Why is it that only business owners and CEOs are considered among the "filthy rich?" What about Oprah? Isn't she one of the richest women in the world? What about all the sports stars, Judge Judy, Judge Joe Brown, movie stars and even the politicians themselves? They are all "filthy rich", too. Are they to be allowed to keep their money?
Does everyone like me think that this president is trying to make our country fail? He does not want to work with anybody. It's either his way or the highway, and I think he is not trying to make our country what it should be. I think that is one big shame.
I noticed Obama keeps talking about how he needs more money to create jobs. Do you know that for every government job Obama creates there's another 75 people going on food stamps?
Why do most business assume everyone has a computer or a phone to scan codes. Even the paper assumes everyone has a computer or something to read these things. I don't understand it. I wish they'd consider people who can't afford one.
I'm calling about the new lighting on the new Broadway, the $4.3 million improvement. Whoever designed the lighting should go back to school. It's so dark on the new promenade I wouldn't want to walk by at night. It needs different lighting. If it had the same kind of lighting on Main Street, that would have been better.
I think President Obama needs to redefine what rich is. I would say $350,000 and over. I would encourage anyone to call the president to tell him this. Our family makes around $250,000 and the thing is, we don't consider ourselves rich either. I don't think Obama takes college and handicapped children into account.
As a taxpayer in Alexander County, Ill., I am furious we have not received our tax bills for the 2011 year. I don't know how that is possible, especially because the assessor has extra help. What a Christmas when we finally receive our bills.
I'd like to ask some questions about the public defenders. Do they have to take a case whether the guy is guilty or not? Do they have to defend the person? How do they defend a person when they know he is guilty?
I just read about Emerson leaving her office. She was elected by the people to serve for two years. She should be obligated to hold that office instead of taking another job. Has she given back her campaign funds yet? I think something needs to be done.
Comments
I agree Broadway is too Dark , Come on Cape you spent the money!! Would you let someone alone walk on Broadway at night i don't think so Brighten it up !! Hey Mayor Get Rid of the Lights and Put New ones in People Won't come
Leaving office
You are right on top of the news I see. Are you also aware that Truman beat Dewey?
No compromising: Both parties are guilty of this. That is why nothing is ever done in Washington.
Computers, QR codes: The businesses are advertising to the ones they think have the money to buy their products.
Broadway lighting: Agree with you and sunnworshiper03, the street is dark and uninviting to not only the citizens of Cape but also all the visitors. Instead of the lights in the middle of the street put them on both sides of the street. If money was the reason of less lighting, why put the paving bricks at the intersections which cause a bumpy ride and are quite expensive.
Leaving office: Why not use Congresswoman Emerson's left over campaign funds to finance the specail election.....she caused it.
I did get my ride on a UFO last night but they returned me because they didn't like the cuntry music cds that I bought along and also my jokes such as "My, what big eyes you have".
Wait until the snow plows go down Broadway. I don't see how they can avoid tearing up those little peninsulas and the red coloring blocks.

I'm having visions about your CDs. Are they audio visual or just audio?
T-4 and counting.

Like in the space program Rick. Time before blastoff! They used T-10 for seconds if I remember correctly. With me it's days.
Regrets,
I invited you to come on down. Told you I would even take you to dinner and buy.
Rick,
I also hope I do not have to abort. If I don't get out of here soon, I am going to lose what little sanity I have left. I have one eye on the weather right now. I will not drive my motor home on slick roads. Not sure I can turn the wheel fast enough if it starts doing donuts.
Rick,
I want to leave here Thursday. How that works out is hard to say at the moment. I want to terrorize Bollinger County on my way through and I need to be in Red Bay AL the 3rd of Jan. That gives me a week to accomplish that. Surely there should be some decent driving time in there somewhere.

Wheels: They were audio CDs, the Greys don't like country music they are into that intergalactic music. Just put some skis under your RV. The girlfriend and I are coming up to St. Louis on Christmas day to pickup #2 daughter who is flying in from Denver. I to have been keeping an eye on the weather. Only thing bad about winter is the cold, snow, cloudy days, and short daylight hours. Other than that winter is OK.

We are having Christmas get together at #2 Daughters. If you get snowed in here, let me know, son-in-law says there is plenty to eat. :-)
It was your spelling that made me ask the CD question. ;-)
Count away, Rick....I am ready! ☻
Public defenders
I'd like to ask some questions about the public defenders.
Do they have to take a case whether the guy is guilty or not? Yes
Do they have to defend the person? Yes
How do they defend a person when they know he is guilty? Read this:http://www.ethicsscoreboard.com/list/defense.html
Merry Christmas to All.
Wheels: Where did my good friend Howdy go I see where he has not been on here for some time?
Swamp,
I think Howdy lost a "Debate" with Dug and kind of just evaporated. If he is posting it is under one of the new names on here I suppose.
Swamp, a sincere wish for a very Merry Christmas to you and yours.

A Merry Christmas to you and your Girlfriend. I hope you manage the trip to St. Louis and back to pick up your daughter safely and ahead of the snow which they now say is due to start tomorrow evening and which could dump a considerable amount of snow between here and your location.
I hope to leave here Thursday, guess I will wait and see what the weather is by then. If it isn't too bad we want to go over and terrorize Bollinger County before heading farther south about the 1st.
Same to you Wheels and your family. Merry Christmas
Wheels: Have a safe trip, we should be able to go South for the winter next year....til then it's just the little mini-trips.
Rick: Just curious, what days/things do the Native Americans celebrate during the year.
Rick: Nothing so far....waiting to be enlightened.
Wheels: Have a safe trip, we should be able to go South for the winter next year....til then it's just the little mini-trips.

I enjoy the extended getaways, and I think you would also.
I think Howdy was used when they needed more liberals to comment.
Howdy is still around. I read the posts on ocassion. I don't actually see any point to continuously comment on all the right wing nut jobs' comments.
I don't think anyone's mind has ever been changed one iota on these threads. People know where I stand. What's the use in making the same responses to the insane comments you nuts make?
Mission accomplished:
Obama re-elected, enough said.
PS: Wheels, if my math is correct you will be 87 years old by the time Hillary gets through her second term. By then there will not be a republican party.
Howdy,
Merry Christmas to you too.
Hilary.... haven't you heard, she has fell ill and has memory loss therefore cannot testify on her job performance, or lack thereof? Doubt that she is in physical condition after her Immaculate Concussion to run for President.
