People should attend this rally and ask Ryan lots of questions on his plans to gut Social Security and Medicare. But, if past experience is any indicator he will no doubt have them arrested and thrown out of the rally.
3:55 pm on Wednesday, August 15, 2012
Glinda, define "gut Social Security and Medicare." Do you mean strengthen the systems for future generations by giving them participation options, while leaving it untouched for those 55 and above? If so, then I suppose your words are fair. If not, then perhaps you should get educated before regurgitating the left-winged script.

Justin - I buy health insurance on the open market and the idea of an elderly person with lots of health problems getting good coverage at an affordable price is laughable. This voucher program is nothing but ruse to give insurance companies huge profits while leaving seniors with inadequate coverage and greater out-of-pocket expenses. As for the $700 billion "cut" from the Medicare program, it was not cut. These are cost savings instituted by the govt. that had Republican approval before the presidential campaign. Please drop the lies and the hypocrisy.

Those 55 and younger would be given the identical option that is given to our over 65 congress persons. They will also have the option to stay with Medicare as offered. The Affordable Healthcare Act is what will be gutting Medicare to the tune of $716 billion over the next 10 years.
The proponents of the ACA gutting say it will only 'reduce' payments to providers like doc's and hospitals, not to subscribers.
When you cut back the funding to the actual providers of the actual care...what do you think that will do to your access to care? Think about it.

Oh please Glinda when has the government ever saved money on anything? When has the government ever cut wasteful spending? The government is the most efficient wasteful spender this planet has ever seen. Talk about living in a dreamland. What country do you live in that has a government that would willfully remove any kind of pork? I want to move there.

Phyllis and Jim - please stop LYING. Polticact has debunked the lie that Obama cut Medicare by $716 billion and also proved that the Romney/Ryan plan for Medicare ALSO depends on the $716 billion in savings that Obama has instituted. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2012/aug/15/checking-facts-700-billion-medicare-cut/
"While the health care law reduces the amount of future spending growth in Medicare, the law doesn't actually cut Medicare. Savings come from reducing money that goes to private insurers who provide Medicare Advantage programs, among other things. The money wasn't "robbed." We rated the statement Mostly False.
Responding to the Romney attack, Obama campaign spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said Ryan's budget relies on the same $700 billion in savings from Medicare that Mitt Romney and other Republicans have been attacking Democrats about.
Ryan has confirmed that, and we rated it True."

Yeah, hate on the orthodox Catholic!
How much does ObamaCare take from Medicare? $750 billion?
Glinda Smith
10:10 am on Thursday, August 16, 2012
Stop lying about Medicare. The $750 billion you mention are cost savings which, until the presidential campaign, supported by Republicans.

how is obamacare saving anything? the cost has tripled
Phyllis Stager
1:02 pm on Thursday, August 16, 2012
@Glinda Smith: I can't believe you say that 'republicans' supported the alleged cost savings of $700 plus...LOL...as that was in the Affordable Healthcare Act...was there any republican support for the ACA? Besides...the $700+ taken from Medicare is to be reductions to paying doc's and hospitals who provide the care. If you don't think that will affect the level of, availability of and quality of the care given to Medicare recipients....think again. You think you bought a Rolls Royce...but look under the hood and ogle that Model T engine! LOL!
1:28 pm on Thursday, August 16, 2012
Glinda, please educate me. I really don't want to intentionally spread falsehoods. How is the $750 billion a cost savings? I thought what ObamaCare basically did was to just remove $750 billion from Medicare. They just aren't going to pay for $750 billion worth of services. Please correct me where I am wrong.
Full Disclosure, I like all of congress and the president didn't read the 2,700 pages in the bill. Perhaps you did.
Glinda Smith

MZ & Phyllis - I know you don't like bother with facts, but here they are:
"Voters might be left with the impression that Romney and Ryan have both opposed the cuts. The truth is that Ryan himself endorses them in his signature budget plan – the same plan Romney has said he would sign as president if it reached his desk.
Those Medicare savings -achieved through reduced provider reimbursements and curbed waste, fraud and abuse, not benefit cuts – appear in the House Republicans' FY 2013 budget, which Ryan authored."

Phyllis Stager
8:15 am on Sunday, August 19, 2012
@ Glinda Smith: You are correct in that it was in one of Ryan's BUDGETS to keep the Medicare cuts. However, both Ryan and Romney claim that in Ryan's plan to fix Medicare that they hope to present, that will NOT happen.
And again, may I remind you that in the ACA, those cuts over a 10 year period aside from the goal to cut waste and fraud, they were aimed at increasingly reducing payments incrementally to providers. Providers of care like docs, hospitals, nursing homes, home care companies and so forth. When you start cutting back in compensation to those who provide the care there will be refusals by providers to participate in the care of Medicare patients. Right on...ACA would not quit 'insuring' Medicare subscribers, the subscribers will ultimately need to pay out of pocket to assure getting care. Also, although I don't know what that Medicare Advantage plan is, in the ACA this will no longer be available to its subscribers. I think that affects 500,000 on that plan. I prefer a plan that will not cut Medicare but will fix it. As it stands now, allegedly Medicare will go belly up before the 10 years is up. It does need a sensible fix.
Phyllis Stager
8:18 am on Sunday, August 19, 2012
@Glinda...Correction: the figure on Medicare Advantage is more than 10 million, not 500,000. This will not be available with the ACA. Romney says he likes that plan and wants it kept.

