Ahh yes.... Another "well-read" and "educated" voter speaks..... Perhaps Obama will give you some money from his "stash", and assist you in garnering an education..... Or at least a copy of "Spell Check".... I'd say that the people whose opinion shouldn't count would be those that can't pass a basic literacy test. How...more

Good God People, get a GRIP and take personal responsibility for yoursel! I do NOT NEED the Government to tell me what to eat or drink, and if YOU DO...... Why don't you just head off to the Back 40 and Bite the Barrel, because if you're that needy, then you shouldn't be a drain on the rest of society.... I've about ha...more

Well.... I'd say it really doesn't matter.... The fact is that the dog's not given a choice. I'm not gonna call it "inhumane", but I WILL say it's WAY UNCOOL to do that to your pet....

Let's see.... Since I was 24 and dropped out of college in 1990 to go fishing in Alaska, I've never made less than 6 figur...more

$150k...... It's pretty subjective. When I got married in '83 at 17, I thought the $25k I was making was pretty good, In '88 when we bought our 1st house, and I was makin' $45k, we still thought it was pretty good. We had 3 kids by then, by by scraping by, the wife was able to be a stay-at-home Mom for the kids. In...more

John Mayo!   Hear! Hear! (or is it "Here! Here"!?)   In any event, those of us with a real "profession" and paid as such, really have no room to complain if once in a Blue Moon our lives are disrupted. But those who work "retail", and are both poorly paid and poorly thought of by the "Corporate Masters" really ...more

This is going to be the 3rd year in the last twenty that I've missed Thanksgiving with my wife and kids, but as a commercial fisherman, it is what it is. There's always a Next Year, and we'll all lay around the house over the whole Thanksgiving Weekend. There's no need to go fight any kind of crowd just to get an extra...more
