American Packaging Expands

Posted on 6:56 AM by Unknown
I was on a Home Brew Forum yesterday talking about my being a home brew consultant at Cannery Wine and Spirits when a guy from Indiana responds that he will be in Columbus next week to spend a week doing something at American Packaging!

I tell him that the only place to get craft beer is either at Bobs Liqueur or the BP Station has a few.

Then I see that American Packaging is expanding. They received a $350,000 grant from Wisc Commerce to help implement a $17 million plant expansion which will create 47 new jobs!

SWEET!

Who says the American economy is in bad shape. Who? FOX News that's who. A project conducted by the World Public Opinion, managed by the Program on International Policy Attitudes found that FOX News will actually make you more stupid!

Fox News viewers are significantly more misinformed than consumers of news from other sources. In fact . .

91% percent believe the stimulus legislation lost jobs
72% percent believe the economy is getting worse
60% percent believe climate change is not occurring
49% percent believe income taxes have gone up
63% percent believe the stimulus legislation did not include any tax cuts
56% percent believe Obama initiated the GM/Chrysler bailout
38% percent believe that most Republicans opposed TARP

Of course this is all a liberal lie and as one person told me Fox News is the ONLY News Corp that tells the truth. I said what about the BBC and he said that the BBC was just another liberal lie spreader!

Speaking of Minnesota Vikings! Seems the new Monday Night Stadium will be a WONDERFUL venue to watch a football game. Game time temps will be about 10 degree and alcohol will not be allowed in the Stadium. WOW - that just sounds like a great time!

---------------------------------------

WHERE IS THE FREAKING WARM AIR!!

Man it's been cold way to early! Alaska is still full of cold air so there is no big warm push on it's way. We should be nearing 30 next week for a few days. Just get past the cold weekend and we will moderate and MAYBE hit . . "average".
--------------------------------------

Have a nice weekend and stay warm! Cuddle up with a loved one in one big Family size Snuggie. It would have like 8 arms in it for the entire family!