Colleen Thorndike
3:14 pm on Wednesday, August 15, 2012
since ads would be purchased by third parties to be run on Patch, I think it's safe to assume that the Obama campaign (local headquarters maybe) are buying ads on Patch while Romney's campaign is not.

No thank you.
While you're in Ohio, though, you can go talk to John Kasuck and Frank LaHose about losing votes to the other side for their failed attempt at union busting last year.
That will help you understand part of the reason you're not headed to the White House. Had they not tried union busting, I think you'd have won Ohio. Not now.

Romney has favored a constitutional amendment that says that no one can be president unless he or she has run a business in the private sector for three years.
So why did he pick a VEEP who, if the amendment passes, will not be eligible?
In other ways too, Ryan's voting record is pretty much like Obama's:
It is almost as if Romney wants Obama to be his VEEP. Someone who supports RomneyCare.

Ryan has spent his entire professional life working for the government that he supposedly despises and getting all kinds of great government benefits in the process.
Phyllis Stager
12:24 pm on Thursday, August 16, 2012
@Glinda Smith: You are mistaken as to Ryan spending his entire professional life working for the government. After he graduated from Miami U in Ohio, he began working as a marketing consultant for a number of years. During college one of his jobs was driving the Oscar Meyer wiener truck. In his early years in DC he moonlighted as a waiter on Capitol Hill at the Tortilla Coast Restaurant. I don't think this guy is afraid of work.
John B. Greet
6:41 pm on Thursday, August 16, 2012
Correct, Phyllis, nor do I find anything in Rep. Ryan's record that indicates that he "despises" the federal government. What I *do* find is that he is one of the very few Congresspersons in D.C. who is actually offering some ideas on how to correct some of our fiscal challenges.
This during a time when the President can't get a single vote from his *own party* on his budget proposals and when the Senate has failed to even offer, let alone pass, a budget in over three years.
It is long past time for a change in executive direction. The current administration has failed by almost every reasonable metric.
Glinda Smith
6:05 pm on Friday, August 17, 2012
Oh, so now Phyllis you are bragging about the fact that Ryan drove the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile????? *LOL* And he worked as a "marketing consultant" for his family's company for exactly one year. He graduated from college in 1992 - from his bio this is what he did before he was elected to Congress in 1998:
"Betty Ryan reportedly urged her son to accept a congressional position as a staff economist attached to Kasten's office, which he did after graduating in 1992. In his early years working on Capitol Hill, Ryan supplemented his income by working as a waiter, as a fitness trainer and at various other side jobs.
A few months after Kasten was defeated by Democrat Russ Feingold in the 1992 election, Ryan became a speechwriter for Empower America (now FreedomWorks), a conservative advocacy group founded by Jack Kemp, Jeane Kirkpatrick, and William Bennett. Ryan later worked as a speechwriter for Kemp, the Republican vice presidential candidate in the 1996 United States presidential election. Kemp became Ryan's mentor, and Ryan cites him as a "huge influence."Ryan later worked for U.S. Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas before returned to Wisconsin in 1997, where he worked for a year as a marketing consultant for Ryan Incorporated Central, his relatives' construction company."
"Various other side jobs" don't count as private sector business experience. Not that I think a President or Vice President needs private sector business experience. It's Romney who said that.
Phyllis Stager
9:05 am on Saturday, August 18, 2012
@Glinda...I like the idea that the guy has always been willing to work at some job, whether in high school, college or after graduation. Certainly that counts for something. I wonder who financed the education at Occidental, Columbia and at Harvard for our president. We are talking years of big tuition, and living expenses. We have no record of our president ever having to contribute to his own education or livelihood by working 'summers' or nights or weekends. That is not open to the public. Whereas the Ryan's and Romney's resumes are open books. We, the citizens have no access to much of our president's past. Tell me....how the president has a social security number out of Connecticut? Did he not have one until he went to Columbia or Harvard and then ran over to Connecticut to get one at some point? It is an interesting conundrum. Romney would be indicted as a felon if he paid no income taxes for ten years...so I am not too worried about that. I had hopes for our first black president and I was proud of the USA for voting him in. I am now very concerned about the direction we are heading. Greece is in our future if we don't change the direction we are going. We need a shift in policy. We probably need to get rid of most of congress (repub and dem) and start over again with at least a budget in place. We need people who love this nation more than they love themselves to try to save it from collapse.

Obama mentioned recently that he and Michelle paid off their student loans eight years ago.
"We didn't come from wealthy families. When we graduated from college and law school we had a mountain of debt. When we married, we got poor together. We added up our assets and there were no assets. And we added up our liabilities and there were lot of liabilities—basically in the form of student loans," Obama said of himself and Michelle Obama." From: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/obama-paid-off-student-loans-years-ago/story?id=16204817#.UDAzzBzyBoU

Here's the Romney-Ryan Plan:
1. Tax poor & working people but not the rich;
2. Encourage wages in the U.S. to fall to third world levels;
3. Pass trade laws that make it easy for companies to send jobs overseas;
4. Pass laws that enable only insurance companies to control who gets health care (including seniors) and who doesn't;
5. Replace public education with out of pocket private schools and home schooling;
6. Refuse to invest in crumbling public infrastructure such as highways, bridges, and sewer systems;
7. Environmental Policy: Pass laws and weaken regulations that enable companies to pollute the environment;
8. Pass laws that enable gas and oil production and prices to be controlled by a few large companies; Make sure that there is no longer any research or work on alternative energy sources; Keep defense spending high to protect non domestic oil production;
9. Repress rights for women and minorities and repress voting participation;
10. Divide the American people on cultural issues (religion, sexual orientation, gun rights, etc);
11. Instill fear in the American public through manufactured crises and created "boogeymen". Then attack political opponents by claiming to be more "patriotic" and the better keeper of "American Values" than they.
12. Make it impossible for literally millions of ELIGIBLE voters to cast their ballots, which is flagrant vote tampering and corruption.

