    So, with Sears and K-Mart combining forces to become the third largest retailer in the world, are they going to kick some Walmart butt? Will Craftsman tools still come with a lifetime guarantee??

    Will the real fraud please stand up?

    According to the New York Times, a left-wing publication by any standards, the vote fraud theories are false, and are proven to be so. I don't much like cutting and pasting articles in their entirety, but am doing so since one cannot access NYT articles without registering. _____ Vote Fraud...

    Merry Christmas! Or not....

    Almost time to buy the Christmas cards... but wait, do you still send them out? If not, what made you stop? Do you buy cards that say 'Merry Christmas' or 'Happy Holidays or does it matter in the least? If you choose 'Happy Holidays' (or whatever) is it because you feel it is insensitive to...
