(June 17, 2014) -- This week, the International Trade Center, a Small Business Development Center in the UTSA Institute for Economic Development, is hosting a delegation of high-level government officials and business development professionals representing several Caribbean countries. Center administrators will allow the guests to observe SBDC operations and then travel with the delegation to Washington, D.C., as the visitors learn about network administration, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) policy creation and program oversight.
SBDCs, established throughout the United States by the federal government in partnership with universities and colleges, assist entrepreneurs and business owners in establishing and growing their businesses through a free and confidential suite of advising services. Services include, but are not limited to, feasibility studies, business strategies, financial planning, marketing, production and professional networking. The centers support new and existing businesses.
The delegations from Barbados, Dominica, Jamaica, and Saint Lucia will observe the operations of SBDCs and other centers at the UTSA Institute for Economic Development. They will learn how the U.S. SBDC model works by viewing presentations on the business advising services, training programs, client presentations, and participating in other stakeholder meetings.
Later in the week, the delegations will join up with other delegates from Jamaica and Belize -- countries which have already participated in a San Antonio visit -- in Washington, D.C., where they will meet the Small Business Administration (SBA), State Department, U.S. Senate and House Small Business Committee leaders.
The training is part of the International Trade Center and Institute for Economic Development SBDCGlobal program that, with the support of the Department of State, has been helping countries to develop U.S. modeled SBDC networks in the Americas since 2003.
"When countries visit UTSA, and our SBDCs, they get an in-action view of how we create economic impact in our communities on a daily basis," said Cliff Paredes, director of the International Trade Center. "We expect the delegates to get a lot out of this opportunity. Traveling on to Washington D.C. provides a critical vantage of how our larger funding stakeholders operate, and how we work with them to advance our common goals. It's always an eye opening experience."
The International Trade Center at UTSA is one of the largest and most successful trade assistance organizations in Texas. It helps companies become globally competitive through technical trade consulting, customized market research and innovative training programs. The center is a specialty SBDC program in the South-West Texas Border SBDC Network.

At Yahoo.
Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer says she has cut 1,000 jobs at the company in her first year, and mentioned that there are 10 times that number of new job applications pouring in every week.
Mayer told Reuters that the cuts have come through a combination of attrition and new quarterly performance management reviews, replacing previous annual reviews at the Sunnyvale-based Web giant.
There were 15,000 full-time employees and 3,000 part-timers when Mayer took over last July. As of its most recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company had 11,300 full-time employees.
Her highest profile work force move was to end work-at-home positions, but it isn't clear how many of the job cuts resulted from that.
Her moves don't seem to be hurting her image within Yahoo or of the company among prospective employees. Mayer told Reuters that the 10,000 job applications a week that the company is seeing is double what was coming in last year.
But not to worry, Home Depot is hiring thousands of part-time seasonal employees.

Information from the National Portfolio Day Association, from portfolioday.net :
This is an opportunity for those who wish to pursue an education and career in the visual and related arts to meet with representatives from institutions offering professional programs accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design.
What is a National Portfolio Day?
National Portfolio Days serve a variety of purposes. Most importantly, they help further the development of young artists by bringing together experienced college representatives to review artwork , and offer critique. You'll hear many different opinions about your work. Do not hesitate to explain how you develop your ideas, and where you want to go with them.
Some people make certain kinds of art more successfully than others. Do not be discouraged if you see work that is "better" than yours. A National Portfolio Day may be the first time you see so many people in one place who share a powerful commitment to the arts. This experience is a small taste of what attending a professional art program can be like. We hope you will enjoy the intensity of the experience.
