Possible Real Good News for Wicomico County

In the separate primary contests for County Executive, Bob Culver got a total of 3,841 votes in the early and election day Republican voting -- more than the 3,361 votes that Richard Pollitt got in the Democrat primary. And since there are a lot less Republican voters in the County -- that's very big news.

Where Does One Get This Sticker?

Where does one get this sticker?
PRAY FOR YOUR PRESIDENT !


Psalm 109:8
My wife and I were in slow-moving traffic the other day and
We were stopped behind a car with an unusual Obama
Bumper sticker on its bumper.
It read: "Pray for Obama Psalm 109:8"
 
When we got home my wife got out the Bible and opened it
Up to the scripture. She started laughing and laughing. Then she read it to me. I couldn't believe what it said. I had a good
Laugh, too.
 
Psalm 109:8 ~
"Let his days be few and brief;
And let others step forward to replace him."
 
At last -- I can honestly voice a biblical prayer for our
President! Let us all bow our heads and pray.

Brothers and Sisters... Can I get a big
 
AMEN!
If you think you're too small to make a difference,
you haven't been in bed with a mosquito.

Clinton: I’m not ‘truly well off’

Hillary Clinton, who has a net worth upwards of $50 million, said in an interview that she is "unlike a lot of people who are truly well off."

Clinton was derided for comments made last week that her family was "dead broke" when it left the White House in 2000 although they were far from the poverty line. Bill and Hillary Clinton have reportedly made more than $100 million since leaving the White House.

But Hillary, who charges a six figure speaking fee, says with a burst of laughter that she is not "truly well off" and that her wealth is the result of "hard work," according toThe Guardian:

The Word “Natural” Helps Sell $40 Billion Worth Of Food In The U.S. Every Year—And The Label Means Nothing

Nothing makes Americans buy a food product quite like the fabulously ambiguous word "natural."

The top 35 health claims and food labels include words most anyone who has been to a supermarket in the past five years should recognize—ones like "natural," yes, but also "organic," and "fat free," and "carb conscious," and "100 calories." These phrases helped the food industry sell more than $377 billion worth of masterfully marketed food items in the United States during the past year, according to data from market research firm Nielsen.

The list of lucrative food labels is long, and, at times, upsetting.
