Three big fires in ten months. What does the future hold?

Amazing coverage, and where are Wendy's forces? I don't know, because the NP website is limited to subscribers only, and becoming one is an emotional impossibility.

Welcome to the future. Not pretty.

I'm not entirely convinced by what Matt tellingly labels as "spin." The national economy may indeed be having a significant effect on retail in SB. As my for mother-in-law was fond of saying, "No peddler goes around crying, 'Rotten fish for sale'."

Good column. Very old news.

We've had enough of the Bushes, Cheneys, McCaws, and all the other vultures who live off the blood, sweat, and tears of decent Americans. These evil creeps need to be sent packing. It's past the time for outrage. Let's make our voices heard, and boycott anything that these people have their grimy hands on.

Start off the new year by boycotting ALL News-Press advertisers, big and small, no exceptions. That includes garage sales.

Fascinating to contemplate that humanity may be just one more of Mother Nature's evolutionary experiments, fated to go the way of all dinosaurs. Oh well, let's see if the cockroaches can do better, unless we've managed to feminize their guys as well.

The consequences are boulders. The act itself was stupid, but as I said, who among has not done something equally stupid and gotten away with it by grace.

Take it easy folks. It's easy to get angry if you've suffered a big loss, but just imagine what these kids are most likely going through and will probably have to continue to do so for the rest of their lives.

They screwed up, and there were terrible consequences, but which of us hasn't screwed up that much and escaped causing terrible consequences? Are we all so wonderful that we could never have done such a thing?

Let her/him who is without sin cast etc.

On Tea Fire Cause Is Determined

Regarding taxin' Obama, the alternative sure worked out real good: spending lots of money without having it. Instead of taxin'; us now, we've taxed our kids and grandkids. We're just all heart. Makes you kind of warm and fuzzy all over. But you got your SUV, the loan lenders (kinda reminds you Jesus and the moneychangers) got their huge commissions, and our beloved president moved closer to achieving the neocon goal, which was spending borrowed money on war so there wouldn't be any left over to spend on those damn government programs for infrastructure and other horribly wasteful things that actually did some good for the people at the bottom of the feeding chain, the ones who actually pay the taxes.