National Portfolio Days are also about the exchange of information: information about your work, yourself, your college plans, your concerns. They are not an examination or a competition. The colleges represented are pleased to discuss their programs with you. Of course they can be most helpful when discussing your work. Your portfolio should include the best work you are making now; but it can also include work in progress, sketchbooks, and tear sheets. Do not spend an inordinate amount of time matting or framing your work, or worrying about presentation. The work itself is what is of interest. Whenever possible you should bring your original artwork. If you bring slides- of work that is too large or fragile to carry, or digital media of work that is time-based, such as video, animation, or performance, it is your responsibility to ensure that the work can be viewed. You may choose to bring your own slide viewer, video camera and/or laptop to show your work. Be advised however, that you will not have access to an electric outlet.
No admissions decisions or scholarship awards will be offered to you at a National Portfolio Day. Some colleges represented may accept the portfolio you present as the visual portion of your application. Other colleges have review structures which prohibit them from making a definitive admission decision at the time of your review. All expect your art to progress in the coming months. We urge you to discuss your work with as many representatives as possible.
What is the National Portfolio Day Association?
The National Portfolio Day Association (NPDA) was created solely for the organization and planning of National Portfolio Days. Since 1978, NPDA members have been hosting portfolio days throughout the country. The Association consists of regionally-accredited art colleges which are members of the National Association of Schools of Art and Design. It is the only organization of its kind, and its membership represents the highest standard of visual arts education available in the United States.
Choosing an Art College
The first and most important thing to remember in choosing an education in the visual arts is that artmaking is a special kind of learning experience. In addition to considering academic standards, extracurricular activities, housing, costs, and financial aid, there are other things to think about. Of particular concern to art students should be the faculty, facilities, and equipment, proximity to museums, galleries, and other cultural resources. We urge you to thoroughly read about the art colleges in which you think you are interested. Try your best to visit them. Get a feel of the college before you make your final decision. Investigate its accreditation and transferability of credits, and be sure you understand its degree offerings and majors. Get as much information as you can so that you can choose a supportive and stimulating environment that is right for you.
We look forward to reviewing your work. We are interested in your development, and will endeavor to provide you with the information necessary for you to make the right choice for the next important step in your education.

Art is the communication of what a society thinks, experiences and feels. In our history we've had everything from religious figures to Campbell's soup cans become iconography that explain our time and place.
It's no accident that our collective memories have been shaped by images over time-whether painted and hung on a wall or sent by satellite onto a TV set. The image explains our thoughts more than words often...

Sentiment: Strong Buy
Earnings in early November should meet if not beat. One thing for sure is that Zalicus is capable of producing revenue. Current royalty agreements are solid and long term. If upcoming data is promising, and I think it will be, then the PPS will exceed $5 easily.

So as I was thumbing through my latest edition of EGM I came to the Overheard section. This is where quotes from video gamers or the like are given to enlighten us all about the true feelings of others. Not that that's gonna matter the page is next to a Halo 3 preview, like this month's edition.
But I did happen to come across on a boring day and notice Sony's CEO and president in computer entertainment, Ken Kutaragi, output on the accusations of the PS3 being too expensive. He had to say this: "It's probably too cheap. For instance, is it not nonsense to compare the chare for dinner at the company cafeteria with dinner at a fine restaraut? With the PS3, you can have next-generation game experiences that could previously not be experieced..." This is a rather lengthy quote so I'm gonna stop it right there but here is something else that happened to be interesting to me. Mr. Kutaragi goes on to say that: "...if you can have an amazing experience, we believe price is not a problem".
Ok I'll give him that. The truth is gaming is an expensive hobby and that isnt going to change anytime soon. People, like myself, however, continue to pay what they can to experience a great game. Although, Mr. Kutaragi fails to see that his own consumers are being offered a gaming experience just the same for about 200 dollars less. Enter Xbox 360. And then there's a gaming experience that will most likely be much different but only because it will be setting a new standard for all other gaming companies in the future. Say what now? Try Nintendo's revolutionary system and also the next milestone in gaming. The Wii. How much was that again. Oh yea...the same as a PSP. But wait that's less than half the price of a PS3. Wrap your mind around that one. So it seems that Sony is outmatched this year and will be until that price drops a couple benjamins.