OH MY GOSH, Beav....I wouldn't vote for such a pair of scoundrels if what you profess were true. Whatever plan you are talking about just doesn't exist.
Do you realize that Ethanol is more polluting than plain old gas? So now we have a corn shortage and higher feed and gas prices at with the added benefit of increased pollution. Replacing public education?...amazing beyond belief. No investment in infrastructure...you gotta be kidding. Stomp on women's rights...laughable. The list is magnificent in its insanity.
Give us the documentation on this. Take the passages out of what ever plan this is and quote them directly. Please.
I am a working grandmother. I would vote for Howdy Doody to stop the present direction into which this nation is going. Its not about 'personalities' or political parties for me its about saving this nation from a Greece, Spain, etc. collapse. Both my grandmothers were 'working mothers', both becoming widows while raising their children. There was no welfare. But they fed and housed their kids by their own efforts. Several kids went to college...working their way thru. The adult kids of one grandmother bought her a house when they grew up....she had rented all her and their lives.
It seems to me the spirit and sense of responsibility that my grandmothers had is no longer part of the American culture. Now, we turn to the government to solve all our problems. You seem to be a big government fan...well, okay.
10:46 am on Sunday, August 19, 2012
1. Congress passes tax laws, not the president.
2. How and why would they do this?
3. Like GE? Similar to the "bailout" money spent by Obama overseas?
4. The insurance companies wrote Obama Care. Didn't your read the bill? Don't worry, neither did anyone who voted for it.
5. I assume you are referring to voucher programs which allow kids in failing schools to seek alternatives. I wonder where Obama sends his kids to schools, DC public schools, or private schools?
6. Do you mean they will eliminate all those "shovel ready" jobs?
7. Ryan is an avid outdoorsman. I am sure he wants to destroy the environment. Every hunter and fisherman that I know is all for pollution.
8. How would these laws work? Do you mean like the incredibly burdensome regulations that are currently on the books that allow only the biggest companies to comply due to cost?
9. Which rights? The "right" to free contractives?
10. It will be hard for them to compete with the current administration on this one. Romney & Ryan really have their work cut out for them.
11. What the what?
12. If by impossible you mean the requirement to provide ID, I don't really know what to say. It is nearly impossible to participate in the American experience with out ID. If you are referring to some other nefarious plan, please explain.
It is becoming difficult for many Americans to afford the current administration. I'M A WORKING FATHER.

