Politics & Government - 26 April 2007

Here is my situation:

I am a single mom- buying a used car for the first time. I went to a major dealership in the area. And bought a 2002 car that was told that was safety checked. 3 month 3,000 powertrans warranty.

36 hours later- traveled about an hour and half away, and the car won't start. i call the dealership. They say it's right that i called them and I shouldn't deal with the service people in that area- but they will send out a tow truck.

Fast forward- they covered the new starter and installation- but charged me $300 tow fee to bring me back home. I feel that 36 hours later they should pay for ALL of it, especially since they said that I should be brought back- rather than deal with people in the area i was in.

To get my car- I paid the money. I am so upset. I especially hate how these men treated me tonight.

Should I complain to the owner in the morning, or "just take it" (forget about it). Do you think they will cover it?

So many lies so little time seems to be the Bush administration's theme don't you think?

They have always yearned for the glory days of Watergate-- but every election they send cannon fodder: George McGovern, Jimmy Carter. Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore, and John Kerry. Did you enjoy the 3 terms of a Bushes in office and 2 of Reagan? Now, a man you call a chimp rules- vetoes you, and you can do nothing. Republicans have denied your wish to have your United World of People's Socialist Republic. But you are also angry because you know you, with your party will once more cause you to sink like a stone beneath the waves of oblivion and defeat. How does it feel to be entering history as a footnote of an failed abhorrent mutant generation, fast tracked to extinction?

Orangeburg SC is a very small town that is 90% black 35 miles from the state capital. Was it for show, are they looking for black votes in a white republican state.

About one month ago I handed three letters to the mailman (power bill, water bill, and credit card bill). He was standing at the mailbox filling everyone else's mail and said he would take mine, so I handed the letters to him. Well yesterday I get a notice from the power company saying they are shutting my power off. Then today I find out my c.c. is past due. I put two and two together and remembered that I handed the letters to him. I don't know what he did w/ them, but my bills never got paid. Tomorrow, I probably won't have water too. I have never paid late on any of my bills, so hopefully my credit won't be affected. What kind of recourse do I have for this (if any)?

Indian judiciary is becoming too sensitive day by day. The kissing inciedent between Shilpa Shetty and Richard Gere is just a simple thing. When the inciedent happend in Kanpur what made the Jaipur Magistrate to react. Section 294 of IPC is a cognizable offence and with out a complaint from victim court can't do any thing. Without the appearance of Gere the proceedings will be quashed by either Rajashtan High Court of if not Supreme Court of India will do it. Come on Indian Judiciary move on there is nothing wrong in a person kissing on the cheek even though it is in public.

Do you think they nation would have an issue with a white male scholarship since it thus far has only embraced minority scholarships? Would it be called racist by the same people that support all black or all female programs?

My roommate has decided to move out 6 mths into a yr lease. She tried to get off the lease, but our replacement was not approved and the landlord is refusing to let her out of the lease, since she knows we cannot afford the place without her. She says since she told me she was moving out (almost) a month before, that she is not responsible for her part of the rent. She says that it is our responsibility to pay it, but I say that since she is 1/3 of the lease she is responsible for her part still.
My question is, if she gave a month notice but was not let off the lease by the landlord is she still legally responsible for her part?
Our landlord made it clear that the rent is due by the first regardless of how it's made (in other words if one person can't make it all 3 of us are responsible to get it paid). So I'm assuming that if we chose not to pay it at all all 3 of us would be sued. So, if the 2 of us cover her portion, can we legally go after her for the months she refused to pay?

So what if he does. Halliburton has already collected their billions. As has other US big business.

(No money for the troops, my foot. After four years, and our troops still don't have the proper equipment.
