news: PA Primaries are here! - 05/17/10 08:03 AM
Well, it is that time again. For some, it is a time to let their feelings be known and cast their vote for who they would like to see run for office.
For MANY others it is a time to continue complaining and whining and not do anything about it.
For a few others, it is a time of anger and frustration because they can not vote in a primary because they are independent or Libertarian, etc...
It was reported in our local paper this morning that in 2009 only 17% of our local voters voted.
17%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You must be kidding … (3 comments)

news: A special Veterans Day service - 11/16/09 11:06 AM
This one was a little more meaningful to me than the others because my Step Dad Retired MSG William J.(Jim, Pappaw) Starner was among 162 York County Veterans to have their names engraved on the newest Memorial at Prospect Hill Cemetery. It is called the Court of Valor and certain requirements needed to be met to be included. He was added for 2 Bronze Stars in Vietnam.
Here he is being interviewed by a local TV station, WPMT Fox 43. They would have to do a 30 minute documentary to hear all of what he said!!

news: More Nonsense From The PA Government! - 03/13/09 11:39 PM
Looks like after paying $173,820 to Solutions 21, a Pittsburgh-based firm, our state will have more customer friendly sales clerks in our Wine and Spirits stores.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME????
They are government stores! What are people going to do? Go elsewhere to find friendlier clerks to wait on them with better customer service? Give me a BREAK!
What a waste of money! Are you telling me they just couldn't find a better use for that money?
Read the entire story here.
It must be nice to be able to spend money that comes from other people.
Is this just me or does … (9 comments)

news: Get In Line After The Auto Makers For Your Bailout! - 11/12/08 12:32 PM
I can not believe where we seem to be heading in this country financially!
Pelosi is right there in the front of it again. She is URGING the Bush administration to consider things. She wants congress to support ANOTHER financial bail out, this time for the auto industry.
She says, "In order to prevent the failure of one or more of the major American automobile manufacturers ... Congress and the Bush administration must take immediate action,"
The Bush administration is thinking that the auto industry was not included in the last bailout.
"We're in a situation where there's a great unknown about … (21 comments)

news: Assembly To Honor Veterans in York, PA! - 11/06/08 07:55 AM
I just read in our local Community Courier that there will be an assembly to honor veterans.
It will take place at the Christian School of York at 907 Greenbriar Rd. in York. This is the 2nd annual veterans assembly to be held there.
It will be held at 1:00 pm on Tuesday, November 11th to honor veterans and active duty military personnel.
All veterans and their families, active duty and their families and families of those lost in Iraq are invited to attend. It does not say anything about Afghanistan or any other conflicts but I say if you are a veteran … (2 comments)

news: The Latest Hersey Poll Numbers Are Out! McCain Way Ahead! - 10/22/08 12:26 PM
With all this talk about polls all the time, it got me thinking. I have been of voting age since 1989 and I have NEVER been asked who I was planning on voting for and why from any poll company out there.
So, I decided to do my own poll and the results follow...
McCain - 83.33%
Obama - 16.67%
There were a total of 24 people asked who they were going to vote for.
The way I see it, these polls we always hear about do nothing more than make people second guess themselves and make them think … (35 comments)

news: Is the Sky Falling?? - 09/18/08 02:23 PM
I know things don't look good, but please don't panic. Everything runs in cycles. Economies, weather patterns and on and on. We have seen better days and we have seen worse.
I believe the worst thing people can do in situations such as our newest financial mess is to panic and start pulling money out of their accounts. That will only make matters worse!
Believe it or not, it is still a good time to buy. Rates are low and there are tons of homes on the market! Just be smart with your money! Don't take the word of anyone that … (1 comments)

news: A Real AMERICAN Team - 08/12/08 11:23 AM
I could not help but notice that our men's gymnastic team is made up of many national origins. That is what America is all about, isn't it? That is awesome to see!
Kevin Tan.
Alexander(Sasha) Artemev.
Raj Bhavsar.
Also, we have Chris Estrada. I think he got hurt and was not part of the medal winning team.
What a great example to show the world what we are all about! A true melting pot. Maybe we could all learn from them. Do you think they see each other as different races or as AMERICANS? I did not see any of them … (9 comments)

news: Who likes PIZZA? How about when it is delivered to your house? - 07/24/08 11:27 AM
I have noticed a steady increase in the price of pizza from Dominoes lately.
If you ask my wife, I would be considered an expert on the issue! My kids and I could eat pizza regularly and not think twice about it. Her, not so much!
Anyway, they other night I called for some pizza. For a while they had a 5$ each for 3 medium pizzas deal. Now, mediums should be called SMALL anyway, but that is another post. Then they started a new deal, $4 each for 3 small pizzas. That was great, just enough for us! Well, when I … (4 comments)

news: More Wasting Time By Another Politician! - 06/10/08 11:12 PM
As I write this, a House Clerk is reading a resolution by Rep. Kucinich (D.-OH) to impeach President Bush. She started reading at 8:25 PM Eastern. Kucinich already read it yesterday(Monday) and it took him almost 5 hours! I hope this girl is up for another hour and a half of this. I wonder if she is paid by the hour. It looks like a vote may take place tomorrow.
So, of those who will be voting, have they read this, all but 5 hour, resolution or did they listen to Kucinich or this House Clerk read it? The amount of … (31 comments)

