Are churches ever BAD for a town?

I would not have thought it was possible to have "too many" churches in one town, but it appears there is at least one case where it is possible. Stafford, TX has 51 churches in 7 square miles. "So what?" You ask. Well, apparently no one else is moving in, leaving a town with far more tax-exempt institutions than taxable ones. And the churches are primarily catering to out-of-town Christians who come into church, and leave no taxable income behind outside of the church. The town is now looking for ways to keep churches out.

NYTimes rejects Lieberman, every CT paper endorses him

The New York Times (FoxNews link) has formally endorsed Ned Lamont, Joe Lieberman's rival for the Connecticut senatorial nomination. The reason given is Honest Joe's "support for the Bush administration's security policies". But we all know it is because he has actually tried to be a bipartisan player... exactly the kind of person the Times will claim is who the democratic presidential nominee is in two years.

Luckily, it appears real CT papers know the score. The Hartford Courant and the Connecticut Post have both endorsed our current Senator. Let us add our Mod-Blog endorsement as well!

Beware the Snuggly Ones

Leaving the Boardwalk

It is with many happy memories, lots of blisters on our feet, and lots of swag from the arcades/games that we bid our beloved Wildwood a fond farewell. We'll see you again next year.

In the Bleachers- Baseball

Sometimes, "Its funny because it's true."

Dude! You got a fire hazzard!

News like this makes me glad I have never bought a Dell. At the moment, with the large numbers of reports of combusting laptops from the budget-price pc maker, I could not recommend them to any friends. Of course, I am a Mac man, anyway, so what were the odds of me recommending a pc company, anyway?

Stress and the Rest

I will admit one of the few bits of stress for me during these days in Wildwood were the advertisements for a Wrestling Event in August.
