A local “tea party” will be held from 2-4 PM at the Lancaster bandstand. Click for details. A recent Rasmussen Poll said that only 18% say South Caraolina governor Mark Sanford’s ethical standards are lower than other politicians. 46% said he should resign. Only 46%? WTH? If a man will cheat on his wife I don’t understand how a man can be considered to handle public affairs. We should expect the highest moral stands from our politicians regardless of party. you might be a king (of pop) Death - Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey Shoulda Melvined him! UPDATE: In case you have not gotten this information from other media sources - Michael Jackson is still dead. President Obama said in his latest press conference that he “strongly condemn these unjust action” - the government of Iran shooting it’s own citizens from rooftops and beating them in the streets for staging peaceful protests. Meanwhile, the president has invited Iranian diplomats around the world to party with them at American embassies on July 4th. The invitation has not been rescinded. Un-fricken-believable! Today Rasmussen reports (click here) that during his time in office Obama’s approval rating has fallen for +30 the day after inauguration to yesterday’s lowest rating of -2. The rating is derived by subtracting the percentage of people that strongly disapprove of Obama’s performance from the percentage of those that strongly approve of his performance. Think you’ll hear that little tidbit on NBC - the National Barack Channel? It was announced today that Ohio’s unemployment rate is up to 10.8% in May up from 10.2% in April. I have always wondered why you can keep a plant alive with tap water, but it does not really grown until you get a good thunderstorm. I did some research and found out that it is the lightning that adds the magic ingredient. It seems that lightning is powerful enough to convert the nitrogen in the atmosphere to nitrates that the plants love. Also, rain water is free of chemicals used to purify our water. Most of the places that I researched that you save rain water to water your houseplants - they love it too. The current storm should be a real boost to your veggies. Just keep it in mind this gardening season that if you get too excess tomatoes or zucchinis the local food pantries love donations of fresh veggies. Later in the season I will post a list of where you can drop them off. Maybe I’m the last to know, but Glass City Barbecue is now closed. The sign on the door says that it was closed by order of the Fairfield County Board of Health. It lasted longer than I thought it would. When $100,000 was pledged to save a bit of Lancaster History - the old grandstand those pledging the money were lambasted. There were many that said “In this economic climate there are plenty of people that need food, children that are abused, and on and on”. Seems funny that these people aren’t lambasting those entities that donated thousands of dollars for the July 4th fireworks instead of donating that money to those that need food. I wonder why? |
