HOMEGROWN Road Trip Part 5: Seattle

We rolled into Seattle after tearing ourselves away from wonderful Portland, and – thanks to the most generous 10-year-old in all of Washington state – enjoyed a real bed to sleep in for a couple of days. Thank you, Bridget, for giving up your bedroom to these weary camper van-travelers! Bridget’s parents took us to [...] [...]

News That Matters- June 3, 2011 – Things To Do Edition

It appears the Congresswoman from NY’s 19th district has shut herself away from her constituents and she’s not alone! Ever since her party has moved to destroy our social safety net and forcefully transfer your money to the rich and powerful she, along… [...]

Here’s what’s really happening: The fossil fuel companies gouge the shit out of you to earn massive profits and everyone, from them to the talking heads to the government blames some outside, unseen force to deflect responsibility away from the gougers… [...]

After a little phone call to Burnwell yesterday afternoon they brought the price of their delivered 46.2 gallons of propane down from $8.599 a gallon ($408.10)to $4.999 a gallon ($241.37), saying that was fair. Based on the evidence collected from you, dear readers, to what you are paying with other companies, it is. But there’s still a note to the Attorney General’s office regarding price gouging on Burnwell/Inergey’s part (thanks, Bill), that should set some fires alight. I have to wonder how many customers simply pay the bill… [...]

News That Matters – Friday, May 13, 2011 – Things To Do Edition

Everyone has had their panties wadded up over the Marcellus shale for the past couple of years and that’s not even nearby. But as it turns out there’s another layer of shale that is under our very feet, the Utica Shale formation, and that one is next in line for deeper drilling and hydrofracking. I’m willing to bet Putnam County government is already preparing plans to allow that where it underlies Putnam Valley and Philipstown. [...]

News That Matters – Friday, April 29, 2011 – Things To Do Edition

Back in the day when we were kids and you had your lunch money stolen you’d run home and tell your mom who would call the other kid’s mom who would say, “My son would never do such a thing!” Then she’d smack the crap out of him, not necessarily for the alleged crime but for dragging her in to it. If the offenders parent had a conscience they’d show up at your front door, kid in tow, to offer an apology. Usually that was the end of it. [...]
