Age: 47
Occupation: talk radio schmuck
Last Seen: Tampa, FL
Bee-otched For: proving himself wrong---

Fans of Bubba the Love Sponge are sighing a breath of relief today.

The popular Tampa radio personality and pal of Howard Stern's was found not guilty by a jury yesterday. He was being sued by rival Tampa jock Todd Schnitt - who hosts a syndicated right-wing talk show and is also the morning man at WFLZ as "MJ" - for defamation. Schnitt claimed that Bubba made remarks about him and his wife that were out of context and hurtful. The case itself went through a weird loop of its own when Schnitt's own lawyer was recently arrested for drunk driving. He claimed that it was Bubba's camp that sent him the beverages. Gee, can't resist temptation?

In the closing argument, Schnitt's lawyer claimed that Bubba made his statements "over sheer hatred" while Bubba's attorney claimed that his show is all about entertainment and not real fact. The jury decided that there was no malice involved on Bubba's part, even though Schnitt's wife is not a public figure.

This isn't the first time Schnitt dragged a rival jock to court; in 1988, while working at Virginia Beach's Z104, he sued Roy Jaynes of WGH for calling him a "homosexual jew boy" on his show. He filed a $3 million lawsuit against Jaynes, even though he claimed that he never said that on his show. Jaynes, now a radio station owner in Georgia, told Tampa CBS station WTSP that Schnitt came from a rich family, and every time somebody says something about him, Daddy's there to pull him out of his jams. The jury did rule in favor of Schnitt, although he only won $310,000.

Ya know, I hate rich assholes who go after people smaller than they are and piss and moan that they've defamed them. Todd Schnitt thinks he's hot shit because he has two identities - one top 40 and another right-winged hate talk - but the truth is, he wasted Bubba's time and everyone else's time. I am happy to say, though, that his syndicated talk show is bombing. He once had three stations here in Michigan, and now he's down to one. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Point is, no matter what name he is, Todd Schnitt was made Bubba's bitch. He needs to realize that people will smack him down for the rest of his life, and Daddy won't always help him. He needs to just focus on his failing shows and everybody wins in the end.

Bubba should have just sit on Todd, and everything would have been over by now.

Bee-otched For: still sucking
---
As some of you know, Chuck69.com was created to protest the suckiness of northern Michigan's radio stations.

When I started this site in 1999, I was stuck with three rock stations: 97.5/98.9 WKLT, which played classic rock and a weak selection of new rock; 98.1/105.1 The Bear, which is classic rock; and 95.5 The Zone, which was modern rock, albeit of the Lillith Fair type.

Since that grateful day when this site was founded as an el cheapo WebTV page, KLT has transitioned to about 99% classics, The Bear is still classic rock but has seen better days ratings-wise, and The Zone finally started kicking ass in late 2000, but management problems caused the station to transition to a satellite-fed format in the late 2000's and then a flip to a more mainstream format as Real Rock 105/95-5.

Oh, and two more rock stations signed on: 99.3 The Wolf, which is another mainstream rock format that covers Traverse City's west side and just this past month in a very shocking move, long-time Grayling country stalwart WGRY 100.3 "Y100" flipped to a rock format as WQON "Q100.3". Longtime station owner Bill Gannon suffered a stroke in 2011 and decided to sell his stations to a Detroit couple, Sherri and Jerry Coyne. Sherri worked at CBS Radio in Detroit while Jerry played in several Detroit bands. The flip to rock does leave the hick-heavy Grayling area without a strong country signal, but with WKLT in the rock ratings lead and Q100.3 having an option to expand to 100,000 watts, question is, will it be a player in the market?

My answer: I haven't listened to the station yet (I moved to Grand Rapids in 2002 and they don't have a webstream yet), but judging by what I've read, not really.

Some of the artists Q100.3 plays include .38 Special, Van Halen, ZZ Top, Phil Collins, Duran Duran and Coldplay. Yes, it's a trainwreck so far.

It's official: northern Michigan has five. five, FIVE rock stations, AND THEY ALL SUCK DICK!

What I'm really mad it is the fact that Real Rock 105/95-5 has started to sell out on their listeners. In recent weeks, they've added a BUTTLOAD of crappy 1970's butt rock from Styx, Boston and Lynyrd Skynyrd to their playlist. Even worse, they've cut back on the new rock (I only saw two currents in a two-hour period: "Heaven Nor Hell" by Volbeat and Soundgarden's "Been Away Too Long") and they even shitcanned their Sunday night metal show, The Asylum.

