The fall out from that activity caused by Mr. Caine is described in horrid detail with many twists and turns...

The state does not currently tax pensions or retirement funds such as 401(k) plans, but Cullerton told a City Club of Chicago luncheon that should take place as part of an overall look at what he said was Illinois' "outdated" tax system. "It would just be a matter of fairness," said Cullerton, a Chicago Democrat.

Sad to say that any other pistols, long guns, slingshots and / or any other 2nd Amendment Tools that may have been lost in a tragic boating accident...there is a $500 gift cert that has been acquired and needs to be disposed of. Top choices available are to purchase / trade for the gift cert are: Ruger 10/22, Henry 16+1 with Octagonal barrel or Remington 597 in .22LR with a nice little 4 x 32 scope. Will use for range & target and upcoming Appleseed. It would be nice to still have the .22Mag Marlin to keep it company... Thoughts,...

My GMC 2002 Envoy has tripped over 113,000 miles. While still in great condition and it is not costing me anything other than gas and oil for now, I am quite tempted to move it out of the garage and get a 2010 Toyota Highlander, Limited Trim package, NON-hybrid. With the economy on the edge, I have a pre-approved loan through my State Farm group at 3.49% @36 mos. but ONLY until 10/31/10. Toyota will match this rate plus $750 cash back. They also have 2 years of free maintenance for routine things. So, who has experience with the Highlander...

Spring has sprung in Alaska, and with this beautiful season comes the news today that the Palins have a new neighbor! Welcome, Joe McGinniss! Yes, that Joe McGinniss. Here he is – about 15 feet away on the neighbor’s rented deck overlooking my children’s play area and my kitchen window.

Upon my family’s return this morning from endorsement rallies and speeches in the Lower 48 states, I finally got the chance to tackle my garden and...
