jamie

Seriously. Just one more and she’s a no-go. Thank you Senator Susan Collins (Republican from Maine) and Senator Lisa Murkowski, (Republican from Alaska) for having the courage to stand up to the Trump regime and vote for the CHILDREN of Maine, Alaska, and the rest of us.

Organizers Will Not Move Forward With Gathering Of The Vibes In 2017

jamie

So, Gathering of the Vibes 2017 is not happening. Again.

Wow. Second year in a row without the Vibes. Somebody needs to take up the torch because it seems Ken Hays has obviously lost his balls and will to compete. Even if it means moving the festival from Bridgeport. How about somebody in Vermont? Anyone? Bueller?

“Without oil-rich nations using the U.S. dollar to trade their product — and without the gold standard — there’s nothing keeping the dollar’s worth from crashing.
