    I’m still without a landline phone post-Sandy. So far, the target date for its restoration is December 20th, pushed up from the 4th. I’ve started a petition to the CEO and Chairman of Verizon. I think they should provide mobiles to those without landlines, especially since many of the people in my neighborhood, Staten Island, Long Island, The Rockaways, and all over the coast of NJ are elders. Please sign it, and if you’re a customer of theirs, tell them:

    Thank you.

    Just watched the President address the nation. He makes me proud. And comforted.

    But… I’m going to come right out and say it: “They” are going to jump all over him for concluding with “G_d bless the memory of those who were lost today” {or similar] but he did NOT say, “G_d bless America”. Dollars to donuts, the issue of guns will be deflected by FOX, Palin, et.al., by that. beth.

    This site has been very slow to open on my computer and one of those “This page cannot be displayed” pages showed up before I tried again and succeeded.
    Are you sure this isn’t a video of Boehner and his caucus discussing the budget?

    I have been having a dickens of a time lately getting onto this site. I only have mobile and lately when I click on a link the page only loads the Facebook share icon. I have to refresh the page to get the article. Something has gone wrong since I think the forum came back up? Or at least it was announced the form was back. I can’t find a link for it anywhere.

      I just loaded it on both a Kindle and an iPad, and I’m not seeing the problem you mention. On what device is this happening to you? Please let us know, and we’ll try to figure out why this is happening on your end. Thanks – Admin