Phyllis: What part of "The truth is that Ryan himself endorses them in his signature budget plan – the same plan Romney has said he would sign as president if it reached his desk," don't you understand? Stop lying or nose is going to grow so long you'll be tripping over it. Also, I worked my way through college, but that was back in the 70's when it cost $440 a quarter for tuition, room & board. I'd like to see anyone do that now when the average cost to attend a public university in Ohio is $20K a year.
7:52 am on Monday, August 20, 2012
Glinda, Why do you think college is so expensive? I wondered about this myself.
Has the education of the students gotten dramatically better as the costs have risen? If you are interested take a look at the correlation between federal loans and Pell grants and the cost of tuition. It would appear that the federal government has created another bubble, the tuition bubble. Each time federal college aid is increased, tuition goes up. There has been a 500% increase in the last 30 years. I am sure this is just a coincidence.
This is yet another example of a federal government program that was sold to the public to help, and has driven up costs. Yet another failure. Why anybody would think the federal government should be involved in college loans is beyond me.
Phyllis Stager
9:16 am on Monday, August 20, 2012
Glinda...ahh yes I remember those days when tuition was reasonable. I did the same as you did. But today, professors are bestowed with salaries that compete well with major management in business and industry. A tenured prof does real well in that arena. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I look at my grandkids going to college, 2 at public Universities (one at Bowling Green and one at U of Alabama) and the cost takes your breath away.
As to the Ryan budget thing, that was part of the plan, I believe, that was presented in the bipartisan Erskine-Bowles 'symposium'. I am not lying, in as much as Romney (running for president and the 'decider on this) AND Ryan both say that will NOT be part of the Medicare plan they have to save Medicare. Okay?
Glinda Smith
9:27 am on Monday, August 20, 2012
MZ and Phyllis - There is no truth to allegation that increases in Pell Grant funding results in increases in tuition:
"The House budget plan also claims that federal financial aid is responsible for increasing college tuition and cites a 2007 study conducted by University of Oregon economists showing that increases in Pell Grants are matched by increases in tuition at private nonprofit schools. But this study found no evidence that higher Pell Grants drive tuition increases at public universities, where 75 percent of all college students are enrolled.
The House Republican budget also cites the work of economist Richard Vedder as support for the notion that college prices are driven up by federal student financial aid. Yet Vedder's own Center for College Affordability and Productivity recently released a paper that reexamines the link between federal aid and tuition, concluding that aid directed at low-income students does not, in fact, increase tuition. Since the Pell Grant is a program for low-income college students, even the research of Rep. Ryan's favored scholars would not support cutting the program as a way to control tuition."
The cause is the decrease in state funding to public universities that continues as state budgets are hit hard by repeated recessions and decreases in aid from the Federal govt.
12:17 pm on Monday, August 20, 2012
Glinda, you failed to include Federal Loans in your analysis.
Regardless, based on your sited study I would have to assume you are completely ok with others paying for your education. If the true cause is as you state, a decrease in state and federal funding, then you must be ok with having others pay your way (or at least a piece of it). Before you answer, please keep in mind that the government cannot give to you (in the form of subsidized education) what it has not taken from someone else first.
What about the hypothetical family that lived next door to you while you were growing up who couldn't afford to send their kids to college? Is it fair to them that some portion of the taxes they paid may have went to send you to college?
Why does anybody think the federal government needs to be involved in all of these activities?
12:50 pm on Monday, August 20, 2012
Many prospective students don't have a college support system to rely on, that's where subsidized loans step in. If you think that is a burden on the US to have college educated people, that's backwards. In President Barack Obama's State of the Union speech in 2011, he said science, technology, engineering and math will guide the country's future, and education improvements are needed.
"Maintaining our leadership in research and technology is crucial to America's success ... if we want innovation to produce jobs in America and not overseas, then we also have to win the race to educate our kids..". We already lag globally in STEM majors so if government subsidized loans get more people into college and hopefully more into the STEM programs, then I'm all for it!
Glinda Smith
9:20 am on Monday, August 20, 2012
It's amazing to me that all of sudden, the Republicans are against having the government save money on a government program. How can this be? The Republicans now say they are against the government saving $716 billion with cost containments to the Medicare program. I bet you though the Republicans want to the government to save money on programs - so did I - but apparently we are wrong! Another funny thing - Why are the Republicans against "Obamacare" when it is almost identical to the program Romney developed in Massachusetts, aka "Romneycare?" How odd. Oh, wait - I bet the Republicans are doing this because it's an election year and they just want to oppose everything Obama's done and make him look as bad as possible so they can win the election. Now I get it!
11:46 am on Monday, August 20, 2012
Massachusetts is hardly a bastion of conservative governance or populous. Additionally, it is a STATE. The states were intended to be able to act independently, to make their own laws, to serve as petri dishes for the rest of the nation. The key is at the state level if you disagree, you can move to a different state. It is also much easier to hold an elected state level official accountable. Further, what Massachusetts wants to try doesn't impact me one bit.
What makes you think a large all-encompassing Federal Government is a good idea?
As a side note, I would bet that RomneyCare is the single biggest issue conservatives have with Romney. It is unlikely conservatives will run to the polls because of RomneyCare, rather in spite of it.
Phyllis Stager
12:08 pm on Monday, August 20, 2012
Another point...Romney care doesn't rob anything from Medicare in order to be deficit neutral. And the IRS is not involved in Romney care. And there is not a board of bureaucrat/non medical'advisors' who decide whether you get that by pass or have to live with a pill to save $. There are some major differences.
Each state should have the right to adopt a health care plan or not. During and after the passage of the ACA all the polls showed a majority of USA opposed the ACA. It was crammed down our throats as a result of that and many pols paid in the elections after that.

Glinda Smith
2:04 pm on Monday, August 20, 2012
MZ & Phyllis - remember the Civil War? That's when we determined that the Federal govt. trumps "state's rights." Even so, that's a pretty weak argument for being against a plan that is almost exactly the same as the one your candidate developed - LOL! As for me being ok with others paying for my education - that completely sidetracks the issue which is the increase in pell grants had nothing to do with the increase in tuition for public universities. As for the college tuition issue - I did pay ALL of my own expenses for college and I am currently paying for ALL of my daughter's expenses except for her scholarship. But, that is because I was/am able to do so. I am concerned about the large numbers of Americans who cannot do so as the cost has risen astronomically. As linda points out, it is important for our nation's security and economy that we have a well educated population. We're already lagging in STEM, and it's only going to get worse if this continues.
Phyllis - as for the Newsweek Article by Niall Ferguson - there were many, many errors. Since Newsweek doesn't have a fact-check dept. (can you believe that), The Atlantic graciously did so. So here are the corrections: http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2012/08/a-full-factcheck-of-niall-fergusons-very-bad-argument-against-obama/261306/
I doubt that you'll read it as I'm sure you don't want any facts to cloud your judgements, but there are probably other people on The Patch who are interested.

Whether I am for or against a candidate for any office does not mean that I fully indorse every stance they take. I do realize that they are politicians and can't walk on water. Should I assume that you support each and every position that Barack and Joe take? Are you willing to admit that you are fully, 100% behind them in every way? If so, please indicate that so we can really have some fun.
As for the college tuition, your sited articles conclusions are spurious at best. I don't think that I sidetracked any issue at all.
Let's be honest here. You think the Federal Government should have more power than I think it should. You think that the Federal Government can solve a whole assortment of problems, which I don't think it should be involved at all. You are for a big all-knowing and all caring Federal Government made up of fallible humans. That scares the you know what out of me.
Bye the way, why have college costs gone up 500% in the past 30 years?

