clijntonville 43214: WHY SHOULD ANYONE WHO OWES BACK TAXES BE ALLOWED TO BE ELECTED TO THE SENATE OR GIVEN A CABINET POST? - 02/10/09 01:31 PM
Simply amazing! Appointees of the new president have not paid their taxes. And now I find out that the potential new Senator form Minnesota also may be behind in taxes owned to the state ( more than one state!)
 
Why do they think they can get away with this? Please take action, don't vote for these idots ever again!!!

clijntonville 43214: OFFICE MOVE 2008 - 12/29/08 12:28 PM
Well, after 6 years and 3 month at our first location, our office made a move to our new digs. Luckily it was over the holidays so business was down and movers/ phone techs were glad to have a job! We also were lucky that the move was only one mile and the mild Central Ohio weather ( 52 degreestoday) was still around  Image moving if it were 8 degrees!
 
And tomorrow is another day, still need to get the internet hooked up! I was at my title company 1/2 of the day checking email!!!

Well, on the front page of the Columbus Dispatch, (Ohio's greatest home newspaper) the headlines blared,FOR SALE? GOOD LUCK!
Then all the wonderful stats for Novembers 08 sales were given. Gee, I wonder if they wonder why NONE of us ( well most of us) don't advertise with them any more!
 
Then I was getting some coffee at a store, checked out the newspaper rack, and behold, another      wonderful article on the front page of the Cleveland Plain Dealer!  What a great Christmas Eve!!!
