The Asbury Park Press, the sole remaining newspaper in this part of the state, published Hermann Winkelmann's Saga.

At age 65, Hermann Winkelmann is still a formidable character, bigger than life, from the top of his Stetson to the tips of his boots.

Greetings everyone.

Republic doesn't have the word Cratos written in it, so a true republic is not governed by 1 leader but instead by 100 senators. There is a lot of room for good politicians in a republic, so how come American politics are struggling with just 1 leader ?

Have Socialism, Democracy & Republicanism been replaced with aristocracy & autocracy ?

Just remember that all forms of politics are vulnerable for corruption, that is why it should be our duty to always be aware and be prepared to abolish the rule of corruption at any time and any place.

I remember I was watching our new black-n-white console teevee (I was four - we didn't get a color set until '68). No kids shows were on but Mom had the teevee on and I was playing.

Then, all of sudden, some man came on the teevee and Mom stopped what she was doing. She watched and listened to the teevee for awhile and began to sob. She hurried out from the living room. I chased after her to ask what was wrong (I don't think I ever saw my mom cry before). And she told me "they killed the president".

Where were YOU November 22nd 1963?

Welcome to 55 and Better

The "55 and Better" series focuses on the issues that effect everyone sooner or later. With that in mind, it is important that we join together in tackling the problems and looking for the solutions as we plan for the future. All of us have inherited a system including Medicare and Social Security from those who have fought the "good fight," now it remains up to us to continue the promise so that the years after 55 will be even better.

BIG PHARMA SCAM: Medicare Prescription Part D

(Survival inside a doughnut-hole )

It's rather difficult to discuss Medicare Prescription Part D since seemingly there are no government or agency officials willing or able to provide a clear explanation as to exactly how the scam is supposed to benefit seniors.

"Cutting drug costs for seniors" is not an explanation is it? It’s a campaign slogan.

How does it work? Is there an official explanation? Why not?