Glinda...I just find all this stuff fascinating. I am trying to figure out whether people's political leanings are strictly self serving or what. Is it more important to have a government to provide every thing possible for their citizens, even at the risk of economic collapse or to have a beloved nation to continue to survive and protect liberties which no other nation in history has ever guaranteed.
Fo me that is what is at stake. Self interest or nation longevity. God Bless America.
Glinda Smith
8:20 pm on Monday, August 20, 2012
Oh, Phyllis, I knew the facts would be too much for you and you'd steer the conversation away from that. First of all, I don't think caring for other American's is "self serving." I myself have, according to your logic, taken very little from the federal govt. in benefits. I'm one of those who pays the taxes that supplies those benefits to others and I am happy to do so. I feel so blessed that I am financially able to do so. I consider taking care of my country and taking care of my fellow Americans to be the very height of patriotism. We Americans must take care of each other - no one else is going to do it, that's for sure! I consider neglecting my country and my fellow Americans to be the height of ignorance and depravity. I consider selling out my country to corporations and big banks, who currently control our Congress through their campaign donations and lobbyists to be a grave error that we must rectify and I don't think electing a millionaire with Swiss bank accounts is the answer to that. I guess we have very different ideas about what patriotism is and I think your version is the self-serving one - not mine.
MZ - I really don't want to discuss your paranoia.
8:08 am on Tuesday, August 21, 2012
Glinda, we probably have more in common than you think. It appears that we are both hard working, love our country and want what's best for the future generations. We may just have differences in opinion on the best way to get there. These differences in opinion shouldn't be reasons to hate one another, to call each other names, or to infer that anyone we disagree with must me stupid or I'll informed.
I take great pride in helping others as you do. I agree that we are participating in this American experiment together and that looking out for our fellow man is patriotic. Again, the issue that separates us is what is the most efficient way to accomplish these goals. That is all.
You are my fellow American and we have some big challenges ahead in this great nation. If I came across rude or insulting to you, please accept my apologese as this was not my intent. But please recognize that the Rs and Ds in front of people's names don't make them all good or all bad. I have yet to find the politician with holes in their hands.
Take care, and I'll try and seek professional help for my paranoia.
Phyllis Stager
7:13 am on Tuesday, August 21, 2012
Glinda, so your approach to 'one up' someone in a discussion is to use demeaning phrases like 'facts would be too much for you' and bestowing a DSM V diagnosis of 'paranoia' on those with whom you disagree? That MZ and I are ignorant and depraved. I see your benevolent heart and love of fellow mankind just screaming out at me.
So you are of the mind set that successful millionaires do not possess the where-with- all to run our country. Lets think about that for a minute. JFK was a millionaire. I didn't find him all that bad. And talk about buying votes, do a little research on HIS 'campaign'. Harry Reid was the farthest thing from a millionaire BEFORE he took office, as was our President. Just look at their 'worth' now. Both are multi-millionaires. I think I can conclude from your comments that you must agree with me in my resentment of the bail out money going to corporations and big banks. I would assume, also that you, like me, are angry that MF Global (John Corzine) which lost over $2billion will not be charged with any wrong doing with their investors cash. Put Maddoff in prison but let Corzine and his cronies have a free ride. Somehow, I see throwing money at failing industry and financial institutions a bit of 'selling out' by THIS administration. I am sure we have common ground in our thinking on this....or do we? LOL!
7:57 am on Tuesday, August 21, 2012
I don't think I am paranoid, but I guess if I was I probably wouldn't know it anyway. Is anyone who thinks the federal government has out stepped its bounds paranoid?
Phyllis, you are correct. How much money someone has doesn't define them. There are good rich and poor people just as there are criminals on both sides. Don't let the insults get you down. Try not to get dragged into the mud even though it is often difficult. Use humor and logic and keep smiling, it will drive 'em crazy.
Phyllis, just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not after me!
Phyllis Stager
8:08 am on Tuesday, August 21, 2012
LOL! MZ...its just the way the left tries to demonize anyone who disagrees with them. They are THE all-loving benevolent-caring bunch. But when their preaching and doctrine doesn't win the day they are forced to toss their warm hearted, compassionate persona to the wind and come in with the 'nasties'.
Phyllis Stager
8:40 am on Tuesday, August 21, 2012
MZ..you are a true gentleman. And for all Glinda's 'accusations' toward us, I have suffered worse. She is actually quite mild in her denigration's. Just go to the 'Mother Jones' web site and read the venom spewed by the left on those who disagree with them. These should be collated into a book and published, as the shock value of the language and epithets used there would make the best sellers list. The fallacy in the conception that conservatives want the poor to starve and die is sad.....as is the hate for those who are successful...(that is unless you are a film or rock star). My kids are all conservative-libertarians and they are volunteers in the community and in 3rd world countries. My oldest son won the "Dallas Cowboy" volunteer of the year last year. He received $10,000 for the organization he represents (which is helping single mothers with housing and career training in Dallas). My youngest son volunteers his specialized surgical skills for children, paying his own way to Kenya, Vietnam, India, Panama, and so many others I can't remember them. I can even post websites and videos of my kids and their involvement, in case Glinda thinks I am lying. LOL!
10:08 am on Tuesday, August 21, 2012
God bless you and your family. I hope I can raise my kids to be the outstanding citizens that yours clearly are.
You book idea is great.
Phyllis Stager
10:21 am on Tuesday, August 21, 2012
MZ...I didn't mention, however that my daughter's mission in life is to 'save' cats. LOL! She is a magnificent gal who has authored a text book which is in demand for junior colleges. She was an abandoned child whom I adopted from the 'welfare'. Raising my kids was the best time of my life. I wish I were young enough to take in more children and raise them.
Dan Marol

