The Internet has been replacing newspapers for ad placement, but today we decided to put more of our ads back in the papers. You see, when everyone else is avoiding the papers, our ads will now stand out.
One of the paper advertising agents we like to use is the Shoppers Weekly here in our area. The other is a weekly newspaper, The Journal. Both of these papers are readily available to people in our local stores.
It is quiet again today in our office, and we sometimes wonder if we should have someone walk back and forth on the highway out front with a sign board pointing the way to the office, like all those mattress sale people and pizza place folk. Of course we know that only when the economy begins a serious turn around will buyers once again feel safe enough to purchase a home.
I am frustrated by the obstructionism of the Republicans in congress who have no motivation to improve the economy. They are not even shy about admitting that if the economy stays bad they can win elections. What I wonder is this: will they finally get serious about helping our country once the elections are over? Or will they just start looking to the next election cycle?
I don’t like the game playing that our elected officials on both sides of the aisle get caught up in as they constantly look to the next election. You would think they were playing football instead of governing with all their score keeping and lust for winning. And here we are caught in their game, like pawns on a chess board.
