Why anyone in their right mind would cash an insurance claim check and then go to a bar to flaunt said money is beyond me. But one Springfield, Massachusetts woman is probably wishing she had gone to the bank on the way to the bar:

Q: Why are many coin banks shaped like pigs?
A: Long ago, dishes and cookware in Europe were made of a dense orange clay called 'pygg'. When people saved coins in jars made of this clay, the jars became known as 'pygg banks.

There is a tendency to regard high stakes espionage as a man’s domain, but history repudiates this myopic view -- in spades. In fact, for centuries women have served their allegiances with as much distinction, bravery and awe-inspiring efficacy as th

You say you want a Revolution well you know we all want to change the world and if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao love that tune but it is interesting to note that without capitalism there would be no Beatles...
This is the pact. In each country it varies; citizens hand over different freedoms in accordance with their own customs and priorities. Cultures and circumstances may vary; systems can be radically different. We have all colluded; in the West we have colluded most. Unlike Russia, unlike China, we had the choice to demand more of our governments, to rebalance the relationship between state and individual, but for as long as the consumerist going was good we chose not to exercise it.
In honor of the lives lost and in recognition of how Blessed we all are to still live in relative freedom please remember to fly your American Flag Proudly tomorrow! Fear your Government but Love your Country!

Migrant Mexican farm workers in Manitoba – the first in Canada to join a union – have now voted to decertify.
The farm employees have decided they would rather not be part of the United Food and Commercial Workers union because they can make more money working longer hours, without mandatory overtime pay, which they say caused employers to cut back on their hours.
Heladio Martinez-Perez is a foreman at a farm west of Winnipeg. He said under the collective agreement the workers negotiated two years ago, they could not work more than 70 hours weekly.
"Today, we're gonna start at 6 o'clock and maybe finish at 8. That is a big difference, the union and not the union. We don't need overtime or $1 extra per hour when we can make more hours. That is a good thing for everybody."
"This has been directly due to the complicit actions of the totally corrupt Supreme Court and the cowardly Congress that have both colluded with the now criminal administrative branch to steal this nation from the people; the same people, that were supposedly the only reason for their existence as government officials in the first place."
Today, June 17th, is a
bittersweet day for me. My late husband, Harry Browne, was born on this
day. To commemorate his birth each year of our marriage, I spent a
great deal of time and effort planning a day full of special surprises.
Consequently, it was always a happy day.
Harry has been gone for more than three years now. I miss him more than words can express.
I know many reading this Downsizer-Dispatch miss him too.
In these troubling times, we all miss Harry's voice.
* Harry understood Austrian economic theory and the business cycle.
* He also specialized in understanding the damage
that Big Government does to our economy -- especially when the
politicians try to "fix" it.
We wish we could directly access his wisdom right
now, whether it was in his clear, persuasive columns, or his warm,
convincing monologues on air.
I am pleased that there are voices that continue to carry forth Harry's
