There are a lot of Shickshinny's out there. The Shickshiny's of the US are the commnities that provide the troops and pay the price for
ReplyDeleteglobalisation and are not worried about what happens in Libya.
When the recent financial crisis began back in late 2007, media reports noted that income inequality in the U.S. was at a historic level, unequaled since the time of the 1929 crash and the ensuing economic depression. Case in point: The top 1% of wealthiest Americans took home nearly a quarter of the nation’s income.
The per capita market income of the top 10% wealthiest counties in the nation increased 63.8% between 1980 and 2008 compared to a 38.3% increase in the 10% poorest counties.
In 1980, the per capita income in the richest counties was 2.6 times that of the poorest group of counties. By 2008, the 10% wealthiest counties in the nation had a per capita market income that was 3.5 times higher than the 10% poorest counties in the nation.
Counties with a more equal income distribution had a violent crime rate of 2.28 per 1000 persons compared to a violent crime rate of 7 in counties with the highest level of income inequality.

Does it matter?
Depends on who you ask?
ReplyDeleteThe Feudal Lords were certain that God, his damned self, designed that system. The Serfs weren't so sure.
ReplyDeleteThe mine owners built churches, and fought the unions like Daniel Webster fought the Debil. After all, unions were "communist," and Communism was pure Satanism, right?
ReplyDeleteGood Lord! Say that three times and mean it.
ReplyDeleteYou know when you're in "Shickshinny" when you see a Parade for the local National Guard Unit that's deploying to the Sand Pit, AND a Parade for them when they return.
ReplyDeleteShickshinny is where the guy from Westboro Baptist Church might want to watch what he says down at the local Quik Shop.
Shickshinny is a place where they roll up the red carpet at 8 pm and know exactly who doesn't belong there when someone rolls in to the Quik Mart at 2 am.
ReplyDeleteShickshinny is a place when you walk into that Quik Mart at 2 am and the person behind the counter stares at you because you have all your teeth.
ReplyDeleteThe Mines don't hire as many people as they used to, so the young bucks get into more trouble than before.
ReplyDeleteThey need jobs. Even the shoe factory moved to China.
I think Pa is one of the most beautiful states in the country.
ReplyDeleteMy BFF and partner in crime is in need of a weekend getaway, I think we might look into going to Shickshinny.
A few years ago we visited Centralia
ReplyDeletethere you go I just sent her the link
ReplyDeleteI'll tell you what those young men from that town should be doing; they should be building a Cellulosic ethanol refinery.
ReplyDeleteSomeone would be willing to do the project, but they're going to need a Government Loan Guarantee. NOT a Government Loan - a "Loan Guarantee."
We would get them off Unemployment, and their women off welfare/food stamps/medicaid, and we would be lowering the price of fuel, while positively effecting our "Balance of Payments," and thus the Value of the Dollar, and the Credit Rating of the Country.
Instead of being on the dole, they would be working, and paying taxes; and, me and thee would be driving for less.
Rufus, I was thinking the same thing.
ReplyDeleteGreat minds, Melody. :)
ReplyDeleteToo great for Congress, or the White House, evidently.
I was thinking I would like to hike the warrior trails but while we are there we'll definitely look into some building sites.
ReplyDelete"The Cab Driver And The Nun"
ReplyDeleteA cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab and notices that the very handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her. She asks him why he is staring.
He replies: "I have a question to ask you but I don't want to offend you".
She answers: "My son, you cannot offend me. When you are as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you see and hear just about everything. There's nothing you could ask that would offend me."
"Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me."
She responds: " Okay, but you have to be single and you have to be Catholic."
The cab driver is very excited and says "Yes, I'm single and I'm Catholic."
"OK" says the nun. "Pull into the next alley."
The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush, but when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.
"My dear child" says the nun. "Why are you crying?"
"Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied and I must confess. I'm married and I'm Jewish."
The nun says "That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Purim party."
I'm going to miss the ceremony when they officially open the archives on July 10th in the FLT building
ReplyDeleteI love that shit.
That made me laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteThe moral of that story is always ask for credentials, never kiss in an alley, and find a new fantasy.
That was a good one.
I hate being bipolar, it's awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'd comment, but I'm too busy building a Cellulosic Ethanol Plant out in the backyard:
ReplyDeleteI'll throw a party with free booze for all you guys when it's done.
...if I get a big enough subsidy to keep it open for a while.
I thought we shuffled that guy off to Tupelo?!
ReplyDeleteWith the name Sun Sue at least you'll know who you are half the time.
ReplyDeleteDid someone say FREE booze?
ReplyDeleteWe'll make a special deal for pineapplehead-land. The pineappleheads can continue to buy their oil from Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.
ReplyDeleteOf course, that means the Pineappleheads will be, singularly, responsible for the upkeep, and maintenance of the 5th Fleet, and all the Ground Troops in the Gulf.
MEL: With the name Sun Sue at least you'll know who you are half the time.
ReplyDeleteSister of Sun Tzu, you see.
Behind blue eyes
ReplyDeleteI figured it was the son of "a boy named Sue." :0
ReplyDeleteOf course, any state rich enough to burn Oil to generate electricity can afford anything.
Residential Rate on the Island of Hawaii, in 2009 when oil was cheap, was, what, about $0.32 per kilowatt/hr?
It must be getting pretty sporty with $100.00/bbl oil.
If that is what you want to believe.
ReplyDeleteIt is great getting off the beaten path in Pennsylvania. Of course some of us have been off the beaten path for more time than we would care to recollect.
ReplyDeleteShickshitter is huge compared to Troy, Oregon and the water is dirty.
ReplyDeleteI was talking to a farmer the other day with a new JDeere combine. Takes 300 gallons of deisel to fill up. At 5 that 1500bucks.
Rufus was wrong in an earlier thread Ash for once right. For the obvious reasons.

ReplyDeleteAnd not a word written about the "natural born" issue.
That is the salient point of Constitutional eligibility and fitness for the office, the requirement that Mr Obama would not clear, even allowing that he was born in a Hawaiian hospital that was ignored and unmentioned in the Legislation.
Why I can't believe my eyes, if I'm reading right the rat has actually changed his view and is supporting my long held conviction.

And Miss T that case is much more complicated than that I think there was an error in the wording of the law which is being corrected.

Freekin' bizarre place you got here. Despite the niceness of Pennsylvanians overall, this Skishinny must be the whiskers on the cat.
