It Just Keeps Getting Worse
"I thought I only called him that. We had a beloved horse that Dr. Death came to put down. He gave her shots and said it was enough to put down an elephant. Well 6 hours later after many unanswered calls to him, we had to shoot her because of her going into seizures."

Joe
After your post about the officer in Frederick that was killed I went searching for more information since my sister and her family live in Frederick. I have included 2 links.
One link is about the officer and the other of how they SAVED 30k in 3 months by limiting the use of certain county vehicles.

NASCAR Is In Deep Trouble
The top 3 auto manufacturers are scaling back BIG TIME on NASCAR Sponsorship.
With automobile manufacturers struggling to survive and their $10,000,000.00 contracts will probably NOT be renewed.
I was told that Sunoco has been donating ALL of the fuel for all of the NASCAR Races as well. I'm not positive this is totally true but it wouldn't surprise me one bit.
Here comes the Depression Folks, especially if you're a big NASCAR Fan.

Where Have All The Pellets Gone???????
Are you having the same problem I'm having, I can't find pellets for my pellet stove?
I thought since so many people have purchased pellet stoves in the past couple of years, perhaps we should start advertising who has them in stock and how much they're charging per bag or per ton.
Sam's Club received 14 tons last week and they sold out in a day or two. I called them this morning and asked them when they might expect them in again and they said they hadn't reordered them.
Winter is just beginning and I personally can't believe they're not on the ball with this. I will add, WalMart doesn't have any either. Not the North Salisbury WalMart anyway.
Survival Products usually carries them but they charge much more per bag than anyone else. I believe the Tractor Supply carries them too.
OK, here's the scoop.
Sam's Club. $4.88 per bag
WalMart $5.75 per bag
Tractor Supply $5.99 per bag
NONE IN STOCK! No one can tell me when they will have any back in stock either. I called the Tractor Supply and they told me that their computer is telling them they are "out of season" meaning they can't even order them.
When I called Survival Products, no one answered the phone. When I got to their answering machine it said the mailbox was full. I'll bet if you went to any National Company that sells propane, oil and the likes of such you'd see hundreds of tractor trailer loads of pellets stored on their property?
OK, so do YOU know where they can be found and for how much?

Subject: President's Pension
For the Bean counters..From a financial perspective... A President's pension currently is $191,300.00 per year, until he is 80 years old. Assuming the next president lives to age 80, Sen.Mc Cain would receive ZERO pension as he would reach 80 at the end of two terms president. Sen. Obama would be retired for 26 years after two terms and would receive $4,973,800.00 in pension. (read carefully as it is almost $5 Million) Therefore, it would certainly make economic sense to elect McCain in November.... along with all the other good reasons! How's that for non-partisan thinking.
Worth Repeating.

When Is A Lie OK? ... When Frank Kratovil Tells It
Is it ever OK to tell a lie? If you are a liberal, it seems that lies are perfectly acceptable ... if it is liberals who are telling the lie. This appears to be the philosophy of the self-identified "independent", "moderate" congressional candidate Frank Kratovil.
Kratovil's campaign is claiming that his opponent, Maryland Sen. Andy Harris, is unfit to serve in Congress because of his refusal to pull an ad which Kratovil claims is "blatantly dishonest". To Kratovil's sycophantic supporters it matters not that the "evidence" that Kratovil was misquoted is based on an edited audio.
How pure is Frank Kratovil? Well, Kratovil has run ads that are blatantly untrue. Research performed by Michael Swartz over at MonoBlogue shows that both a TV ad AND printed material discussing Andy Harris' legislative record is "misleading", to put it kindly. IF TV are the standard, this makes Kratovil not only a liar but a hypocrite - even if his accusations about Harris are accurate; something I'm not sure about.
One reason that the Kratovil campaign won't release the complete audio of the SU event where he claims that the Daily Times misquoted him is the simple fact that this would verify a greater example of Kratovil's truth handicap. It was at the same event that Frank Kratovil said that he supported the trillion dollar federal bailout - while claiming that he opposed it the very next night at Cecil Community College.
Frank knows that everyone loves a flip-flopper, and this is a biggie. No wonder that PolitickerMD is the only outlet that has covered it. We would never expect the Baltimore Sun or the Daily Times to expend ink on a story that would harm a liberal.
What, then, is the media consensus? A lie is perfectly OK - as long as a liberal like Frank Kratovil is the one telling it.

Question of the Day, Thur 10/23
Why do you think Americans are obese? Is it due to the processed food? Do you think it's because of fast food restaurants? Do you think it's because of our comfort-eating due to mental issues like depression? Do you think it's because Americans plan all their social engagements over meals?
