Quote and Song of the Day!

quote and song of the day

It was once said, "You have to stand for something or you'll fall for anything." The elections remind me of just that.

Today's song of the day is "Won't Back Down," by Tom Petty.

Lyrics:

Well I won't back down, no I won't back down
You could stand me up at the gates of hell

But I won't back down

Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

Chorus
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won't back down

Well I know what's right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I'll stand my ground and I won't back down

Hey baby there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won't back down

"You could stand me up at the gates of hell, But I won't back down" = one of my favorite quotes ever.

Amanda, beer is just wonderful. I can remember the first tastes of my dad's freshly cracked openRead More brews when I was just a wee one. That was common in my day - you're dad would give you a little swig. I think it goes back to their lives back in Europe when kids were taught to appreciate it rather than drink it to get drunk.

Terry Bove's, end of Greenwood...
Amanda B. Gillooly June 16, 2013 at 07:59 pm
Joe - I was on vacation and could not attend. However, I have to call John Bevec tomorrow on anotherRead More issue, and will ask.
seriously June 19, 2013 at 01:28 pm
Uh, and "faux name?" REALLY? Do you old timers realize how dangerous it is to give outRead More your real identity? Nah, I don't think you do.
seriously June 19, 2013 at 02:04 pm
And how many posters here have either been direct political foes of White's or relatives of?Read More Hahahahahahahah. No ulterior motive here, huh? Sheesh. So transparent you are.
seriously June 19, 2013 at 02:06 pm
And Rog, your incessant use of "we" suggests some kind of mob mentality. Just a slip onRead More your part or is it the truth?
Jamie Jones June 10, 2013 at 09:53 am
So now you guys are gonna be bullies? Get real. I guess you gotta do what you gotta do to makeRead More yourselves feel okay, but attacking others doesn't help. Just makes you look stupid !
Callie Munch June 12, 2013 at 03:29 pm
Amanda is also on vacation.
James Barth June 16, 2013 at 03:06 pm
Thomas Smith, I sent an email to Amanda, and, the automatic reply stated she was on vacation. IRead More see that your comment has not been deleted. Are you going to write an apology? As far as telling Donald that "activists only like their version of the Truth!!!", think, for a second, to whom you are writing. What is Donald, if not an activist. Full disclosure (again): I am an activist. By the way, I saw a comment you made a couple of years ago in ProPublica, stating that you were 77 years old (so, you must be 79 now, congratulations). Are you not an "activist"?

Dear Me...there were never 31 comments on this thread.
Me June 19, 2013 at 08:32 pm
Did you count them?
Jamie Jones June 19, 2013 at 08:39 pm
it shows how many comments at the top of each page. So yes, I did. And on this particular thread,Read More there were never 31 comments.

Yeah the fake Solobay tweets were highly, and I mean highly inappropriate. They are way moreRead More disturbing than anything that has come out yet. Surprisingly the account was suspended an hour after the article was posted. Hmmm. There are also fake accounts for Larry Maggi @notlarrymaggi and rep Christiana @fakejimmy15. They are pretty embarrassing as well. If Prouder American or Frank Renyolds are reading this how about shutting them down. Thank you
Thomas Smith June 8, 2013 at 10:18 am
Donald the Washington county DA will be coming up with the appropriate charges if he can. I guessRead More you will have to be satisfied with that for now. My question is what what happens when he resigns, or his party asks him to step down. Will our district have a special election? Does the Gov. appoint someone to the seat? How will we get a voice again since we don't have one now.

I bought local honey for my son's allergies, but he doesn't like the texture of honey. Therefore, IRead More do not know how well it works on allergy reliefe. BUT... I do know that there are different kinds of local honey. You need to know what airborn allergies affect you the most. I bought pure wild flower honey at the Pumpkin Festival in Houston in the fall. The guys name was Perry Arlia and he is from Washington. 724-225-3701 and 724-986-9848 are the phone numbers on his card that I got with the honey. He's known as the Beekeeper. I hope this much helps you. Good luck!
Chuck Kaezyk III June 7, 2013 at 01:51 pm
Thanks!
Jamie Jones June 13, 2013 at 07:58 am
I was going to recommend the same guy to you. We buy his honey all the time, it's wonderful. HeRead More knows the answer to any questions you have. He's awesome.
