Speculation on the basics we have to have day to day, to live, should never have been allowed to start with. It is open season on the common man by the rich. The U.S. Global wealth report said the investment capital of the richest Americans increased 10% last year to 38.2 trillion dollars.  Here in the NW we are told n...more

Muttley you don't need to find a blender. Just get a 2 year old child. They are like running a blender with the lid off.

There was a story a while back how the police was holding one of the collectable ones, worth a million bucks, an some of them took it for a joyride and totaled it. Other than the value involved, I'd just as soon be seen in my F150 as this thing. I doubt I could make the Insurance payment.  But like they say If you have...more

I worked for our city for near 29 years.  Every time a Dept. head got a federal grant, for example, $15000.00 to patch potholes, he was given a party for bringing the money into town. When I got sick and brought in over $300,000.00 into our community, in Federal dollars, the same ones who gave a hero status to the $15,...more

A lot of this could be applied to working with the medical profession and all there "test". There should also be a place there of if the "body work" is needed. Oh yes could a lot of it be also based on the insurance returns over the need?  Small world. Don't pick on the hard working auto repair folks.

Actually I am surprised to find so many honest people.  So many of the stories today are about this rich person or that politician getting caught in some relationship.  To me what makes me mad is not what they did or are doing, as long as it agreed on by both, but rather the fact they lie about it. I somehow doubt that...more

I read where the CEO of EXXON got 2 million in pay and a tip of 3 million, plus stock of 15 million, added to his $400 million golden parachute.  You blowhards let him rob you blind but keep feeding him his. What did he do for you? When did he so much as stick the nozzle in your tank much less actually pump the gas. Be...more

1981 Car ads. Dodge cars from smallest to largest, 52 to 35 mpg . Buick Skylark 47mpg. Caprice Chevy, big V8 31mpg.  What happened is Big Oil and Politicians. Can't have that smog.  As a child, in Illinois, I noted the rail road tracks abandoned in the streets of the towns and country side. I assumed the RR had abandon...more

The picture is a propaganda one by MSN. "Stinks" to say the least. Look more closely and you'll you note they are toy guns.  Any such display, other than by law enforcement, of firearms, in a city street would land these kids in jail and maybe prison.  Both the Wal-Marts, in our area have sold Rifles and Shotguns since...more