Peter Moore had an opinion of his own on the overpriced system competing with his company's product. Mr. Moore is the Corporate VP of Interactive Entertainment at Microsoft. He said, "Tell me why you would buy a $600 PS3? People are going to buy two [machines]. They're going to buy an Xbox and they're going to buy a Wii...for the price of one PS3." I couldnt agree more. This ridiculous price is going to set Sony straight and show that you just cant take advantage of people's love of gaming to fill your own wallets.
Isnt there a company out there that is in it for the gamers and not themselves. Duh! Why dont I end this blog by thanking that company. Nintendo, I appreciate the love and please dont fall into the grave of greed that Sony is currently digging for themselves. Right next to Electronic Arts.

This is the June 2016 issue of my monthly newsletter, featuring links to my work online, exclusive looks at work in progress and recommendations for other people's writing, as well as giveaways and subscribers' discounts.
The July issue will be coming out soon, so if you want to get it as soon as it's available, sign up and get a look at what I'm up to & thinking about before anyone else.
Yes, please I would love to sign up for Adam's Occasional Poetry News!
Greetings from the abandoned goldfields of Central Victoria. It's time for what's-ups from yours truly.
Apologies for not getting one of these out in May – I was working hard on my Poem: Spaceknight sequence, more of which below, so the newsletter had to miss a month. But we're back now.
To start with, here's a little T-to-the-L-to-the-D-to-the-R:
- Poem: Spaceknight: I have written 79 poems about sad cyborgs in love.
- My website: I shut it down because arts funding is fucked.
- Anticline: My free poem about rock formations is once again available.
- Another book of poems: I made another book of poems.
- What I've been reading: Lots of Aussie poets and a comic about spies.
This was written on the land of the Dja Dja Wurrung and Wurundjeri nations.
So I finished that Poem: Spaceknight thing
On June the 14th I published the 79th and final poem in the series of poems about 1980s space-cyborg comics I've been working on since January. That last poem hit the interwebs roughly six months after I penned the first one, which timeframe has a pretty nice ring to it.
It was a slog at times, particularly toward the end there, but I made it. What began as a dumb-throwaway-summer-holiday-down-the-beach idea is now sixteen thousand words and change of space cyborg poetry. This makes me extremely pleased with myself.
All 79 poems are still up on the Poem: Spaceknight site for all to see, but I will probably take them down in about a month so that I can do some other things with them. Such things may include:
- Putting together a live performance I can trot out hither and yon, possibly featuring multimedia muckamuck and a cyborg-poetry showbag
- Recording a poem-by-poem podcast featuring readings of all 79 poems
- Editing all 79 poems in order to make a poetry manuscript I can hock at publishers
- Submitting the odd poem to literary journals to see what sticks
Stay tuned to this newsletter for developments with regard to the above. In the meantime here's the last poem in the sequence (spoiler alert), which I'm quite pleased with, for your enjoyment (or possible re-enjoyment).
The End!
(Rom #75, February 1986)
— for Bill Mantlo —
There is no one left to fight. The sorcerous
alien conquerors have been banished from this
dimension. The tyrant traitor's forces shattered
with their leader at his feet, victims of their
own cruelty. His humanity has been returned.
He had laid a silver hand on the floating globe
of light and the armour that had encased him,
the circuitry that had woven through him,
the technology embedded deep inside, his
saviour and his suffering, was finally gone.
With his whole, his human body, he weeps.
For all the dead of his homeworld he weeps.
For the fellow cyborgs who lost their way
he weeps. For all the fallen soldiers he has
buried or left to drift alone in space he weeps.
For the enemies who would not stand down
he weeps. For those whose humanity could
not be restored he weeps. For two hundred
years of death and collateral damage he weeps.