So, why in the FUCKING HELL does every FUCKING rock station up north think that they have a license to suck? I think there's a good reason why: KLT's the top-rated rocker, and they air every shitty 70's band known to man. I know, I know; northern Michigan's loaded with the two types of people that like butt rock: old people and white trash. I shake my head knowing that these stations are also competing against Sirius/XM, Pandora, Slacker and every other service known to man, but they still don't get it.

And speaking of Sirius/XM, DAMN IS OZZY'S BONEYARD A GREAT STATION! I find it laughable that a station that calls themselves "Real Rock" now plays the snot out of a band whose lead singer's only decent talent was dragging two Char Broils into his house, yet I've yet to hear them on Ozzy's Boneyard. Just a lot of Ozzy (of course), Led Zeppelin, Rush, Pantera and Iron Maiden mixed in with kickass old school metal. When Sirius has a better classic rock station even than what they have on terrestrial radio up north, it's a total embarrassment.

Look at WGRD here in Grand Rapids. Kickass morning show and a kickass playlist. Look at their ratings: they're the top rocker in town! They're always on top with new music, and their personalities are great (Jackie's a little hottie :)-). KLT has decent personalities but a shitty playlist. Real Rock HAD a decent playlist but Cartman's a fat prick. The Bear, well, Bob and Tom should retire soon. As for 99.3 The Wolf, well, let's say that the last I heard the station, it wasn't real bad, but since it's nothing more than a jukebox that hasn't streamed online in over a year, it's hard to comment. Same goes with Q100.3.

Look, northern Michigan station owners/managers/etc., NOT EVERY ROCK FAN IN NORTHERN MICHIGAN LIKES LYNYRD SKYNYRD. Look at Sirius/Pandora/Slacker and so on: lots of variety in the rock arena. I know, there's not many 20- and 30-somethings up north, but many of them are tuning you out because digital media does a better job of variety and even introducing them to new music and artists. I checked Real Rock's ratings; a 3.8 isn't real impressive, but The Bear's 2.3 is pitiful.

Point is, northern Michigan can support a radio station that's heavy on new rock and even tosses in a classic or two. I don't mind Aerosmith, Van Halen, Ozzy, Judas Priest or even Pink Floyd. But throwing in a shitload of white trash crap and it's Sirius for me.

Congrats, northern Michigan rock radio. You sure know how to alienate people whose homes weren't manufactured.

As the old saying goes, "parting ways is such sweet sorrow".

Unless if you're Sarah Palin.

The ex-Alaskan governor and vice presidential nominee has left Fox News Channel, where she had been a paid contributor since 2010. Reportedly, she was paid $1 million per year. A Fox News exec commented that the split was amicable, and that she wanted to continue with her commenting. However, she had other interests in mind.

Well, boo-fucking-hoo.

Personally, Palin leaving Fox won't make me shed a single tear. She screwed up as a governor and as a mother. I'd imagine that Fox's ratings aren't great, either, especially since We the People elected a Democrat as president two times in a row. Not to mention that even Fox News president Roger Ailes reportedly called Palin "stupid" in private conversation.

Oh, and Fox recently hired Dennis Kucinich to be a contributor. Nice try.

Point is, Sarah Palin is not important. She's a dumbass from Alaska who cares more about killing a moose than running America. All she's good for is comic fodder and that's it.
Don't let the door hit'cha on the ass...

Bee-otched For: being hypocritical
---
In the world of radio, the elephants walk by while the owners and managers worry about the peanuts.

Last week, the management of popular Top 40 radio station 106 KHQ formally announced that nighttime jock "Artimis" had been fired. Operations manager Bill Michaels - also the afternoon jock on sister station Lite 96.3 - made a statement on the station's Facebook page that he had been let go over a post he made on his Facebook wall. He claimed that Artimis had crossed the line of station standards, but felt that he was a super talented guy and wished him the best of luck.

So, what was Artimis' offending post? A picture he made with the caption stating that he made a dinosaur in the snow in KHQ's parking lot. Thing was, it looked, well, phallic.

Many of KHQ's fans took to Facebook and either congratulated the station for firing him, or lambasted them for letting him go. One of my Facebook followers from up north hated him, and felt that he was too douchebaggy for the station's image.

