Obama tries a three cushion carom with his latest Cabinet choices: Jacob Lew, Chuck Hagel and, (shudder) Hanoi John Kerry! With that Unholy Trinity in office, the Republic is doomed!

As obama's job-killing policies and the economy carom down the road, more rats are abandoning ship.

The whole administration seems hell bent on ruining the economy. Layoffs have been circling the local plant. Gloom and doom are everywhere. A+++

I’ve never been in one, but have had their bagels. They’re huge, but they try to be too fancy and don’t have normal, regular flavors. Other than “plain.” Not an egg or onion to be found.

Panera’s French Toast Bagels are to die for. I brought home 2 Cinnamon Crunch to try tomorrow morning. Lots of the ladies have small Bible studies there. Lots of biz meetings, bc they have free wifi. I love the place. Breakfast food that is NOT greasy. I like their sandwiches, soups and salads as well. My son didn’t like it there bc the sandwiches were more lady sized than he liked.