And as he weeps she weeps at his side,
both of them finally truly human together
at the same time. With countless galaxies
between them and the planet where they
met he holds her hand and for the first time
feels its warmth. Her nervous grip matches
his nervous grip. He looks into her eyes with
eyes unenhanced by artificial lenses, eyes
that wince at the light of the setting suns, eyes
that blur with tears. He sees a tiny human face
reflected. He is finally who he wants to be,
finally where he wants to be, finally with the
person he wants to be with as the person he
wants to be for her. This is not a dream. It is
not an illusion. It is not an imaginary story.
He is neither clone nor doppelganger. She is
neither android nor impostor. He is not a time-
stolen twin. She is not a pawn in a despot's plot.
He is himself for the first time in two centuries
and she is here with him. As night arrives the
cooling air settles on his skin. He looks up at the
stars as they begin to appear, unable to isolate
or identify the frequencies of their light. He looks
at her and cannot gauge her pulse-rate, does not
see the infrared halo caused by the warmth of
her body. He is finally by her side and he will
never leave her side again. Together they will
mourn the dead. Together they will grieve for the
lost and the wounded and together they will love
each other as human beings have loved each other
for as long humans have called this universe home.
Yeah arts funding's pretty fucked and all
I've been taking an interest in recent conversations around Federal arts funding, particularly the part where it just keeps on getting hacked to fuck by a government that seems not to give two shits about what arts finding is even for other than generating photo opportunities in marginal seats and propping up already-adequately-funded practitioners of some goddamn Victorian-era Oxbridge concept of "high" art as practised by people with relatively secure and well-established careers.
I've gotten pretty sick of how pissweak either of the major parties' arts funding policies are, and the egregious contempt being shown by the current government for both art in general and the people in the crosshairs of all the funding cuts, so for most of June I replaced everything on my site with a statement to that effect in protest and in acknowledgement of the fact that, if it weren't for the federal arts funding that supported all of the organisations I worked with when I got my start as a writer, I realistically wouldn't be a writer today.
You can read that statement here, which includes links to ways you can petition the government (and aspirational government) to restore or even, god forbid, improve funding to the arts in Australia.
I made another book of poems
I recently heard back in the negative from Tupelo Press, the US publisher to whom I sent a poetry manuscript as part of their Dorset Prize (judged by the dulcet Robert Pinsky no less), but that's cool because now I have a poetry manuscript to send out to other publishers.
I added a few more poems that I'd written or finished while waiting to hear back, and now You Should Have Killed the Monkey First is just waiting for me to get some feedback from a few readers before I compile a list of publishers and send that baby out into the world.
Those of you keeping track will note that YSHKTMF joins Poem: Spaceknight and Super Giant Combatron Mega 7 as the third completed manuscript of poems bouncing around Chez Ford at the moment, so I think my workload is probably going to shift from writing mode to editing-slash-submission mode for a while, if not the rest of the year. We shall see.
Get Yer Anticline Here!
After a minor setback due to vandalism, my poem about Castlemaine's anticlinal fold has been reinstalled atop said geological feature on the corner of Lyttleton and Urquhart Streets in Castlemaine. Free copies of this teeny poetry booklet can once again be had for the taking by anyone passing by.
Furthermore, a second collection of booklets has been geocached opposite Chewton's own anticlinal fold, the existence of which was recently pointed out in an article in the Chewton Chat. That box can be found just down from the railway overpass on Railway Street in Chewton, beside the walking track that advantages a clear and distinct view of the fold.
And as far as I know the poem can also be had by those of you in Melbourne from the legendary Sticky Institute underneath Flinders Street Station.
If anyone is aware of other anticlinal folds that should be adorned with piles of tiny poetry booklets, do get in touch.
Some of the things I've been reading
Been reading lots of new-release Australian poetry books as it happens, like:
- Joel Deane's Year of the Wasp, dark visionary poetry mainly about recovering from a stroke, but also things like running over foxes and the toughest, most realistic and convincing love poem I've read in a long time.