Of course, this is 106 KHQ we're talking about. Over twenty years ago, while I was a young kid up north I would listen to their Sunday syndicated shows with Casey Kasem and Shadoe Stevens, they would edit out certain songs from the shows if they were inappropriate for the station. Two examples were Kyper's "Tic-Tac-Toe" and Digital Underground's "The Humpty Dance". KHQ has always worked hard to maintain and preserve a PG-rated image, even in an age where pop music is almost anything but.

While I felt that Artimis is a douche, was firing him the best answer? After all, he's not the first radio jock who's made an inappropriate social media posting and he's not going to be the last, I'm afraid. My point is, KHQ did something hypocritical here. Artimis is standing in unemployment line while the station still plays the snot out of Justin Bieber (showed his ass on Twitter last week), Rihanna (also exposed her ass on Twitter) and Chris Brown (beat the crap out of Rihanna). When a $25,000 per year jock draws a penis in the snow at his station's parking lot, he's canned, but when a millionaire artist shows the world their unmentionables, no biggie.

I've heard that this wasn't Artimis' first offense, either, but bear in mind that KHQ's owner, Trish MacDonald-Garber is somewhat on the right side of the aisle from what I've heard. It might have been reason #1 for his dismissal. IMO, if I owned a radio station and one of my jocks did something like that, I would have talked to him about appropriateness and would even warn him that even if you remove that post, it's still out there. Just because something's lost doesn't mean that it's lost forever. Hell, there's probably old Bee-otch of the Day articles that I wrote over a decade ago that are still out there!

But Artimis is still young, and he'll be back on his feet. KHQ will formally find a replacement and their ratings will stay high for them. Problem solved. Artimis learned his lesson, and he'll be careful next time.

Two Bee-otches with one stone...

Well, look no further than a woman named Pattie Mallette. As a young girl, Pattie's dad left her family. She was molested many times by various people and got hooked on drugs as a teen. She began shoplifting and dropped out of school her senior year. At 15, she hooked up with a boy named Jeremy and at 17, she got pregnant. She was suicidal and was even thinking about having an abortion. But, it was because she found Jesus, she decided to have the baby anyway. She raised him as a single mother, living on food stamps and government assistance. Now, Pattie is an experienced author of a book called Nowhere But Up and is now producing a movie called Crescendo, starring former Doritos girl Ali Landry. The movie's profits will be used to support pro-life pregnancy centers worldwide. I know, Pattie's story is one that should make some feel happy to be pro-life. Her story is very inspiring and should help others. But sadly, guess who happens to be her son: Justin Bieber. Yep, this born-again Christian author and movie producer is the mother of Satan. Say what you will about the Bieb, but when I hear about stories like this, I wonder, what would this world be like without him? BETTER! So there you go, folks. If you think that you can't support yourself raising a kid, please have an abortion. I've met too many people who came from poor families that should have been aborted because they're too fucking stupid. And Justin Bieber's one of them. ---- Got a Bee-otch to nominate?

It's no secret that sometimes in Grand Rapids, you end up fearing for your life.

Since 2013 started, there have been over 10 gun deaths in the city. Of course, most of the deaths were black-related. One story that shocked the community was the deaths of an elderly Kentwood couple, David and Vivian Bowman, who were both shot to death by an intruder in their own home. Their Cadillac was stolen and set on fire at an apartment complex. One of the suspects, 22-year-old black male Javonte Higgins was caught in a Chicago suburb and is in custody.

Higgins has a rap sheet going back to his teens, including break-ins and theft.

Well, I know of one place that can't be blamed for the sudden amount of gun crimes in this city: strip clubs. Remember in 2006 when the city passed an ordinance forcing the town's clubs to cover up? The law was the brainchild of Judy Rose, a 70-something city organizer from the crime-infested Black Hills neighborhood who became distraught when a new club, Lady Godiva's opened. One side was topless and served alcohol and the other was full-nude with no alcohol.

She received "secret funding" to get the laws passed because in her Hollander mind, strip clubs lead to crime. However, city mayor George Heartwell even admitted that her story wasn't true. Nonetheless, the law was passed and most of the former strip clubs in the city are now bikini only.