Ugh...this love affair between MZ and Phyllis is getting a little bit scary.
Phyllis Stager
8:46 am on Wednesday, August 22, 2012
Oh Dan, LOL! I am old enough to be ALL your-all's grandmother. Talking about values in a positive manner is a lot better than calling people stupid and paranoid.
7:30 pm on Monday, August 27, 2012
The President for life (he wishes), Barack Obama has high hopes to get the "Moron Vote" in his re-election bid for another 4 years! Will he succeed?
11:20 am on Sunday, November 4, 2012
I saw Obama yesterday claiming the new job numbers are proof that his policies are working and that we are in an economic recovery... Fact is, that is not the truth, or even close to the truth...
First, the unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9% and the year-to-date monthly average of 157,000 payroll jobs is barely enough to keep up with population growth -- much less make up for the 8 million jobs lost during the Great Recession.
Second, the so-called real unemployment rate (U6) remains elevated at 14.6%, albeit down from 14.7% the prior month. Similarly, the labor participation rate is at 63.8%, up from its multi-decade low but still incredibly weak.
Third, average hourly earnings fell a penny in October and average hours worked fell to 34.4 from 34.5 in September.
Stagnant wages means "we're not generating income," Reinhart says. "That's a problem in terms of the durability of an economic expansion, which is usually fueled by consumption. To get consumption you've got to generate income."
Also, just look at your checkbook. We are paying a lot more for everything now than we did in 2008. The price of gas has doubled. At the same time, wages have gone down, and that's if you're lucky to have a job.
In 2008, 25 banks went out of business. In 2012, 48 banks have gone out of business. Almost double the amount. Does that sound like recovery to you? Don't believe the Obama lies!!

In a city once defined by its many shoe makers, Rancourt and Company has carved a new niche in Lewiston.
The company is connecting techniques of the past with today's technology.
"We want to take this really old tradition of hand sewn shoe making, crafting shoes by hand, and combine it with modern technology, e-commerce to reach a world-wide consumer," said Kyle Rancourt.
Rancourt's shoes are shipped to dozens of countries around the world as well as all across the United States.
"The striking difference is the fact the Internet has opened our marketplace to the world," said Mike Rancourt.
Mike Rancourt has worked in the shoe trade in Lewiston since the 1960s, when his father opened a factory.
Today, Mike and his son Kyle run the business, founding Rancourt and Company in 2008.
They said they never considered opening anywhere but Lewiston.
"The biggest advantage we have making the shoes here in Lewiston is that there are still skilled craftspeople in the community that we can hire," said Kyle Rancourt.
"We need the skilled labor, and we need the workforce that understands our quality level," said Mike Rancourt.

Registration Guide and Online Class Schedule
The Registration Guide is a free, annual publication that provides information on registration policies, drop and add deadlines, final exam schedules, academic calendars, University Studies course information, and other related information for fall, winter and spring enrollment.
To provide more accurate and up-to-date class schedule information and support the university's sustainability initiative, the course listings are published online. Beginning April 26, students can view the most up-to-date class offerings for fall using the online Class Schedule. Included on that page is a link to a portable document format (pdf) version of the Class Schedule for students and staff who need to print certain sections of the course listings.
Class Locations
Building and room locations for classes meeting on campus are published in the online Class Schedule two weeks before the start of each term. This is to avoid the confusion of initial room assignments that are later adjusted due to enrollment changes, disability requests, and other factors. Students should confirm the locations of their courses in the online Class Schedule a few days before the term begins.
Locations for off-campus and online classes are included at the time the online schedule is first released each term.
Students with access requirements are encouraged to register with the Disabilities Resource Center (DRC), located in Room 435 of the Smith Memorial Student Union. The DRC receives an early list of tentative room assignments for planning purposes.
Course Planning Guide Available Online
The Course Planning Guide (CPG) is a projected list of courses to be offered during the academic year. The complete listing of the CPG is available online. Listings are subject to change throughout the year and students are encouraged to check back once in a while for the latest projections.
New Requirement to Attend New Student Orientation
Beginning fall 2010, all new undergraduates, both freshmen and transfer students, are required to attend a New Student Orientation: Advising & Registration session to learn about Portland State University and its academic curriculum and to meet with academic advisers prior to registering for classes.
Financial Aid Change to Federal Student Loan Program
In order to better serve our students at Portland State University, the Office of Student Financial Aid will move from the Federal Family Education Loan Program to the Federal Direct Student Loan Program for the 2010-2011 academic year. More information about Direct Loans is available here.
Textbook Retail Prices Available in Online Registration
Beginning fall 2010, in compliance with federal disclosure requirements, PSU will publish, to the maximum extent possible, the ISBN number and retail prices for required and recommended textbooks and supplemental materials for classes. The Banner online schedule will provide direct links to the PSU Bookstore web page, allowing students to view the ISBN number and the retail cost of textbooks and materials associated with the class. The information is being made available to enable students to seek out less expensive sources from which to acquire required and recommended materials.
Freshman Advising Requirement
Beginning fall 2010, all admitted freshmen, including freshmen with transfer credits are required to receive academic advising from their intended major department during their first year.
For students who have not chosen a major, advising is available through the Undergraduate Advising and Support Center (UASC) in 425 Smith Memorial Student Union. Students in pre-professional programs, e.g. education, medicine, nursing may receive their advising at either the major department or through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Advising Center in 387 Cramer Hall. Students should contact their major department, their college or school advising center or the Undergraduate Advising and Support Center to clarify their advising options.
New System for Managing PSU Computer Accounts
A new system called the Odin Account Manager (OAM) is available in order to improve computer account activation and management. OAM will provide students with more freedom and control over their accounts by using a self-service model. The OAM system will manage PSU Information System access (Banweb), PSU computer lab accounts, PSU e-mail access, Blackboard, and Wi-Fi access. For more information, go here.
Transportation & Parking Services Has Moved
The Transportation & Parking Services office has relocated to the 1st floor of the new Academic Student and Recreation Center on the corner of 6th Ave. and Harrison St.
The Transportation Information Center located in the Urban Plaza and the windows in the Neuberger Hall lobby will remain closed. The new location offers all services, passes, and permits.
PSU Bills Now Available Via Electronic-Bill (e-bill) Statements
In an effort to improve customer service, promote sustainability, and save money, PSU introduced electronic-bill (e-bill) for all currently enrolled students in the Spring of 2010. Students are sent an email to their ODIN email account when their statement is ready to view and can then view their e-bill statement online by logging in to the PSU Information System.