- Natalie Harkin's Dirty Words, an A-Z of powerful, angry and heartfelt responses to the insidious and cruel bureaucratic language that frames the Indigenous experience in contemporary Australia
- Rachael Briggs's Common Sexual Fantasies, Ruined is pretty damn funny and pretty damn clever, straddling an intriguing place between experimental and traditional forms with a distinctive and fun little light-verse note.
- Andy Jackson's Immune Systems, which puts a spin on travel poetry by drawing on Jackson's travels in India and his insights into medical tourism.
I also read Justin Heazlewood's Funemployed, which is a funny-sad memoir-slash-how-to-guide about how hard a slog it can be to hang up a shingle as a full-time artist in Australia, drawing on his own experiences as a musician-cum-comedian-slash-writer. It was nice to see my own damage and foibles reflected in someone else's actions in a way that created a sense of solidarity and encouraged us both to do better next time.
Funemployed got turned into a Radio National documentary series a while back. Which is nice.
I've also been listening the bejesus out of Beyonce's Lemonade and Megan Washington's I Believe You Liar and deriving as much inspiration from their songwriting as the poetry I've been reading. (Seriously. "The Beginning of the End of the World" in Poem: Spaceknight, was completely rewritten after I binge-listened to "Don't Hurt Yourself" on repeat for an hour on the way to work.) You should own these albums. Yes, both of them.
Finally I just re-read all of the issues released so far in "Acedia", volume 3 of Matt Fraction's ongoing Casanova comic series. If you've never encountered Casanova before, it's possibly the coolest and most visually striking game-changing science-fiction superspy neopulp hyperintelligent-popcultural comic ever made. Ev. Er.
The titular hero is Casanova Quinn, a dimension-hopping double-agent who looks like a cross between Jagger and Steve Tyler and rocks a lanky, catlike cool that Alan Cumming and Tilda Swinton wish they had.
As well as the current volume coming out chapter by chapter there are two complete volumes out there, "Gula" and "Luxuria". You can order print copies at all good bookstores – just tell them it comes out through Image Comics – or digitally through the Image Comics website.

A general approach to NR-stabilized metal colloids in organic phases†
- †
We thank Prof. R. Courths (Universität-Gesamthochschule Duisburg) for the XPS spectra obtained using an ESCALAB Mark II and Dr. B. Tesche (Fritz-Haber-Institut, Berlin) for TEM photographs with a Siemens Elmiskop 102 and DEEKO 100 at 100 eV. We are grateful to Drs. R. Brand and A. Freund (Degussa AG) for supplying commercial catalysts for comparison.
The stabilization of metal particles in a recent synthesis of colloidal transition metals was achieved by combining the stabilizing agent (NR) with the reducing agent (NR4BEt3H). The disadvantages inherent to this method (the cost of the reducing agent synthesis and the need for stoichiometric amounts of stabilizing agent) have been overcome in the development reported here: NR-stabilized (isolatable) metals of groups 6‒11 are produced by coupling the stabilizing agent to the metal salt that is to be reduced and reducing with simple inorganic and organic reducing agents. These isolatable colloid powders are precursors to highly active homogeneous and heterogeneous metal colloid catalysts.

Joint Strike Fighter:
Restructuring Places Program on Firmer Footing, but Progress Is Still Lagging

The F-35 Lightning II, also known as the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), is the Department of Defense's (DOD) most costly and ambitious aircraft acquisition, seeking to simultaneously develop and field three aircraft variants for the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and eight international partners. The JSF is critical for recapitalizing tactical air forces and will require a long-term commitment to very large annual funding outlays. The estimated total investment cost is currently about $385 billion to develop and procure 2,457 aircraft. Because of a history of relatively poor cost and schedule outcomes, defense leadership over the past 15 months has directed a comprehensive restructuring of the JSF program that is continuing. This testimony draws substantially from our extensive body of work on the JSF including our April 2011 report, the latest annual review mandated in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010, Pub. L. No. 111-84 244 (2009). This testimony discusses (1) program cost and schedule changes and their implications on affordability; (2) progress made during 2010; (3) design and manufacturing maturity; and (4) test plans and progress. GAO's work included analyses of a wide range of program documents and interviews with defense and contractor officials.
