Here's a little mystery: @triumph68 send this picture from Two Rivers, Wisconsin, north of Milwaukee.
"Due to the economy, we've laid off Gloom, Doom and Bad News," the sign reads. "That means when you walk in here, you'll only find people who are upbeat about our country, about business, about people, about life! So stop in any time. You'll find Optimism, Faith and Good News working full-time. America rocks!"
Being in Two River, this particular sign hails Two Rivers.
But you'll find versions of it all over, going back to at least 2009. Any one know where these come from?
FWIW, the small print at right reads "Copyright 2010 Jewelry Ads That Work."

First post to Rachel's page - I love her! and love to read the editorial articles. Not to be picky, Laura, but - ok, it's picky - that should be "Any one know [whither] these come from? Anyway, it's a great attitude!
Thanks, Peg -- I actually just mean to say "where," but at least now I was able to fix it. Do you diagram sentences, by any chance? We have some fun with that.
Laura is attempting to make us all literate by diagramming sentences :)
off topic but good news.
Controversial Preacher Bradlee Dean Ordered To Pay Maddow’s Legal Fees In His Lawsuit Against Her
First there was the Bush/Cheney years of missing 911, unnecessary war, and offshoring that ended with the September, 2009 economic meltdown and the beginning of the Bush Great De/Recession.
Then there was Limbaugh and McConnell declaring there must be four years of austerity to insure this President would fail.
Then there was the OWS movement and the beginning of a middle class awakening.
I think the President might have Republicans on the run with his discussion of income inequality, outsourcing, tax shelters, foreign influences creeping into the our elections with Citizen United, and then there is Mitt saying he enjoys firing people who SERVE him
You can't get any more negative than that. Of course, the American people are ready to rally around a positive president and a call to rebuild the middle class. It's like the Empire Stuck Back at the 99% and now they are ready to respond...just in time for the elections and a discussion of why the rich have been investing anywhere but in America.
The 99% were very much into investing in America again on July 4th of 2012 as the had their parades, picnics, and worries about Global Warming with the record high temps and drought in 45% of the country. Republicans like Mitt Romney not so much. Not the right attitude at all.
If Mitt shows up at that horse dancing event at the London Olympics, I predict that Pelosi will be Speaker of the House again come January. And Dems will hold the Senate, too.
The most telling sign? I heard a conservative church lady stick up for Claire McCaskill on the Fourth of July. She was angry about the SupePacs beating up on her...and America. She suspects that something isn't right about all that money that's being thrown around in MO by who knows who or what.
That's what that little old lady said. Scout's honor. I didn't even start the discussion. She was feeling righteous, and for some reason, kind towards Claire. Perhaps she was just looking for someone or something positive again?
