This is the only fail safe fix for credit card dept. Credit cards are abused, misused and a way of (economic) life for the majority of Americans. Our country really needs to change our whole way of thinking. If we can't pay cash, that means we can't afford it. If we can't afford it, we do without till we can. That's the way it used to be.

Wild hogs have inflicted a great deal of damage on East Texas landowners, now they have a chance to get back as part of a Houston County 4-H Shooting Sports project.
The First Annual East Texas Wild Hog Roundup will take place later this month and in March. The feral hog harvest will take place in Houston, Leon, Madison, Anderson, Angelina, Cherokee and Trinity counties.
“You can’t drive these roads around East Texas and not see some of the damage they’ve done,” said David Williamson with the Houston County 4-H Shooting Sports Program. “You can’t drive down the road without seeing a dead one someone hit with their car.”

Are there any Republican grown-ups out there, and, if there are, will they ever start coming to the aid of their party?
That sentence could segue into any number of topics, but the one at hand is Sarah Palin, her Saturday-night speech at the Tea Party "convention," and her morning-after declaration on Fox News that, yes, a White House run is on her mind.
Do responsible Republicans (if the phrase hasn't lapsed from disuse) really want this pumped-up incarnation of Larry "Lonesome" Rhodes as their standard bearer?
When Grover Cleveland was the Democratic nominee for President in 1884, reports surfaced that the then unmarried politician had fathered an illegitimate child with a widow named Maria Crofts Halpin. The New York governor publicly ignored the scandal but told his close supporters to "tell the truth" — that he may have been the father of 10-year-old Oscar Folsom Cleveland. Even Halpin didn't know for certain who Oscar's father was; the boy had been named after Cleveland because he was the only unmarried possibility. Without admitting paternity, Cleveland paid child support for many years.
Republicans accused Cleveland of immorality. He countered by maintaining that despite his indiscretion, he had kept his professional integrity — while painting his opponent, James G. Blaine, as a corrupt official at the mercy of Wall Street.
Cleveland won by a wide electoral margin, although the popular vote was considerably closer. And while he got the last laugh, his supporters may have had the best. When Republicans jeered at Cleveland's rallies, chanting, "Ma, Ma, where's my pa?" Democrats would respond, "Off to the White House, ha, ha, ha!"

Excerpt:Unbelievable!! Who would even consider paying Palin 5 dollars to speak?
Sarah Palin's plan to deliver the keynote address – for a fee – at next month's first-ever National Tea Party Convention is getting renewed attention in light of her rejection Thursday of an invitation to speak at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference.
