But a few weeks later, a law firm hired by Home Depot began sending him letters demanding first $3,000, then a total of $6,000, implying he'd be sued if he didn't pay it."

Angry white men
Ummm. Red meat!
Read it all and enjoy!
Aspen Times News for Aspen Colorado - Aspen Times Weekly Opinion: "The Angry White Man comes from all economic backgrounds, from dirt-poor to filthy rich. He represents all geographic areas in America, from urban sophisticate to rural redneck, deep South to mountain West, left Coast to Eastern Seaboard.
His common traits are that he isn’t looking for anything from anyone — just the promise to be able to make his own way on a level playing field. In many cases, he is an independent businessman and employs several people. He pays more than his share of taxes and works hard."

The victimhood syndrome buzzwords — “disenfranchised,” “marginalized” and “voiceless” — don’t resonate with him. “Press ‘one’ for English” is a curse-word to him. He’s used to picking up the tab, whether it’s the company Christmas party, three sets of braces, three college educations or a beautiful wedding.

Between credit squeezes, out-of-control immigration, rising costs of education and health care and everything else, it's all darkness out there for those of us who are neither millionaires nor welfare cases, right?

Beef recall hysteria infects Grand Rapids school Board
Zombies on the GR BOE do what Zombies always do....
Beef recall hits Grand Rapids schools - Michigan Food Stories, Recipes and Reviews - MLive.com: "Officials said it was the largest beef recall in the United States, surpassing a 1999 ban of 35 million pounds of ready-to-eat meats. No illnesses have been linked to the newly recalled meat, and officials said the health threat was likely small."
In a freezer at the Grand Rapids Public Schools food service facility sits 20,000-pounds of hamburger that will never rest between a bun.
The meat, purchased by the district through a contract with the federal government, is part of a recall of meat by a California meat packer being investigated for abusing its cattle.
