Ind. eatery pulls billboards with cult references
Quote:
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – A northern Indiana restaurant that erected billboards referring to the 1978 Jonestown cult massacre in which more than 900 people died has removed the signs following complaints that the signs were offensive.

Quote:
The billboards included the statement, "We're like a cult with better Kool-Aid," over a glass containing a mixed drink, as well as the phrase "To die for!"

It is almost as if you seek out things to be offended by.

Once more, you never miss an opportunity to miss the point.

I am beginning to understand how someone who processes information (or lack there of) like you do could delude yourself into voting for an empty suit clown like O'Bama, and then continue to show support as he repeatedly screws the pooch.

It must be horrible not to be able to think for yourself.

...and the number 1 state for foreclosed homes is.....(WOW..I thought that extra $200 everyone got was going to fuel up the state and its' economy)
Quote:
1. Indiana

• Homes in foreclosure: 16,618
• Percentage of foreclosed homes that are vacant: 30%
• Foreclosure rate: 1/660

Over 5,000 of the 152,033 zombie homes in the U.S. are located in Indiana. Those homes represent 30% of all foreclosed homes in the state. The number of foreclosed homes that have been abandoned is even higher in some of Indiana’s metropolitan areas, including the Indianapolis-Carmel area, where 32% of the region’s 7,000 foreclosed homes are vacant. Foreclosures in the state usually go through a court, lengthening the process and giving owners more time to abandon their property. As of mid-2013, it took 618 days on average to foreclose on a home, the 11th longest period in the country.
