I live in the up-scale burbs in New Jersey, and we are also seeing more and more store closings. In some cases, it is because landlords are hiking rents as much as possible, assuming that some businesses can meet their demands, and not caring whether the present tenant has to close up shop. Of course, if this is a recession, will the next tenant be able to keep up their payments?

el: Jeffraham, would the quit key work for a teen? They notoriously have no discipline. But I know one who is trying to cut down by himself.
Well, dunno -- it's not made to cut down the smoking, but to taper it down to full stop in six weeks or less. And it does work -- I used this back in Morehead, and quit for 3 years. But like anything else, the smoker has to want to quit. That's a big one.
Last night's last several cigarettes (at 1:11 apart) didn't taste or feel good, to me, but this morning's (all four!) have all been pleasurable.
Addiction is a funny thang.

Have you dated liberals before? If so, any difference you can tell between liberal and conservative guys?
I tend not to date liberals, for a reason. Politics is so important to what I do and I follow it so much. I can't respect a guy who's liberal all that much because it makes me question his intelligence. So, that's a big minus because I'm thinking how smart can this guy be if he thinks John Kerry is a great politician? (Laughs) If he thinks Barack Obama would be a great President, I think, gee, how bright could this guy be?- Cassy Fiano

...and, better no coffee than no beer.
Beer will get you through times of no coffee better than coffee will get you through times of no beer.
If the Million Man March takes place as advertised, we'll find out from the international media, probably via the Internet.
The US authorities and their embedded journalists will merely report that a few thousand people attended the march, and focus their coverage on a vocal counter-demonstration of a dozen Iraqi Freedom Fighters obsequiously expressing solidarity with, and gratitude for, the US forces.
The counter-demonstration will be staged deep inside the Green Zone, perhaps in front of a green screen to permit a life-like background to be inserted afterwards. Because there's too great of a chance that the real marchers will burst from the confines of their designated Free Speech Zone and treat the counter-demonstrators like they treated the Amerikan mercenaries in Fallujah.

Sadly the coffee shop I headed to this morning had just closed up, perhaps a sign of the looming recession (joke).
Had this been an actual joke, laughter would have occurred....

Perhaps the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that the coffeeshop needed to be closed to expedite the construction of the Foxwoods Casino-- that engine of revenue that will keep the Commonwealth's treasury solvent until Fast Eddie sells off the turnpike to the highest bidder.
Rendell also plans to lease the mountain laurel, Pennsylvania's state flower, to advertisers that will laser-etch ads onto the petals. It's another win-win revenue-generating scheme!

...My experience with liberals is that superficially, they may be more fun to be around. They're a bit looser and more relaxed. They make an effort to be more sensitive, but the sensitivity only goes so far. It's easy for a man to keep this illusion of being a great, sensitive romantic if he knows he's just going to sleep with you and then say good-bye. Anybody can be Mr. Love God for one night or one week or one month.

The State Department has announced that Ann Barrett, the deputy assistant secretary responsible for overseeing passport services, is stepping down. Her resignation comes “two weeks after the agency said files of the three presidential candidates had been improperly accessed,” although the State Department refused “to link her departure to the uproar.”
It might as well be spring.

The coffee shop is an interesting thing to bring up because it represents one of the few remaining businesses with a low cost of entry that an entrepreneur with limited technical skills might attempt.
Since the "Walmart" of the coffee shop industry, Starbucks, serves such high priced goods and has a bland corporate personality to it (now), the little guy stands a small chance of making it .
Meaning as long as no insurance and a beat up old car and little savings leads to happiness... go for it!

Feith concedes this line of thought could rationalize attacks on other countries, including North Korea, Syria and Iran.
Which is not a bug but a feature. After all, until we pre-emptively strike every other country on the planet, we'll be fighting each one of them down the road at a time and place of their choosing.
Somebody needs to see if Feith and walk and chew gum at the same time. I'm betting not....

If your idea of dating is racing to see who finishes first so that you can gloat about it, you may be a conservative.