DOD continues to restructure the JSF program, taking positive, substantial actions that should lead to more achievable and predictable outcomes. Restructuring has consequences--higher up-front development costs, fewer aircraft in the near term, training delays, and extended times for testing and delivering capabilities to warfighters. Total development funding is now estimated at $56.4 billion to complete in 2018, a 26 percent cost increase and a 5-year schedule slip from the current baseline. DOD also reduced procurement quantities by 246 aircraft through 2016, but has not calculated the net effects of restructuring on total procurement costs nor approved a new baseline. Affordability for the U.S. and partners is challenged by a near doubling in average unit prices since program start and higher estimated life-cycle costs. Going forward, the JSF requires unprecedented funding levels in a period of more austere defense budgets. The program had mixed success in 2010, achieving 6 of 12 major goals and progressing in varying degrees on the rest. Successes included the first flight of the carrier variant, award of a fixed-price aircraft procurement contract, and an accelerated pace in development flight tests that accomplished three times as many flights in 2010 as the previous 3 years combined. However, the program did not deliver as many aircraft to test and training sites as planned and made only a partial release of software capabilities. The short takeoff and landing (STOVL) variant had significant technical problems and deficient flight test performance. DOD directed a 2-year period to evaluate and engineer STOVL solutions. After more than 9 years in development and 4 in production, the JSF program has not fully demonstrated that the aircraft design is stable, manufacturing processes are mature, and the system is reliable. Engineering drawings are still being released to the manufacturing floor and design changes continue at higher rates than desired. More changes are expected as testing accelerates. Test and production aircraft cost more and are taking longer to deliver than expected. Manufacturers are improving operations and implemented 8 of 20 recommendations from an expert panel, but have not yet demonstrated a capacity to efficiently produce at higher production rates. Substantial improvements in factory throughput and the global supply chain are needed. Development testing is still early in demonstrating that aircraft will work as intended and meet warfighter requirements. About 4 percent of JSF capabilities have been completely verified by flight tests, lab results, or both. Only 3 of the extensive network of 32 ground test labs and simulation models are fully accredited to ensure the fidelity of results. Software development--essential for achieving about 80 percent of the JSF functionality--is significantly behind schedule as it enters its most challenging phase.

As we go to press, thirteen U.S. cardinals are meeting with the pope and his advisers in an effort to formulate a response and a policy that can restore the church's credibility in the wake of the sex-abuse scandal. Will this extraordinary meeting succeed at its appointed task? After initially seeming to ignore the crisis, the pope and the Roman bureaucracy made a sudden turnabout, apparently after being convinced of the magnitude of the problem by visiting American bishops and Cardinal Bernard Law. It is good that Rome has finally recognized the gravity of the situation. But if the pope continues to rely on Law as well as a few other prominent conservative American bishops and theologians, it is unlikely that he or the Vatican will come to understand the depth and scale of the mistrust felt by a significant portion of the laity toward much of the church's hierarchy. Certainly the pope and the church's cardinals and bishops must correct the mistakes of the past. But the high drama of summoning the cardinals to Rome should not detract attention from the fact that, with few exceptions, these very men-and unfortunately John Paul II must be included here-are the ones responsible for much of the damage in the first place. Preliminary reports on the meeting's agenda give some reason for optimism. The Vatican and the American bishops now recognize the importance of putting in place a coordinated nationwide policy for...

