Please feel free to define progressive in any area you like. (e.g. Socially progressive, fiscally progressive etc.) Why do you believe the city that you selected is progressive?

The sister of one of the arrested has claimed that the men were being 'set-up'. The authorities say the men had sworn allegiance to al-Qaeda, but had no contacts with it ". What do you say?

"The U.S. Supreme Court is about to rule on one case. And in another, in Washington state, a fruit grower recently agreed to an out-of-court, $1.3 million settlement. The firm admitted no wrongdoing, but it is the first time legal U.S. workers will be paid damages for depressed wages connected to illegal immigrants, according to the employees' attorney."

I bet that we could do without any more new laws forever more. disolve the government (senate and house, at least), and repeal a lot of unused and obsolete laws that, due to technology, are no longer revelant today. what do you think?

How about this?
$100 to each leagl resident alien and citizen for each illegal reported?
This money could come from siezure of bank accounts, homes, cars, and personal posessions of the illegal person (to be sold at auctions).
We build (one per state) housing facilities with bunks and showers. Personal grooming items to be provided by the illegals themselves from their former abode and theese facilities to be paid for from proceeds of captured illegals also.
Illegals to be held until the country that the illegal came from pays their plane ticket home!
One week of food is to be provided per illegal.
We notify, through the UNITED NATIONS of this policy. No country can complain, as we are giving one weeks worth of food and if they starve, it is due to the illegal's home country's decision not to help out their own citizen!
HELL! We have Gold stored form every country on earth in Fort Knox and in NYC. We can just deduct plane fare from these holdings and just send them backs

After all, diabetes, heart disease, and other health issues related to obesity are costing the American public untold amounts of money each year. We are paying through the nose to dole out medical care to the uninsured. And even those that are insured cost the system by raising insurance rates.

This is the same logic used to make seat belts and motorcycle helmets mandatory, as well as some efforts to ban smoking all together (I'm not talking about second hand smoke).

Does it make sense? If so, where will it end?

Is this just the Rove-Bush hate machine keeping the controversy going about the Iraq war?
Don't you think this is just another attempt by Rove-Bush to stifle the media?

My husband has a court order for temp physical custody of his child. We went to have her served with the papers and to get the child. She refused to give the child to my husband, we had a cop with us for peace keeping. he said that it is up to him if the child is to be removed from the home and go back to court and get an order to remove the child by force. We were then told that even if we do go back to court it will STILL be up to the police if they want to enforce it. Even with the judge saying that the child is to be with my husband. If it is up to the police why did we pay the COURT over $400.00 to file the papers. I would like to know how they can do this and what do we do now? How is this even legal? This child's mother is on drugs and boze. We are worried for her well being.

I think it is name recognition and good hair.

The First one is obvious. People go with who they know.

If you doubt me on the second one look at all the past Presidents.

Compare the percentage of Presidents without hair to the Percentage of men age 35 and over without hair. Get the picture.
