I have no idea what may have caused this. so I, like the rest of us will wait until the next Board meeting to learn a bit more.

Until then may I strongly suggest that any rumors, conjecture or he said / she said be left where they lie, as we really do not know anything more than he has resigned, period.

To that end please be advised that I will not allow ANY comment's from anyone who will not sign their real name (it will be verified.)

I think we owe it to Mr. Tennessen to allow him to tell his story in his own time, don't you?

Global warming, or is it?

I received this from a good friend who also happens to hold three PHD's, interesting to say the least.

" The Washington Post"


"The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulate, at Bergen , Norway .

Reports from fishermen, seal hunters, and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes.

Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well-known glaciers have entirely disappeared.

Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds. Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable."

"I apologize, I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922, as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post – 91 years ago."

The Call opines on the " protesters " at the Crestwood Court's, and to a lesser extent City Halll.

This editorial, as written by Mr. Mike Anthony of the Sun crest Call was contributed by a reader on the thread below. I had gotten some interesting responses so I decided to give it a thread by it's self.

If you wish to comment, please do so, but please remember that NO personal attacks, or name calling will be permitted here under "anonymous." If you wish to do that you will sign your real name or it will be deleted at once.

Now that said, may we have some non emotional factual comment's as to why Mr. Anthony is right or wrong in his assessment? I happen to believe he is right on target here for a number of reasons that I have and will share with you if requested. Now do you have the courage of your convictions to comment and sign your real name to your post so we know that your just not "politicking?"

Well this is certainly a bit of a sticky wicket for those who rammed through the worst piece of legislation I have ever seen, or heard of.

Union leaders are not at all happy about the lies told by the President and his democrat cronies reference "If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan."

No indeed, in fact they too have found that their health care cost's have indeed sky rocketed, and in some cases their rank and file have been excluded from insurance period.