Perfect DVD drive for Macbook Air Users
For some reason, the burning speed is much faster on this SuperDrive than other standalone DVD drives you find on Amazon. I tried the Amazon Basic DVD drive, but the speed is so slow that I had to return it. The Apple USB SuperDrive doesn't have this problem, though. …

Shouldn't Be Paying So Much For This
This machine does what it's supposed to do. I haven't run into any problems with it and it works really fast and dependable.
What I don't understand however is why Apple would take this out as part of the deal with buying a Mac Pro. CDs are still a very important part of in society, and to take something out that was previously part of a computer is silly. $80 is exspensive when you're already buying a new computer. Plus it doesn't offer Blue Ray. I absolutely had to buy it allow me to install my educational disk of CS6. Apple does not help its customers in saving money and tries to nickel and dime every little thing now. Also, the chord needs to be longer, or at least be blue tooth or something so it is not always in my way. …- Written by meaghan L from atlanta

In Rome: Total War, the most epic, cinematic real-time 3D battles ever seen in a game come to life with awe-inspiring graphics. Vast armies are lead by brilliant generals such as Hannibal, leader of the Carthaginians; the barbarian warlord Vercingetorix; Boudicca, the British warrior queen; and Julius Caesar, Rome's greatest general and leader. The mightiest armies and the most brilliant commanders of ancient times clash in an epic war game only Total War can create.
- Easily manage vast cities and gigantic battles with the aid of advisors, auto managing tools and pick-up-and-play controls.
- Forge an empire on the revolutionary 3D campaign map with an intuitive display of your cities and armies.
- Command unique units, from Carthaginian elephants and Scythed war chariots to Roman war dogs, using intuitive controls.
GAME's Jonus Austinix does it like a Roman...
Medieval: Total War must surely be one of the ten best titles in the history of PC gaming - featuring intuitive but incredibly deep realtime strategy, Risk-style map management, and an optional level of micromanagement to put most God-sims to shame, it turned millions of heads.
Its sequel, Rome: Total War, has already turned millions of heads, before release, due to its involvement with the BBC TV show Time Commanders, which featured an earlier version of the exciting game engine.
Smart cookies
Rome of course, is a phenomenal subject on which to base a strategy game, though bizarrely there haven't actually been many - last year's Praetorians from Eidos was an enjoyable stab but let's face it, it wasn't Total War. The Romans were smart cookies when it came to battle - highly trained, efficient and organised, and the period that the game covers is one of the bloodiest in the history of man. Controlling - or going up against - such legendarily unbeatable troops, can't fail to be an amazing experience.
The recent demo gives a fair idea of what to expect from the finished game but it's also likely to have barely scratched the surface. It begins with a truncated tutorial, in which you are taught how to use your spearmen, archers and cavalry to see off a horde of marauding Gallic barbarians, and then throws you into a more complicated battle against Hannibal of Carthage himself.
It never ceases to impress when there are thousands of troops clashing on screen at the same time.
You begin the full game as a representative of the house of Julii, carrying out missions which expand the glory of Rome. Get noticed and you'll grab a seat on the senate - from there it's simply a case of biding your time, amassing your power and waiting until the time is right to overthrow the rest of the senate and become Emperor - all for the good of Rome.
It doesn't have to be Rome, of course. Several civilisations are available to control throughout the game (such as the aforementioned Carthage) and each have access to a huge range of realistic unit types - Carthaginian elephants are particularly impressive - they can cause massive damage and instil huge amounts of fear, but they're also troublesome - if they get spooked they can trample your own army just as quick as the opposing force.
As the game goes on you expand your territory through negotiation, diplomacy or of course, force, choosing your battles in the main game map and overseeing those battles you wish to, personally.
Amazingly epic
It never ceases to impress when there are thousands of troops clashing on screen at the same time, and as well as your standard battles it's also possible to be the attacking or defending force in some highly impressive siege scenarios, with huge engines of war doing their utmost to topple defences.
Rome looks like continuing the Total War brand with the same finesse that it started with Shogun and continued with Medieval. It's got to the point now where we don't even have to wonder if the next instalment is going to be any cop - it's just a case of how much exactly we're going to be amazed by this epic experience.

text: The Show Catwalk Close up Back stage Fashion Shows Spring/Summer 2004 Ready-To-Wear Proenza Schouler 18 September 2003 JACK MCCOLLOUGH and Lazaro Hernandez proved themselves more than worthy of the Perry Ellis Newcomers Award that they won at the CFDA fashion Oscars in June yesterday. Their latest collection for the Proenza Schouler label that they famously named after their mothers, was a brighter, more casual version of their acclaimed autumn/winter set, but their fondness for seamed bustier-style tailoring was still apparent on paneled swimsuits and dresses. Having stuck almost wholly to black this season, the PS boys let themselves loose on colour for spring, offering sherbet yellow drawstring shorts, loose, gauzy skirts of peach blush silk voile and cinnamon-orange canvas trousers. Sporty and nautical in the main, with large yellow fisherman's anoraks enveloping models in baggy vests over paneled swimsuits, the collection included sweet, childish cotton shirts buttoned up to the neck and slouchy V-necks that could have been stolen from a boyfriend. There was a touch of the season's essential Twenties in the occasional rope of pearls or flash of Chanel-esque tweed on a boxy, cropped jacket and some seriously gorgeous dresses that flared around the knees which allowed for a little dressing up amid the sunshine fun. (September 18 2003, AM)

