    70 years in business, and it only took King anti-Midas a week to turn it to poo.

    Celebrating this business's failure is pretty pathetic

    Celebrating it? I think it sucks that a 70-year community staple has been destroyed by Obama's economy. They even managed to make it through the Carter years.

    Well, they put up there with the economy, the smoking ban as a reason the business failed. Since it happened in 2006, I can only imagine we have bush to blame for that one?

    Also, saying you think it sucks, and beginning the post with :ghoti: seems contradictory, I dunno.

    Well, the :ghoti: suggests you're happy this happened. It looks like your reveling in other people's hardships

    After 70 years, they might have socked enough $$$ to fund 5 years of negative cash flow.

    Tho this is clearly embarrassing for O.

    I see no connection to Obama, other than he gave Chet another couple years he wouldn't have had, and has so far save Inky and Rudy.

    I blame Ohio voters for passing the smoking ban.

    Oregon's ban has had the same effect on bars, pubs and taverns.

    Newt Gingrich once shook Obama's hand, and yesterday his campaign turned to stone.

    I'm disappointed. I figured this would be a story about Paul Allen buying yet another business and driving it straight into the shitter.

    I wonder how many businesses failed or went bankrupt during Bush's 8 years.

    well, I guess I mean Clintons second 8 years, since if it was something bad, it wasn't Bush's doing.

    No it's Obama's fault, because when the business was already failing, Obama gave them some money to help! And then they failed anyways! :MARIS61:

    For someone convinced that we're all going to die a horrible, cancerous death from Fukushima Daiichi's meltdowns, here's something from the EPA:
    I'll let you guess which amount of radiation is higher.
