For the year of 2009, 1 percent of the United States income was $28.8 billion to foreign countries. Cut that by two-thirds, fix our deficit, don't cut Medicare and Medicaid.
It seems reasonable that someone at the university or the highway patrol should apply for a million-dollar grant to study why so many signal lights are broken in this part of the country. By my own estimation at least 50 to 60 percent are inoperative. I'm sure this must be accurate because I refuse to believe that I'm out there on the road with that many ignorant drivers.
This is to the couple of city workers in Jackson around the park. My husband fell there, and two city workers immediately rushed over to him and got him assistance. And we wanted to be sure to say that the Jackson city workers are really efficient. Thank you so much.
About the U.S. Postal Service. Everybody sees the changes going on: the carriers getting later starts, little post offices hours are changing where there's less time to get in and do business. People should be upset. All of these decisions are getting made from the higher up. People need to call their senators and congressmen; these changes are coming from above, and they're not good changes. People need to stand up and have a voice and start contacting these people.
The typical U.S. household saw its income fall last year to 1989 levels. That news, contained in a U.S. Census Bureau survey released Wednesday, points to difficult questions of how the U.S. can get back on a track of job growth and rising prosperity. Median incomes fell 1.5 percent in 2011, while the official poverty rate remained essentially unchanged at 15 percent. Bush's tax cuts are why. The gap is getting so big between the wealthy and middle class it is getting plumb scary. All because of Bush's tax cuts and Republican-controlled House that won't do one thing to help America.
I just got back from seeing the movie "2016". Every voting resident should see it. The sad thing is those who need to see it most never.
Sadly, Mitt Romney and his neoconservative cronies want you to believe the attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Libya by a small group of apparent al-Qaida terrorists represent the sentiments of the Libyan people themselves. They do not. However, Romney and his foreign policy advisers (ex-Bush advisers) are so anxious to regain power that they will say anything to further their agenda of resuming various and sundry wars around the world so as to try to spread, not necessarily political freedom, but completely unrestrained and unregulated free market capitalism.
It would be nice if people would stop walking on the roads when there is a sidewalk available to use. A lot of money was spent to build the sidewalks to make it safe for walkers. Why aren't you walkers wanting to be safer if there's a sidewalk?
Obama, Bernanke
Thanks to President Obama and Fed chairman Ben Bernanke for helping boost the confidence on Wall Street to the point that I have recovered and surpassed all of the 401(k) retirement money I lost as a result of the Bush recession.

Use sidewalks, Police need to start issuing tickets. If I'm not mistaken, it is also against the law to walk in the streets when there is not a sidewalk available.
I am going with Tiger although I would bet some could counter that it would be Lion.
Did Motte blow another one?
When Rick Horton and Dan McLaughlin are gone I will be able to enjoy watching the games. These two guys are the most inept,irritating broadcasters I have ever listened to. Watched two innings last night while they were off on some tangent about Chris Carpenter and they only referred to the game action twice. Oh for the days of Jack Buck and a drunk Mike Shannon having "an ice cold Busch beer".
The Bengal Tiger is the largest member of the cat family with the African Lion coming in second. Here's one most people miss though. What is the third largest member of the cat family?
Movie 2016: Yes, if you are in to the same type of Josef Goebbels propaganda flick used so effectively by the Nazis, by all means go see it. The Dems did a similar hatchet job on Bush last election cycle, and it worked no better than this attempt a out doing the Nazis. It is pure puke.

Rick: Made the mistake of watching the last 4 innings of the game last night....like the George Strait song says "Just give it away". Both LA and St. Louis are tied for the wild card spot.
Printing more money oh yes that will cure everything, but at the end of the 36 months what do we do at that point? keep kicking the old can down the road sooner or later the road becomes a dead end.
Cut foreign aid: See what our years of foreign aid has gotten us.
Red lights: Amen. Also speeding and inproper use of lanes are big problems.
Postal changes: Start by calling your local Postmaster to complain and then go higher if need be.
More on income: The recession caused the income drop and not the tax cuts. Bad loans in the Housing market and other wild loans started it.
2016 movie: Save your money and donate it to charity.
Obama, Bernanke: Better make changes fast to your 401K before the corrections are made to the market.
Broad brush: The winds of war are blowing, those who ignore history will repeat it.
Use sidewalks: Too many cars are using the sidewalks for turning lanes.
Today's "NO GOOGLE" Question : Which animal is the largest member of the cat family? The Missouri Tigers.

dab1969: What about the Harry Caray days?
Line them out semo471 some times it is like talking to a concrete wall.
Some of the sidewalks in Cape are unusable. Vehicles blocking them, tree branches so low you have to duck, trash cans, etc. And we won't even get into how they aren't maintained in neighborhoods. I had to quit running at night because of the cracks and uneven concrete. I fell and hurt my wrists a few different times..
The city council will probably make some important decisions at the Oct1. meeting. Please coninue to urge them to vote to resend this ill planned and unreasonable ordinance.
What is the third largest member of the cat family?

That is a new one on my wrinkle , I am clueless .

I'll give you a clue that might help. It's not native to either Africa or Asia.
..uuh , Mountain Lion ??

Getting closer. The American Cougar is the fourth largest cat in the world. Think further south. It's also thought by many to be the member of the cat family responsible for more attacks on humans than any other. Many attacks go unreported because of the remote areas in which it lives.
Where is the coverage of the Cape Central Tigers? I have looked everywhere for the story of the last game. Jackson is all over the sports page and I would think the hometown paper would support the Tigers!!

That's it!
Had some errands( about 77 of them,golf). Why do they call it golf? All the other four letter words were taken.
Harry Carey? Wasn't he that cartoon figure shipped off to Chicago with Augie Busch's wife's panties in his pocket?
It's still Jack Buck's voice that will forever be the Cardinals.
The fifth biggest cat is the one draped over the arm of my couch right now.
St. Louis Rams finally wins a game 31 to 28 for Washington. Now if the Cardinals can win in extra innings.
"Had some errands( about 77 of them,golf)."
Dab,
What did you shoot on the 2nd hole??
Sorry but I couldn't help it. The devil made me do it! :-)
Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft.. Today, it's called golf.
What do you know, the Cardinals finally win one in extra innings. Now one game ahead of LA in the wild card race.
NEVER keep score till the fourth hole.
Dab,
Sounds like you are the kind of golfer I wouldn't want to play with. I never play with guys that can beat me too badly... and I suspect the way it sounds, you would. :-)
