He seems to be a good man. He has been a complete failure as a president though. History will regard him as one of the worst US Presidents. I think George Bush is a fine man and American, IMO.

rumor is, he also gets to park in the "employee of the month" spot the local thugs will think twice before they try to hold up that mexican grocery store again! ;D The employee should get a raise and a box of ammo as a Christmas bonus.

these tactics of surprise rate increasing, terms changing etc are only going to increase as these companies get more desperate. 2008 was the year of the mortgage and financial market meltdown and many are predicting that 2009 will be the year of the consumer credit industry meltdown. Rising unemployment numbers (like we are seeing today) tend to be a leading indicator of defaulting on debts such as credit card payments. The credit industry is far too competitive for you to have to put up with crap like that, case in point: I've held a Capitol One Platinum Mastercard for a number of years, but despite a good payment history they've never raised my limit above the original $5K, and recently jacked my rate from 13% to 16.9% for no apparent reason. Couple this with their lousy customer service, and insistance on sending me so called "convenience checks" in the mail despite me having told them more than once not to send them, and I was beginning to grind my teeth. Then, out of the blue, my bank(Chase) offered me a Platinum Visa with a rate of one third what Capital One charged and an $8500 dollar limit right off the bat. When I sent in the next payment to Capital One I also closed the account and instructed them to accept no further debits against the account, but the following month they sent me another statement, even though I had already transferred the balance to my new card. This time I enclosed a note restating that I had ordered the account closed, reminded them not to accept any further charges, and enclosed my card cut in half instructing them to put it somewhere safe and dark. Hehehe. This month they sent me a check for the outstanding credit, a bit over $10, and hopefully I won't be hearing from them again. Moral of the story? You don't have to take it, if they want your business they'll listen to you. If not, well, there's always another lender who will. When I got my new card it came with an interest free period of six months, I used that to finance a year of chiropractic care for my poor suffering wife. The doc wanted $3K for a year's treatment, but offered to instead accept the 20 visits my insurance would cover plus $990, less what we had paid in co-pays already($120) if we paid up front. Her treatment for the full year ended up costing me $870, which I paid up front with the (currently) interest free card, and then paid off the following month. Now wifey can see the doc for the next year without having to worry about the cost. Tell Dick's to shove it unless they give you your $150, once they do shop for a better deal with Bass Pro and Cabelas, I'd bet that they offer you a better deal to get your business. See if they'll transfer your Dick's credit when you talk to them, odds are that they will. With the current credit crunch stores are desparate to get new customers with good track records, take advantage of that.

I told the credit card companies where they can stick it a few years ago I pay cash for everything. Well I ranted about Dick's Credit (GE Services) eliminating the grace period, I was waiting for them to give me my rewards certf., I have $150.00 coming. Well guess what? They issued a Gift Certf. for $10.00 and forwarded the remaing points to next month. I assume this because my Rewards Acct. shows a positive balance worth about $150.00. And to top it off they reduced my credit limit (nevermind I paid off my balance every month in full). Talk about whizing good customers off. They have zero marketing skills. In hard times you want to keep your good customers. They get 3 - 5% on every purchase I made on the credit card; well they lost that. I haven't charge a thing on Dick's Card since Nov. Just waiting on them to send me my $150.00 Cerft. and it is bye bye. I'll call "Customer" Service once I calm down. It isn't the poor teleclerk's fault and I don't want to give him or her a hard time.

Employee Shoots Robber After Man Threatened Woman, Baby
POSTED: 7:28 am EST December 22, 2008 UPDATED: 7:39 am EST December 22, 2008
INDIANAPOLIS -- A grocery store employee shot and killed a robber who pointed a gun at a woman with a baby, police said.
Police responded to a holdup alarm just after 8 p.m. Sunday night at Tienda Suarez at 6240 W. 34th St., said Sgt. Matthew Mount.
When officers arrived, they found the suspect shot and critically injured. He was transported to Methodist Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Witnesses told police the man had ordered customers into one part of the grocery store, and then pointed a gun at a woman with a baby. That's when a store employee shot the suspect.
Mount said the shooting appeared to be justified. Police will turn over the results of their investigation to the Marion County Prosecutor's office, which will determine if any charges should be filed.
The suspect's name had not been released.

ole GW did show some good reflexes, might have got me with the first shoe also ;D Here is some more info I read: the best line clearly is: "This is a gift from the Iraqis; this is the farewell kiss, you dog!" The journalist, Muntather al-Zaidi, 28, a correspondent for the Iraqi station al-Baghdadia, shouted in Arabic: "This is a gift from the Iraqis; this is the farewell kiss, you dog!" He then threw a shoe at Mr Bush, who ducked and narrowly avoided it. Zaidi then threw his other shoe, shouting in Arabic: "This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq!" Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's security agents jumped on Zaidi and hustled him out of the room. He was detained on unspecified charges. Mr Bush tried to brush off the incident. "All I can report is it is a size 10," Like him or not, he still has good reflexes. That guy's aim was good, especially considering the asymmetrical projectile. He probably would have got me.

Violent examples like this cry out for Congressional Legislative hearings and tougher laws.
We should demand "Shoe Control". This man should have been wearing "Shoe Lace Locks" We should demand a 7 day waiting period for the purchase of shoes, and demand that shoes be registered.

My brothers and I have busted a few greene county whitetails on drives over the years ;D I don't think this is just a Wisconsin thing. There's still a LOT of Indiana families getting together for drives. My family did it when I was a kid. Most the dad's were coal miners and sometimes because of layoffs/strikes, wild game was the only meat you had. We sure weren't huntin' horns, I know that. The closest I get to a drive anymore is a 2 man "push" once in a while. But I'm sure not gonna bash a family that wants to get together for a perfectly legal deer drive.

Deer drives happen on public land in IN right now. While party hunting is illegal in IN, deer drives are perfectly legal. Not for every area, situation, or every hunter, but drives are an exciting and different way to hunt deer. I hope that you all don't think that I am against any legal method of hunting. I am not. If deer drives is what someone wants to do and it is legal - they can knock themselves out doing it. Not my cup of tea and my personal opinion is if we have the deer gun season out of the rut then that will happen more and more frequently. Again, in my opinion, deer drives especially on public hunting areas will make deer hunting less enjoyable.

deer drives and hunting like that are a way of life in many places like WI
warming a treestand seat or bucket is not how they hunt up there and that's cool with me

very interesting read. hopefully one result of all of this is a weakening of the union hold so the american companies can compete once again. those line workers at GM making $75/hour have had it too good for too long
