Story link in an attempt to stall liberal whine:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070605/ap_on_go_co/congressman_probe

quote 1 William Jefferson D-La.
"I have supported every ethics and lobbying reform measure that you and our Democratic Majority have authored."
quote 2
It is inappropriate for any other member to impose on these proceedings," Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, D-Ohio, chairwoman of the Standards of Official Conduct committee, "I refuse to allow these proceedings to be politicized by House Republican leadership
quote 3.
"In doing so, I, of course, express no admission of guilt or culpability in that or any other matter that may be pending in any court or before the House of Representatives,"

1.) Why is John Boehner forced to clean up Pelosis mess while being stalled by the regimes "ethics" comittee
2.)How is having 90k in bribe money in your freezer supporting anyone but Jefferson.
3.)Why would Pelosi take over two years to form an "investigation" and only by force?

I bring up the middle name of Barack HUSSEIN Obama only because he is trying to minimize his middle name. His supporters say it is a common name in muslim culture.

Do you think this will make a certain number of americans think bad about him?

What do you think?

My stepson turned 18 in March. He did not finish high school, he is taking night classes to get his diploma, (or so we are told) He works under the table during the day and still lives with his mother. Child support was never court ordered, we just pay each week, do we have to keep paying now that he is 18? They will be moving out of state in about a month. We live in Massachusetts. Thank you

We have a car that we have for sale signs on the windows and is parked on the road outside our house (as we don't have a driveway). We had a neighbour pass comment that she hoped we weren't going into selling cars.
I'd heard that there was something not right about selling them. We asked a traffic warden and he wasn't 100% sure but had it was illegal andwe should check with the police. We are in the UK.
Does anyone have any further information about this? Thanks

i work for petsmart as a groomer. I've been doing it for 2 months now and for various reasons I no longer want to. One of the reasons being, i want to work my other job full time. My other job has nothing to do with animals or grooming them. I live in a state with at will employment. There is only one clause and that clause is the compete clause. By going to my other job I certainly will not be competing with petsmart. In order to become a groomer there you need to go to their academy. When you have worked enough as a bather/brusher they ask you if you'd like to go and if you say yes they send you to a store with a master stylist where they teach you the trade. They pay you 40 hr weeks at your pay rate to be there. They even offer travel compensation for this. You have to pay 632 bucks for your equipment which is taken out of your paychecks weekly after you've completed training.
They make you sign a contract before you go stating that the value of your training is...

My husband works for the city at a convention center in SF as an attendant/event staff. Last Wednesday he worked graveyard from 10:30pm to 7am. His lunch was around 3:30am and he used that time to get a ride back to our house (which is 10minutes away) to pick up the car so I wouldn't have to pick him up later. He left my house around 4am-4:15am, and then came home from his shift later that morning at 8am. Around 10am, he was called for a meeting with the HR manager. She basically informed him that a "call-girl" came in that morning and complained that she had sexual relations with a worker and didn't get paid. They showed her pictures and she pointed out my husband. She said it happened around 3:30ish and lasted around 45 minutes. Overall, they fired him because his number was in her cell phone. But my husband left his phone charging in the lunchroom before he went to my house. I am positive this is false because i KNOW he was at my house. Can we sue for firing him with no evidence?

This energy source will eliminate many concurrent problems facing the US and the world yet we the people continue to be manipulated in believeing that the energy sources that are being utilized are the only sources available to us. Now, anyone who wants to thoroughly research this subject will ultimately come across electro magnetic energy. This subject seems to be the most controversial subject that enters the US patent office in years. Many scientists and engineers have been silenced and threatened to stop work on inventions that could possibly place the current status quo energy companies at risk????Congresswoman Berkley recently placed a bill before the house to revive the Office Technological Assessment. Here could be the beginning of a thorough investigation into the feasibility of such green energy sources and provide the public and their representatives a true scientific fact finding group to enhance the knowledge so one can become more versed in issues that are before us.

I have seen a lot of things in life, but this is just horrible. I read a question earlier that said
"How can Democrats support pro-choice, but not like the death sentence?"
She made great points! then i read some answers that pushed me over the edge. How can people sit there and say that its not murder? its just a 'fetus.' That is a poor helpless child living inside of a woman and then they want to just decide to murder her own flesh and blood. Its makes me SICK!

Then people use it as an excuse, what if she was gang banged by several men and raped...SO?!?! did that child have a choice to be born, it was not that innocent childs fault! PERIOD! a woman does not have to murder her child, it is also a part of her as well.

I don't think it should be an option to MURDER an innocent life, at all! They should go through the entire pregnancy and give it up for adoption, instead of shredding the baby by the pieces, just so that 'women' can be at piece.

ABORTION = MURDER!

SOME GIRL says her some BOY FRIEND(both live in **INDIA**) that
she loves him,she'll marry him & always love him in her whole life.
In consideration of this PROMISE of her HE gives her
1-his love
2-his time & friendship
3-his emotional support
4-his companionship
5- general guidance,advises & suggestions
But after 1 year of affair she says that it was her mistake ..she don't love him, won't love him &won't marry him.
If that man wants to SUE her; can COURT take these all things, as consideration of promise of ''loving always & marriage'' by GIRLFRIEND in India?
Can that man LEGALLY force her to continue loving ,meeting ,talking with him & to marry him because he has given above mentioned considerations in past for her promise?
What punishment (jail or fine) can be given to her by COURT of laws for BREACH OF TRUST in India?

Is the main problem with Illegal Immgration the fact that it is illegal?
I've seen answers to other questions that the real problem is that our economy cannot stand immigration from the issues of welfare, taxes, and etc.
Or are people simply attempting to find another fault in the government?
Why is Illegal Immigration an issue today?

To celebrate all the great achievements the brits have pulled off at the cost of innocent lives both at "home"? and abroad. You could invite some yanks back who may even find unknown offsprings from the second world war they left the stupid women with who flocked after them for a few pairs of stockings and some chewing gum ? You could show some films of Vietnam and *Napalm* etc. Could it take place somewhere like say Bradford or Birmingham ? Imagine the support on the streets if Georgie W and Tony B where to appear as the two cheeks of one great a r s e for all the world to cheer on ? What a great spectacle that would be for Britain eh ? Everyone could get DRUNK in good old true brit style !! You could staff the event with casual hired labour from one of the thousands of scab agencies in britain....use the Polish or some other disadvantaged underpaid 'slave' workers ? And how about all the LITTER it would create to mark GREAT britain in all it's real true colours ?

6 years ago, I was arrested for being with my girlfriend (we were only 2 years and 2 months apart in age, I had just turned 18 and she was about to turn 16), and she even testified in front of the judge that I did no wrong (ie. rape, etc.). The prosecutors tried for felony charges, prison time, etc. but my lawyer talked them down to 2 misdemeanor counts - Child Abuse and Lewd Battery.

There is a statute in Florida preventing me from having my record sealed or expunged. I am now stuck with this forever, for not really doing anything wrong.

I just moved to a new city to finish school (pre-reqs for Pharmacy school, which from what I've been told I can thankfully still get into) and have been denied time and time again for apartments here, along with a few jobs.

What on earth can I do? It's frustrating because I've always been a 4.0 student, and never gotten in ANY trouble before or after this.

I'm to the point of thinking of just moving to another country.

Just looking for some hope.

WE hired a contractor to build some add-ons to our home. WE have a written contract stating what he would do and how much he would get payed. Unfortunately we had a misunderstanding with him and he broke the contract after leaving the project halfway done and receiving 39500 of the 42000 dollars that would have been payed to him. The contractor is unlicensed. Is there a lawsuit possible?