Rumor had it that Rose's main funder was none other than former gubernatorial candidate and Amway exec Dick DeVos since she even appeared in one of his ads on TV. DeVos' wife, Betsy's parents were Edgar and Elza Prince, whose foundation funds many right-winged, "pro-family" groups like Focus on the Family and the American Decency Association.

Folks, look at Canada: if you're 19, you can drink and go to a club that has full nudity and totally naked girls rubbing against you. And guess what? CANADA'S CRIME RATE'S MUCH LOWER THAN AMERICA'S! Here in Grand Rapids, wanna see pussy? Your options are 1) go to Odyssey in Muskegon, which I hear sucks, 2) go to Lansing's Deja Vu, which is much better (bear in mind that a similar law was passed in Kalamazoo in 2011, affecting that 'Vu), or 3) go to a gun shop, get yourself a gun, find a girl and order her to undress because the women here in Grand Rapids are, well, difficult to get in bed. 

Sorry, folks, but that's society. When a gun shop opens, no big deal, but when a strip club opens, it makes the news. I think strip clubs allow single men like me to enjoy being a straight young male who enjoys women! It's pitiful that these right-winged jerks don't get it. Where in the Bible does it say "thou shalt not enjoy thy booty"? Good question, but anybody who knows their Ten Commandments knows THOU SHALT NOT KILL.

Right-winged Republicans: people who don't know their priorities from their assholes.

Occupation: failed CEO
Last Seen: Ann Arbor, MI
Bee-otched For: being filled with shit

Please, 2014, come sooner so we can get the Nerd out of the Michigan capital.

Last week, Rick Snyder held his State of the State address. As usual, the Republicans praised him while the Dems questioned his authority, especially since throngs of protestors stood and chanted outside the state capital. Of course, people are still fuming over the fact that the ex-Gateway CEO signed the speedy Right-to-Work bill into law without hearing any opposition to it.

In his speech, Snyder talked about how Michigan is now the 6th-fastest-growing state in America. Yeah, it's because of Obama, dumbass. He and Jennifer Granholm helped Michigan re-build the auto industry, not you. Bear in mind that Snyder's only been governor for two years and thinks that he's the one that's rebuilding this state by union-busting. Well, let's remember what Reagen did for America in the 1980's. End result: the kids of the 1980's - like myself - are stuck with low-paying jobs and no real protection.

I also love the fact that Snyder's now proposing raising the gas taxes in this state even further, even saying that all of us need to share in the responsibility of making the roads safer. Kinda sounds like Bush's idea of healthcare: forcing Americans to have a health savings account so they're the ones paying for healthcare while their bosses make more money. Ya know, Michigan has some of the wealthiest billionaires in this country: DeVos, Meijer, Stryker and the list goes on. If Virg Bernero was governor, I would have imagined that he would raise their taxes to help pay for road repair and jobs and not put the burden on those who live out in the country and drive 60 miles round trip daily to make $8.00 per hour.

I'll admit, I only heard a few blurbs from Snyder's speech, but I don't care. I personally think that he'll be one and done. It sickens me that Engler left Granholm with so much BS that it couldn't take her eight years to fix his problems, and she took all the blame for Michigan's demise in the 2000's. Yeah, RTW might create jobs, but it's all low-paying, high-hour and a quick trip to the grave. I know how it feels to work 50+ hours a week, folks. It's stressful.

I think 2014 will be a monumental year for America. It'll be the year we clean out the House of all the Teabaggers and same here for Michigan. Snyder was a bought governor by the Kochs, plain and simple. This state needs a tough Democrat to make this state run successfully again, not a union buster.

Especially not one who turned a successful computer company into something owned by the Taiwanese.

