TownHall in at a new site Penetrating Insights Into The Obvious are reporting about a new Obama poster sweeping across America. At this point it not certain if this is good old fashioned satire or for real. However, it may be a form of satire that in deeds becomes real. We will let the readers decide report back on if they have seen any of the signs posted across America. The alleged article copied below as an image may not be available for every. The image to the right referenced in the article is available to town load as a 11" x 17" version. Also be sure to check out the image of American Exceptionalism.
The article begins:
This past week all across America -- from Marietta, Georgia to Davenport, Iowa to Beverly Hills, California -- sightings of the newest poster featuring President Barack Obama have been made. Simultaneously, many have become convinced that the poster's inscrutable label, TWAP, stands for The Worst American President.
In what may well appear an ominous sign for President Obama, the posters have appeared on many unleased stores, highlighting the devastating effect the recession has had on commercial real estate and small businesses across the county, the sector which most often leads the way out of bad economic times. . . .

Ah, this live video has it all. Guitars and backing vocals that border on amateurish, a geeky keyboard player and a song that is absolutely infectious.

Having established myself as a fan of local search engines, I'll go ahead and mention one I ran for home security systems.
My brother lives near Raleigh, N.C. and has a couple of kids, see. So I searched for "ADT Home Security Raleigh," "Raleigh Home Security" and "ADT Raleigh" in an attempt to find a security system for the lad.
I used both a typical search engine and Kudzu. Guess which yielded the better results? The local search at Kudzu did the trick.
Local search engines just keep improving, it seems.
Over the past few weeks, it seems that our senior senator, Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) has been busily trying to ruin her political career.
Following all that hubbub over the health care debate, Lincoln's popularity has been steadily slipping here in Arkansas. A recent Rasmussen poll shows her losing to any Republican who bothers to run against her while a Daily Kos poll shows her slightly ahead of Republican challengers but struggling mightily against Lieutenant Governor Bill Halter in a primary challenge.
To make things worse, she's angered seniors by voting against a John McCain amendment that would reverse the Medicare cuts put in the health care bill. Here's the relevant portion of a press release I received yesterday from a group called 60 Plus from that group's president, Jim Martin:
I and the 5.5 million supporters of 60 Plus are disappointed Senator Lincoln chose to vote against the McCain Amendment and against restoring the $500 billion in cuts to Medicare made by the Senate health care reform legislation. Seniors have a long memory and we will not forget this betrayal.That's right -- she's angered another group out there. I don't care if you like, dislike or are just neutral on Lincoln. You've got to be wondering -- what the heck is she doing?
I was searching on the Internet for some local goods and services the other day and was getting annoyed.
Just go ahead and try to find something in your area. Open up your favorite search engine and just try searching for -- I don't know -- just about any product or service you can think of and Atlanta, GA or Buffalo, NY to the end of your search. Due to the fact that search engines don't concentrate heavily on localized results and a bunch of smartypants search engine optimized (SEO) stuff, the chances are good that you'll either come up with something worthwhile or a bunch of nonsense.
Try that same search for a smaller area like my beautiful hometown of Benton, AR and you'll probably come up with something more bizarre -- search engines might not concentrate on local results, but they do handle queries for large cities like St. Louis, MO much better than they do for my little town.
To get targeted, local results each and every time, you might try looking at a localized search engine such as JustClickLocal.com. It's free and useful -- just the kind of thing I like.
One of the finest scenes in which Sandler has been involved. You'll thrill as a tormented Sandler misses his girlfriend and agonizes along with a Beach Boys song.

Once again, I'll mention that the Internet makes is possible for specialty stores to thrive and that's a great thing.
Few areas can support heavily specialized, "brick and mortar" stores because it's difficult to attract enough customers to stay in business. The Internet makes it possible to specialize to a ridiculous degree because stores operating online are reaching out to an almost unlimited market.
Planterixchange is one of those Internet specialty stores. The store features (believe it or not) about any size, shape and type of planter you can imagine. Indoor planters, outdoor planters, garden planters -- you name it and they've got it.
In addition to a massive selection, Planterixchange offers very competitive prices and is one of those Internet companies that actually provides a phone number to call so you can place orders or deal with a human being if you run into problems with your order. That's a nice touch.
Give the site a shot. Grab something for yourself or think of the place as a source for that unique Christmas gift you'll need to purchase soon.
