This article seems to be nothing more than an anonymous and free infomercial for Staples.Read More "J" posted this same spam "article" on Patch sites in many towns, just changing the name of the town to match the Patch site. That seems to be the spirit of Staples, free-loading in every way they can. Even this "teacher program" has nothing to do with eliminating the need for teachers to spend their own money on school supplies --it is simply a way for that retailer to take advantage of the situation by attracting the lucrative teacher market. Staples should change their name to MADE IN CHINA OFFICE SUPPLIES, as virtually nothing they sell is manufactured in our country.

I agree with Linda and find it perfectly appropriate that Walker appear at a dinner to honorRead More Prescott Bush, financier of the Third Reich! What's wrong with the CEA? We don't facts disturbing our own versions of reality: these big unions better get used to big moneyed candidates who will bust them down to nothing! Weekends? Child labor? Fair wages? We don't need any of that malarkey!
