      <description><![CDATA[, Habitat for Humanity, Boy Scouts, Boy's Club, Feed The Homeless. Sorry to barge in Smartman, but couldn't resist your blog on Get Involved. And how are YOU involved my man? @#$%&amp; about those who criticize the actions of the city leadership right. Real constructive, really involved. I thought ol strat moved to NC in April, so he's a lucky one, outta Dodge. I know 100 people who have lived in Middletown all their lives, have excellent incomes, retirement, who can't stand what the city has become, and would sell their home tomorrow if they could get tax value alone. Can't speak for strat, and I don't know anyone in Middletown in a high place. Does the Bash help those drink away the pain every other week SM, maybe a few need that relief. Cheers!]]></description>

Sitting around complaining on message boards accomplishes nothing. If you have credible ideas, I am sure those in power would be willing to listen. If you have spoken, well then I rest my case!

      <description><![CDATA[oh, wait, that was in the 2000 South Carolina primary....  

   Bush also said that McCain fathered a black child out of wedlock....

   I guess that lack of respect for military service is endemic in the Bush administration.  The only Bush official that wasn't a Chicken Hawk, that had real military experience, who had demonstrated bravery under enemy fire... was Colin Powell.

   The Bush Chicken Hawks made a total fool of Powell, sending him abroad and then contradicting him by press conferences at home.  Finally, they sent him to spout their lies about WMD and mushroom clouds and mobile chem / bio labs...  Powell, a man of honor in a den of thieves, resigned....

    (By the way, if the WMD are all in Syria now... why the hell are our troops still in Iraq???? )

    So ALL HAIL the True Patriots!  Those who have never served their country in battle.  Those who have never worn their countries' uniform.  Those who had better things to do!

   All Hail Cheney!
   All Hail Wolfowitz!
   All Hail Rumsfeld!
   All Hail Fiath!
   All Hail The True Chicken Hawk Patriots!

      <link>http://discussions.daytondailynews.com/read.php?4,65829,65829#msg-65829</link>
      <author>WTF?</author>
      <description><![CDATA[As automakers dropped their latest batch of awful sales numbers on the market on Tuesday, reinforcing the gloom spreading across the economy, the troubles confronting American workers seemed to intensify. Plummeting home prices have in recent months eliminated jobs for hundreds of thousands of people, from bankers and real estate agents to construction workers and furniture manufacturers. Tighter lending standards imposed by banks in the wake of huge mortgage losses have made it hard for many Americans to secure credit — the lifeblood of expansion in recent years — crimping the appetite of consumers, whose spending amounts to 70 percent of the economy.


#1. Joblessness has accelerated - Deepening Cycle of Job Loss Seen Lasting Into ’09 

#2. Automakers that sales plunged

#3. “It’s a slow-motion recession,” said Ethan Harris, chief United States economist for Lehman Brothers.

#4. “The labor market is clearly deteriorating, and it’s highly likely to keep deteriorating,” said Andrew Tilton, an economist at Goldman Sachs. 

#5. “Slowing wage growth and falling employment is absolutely toxic if your business is selling anything to consumers,” said Ian Shepherdson, chief United States economist for High Frequency Economics.

#6. “Slowing wage growth and falling employment is absolutely toxic if your business is selling anything to consumers,” said Ian Shepherdson, chief United States economist for High Frequency Economics.

#7. “Staggering Incompetence.” 

#8. So George Bush wants a legacy. Maybe precipitous economic decline, the widest gulf between the poor and the rich since the Great Depression and war without end don’t feel like a legacy to him. But his term as president didn’t just involve destroying our economy and waging unwinnable wars. None of that would have been possible without rampant corruption, a Congress that resembles a National Geographic special on jelly fish, and lots and lots of secrecy.No if there’s one thing this administration has: it’s legacy.