Skip to comments.The Haynes Disgrace (More RINO droppings from Lindsey Graham)
Posted on 01/11/2007 7:37:48 AM PST by eartotheground
Republican officials said yesterday that four controversial appeals-court nominees have asked the White House to withdraw their names from Senate consideration. Among them is William "Jim" Haynes II, whom President Bush first nominated to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, on September 29, 2003. -snip- Mr. Haynes is a victim of elite Washington's fickle support for anti-terror measures and South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham's desire for the media spotlight. -snip- Mr. Graham joined Democrats in blocking him to settle a political score. Mr. Haynes is general counsel of the Pentagon, where his transgression in the days following the 9/11 attacks was to do his job with too much determination to protect the country. That meant offering legal analysis to Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on the treatment of detainees -- advice that critics later distorted as condoning "torture."
Mr. Graham has basked in media attention for opposing President Bush on detainees, and he has every right to disagree on policy. But for reasons of ego or retribution or something, he has also insisted on embarrassing the White House by blocking Mr. Haynes's nomination. Mr. Haynes has many supporters in the Palmetto State, where he has ancestral ties that go back before the Revolution. Mr. Graham's treatment of a favorite son is a disgraceful episode, and one that South Carolina Republicans will want to consider if the Senator faces a primary challenge in 2008.

Posted yesterday.
Lindsey Graham needs to be retired big time. Governor Mark Sanford would be the ideal replacement. This is a conservative, well-run state. It doesn't need to be represented by a Nancy Boy RINO which, sadly, is probably the best we can do in Pennsylvania.
Lidsey Graham - who was b-slapped by SCOTUS for being a sitting senator making military laws while being a sitting USAF judge interpreting the laws.
not much point in posting a article where we can't read anything but the first paragraphs
click on the link at the end of the excerpt. You would think WSJ would let FR post the entire article, but what do I know
I am so sorry to have committed the heinous crime of "repeat posting". I plead guilty. I understand that I have a choice of punishment
1. Hanging
2. Listening to LG speak for more than 90 seconds
And you have been her since 98?? :(
Yes, it heinous!! LG for 90 seconds! Be gone!!
(Next week I get to be hall monitor.)
LOL! At least you're a good sport for a hall monitor
So who is being lined up to run against this pansy?
Sorry, you can't be a hall monitor without paying the hall monitor's user fee.
Just make out the check to me.
Last I heard, nobody. South Carolina left their balls in the voting booth when they rubberstamped McCain and ignored Fred Thompson.
Well, even then he got what? A third of the vote? This isn't like Reagan was in 1980 racking up 80-90% of the vote around this time back then.
Thank you for the post, I missed it yesterday.... here is a link that accurately describes what John McCain's Gang of 14 did..
For awhile, we were thinking of retirement in SC.
FYI, Buddy Witherspoon is running against Pandsey. But he has his own problems. Google his name.
Lindsey Ping
"Republican by day, Democrat by night."
Four years ago I spent six months researching where to retire. I finally settled on the Aiken, SC area. Moved here from Louisville, KY and have never been happier.
Friendly people, nice weather, plenty of amenities. This place is great!
Yup, that's a problem. Too many folks retire and move down here and immediately try to turn us into the high-tax, liberal hell-hole they just left.
You should hear how surprised some new arrivals are that (outside of city limits) we have wells and septic tanks, we haul off our own garbage or pay a private company to do it and we have volunteer fire departments. I always smile at them and ask "Didn't you wonder why your annual property taxes are less then $200?"
Pandsey is an embarrassment. He changed his stripes once he got to DC and now he has a huge war-chest of cash and the backing of the left and middle. The dems aren't even going to field a challenger, if we don't take him out in the primary he skates back into office.
McCain...he carried the retirees big-time and has the GOP establishment in his pocket, he has been down here courting them for the last three years. Splitting the vote 4 ways didn't help matters. (5 ways, if you count the RonPaulers.)
I voted for Thompson and attended one of his "Meet Fred" events during his bus tour of SC. He ran a lousy campaign.
I'm glad this thread came back to life but I posted it more than a year ago!
