• Donations to Mercury One Help Victims of the Indiana Tornadoes

  March 6, 2012 at 12:00pm

  Thank you to The Blaze for trying to help with the relief efforts. As a resident of the affected region I can tell you that it is appreciated!

  POPESTER7,
  The DHS spokesperson quoted in this article is my sister-in-law,her sister,my wife’s other sister,resided in Henryville and has suffered some damage to her home,I live in adjacent Jefferson County and I can tell you that although I greatly dislike MSNBC they are correct to say that those wanting to help should take a moment and assess what help they can offer. The local Red Cross AND the Salvation Army chapter’s here in Jefferson County are coordinating relief efforts with those in the Henryville and Greater Clark County area and they stated yesterday that they no longer are taking material donations for the disaster relief efforts but are instead now in need of monetary donations.

  The Jeffersonville(Indiana) Red Cross site is: http://www.miltonfireandrescue.org/donate.html
  This is the Salvation Army’s website: http://l.wbx.me/l/?p=1&instId=f39bafd4-eb04-4e08-80de-140316bf73d0&token=5437b2cc2e30d5b85c73b039cd1c5e7d2274d13400000135db5662d0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.salvationarmyusa.org%2F%3Fp%3D10424

• Amish Men Jailed for Refusing to Mark Horse-Drawn Buggies with Orange Reflective Signs

  January 13, 2012 at 10:30am

  The Amish choose to live simply,according to the rules of their specific order and they hav every right to do so. However although their lifestyle is not illegals that doen‘t give them the right to decide which laws they’re going to obey. They don‘t get a pass on this issue just because their order doesn’t like the signs,Amish must obey the law just like anyone else and the law states that slow -moving vehicles must carry these signs.
  This article doesn’t discuss the fact that there had been a compromise on this issue but for some reason that solution is no longer acceptable:
  “Gingerich keeps a file cabinet drawer full of court papers on his farm. One is a 2004 letter from Cunningham, the Graves County Attorney, who said the Amish buggies could use gray reflective tape and hanging lanterns.

  That’s just what Gingerich and his friends did, but he said they began receiving tickets a few years ago.

  Cunningham “says he sent letters out to let us know that law is not validated anymore,” Gingerich said. He said he never received the letter.”
  ( http://news.yahoo.com/amish-men-wont-budge-buggy-fight-190250184.html )

  The idea that this band of Amish aren’t hurting anyone by not having a light source or a reflective sign on their buggies is foolish. By not dong so they are putting themselves and other users of the public roadways at risk of serious injury or death. Their decision to not abide by the law in this instance is selfish.

• DNA Analysis Debunks Long-Held Belief on ‘Yeti Finger’

  In reply to cranberry.

  Elephants,gorillas,and many,many other animals were considered to be made up by attention seeking loud mouths at one point in history too. There’s nothing inherently unbelievable about the idea that there could be a large primate out there that science refuses to consider as real. Science and our understanding of the natural world is always changing so ridiculing the idea of yeti’s/sasquatches being actual animals is rather silly.
  By the way those familiar with previous yeti relics will recall the story of the yeti scalps that were housed in a Hiamalayan monastery that,when tested and thourouhly analyzed,were found to be something more akin to a reindeer. I‘m not dismissing anyone’s religious beliefs but just bear in mind that things like the shroud of Turin has it’s believers and detractors too. The shroud itself is real(tangible) but the long held belief that it once covered Christ has yet to be verified by science.
  Lack of proor is not proof itself.

• These Are Some Of The Biggest Product Flops of 2011

  In reply to SoulReaver.

  The bailout was a bad idea no matter which president or political party backed it. Electric vehicles are NOT practical,yet. There’s no reason not to continue to work to develop them but the crap that was put out there surrounding this ill-conceived notion that the Volt was somehow better than any other electric vehicle that had preceded it in the market was just that,crap.
  I would like to think that by this point in time everyone understands just how environmentally destructive hybrids and EV’s are. A vehicle that causes more pollution to be created BEFORE it’s various parts are even assembled is not the kind of thing the world needs nore of.

  By the way congratulations on not being a parrot of Glenn Beck’s words,although I hate to inform you that there is a certain resemblance between your comments and those of talking heads that sit on teh other side of aisle. I’m sure that somehow exempts YOU from parrot status though.

• The End? Sears to Close 100-120 Kmart and Sears Stores

  December 27, 2011 at 3:46pm

  In reply to IMPEACHBHO.

  They already have Sears Hardware stores. Stand-alone stores that focus on hardware and appliances. I dunno if any of those will be affected by these planned closures.

• Watch Woman Cry Tears of Disgust Over Receiving Ron Paul Book for Christmas — Staged?

  Stupid,not staged. She’s apparently one of those that likes to over-react. Mom’s tone implies as much.

• The Next Ann Coulter? 20-Year-Old Pundit’s Blog Exposing Welfare Abuse Is a Hit

  December 17, 2011 at 5:21pm

  I worked in the grocery business for nearly a decade and I have no clue why her blog entry is sparking so much interest. Who in their right damn mind doesn’t already know that these kinds of things happen??
  Her blog smelled of self-promotion more than it did “shocking revelation”. Nothing newsworthy here.

  LiberalMarine:
  “Guiness is a Stout and Smithwicks is an Irish Ale.” Guinness is a stout,yes,but stouts are ALE’s by definition and Guinness meets that definition.

• More Fruit, Fewer Fries: Michelle Obama Might Have Taken the ‘Happy’ Out of McDonald’s Happy Meals

  Why is it bad that they want to make this healthier? I fail to understand the purpose of offering an extremely small fry AND the apples at the same time,it’s idiotic.