Are you tired of doing things alone? Do you love doing things outdoors? HIKING, walking, biking, snow sports, all sorts of things :-) !! We are a four-season group focusing on outdoor events in a relaxed setting, a group that is welcoming and warm. Many wonderful friendships have grown over time among our members. Many of our activities are focusing on HIKING right now, but there are other things to have fun with!!!! Be forewarned, you must have a silly side to fully appreciate us....... :-)
Join with like-minded singles looking for fun, friendship, and possibly dating if the chemistry is right. Our main focus is adults having fun together with no dating pressure.
Outdoor adventurers need to be prepared for fun and great company! I'm really looking forward to getting outdoors as much as possible, and have lots of cool outdoor things to do. We will also occasionally enjoy indoor activities (mainly during the winter), dinners, bowling, let's see what else we can do together!!
This group is open to all single people, dating people (see note below), and happy dogs of such people. Activities are for adults only. This group is not for people in committed relationships or married people.
For those in dating relationships, one aspect of our group is to be a safe haven for people who are surrounded by a world that sometimes seems to be Couples Only, be considerate if you bring a date.
All events are at your own risk and you will need to sign a liability waiver and bring your sense of adventure to participate. NO GRUMPY PEOPLE!!! For friends with kayaks, check out my other group, Newburgh Area Kayakers. :-)

Top resolutions - according to the Internet - include going to the gym, eating healthier, losing weight, spending more time with friends and family, getting out of debt, and - one that's been at the top of my list for numerous past years - putting a stop to nail biting.
Seems I've made and broken them all - especially the nail-biting. Once I woke up on New Year's Day and was gnawing on a nail before my feet hit the floor.
Of course, getting out of debt is almost a daily resolution that I torture myself with, because in reality we fell over our fiscal cliff years ago and continue to be battered by the rocks below. Forget an Act of Congress helping us - we need a lotto win.
Does this ever happen to you? After getting my direct-deposit paycheck on Jan. 1, I paid my bills - or the minimum balance of them anyway. Then I looked at the balance in my checkbook and swore that - barring anything catastrophic - I would not write another check or swipe my debit card until I got paid again on the 15th. Unrealistic, I know, but I was hoping that I could make it at least until the seventh.
Driving to work on Jan. 2 I realized I forgot all about a co-worker's New Year's Day birthday. She's very special and I always get her a little something. Trying to keep my word to my checkbook I walked over to her, gave her a hug and told her I was postponing her birthday
I slinked to my desk and was working when my phone rang - it was my doctor's office reminding me of an appointment I'd forgotten - and my hefty co-pay.
It seems that every time I make any kind of attempt to save money the universe smiles, rubs its hands together and says, "Oh good, let's have some fun with her."
I just have to figure out how to convince the universe I was only kidding - maybe pull out my charge card and go on a spending spree?
As I ramble, let me tell you the funniest, most frustrating story I heard this holiday season.
My good friend and neighbor Stephanie Fauce - who is one of the - if not the - most generous people I know, came over New Year's Day to have some coffee and conversation with my mother, aunt, sister and I.
Yes, husband Dan was there, but when the talking starts - he runs.
Anyway, she was telling a story that had us rolling - even me - and I'd heard it twice already, so I thought it was totally worth sharing.
See, she buys gifts for everyone - she even brought gifts over for my dogs.
Now, at Upland's "Shop `till You Drop" event she bought two friends these nicely packaged homemade cookies from a start-up business.
She brought them home and put them on her kitchen counter. Sounds safe - right?
In the morning they were gone. Most people would start blaming husband and children - but she went right where the blame belonged and looked down at her ankles at Bob Barker.
Bob is one of Steff's three Basset hounds - at 70 pounds not the biggest, but definitely the most determined.
You would not think Bob's short stubby legs would have such "hops," but when that dog wants something he gets it.
The frustrating part - besides "the dog ate my cookies" - was having to find another one of those cute, unique, "just a little token" gifts.
After brainstorming awhile we went to Sinfully Sweet, a La Verne shop specializing in hand-dipped apples.
She bought three (two for the friends and one to share) of the most delectable looking apples. The clerk put each in a plastic box - perfect for gift-giving.
This time Steff wasn't taking any chances. Late into the night, when her Basset hounds were fast asleep, she put the apples in a bag and hung it from a high coat rack right outside the garage so she would remember to deliver them to her friends the next day.
The next morning, while Steff was putting on her lip gloss, there came Bob - an apple stick protruding out of one side of his mouth.
"He just looked at me - not one bit of remorse. Like he was saying, `What? Weren't these mine?' You know, it's just hard to stay mad when you look into the eyes of a Basset hound."
It's still a mystery how Bob got his long body off the ground.
Steff ended up getting gift cards.
As far as my New Year's Resolution, well, I have been blessed enough to see 53 new years begin so I guess if I had to pick one, it would be to see my 54th.
I wish us all, all good things in 2013.
