We all know the current tough economic times has everybody looking for a way to save a couple bucks. With colds and flu swarming around every classroom and grocery store, certain pharmacies are giving away free antibiotics.

The Stop and Shop Pharmacy is never empty in Cromwell, New Hampshire. Lines are long but move quickly since customers no longer have to pay for their antibiotics. The company is giving away free antibiotics until March 21st to help out with the tough economic times.

Stop and Shop Pharmacy isn't the only company offering free antibiotics. Shop right stores around Connecticut are also giving away free antibiotics.




It's about damn time this happens. There are too many people in this country who cannot afford medication, finally somebody is doing something about it.

I don't know about everybody else, but I, myself, do not have medical coverage. So when I get sick I have to find a way to beat it, or just let it run it's course. This year I have been lucky enough to not need to see a doctor. But not everybody is that lucky.

People are dying because they cannot afford medicine and it's ridiculous. Our government is willing to chuck out $800 billion dollars to help businesses who just keep blowing money out the waazoo, but not to help citizens who can't pay their bill. Yeah, the economic stimulus may could (notice how I say COULD), help the economy. But even if it does, it won't be immediately. It won't help people pay their bills for the month. It won't allow people to pay off the hospital bills. Hell, it won't even pay for the gas to get you to the hospital you can't afford!

We need to worry less about these corporations, and start worrying about the people of america. Now I'm not saying not to help out the corporations. But not $800 billion dollars. Send some of that money to the people that need it. I think that by now we have noticed that the bailouts aren't working. People are still losing their jobs (over 100,000 just in last week). And obviously the current "economic stimulus" up for debate in Washington is not supported by both parties. We're forcing this plan into action, just like we did with the bailouts. And guess what? THE BAILOUTS DIDN'T WORK!!! It's no big secret. The corporations spent the money on lavish getaways and luxuries. Don't believe? In 2008 Citi financial group tried to use $45 million dollars of bailout money to buy a corporate jet. Need I say more?

It seems like everyone these days expects a handout. First it was GM(General Motors), the it was the retailers, now the auto part suppliers. I want to know where the hell is my bailout?

In Detroit, Michigan, Auto part suppliers are preparing to head to Washington to ask the government for a bailout of there own. Suppliers had already asked for help this past November when Congress was considering the bailout for GM and Chrysler, who were granted 13.4 Billion dollars.


This is getting ridiculous. It seems like everyone and there mother is expecting a handout from good ole' Uncle Sam. There is no reason why our government should be giving these bailouts. I understand the GM bailout. It was with good intentions, we just went about it wrong. We made the decision too quickly to give the bailout. I believe we gave them far too much money with no stipulations to follow. And obviously the bailouts are not working considering that GM keeps asking for more money!

Look, me and you don't receive a bailout when we cannot afford to pay our bills. Why should they?

Question of the Day: Who do you think will win the superbowl?

I wouldn't lie to you would I?

Is it true that Obama was arrested? Yes.

What was he arrested for? Possession of Marijuana.

Can he be impeached? No.

Why not? He's not the President.






Today, George Obama, President Obama's half-brother, was arrested by Kenyan police on the charge of possession of marijuana. Although he is behind bars, Obama denies the allegations.

I told you I wouldn't lie...

Before you go making assumptions, President Obama barely knows his half brother. Although they have met before. I imagine it wasn't a very pleasant meeting, as President Obama only describes the meeting as a "painful affair".

I can only imagine what ran through the Presidents head when he arrived at his half-brothers home...


"Nice hutt you got there..."

Ok that was mean...I'm done.