1.21.13 Hero of the Day: Barack Obama

DON'T FORGET TO "LIKE" BEE-OTCH OF THE DAY ON FACEBOOK! ------------------ A SPECIAL HERO OF THE DAY! Name: Barack Obama Age: 51 Occupation: President of the United States Last Seen: Washington, DC Awarded For: four more years  --- It's official: Barack Hussein Obama did it. Yesterday at 11:53 a.m. EDT, the president stood in front of Chief Justice John Roberts and took the oath of office, beginning his latest term as President of the United States of America. True, the *other* inaugural party's later today, but under Constitutional law, the president must take the oath January 20th. I totally agree with many that Obama should have done his oath yesterday since people are out of work and so forth, but the what happens in Washington's out of my reach. Oh, well. Then again, with today being Martin Luther King Day, I think this can symbolize something the Civil Rights leader never got to live to see: a black man running America. And unlike the man he replaced as president - who won't be at Monday's ceremonies as he's choosing to be at home in Texas with his ailing father - Obama's done a pretty good job as the leader of the free world. As president, Obama made healthcare easier for millions of Americans, cut down on the wars Bush created and prevented America from going into severe recession. True, we're still far off from the Clinton years in terms of economy, jobs, oil prices and too many others to mention, a smart person can admit that not everything the Republicans created can get fixed. Or can it? Historically, second term presidents have had their problems. Nixon had Watergate, Reagan had Iran-Contra and the severe Wall Street crash, Clinton had Lewinsky and the second Bush had the Wall Street bailout plus the wars he created. It's my hope for Obama that the only problem that he ever had since taking over the presidency was the Tea Party BS of 2010 that cost his fellow Democrats their House seats. Most Americans now know that they were created by the 1% in hopes of attracting morons into thinking that Obama's the problem and not the answer. Hopefully by the time he leaves the White House on January 20th, 2017, Americans will get what they want: higher taxes for the wealthy, lower taxes for the middle class and the working poor being able to re-enter middle class status again. I know, these past few days have been real sad for the right, but they deserved it. America spoke up and they lost. Besides, most Americans who voted for Mittens this past election were either rich, stupid or didn't want a black dude in the White House. Now, these people are in the minority, and the people who spoke up won. Ladies and gents, let's raise our Blue Hawaiians for the man who will keep America strong for the next four years.

Bee-otch of the Day honors are awarded Monday through Thursday, Bee-otch of the Week is awarded Friday on Chuck69.com. DON'T FORGET TO "LIKE" BEE-OTCH OF THE DAY ON FACEBOOK! ------------------   Name: National Rifle Association Age: 142 Occupation: right-wing gun lobbyists Last Seen: Fairfax, VA Bee-otched For: capitalizing on Sandy Hook  --- Yesterday, President Obama did something that pleased many Americans who believe in what the Second Amendment truly stood for. In front of children and even those affected by the massacre at Sandy Hook several weeks ago, he proposed legislation that would limit the sale of assault weapons and ammunition. And yes, needless to say, the National Rifle Association was probably shitting its pants over this. Because of the president's proposal of banning assault rifles, the organization released the ad seen above criticizing the president for his policies and not wanting to adopt theirs. Shortly after the Sandy Hook tragedy, NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre revealed his plan to reduce school violence: put guards in every school in America. Too bad there were guards at Columbine the day Kyle Harris and Dylan Klebold opened fire. Yeah, real classy for the NRA to shove Sasha and Malia into the gun debate. Their school has guards in part because THEY'RE THE PRESIDENT'S DAUGHTERS! DUH! I know, each child's life is as important as the next, but should a school in a small town of 500 with virtually no crime have the same police protection as an inner-city school in a city of thousands that's loaded with crime and guns? Probably not. Soon, even movie theatres, under the NRA mandate would have guards too, jacking up the price of admission. Yep, the NRA sure loves America to be a police state so Jim Bob White Trash Redneck can have his AK-47 while your kid has to go through the po-po to get to class. Folks, when the Second Amendment was signed, the only guns we had were muskets that took forever to load and shoot. Our Founding Fathers didn't sign it with machine guns in mind. Sandy Hook happened in part because Nancy Lanza was a doomsday believer and loaded up herself up with guns and ammo, and her mentally unstable Autistic son Adam knew about it. Instead of taking his anger to a counselor or trusted individual, he took it out on small elementary school children. Remember, folks, not long after the Columbine incident, the NRA was airing 30-minute infomercials hosted by then-president Charlton Heston that did the same thing: blasted celebrities who were anti-gun but yet had their kids go to schools with armed guards. Yet, when Michael Moore confronted the actor at his house in Bowling For Columbine, he stuck his tail between his legs and walked away when Moore gave him a picture of a little girl killed by a little boy with a gun at a Flint, MI elementary school. You see, the right doesn't really care about kids, after all. They only want this nation to remain the most-violent nation on Earth and blame it all on the media. Look, other nations did the right thing and banned assault weapons and their gun crimes are only a few dozen. We had 11,000 gun deaths last year. Here in Grand Rapids, we had nine gun deaths since the beginning of this year. Let's show the world that we're not going to stand up to these right-winged nutjobs and reverse all this. We need fewer guns, not more. As Wayne LaPierre said, "the best way to get rid of a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun".

