"Men are so simple and so much inclined to obey immediate needs that a deceiver will never lack victims for his deceptions."

Fed up! A Texas bank is calling it quits

Going Galt

 

Main Street Bank lends most of its money to small businesses and is earning decent profits. But the Kingwood, Texas, bank is about to get out of the banking business.

 

In an extreme example of the frustration felt by many bankers as regulators toughen their oversight of the nation's financial institutions, Main Street's chairman, Thomas Depping, is expected to announce Wednesday that the 27-year-old bank will surrender its banking charter and sell its four branches to a nearby bank.

He said: 'Don't you believe all that stuff people here are giving media folk about how sorry they are about what happened. When they talk to each other, they say: "It was a great fire man!"

Despite growing resistance to smokeless tobacco, major league ban might be difficult to attain

Nannies target MLB

 

A.J. Burnett reached inside a circular tin this past winter, pinched off a lump of finely ground tobacco and wedged it between his lower lip and gum, a process known as "packing a dip."

 

Burnett had dipped hundreds of times before, so he didn't think twice about the bulge protruding from his mouth, or the brown saliva he would soon need to spit out, or the consequences his habit might have on his health. It would have stayed this way, too, had Burnett not felt a tug on the back of his shirt.
