. On Thanksgiving Day, all over America, families sit down to dinner at the same moment - halftime. ~Author Unknown

One of the more unique brands of beer has been Pittsburgh Brewing’s Olde Frothingslosh. It was invented as a joke by Pittsburgh radio station KDKA’s Rege Cordic in the early 1950s. The local brewer picked up the idea as a humorous Christmastime promotion and “the pale stale ale” ended up as the inspiration for about 30 different beer cans, most created specifically for collectors. Rege Cordic’s most lasting contribution to humor, and incidentally, to beer can collecting, was Olde Frothingslosh. He invented commercials for the beer he called “the Pale Stale Ale--so light the foam is on the bottom.” Supposedly brewed by Sir Reginald Frothingslosh IV at Upper-Crudney-On-The-Thames it was advertised with slogans such as “a whale of an ale for the pale stale male.” The commercials were so popular that in 1954 Pittsburgh Brewing Company bought the rights to bottle it and packaged 500 cases to give to customers at Christmas. Inside the bottles, of courses, was the normal Pittsburgh Brewing Company beer. This proved so popular that Pittsburgh Brewing bottled more cases for Christmas 1955 and also issued a quarter million 8 oz cans of Sir Lady Frothingslosh (#242-16 in the USBC, the BCCA’s new guide to beer cans) containing Pittsburgh Brewing’s Tech brand beer. In 1974 Miss Olde Frothingslosh came back with a vengeance. The Olde Frothingslosh cans with Fatima Yechbergh were reissued in four different colors, including the original brown in addition to blue, orange and red. This depressed the value of the 1968 version (but NOT of the 1955 Sir Lady cans!) but elated many beer can collectors who began snapping up the cans for their shelves. In 1975 the can was issued in purple, yellow and silver, followed by a white can in 1976. Pittsburgh Brewing continued issuing a profusion of other Olde Frothingslosh cans over the next decade

"We were hired by the store to be this goofy and get others to follow us" Cue the news crew...... and TV news is born!

Use the pan that the "Jiffy Pop" came in as a frying pan the next morning. Toast = bread on a stick over the fire.

Sounds like an inspired plan. I like it!Moose food... Yum....

It was snowing over here. I'm not scared of the cold but I do fear ice on the roads. Slush tracks leading to a sudden lane change DO qualify as ice.

I had a similar problem. After a few service calls it was determined that the underground cable was faulty. Does it get worse in the rain, etc? I've had WOW for a few years, no troubles with them to report. Not in your area though... No, I don't have the turbo level of service, just the standard, ordinary, run of the mill service.

I've used many of the brands mentioned above. For the most part the differences between them are minor. For WiFi I also recommend getting something "N" capable as that also usually gets you a couple of other nice to have features. Even if you don't use the extra features and it only adds a couple of bucks to the price. Here's a link to some of the better prices out there, enjoy. http://www.pricewatch.com/networking/

You just barely made it. The Obama brigade has found this thread.

Something about let God judge him, you know how is about that wrath thing.

Happy Happy!!

Sci-fi WOOT!

Happy B-day!

Asked and answered. You really just can't help it can you? Political correctness isn't always all that political. One example might be the fear of guns getting 1st graders suspended for have little green army men. Not very political but still falls under the heading. These stories hit the news every now and again. Sometime it's tough trying to figure out what people were thinking. Other times it's pretty obvious. Religion in schools is another. Why should one have perks another does not. Then again there is that pesky endorsement of religion by the state thing. Flags appear to be another hot button topic. Remember the uproar over the "Don't tread on me" flag? I'm thinking that the pendulum of popular public opinion is starting to swing the other way, away from the liberals as a group and democrats in particular. Interesting watching what is a story these days. I'll bet it gets weirder the closer we get to the next election. The update section was part of the article I grabbed. Should have edited it, but being lazy I just grabbed the whole thing. On the other hand: Wasn't the original outcome. Somebody is doing the CYA dance which I suspect isn't that un-common in academia if you look at the number of lawsuits hitting schools these days.

I'm thinking its more of the people being feed up with political correctness. USA wrong every time is no way to live for us or them. (Whoever they might be) ARRGH!! Even I'm doing it!!!

http://www.fox40.com/videobeta/1ece9d19-68c9-48e3-8ecb-3894f4a8f6ca/News/Kid-Told-to-Remove-Flag-from-Bike (KTXL)- School officials at Denair Middle School are talking Friday about an incident where they allegedly asked a student to remove his American flag from his bike. Thursday, we tried to speak with Denair Middle School officials but the campus was closed in observance of Veterans Day. Ed Parraz, the Superintendent of the Denair School District told us a school supervisor asked Cody to take down the flag. The supervisor will not be fired or face repercussions. Parraz says the supervisor had information that Cody Alicea’s safety was at risk because of the flag. Some students had complained about it and had apparently made threats. Parraz says they have decided to focus on those students who are causing the problem, not the flag. Cody is now allowed to ride onto school campus with Old Glory on the back. Parraz is aware of the outcry across the nation over this story. He says they embrace the American flag, they are patriotic, but that their main priority is keeping students safe. Update: Amazing it had to come to this. Instead of going after the students who were threatening the boy, they instead chose to force him to take his flag down… Local bikers respond: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6U2hB-Pz4zs&feature=player_embedded

Now somebody else does the grunt work. But the idea is the same, your off loading the "work" to a remote server or servers. The term "Cloud Computing" is more accurately a sales term than a technical one and until very recently was one step away from "Vapor ware". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgWUi-ozMAU

Sad, but the constitution is a living document to be interpreted by anyone to say or not say anything they want it to say, right?

Don't forget Citrix, Thin Client, Remote Servers and any other of the dozen or so sales phrases they have used over the last 20 years to describe the same idea. Remember dumb terminals, smart terminals?

ABC News Joins Obama... Kinda says it all. Nothing to see here, move along, move along. Soon it will politically in-correct to admit there ever was a USA.

for "Redeadification".

I'm ok with it. Especially when compared to Verizons price tag.