Hartford, Connecticut
Man get's hit by a car that appears to be chasing after another car and nobody seems to care!!
Is this the best we have to offer these days? Does anyone care about people in need?
Maybe you saw this video, maybe not. I would love to know what these people were thinking, who witnessed it and did not even go out and make sure no one else hit him while he was lying on the street.
You watch and let me know what you think!

news: How the Libertarian Party can win! - 05/17/08 07:40 PM
Recently I heard about a group of women some million strong who say if Hillary does not get the nomination they will really mess things up in November.
Then I am hearing about all the conservatives that do not plan on voting for McCain.
So, if all these unhappy voters decide to really rock the boat and vote for the Libertarian candidate it could be a decent number. Who knows if it would be enough to win but wouldn't that certainly send a message?
I, for one, would love to help send a message. This whole two party system has gotten … (14 comments)

news: Another video for you to think about... - 04/13/08 10:42 PM
I can't seem to wrap my mind around the fact that people still follow these liars right to the polls and vote them in. How do you say something one time and then do a complete 180 and basically deny that you ever said it or thought it or whatever? It is a character issue and someone with this level of integrity can not be trusted. I would not trust them with much of anything and then they want to run the country! Open your eyes and see people!!
Please watch this short video and see for yourselves. Pass it on if … (4 comments)

news: The Rich Need To Pay More Taxes!! - 04/12/08 09:38 AM
You may have seen this article in Fortune Magazine or online at CNNMoney.com. It is right on! Especially around the times of elections we hear about the poor being taxed unfairly and the rich need to pay more. Well...
Basically the important parts of the article follow...
In 2005, the BOTTOM 40% of Americans by INCOME had an effective tax rate that is negative. Meaning their households received more money through the tax system, than they paid! (Earned Income Tax Credit)
Of those who FILED returns, just half accounted for 97% of the total tax revenue. The top 10% of taxpayers payed in 70% … (10 comments)

I love how a select few can lie and no one seems to care. People must remember when they are being recorded, they need to speak the truth. It will come out! These are not slips of the tongue or whatever they wish they can call it. They are now telling lies, plain and simple!
Please watch and enjoy and then pass on to as many people as possible so the truth gets out. Thanks!

news: Remembering my time in the Military... - 03/27/08 11:09 AM
I remember during the first gulf war, actually when it started it was called Dessert Shield. It then became Dessert Storm I think.
Anyway, when Iraq invaded Kuwait, we were put on 12 hour shifts instantly. I actually was working 3 to 11 and just got in bed around 12 or 1 and I had a knock on the door and was told I had to go back to work until 3 am. So, I got dressed and went back in and did basically nothing until I could go back to my room and get to sleep. Then the next day we … (8 comments)

news: Number of troop deaths in Iraq! - 03/22/08 09:45 AM
1st, I would like to say I am sorry if I offend anyone with this post.
I have been hearing a lot of news lately about the number of deaths in Iraq getting close to 4,000. I love how the news makes it sound. "And today another 3 soldiers died in Irag..." Why don't we hear the daily totals of deaths here in America that are totally senseless.
How about this one from USA Today...The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released data showing there were 13,470 deaths in 2006 involving drivers and motorcycle operators with blood alcohol levels of .08 or higher, which … (15 comments)

news: This Dad is a great example!! - 03/19/08 10:01 PM
Well, not really. That is a little sarcastic. I can't help it usually! In a town called Mountville, which is in our neighboring Lancaster County, a dad stole his own son's identity.
Can you believe his son is serving in our military overseas?! He charged about $4,700 dollars worth of who knows what on 8 different accounts using his son's identity. Wow, I can't believe people do these things!
At least he is facing felony charges. I hope the judge makes him pay back more than what he charged.
Let's all try to be better examples to our kids and families, etc...!

I do not Homeschool, although everyday that goes by makes me think more about it, but I wanted to pass something along that I feel needs looking at. This is an e-mail forwarded to me and I am also giving the link to the petition.
The fact that the government thinks they need to continue to tell us what is best for us and our families just sickens me. Actually it scares me for our future as a country! You can click here to go right to the petition. Thanks for taking the time!!
