I know their primary role was to get rid of the rats and mice on board, and as such the need for a cat has probably died out, but wondered if they might keep them on for tradition or somesuch?

Thanks!

For all you people who keep saying that the democrats are doing nothing, listen to this. They just passed their 6 bills in 100 hours successfully. What do ya think about that?

She is beautiful and smart and has a real get things done attitude the likes of which Washington hasn't seen in years. A real breath of fresh air in DC! Why, even conservatives are softening under her charm and great unifying spirit!

I have been in the catering and wine trade for a long time and have seen many unscrupulous drivers take the wheel after more than the legal limit. I have known people convicted of drink-driving offences and known people injured or killed by drivers over the limit. Since those who drink and drive do not expect to get caught or have an accident (and thus are not scared of any possible ensuing penalties or damage to people or property), how might you suggest we keep this scourge off the roads to protect the innocent lives driving while intoxicated can damage?

Someone please tell me I am dreaming, 2 US border guards were sentence to 10 years in prison for what? Shooting a illegal in the buttocks who pulled a gun on them and tried to smuggle 80lbs of marijuana into the US.

The Us attorney general got the illegal to come back and testify after granting immunity from prosecution. As we as a nation gone mad. I would like to hear from conservative and republicans on their view of this event is this a sign of where our nation is heading.
As for liberal democrats it is going to be difficult to respond because your side as already indicated that the would like to grant US citizenship to all of Mexico.

No two countries have the same Gini Index or the same percentage of all income earned by the top 10% - why is it that some (African and Latin American) countries have such huge gaps between rich and poor while others (mostly in Europe) have a much lower gap / less inequality? What can high inequality countries do to even things out? What can we do here to encourage them?

Why do they fail to mention that the reasons the war was approved was largely due to the lies or uhumm "faulty intelegence" presented by Cheney, Bush, Powell, and others, in their successful attempt to sell the war? Is it a memory lasp or just plain denial at work?

Two stores on a street...all things equal and right next to each other...same size, parking, etc.

Each store's rent is $1000 per month with a one year lease. After a year the first store is doing fantastic. The second store is not doing well but survives.

The landlord surmizes that the first store is doing 3x better than the second and decides it will be $3000 for the first store to renew the least and $900 for the second store.

Is this usury?

What is the difference whether it's charging a fee for a loan (the use of money) or charging a fee for a retail location (the use of a physical space)?

Lets face it people the Middle East is broken up into Tribes, each tribe would like to see the other DEAD. They have been fighting each other for many hundreds of years. They proberly don't even remember why these days.
Saddam was a hero in his tribe and killed many of the other tribes. Saddam for all his killings kept the tribes from major wars; they were scared of this madman! Yet he kept control.
Is that what is needed again? Do you really think freedom will ever rule in the Middle East? How long before another Ruler like Saddam comes along.
The Leaders in Iraq now will slowly be killed off because they worked with the American's.
Democracy might work for a time over there, just look at history, they used to have Democracy and canned it.
