Loading ...Racism?
Here is somethig that was forwarded to me in an email. Since election time is closing in we should all think about who to vote for very carefully. Most importantly though, GET OUT AND VOTE. In the meantime read this….
Obama/Biden vs. McCain/Palin – what if things were switched around? Think about it. Would the country’s collective point of view be different? Could racism be the culprit?
Ponder the following:
What if… the Obamas had paraded five children across the stage, including a three-month-old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter?
What if… John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review?
What if… Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?
What if… McCain had only married once, and Obama was a divorcee?
What if… Obama was the candidate who left his first wife after a severe disfiguring car accident, when she no longer measured up to his standards?
What if… Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a long affair while he was still married?
What if… Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to painkillers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?
What if… Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?
What if… Obama had been a member of the Keating Five? (The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s.)
What if… McCain was a charismatic, eloquent speaker?
What if… Obama couldn’t read from a teleprompter?
What if… Obama was the one who had military experience that included discipline problems and a record of crashing planes?
What if… Obama was the one who was known to display publicly, on many occasions, a serious anger management problem?
What if… Michelle Obama’s family had made their money from beer distribution?
You could easily add to this list. If these questions reflected reality, do you really believe the election numbers would be as close as they are?
This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes positive qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative qualities in another when there is a color difference.
Educational Background:
Barack Obama: Columbia University – B.A. Political Science with a Specialization in International Relations. Harvard – Juries Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude
Joseph Bidden: University of Delaware – B.A. in History and B.A. in Political Science. Syracuse University College of Law – Juris Doctor (J.D.)
John McCain: United States Naval Academy – Class rank: 894 of 899
Sarah Palin: Hawaii Pacific University – 1 semester, North Idaho College – 2 semesters general study, University of Idaho – 2 semesters journalism, Matanuska-Susitna College – 1 semester, University of Idaho – 3 semesters – B.A. in Journalism.
Education isn’t everything, but this is about the two highest offices in the land as well as our standing in the world. You make the call. .

Halloween
Halloween is almost here and you know what that means. Lots of people visiting Burnt Mill Road hoping to catch a glimse of the Atco Ghost. Not that people don’t try all year round but Halloween, being the holiday of ghosts and goblins, seems to attract avid ghost hunters and paranormal seekers from all over. ME, I’ll stay at home and drink hot cider. And Maybe I’ll get me a copy of the movie that is coming out on the subject. The Delaware Vally Paranormal Association is releasing a double feature DVD, Tales Of The Atco Ghost and The Downingtown Twin Tunnels. A personal Documentary of their paranormal exploration of these well know stories. You can find it here http://www.delvalparanormal.org/

The Birkenmeier Plan
We found this to be a very intersting idea from T.J. Birkenmier. And mathmatically sound!! He says:
I’m against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG. Instead, I’m in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend. To make the math simple, let’s assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+. Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up. So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion that equals $425,000.00.
My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend. Of course, it would NOT be tax free. So let’s assume a tax rate of 30%. Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes. That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam. But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket. A husband and wife has $595,000.00.
What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family? Pay off your mortgage – housing crisis solved. Repay college loans – what a great boost to new grads. Put away money for college – it’ll be there. Save in a bank – create money to loan to entrepreneurs. Buy a new car – create jobs. Invest in the market – capital drives growth. Pay for your parent’s medical insurance – health care improves. Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean – or else. Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting back… and of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.

Cool Place To Go
We are all probably limiting our travels these days or better put, trying not to hit the gas station more than we have to. So in search of close places to go and have a good time we went to Coffee Works Cafe in Voorhees this past friday night and saw two fantastic musical artists perform. Liz Longley and Will Knox. The place was crowded but comfortable and NO CHARGE to get in. The music was free. They just want you to come and eat or drink coffee. Food was good and the coffee was very good. Lots of really friendly people there too. I highly recomend this place as a nice cool place to hang out. Oh and free wireless access so you can bring your laptop. They are also BYOB friendly which makes it even better. Check them out sometime. They are in the Ritz Theater Center on Berlin Road in Voorhees. They have live music on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. www.coffee-works.com
The Courier Post was there taking pictures. Take a look!

Larry asked Jon if America was ready for a woman or a black president.
Jon looked at him quizzically and said ’This is such a non-question … Did anyone ask us in
2000 if Americans were ready for a MORON ?