BECOME AN AFFILIATE OF T-SHIRT HELL AND MAKE SOME MONEY! Bee-otch of the Day honors are awarded Monday through Thursday, Bee-otch of the Week is awarded Friday on Chuck69.com. DON'T FORGET TO "LIKE" BEE-OTCH OF THE DAY ON FACEBOOK! ------------------ Name: Rick Snyder Age: 53 Occupation: failed CEO Last Seen: Ann Arbor, MI Bee-otched For: capitalizing on his new little law  --- Another good reason why I want 2014 to come sooner.... One of the saddest news stories of 2012 was when Michigan governor Rick Snyder signed into law the state's right to work status. For many, this means the end of unions in this state for all we know. Without unions, this means that many in Michigan will now have to work for low wages and higher chances of dying at work from being forced to do something they shouldn't be doing. Now, the unpopular governor is using his new law to his advantage by using the state's tourism dollars to promote it. For years, the state's Pure Michigan campaign has drawn millions of tourists to the Great Lakes State, but Snyder has decided to use it to attract business, especially those whose passion is to make millions while their employees work too many hours for low wages. The full-page ad, which was published in Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal touts Michigan's new right-to-work law by calling it a "preferred place to do business" and talks about lower taxes for businesses as well. While many conservatives praise Snyder, many are calling his misuse of the Pure Michigan campaign absolute stupidity. Some claim that Snyder making Pure Michigan a Republican campaign was a bad decision and nothing short of disgusting. Well, I tend to agree. Look, folks, 2014 can't come sooner. I, and so many people here in Michigan want Snyder out. Just another failed CEO who is just like Bush, trying to do good but will fail in the long run. Shame on him for trying to make this state more for the wealthy and less about the hard-working people like you and me who keep this state moving. I hope our next governor will be just like Jennifer Granholm and work hard for the working class and to create solutions to get this state back on track. And kissing billionaire ass ain't one of them. ---- Got a Bee-otch to nominate? E-mail us @ chuck69dotcom@gmail.com. All suggestions (except for me) are welcome!

1.15.13 Bee-otch of the Day: Hobby Lobby

BECOME AN AFFILIATE OF T-SHIRT HELL AND MAKE SOME MONEY! Bee-otch of the Day honors are awarded Monday through Thursday, Bee-otch of the Week is awarded Friday on Chuck69.com. DON'T FORGET TO "LIKE" BEE-OTCH OF THE DAY ON FACEBOOK! ------------------ Name: Hobby Lobby Age: 41 Occupation: arts and crafts store Last Seen: Oklahoma City, OK Bee-otched For: not wanting to be Jesus to their employees   --- Dear Hobby Lobby, what would Jesus do? Really? The so-called Christian retailer has found a way to avoid paying a $18.2 million fine in regards to the Affordable Healthcare Act (or "Obamacare"). Under the mandate, the billion-dollar company would have had to pay for contraceptives for their female employees. However, the company claims that the law affected the company and founder David Green's religious beliefs and is now trying to take a stand against the government by not allowing their female workers the care that they need. Now, according to their lawyer, the company, which just revealed their newest health care plan has found a loophole to avoid paying the fines, at least for several months. Hobby Lobby is a popular arts and crafts megastore chain that bases their business practices on Christian values. The music heard in their stores is predominately Christian and none of their locations are open Sundays. However, Green is breaking one giant law in the Bible: he's worth $2.6 billion. Ever hear of camels going through needles, Dave? I'll betcha that Green's the type that thinks that if one of his female employees is raped, it's her fault. After all, in the feeble Jebus freak mind, God sent the rapist to force her to bend over and take it so she can be his baby mommy. OK, there's adoption, but wasting nine months to give birth to somebody who might as well be like his Dad? Sorry, but there's too many of that in this country. As somebody who doesn't buy many arts and crafts as-is, I'm happy to say that I've never stepped foot into a Hobby Lobby and probably never will. Thanks, but I was raised on Ben Franklin and many of their locations are run by families trying to make it like you and me, not billionaires who use false religious values to make a buck. Oh, and many Ben Franklins are open Sundays. :) ---- Got a Bee-otch to nominate? E-mail us @ chuck69dotcom@gmail.com. All suggestions (except for me) are welcome!