#9. Sen. Patrick Leahy, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee explained it succinctly, “The Bush Administration’s proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2007 … calls for deep cuts in crime-prevention programs that state and local police and sheriff’s departments have long relied upon, including key Justice Department efforts such as Byrne Grants, the Crime Victims Fund, the Bulletproof Vest Partnership Act and the Violence Against Women Act Programs.”

#10. Historians really don't like George Bush: 

A Pew Research Center poll of 109 leading historians found that 61 percent of them rank Bush as “worst ever” among U.S. presidents. Bush’s key competition comes from Buchanan, apparently, and a further 2 percent of the sample puts Bush right behind Buchanan as runner-up for “worst ever.” 96 percent of the respondents place the Bush presidency in the bottom tier of American presidencies. And was his presidency (it’s a bit wishful to speak of his presidency in the past tense–after all there are several more months left to go) a success or failure? On that score the numbers are still more resounding: 98 percent label it a “failure.”

This marks a dramatic deterioration for Bush. Previously he wasn’t viewed in the most positive terms, but there was a consensus that he wasn’t the “worst of the worst” either. That was in the spring of 2004. In the meantime, Bush has established himself as the torture president, the basis for his invasion of Iraq has been exposed as a fraud, the Iraq War itself has gone disastrously, the nation’s network of alliances has faded, and the economy has gone into a tailspin–not to mention the bungled handling of relief for victims of hurricane Katrina. In 2004, only 12 percent of historians were ready to place Bush dead last.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[City of Middletown pickup truck with yellow bubble light from street department parked at private residence- Manchester Road at the top of the steep hill over I-75 to the right going east on Manchester. It's there Saturday and Sunday mornings. Can a city vehicle be taken home for the weekend? Isn't that Warren County? Can a city vehicle be taken and parked outside the city? Anyone know the answer? It's your tax dollars, isn't it?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Lady Liberty, not the Statue of Open Borders and Unlimited Immigration Invasion of Our Nation, committing suicide with a gun because the Supreme Court reaffirmed the obvious interpretation of the US Constitution? Most women do not use guns to commit suicide, prefering pills, hanging, or jumping. Peters cartoon makes no sense.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I guess that I won't get an invite to the hayride, I fear, this year; despite the dozen years and estimated $25,000 that they have cost and lost me, considering a minimum 5% return on savings and CDs since 1996, including the dollar devaluation and inflation since then and the inattention and incompetence and financial ignorance of my former Nelson Poop Group friends. They even called the Beavercreek Police on me, one of my punk Nelson friends joining in with a nice young cop in a conference call; to intimidate, threaten and warn me about contacting them and visiting. Why so nervous? How many hundreds of other people have they lied to, conned and tricked? Some them are not as nice as I.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[who called John McCain a traitor in the 2000 South Carolina primary. A series of whispering campaigns, push polls, and outright lies alleged that John McCain signed anti-American statements while a POW. The alleged that torture broke McCain, and that he was brainwashed and sent back to the USA to seek the presidency. The original Hanoi Candidate. A Commie Traitor.  Bush and Rove smeared Johm McCain's patriotism. 

It was Bush and Rove who alleged that John McCain's adopted Bangladeshi daughter was in reality his biological daughter. Bush and Rove smeared John McCain's patriotism and his morals, aided by the &quot;Christians&quot; at Bob Jones University. 

It was Rush Limbaugh who touted John McCain's collapse under torture, holding McCain up as the poster boy for how torture really works... since &quot;John McCain betrayed his country&quot;. 

The most degrading part of this whole story is that John McCain really has been broken. Not by the North Vietnamiese, but by the Republicans... McCain is now trying to inherit the mantle of those who destroyed his reputation, his legacy, his achievements. It is the Chicken Hawks who have raped John McCain's military reputation, along with Max Cleland and John Kerry. Those who never served, those who never put their bodies in danger... those are the true Patriots. Bush. Rove. Rumsfeld. Cheney. Fiath. Bolton. The True Heros.]]></description>
