My stylist, the makeup guy and the two designers my company works with are all Liberal and they are excellent at their work! My boyfriend is a Republican, though, and he can't tell a shawl from a wrap! He just knows about drinking beer and watching football. He's great in other ways, though.
Anyway, how come Liberal guys are so gifted with fashion?

Are you absolutely sure your insurance will cover you for whatever health crisis may come your way?
Do you not see 45 Million people not having medical insurance as a problem?
Do you think the HMO or PPO restrictions are a fair business practice?
Even if you saw the documentary 'Sicko' and still think it's self-serving propaganda....did it bring up any issues that you think are credible concerns?
Do you think something needs to be done to fix the 'profit over patients' component of health insurance companies decisions?
I feel that "Sicko" accomplished one good thing.
It brought this health insurance coverage problem to the forefront and now we really can't ignore the fact that things need to be fixed here!
Maybe now we can accomplish something substantial!

Bush vs. America
by Jack Lessenberry
George W. Bush is more and more frequently referred to as “the worst president in the history of America” by those who know the background and pay attention to what’s going on. However, that description may be too mild.
We may need an entirely new classification. For more than five years we’ve had an administration that has shown consistent contempt for the rule of law, for the Constitution, for Congress, for the American people and for the facts. They’re squandering trillions of dollars, the effects of which will be felt much more severely in the decades to come.
They have failed to catch the mastermind of al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, and instead have helped increase that nasty band of thugs with our ham-handed tactics. We have ruined Iraq, doing far more damage to it than Saddam Hussein ever dreamed of. Hundreds of thousands are dead.
All for a war which we are doomed to lose, in a country we’ll leave once somebody in Washington calculates that the voters won’t put up with any more dead Americans, a number which will reach 4,000 in three months or so.
So far, the corpse count hasn’t excited many Georgetown or Ann Arbor cocktail parties, because in this war, those fighting are mostly inner-city blacks, jobless rural whites and Hispanics who are trying to earn their way to citizenship.
Eventually, however, even the liberals may start to get uneasy. Last week, in what should have been a sudden epiphany for the half-asleep, this administration gave us a sharp lesson in just how thoroughly corrupt it is.
That was when Our Supreme Leader announced he was commuting the sentence of I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, who was sentenced to 30 months in the slam after being convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice. Libby, you may remember, was the former chief of staff for Vice President Richard Cheney.
Libby leaked to the press, presumably at his master’s direction, that the blond bombshell Valerie Plame was an undercover CIA agent. This was printed, which destroyed her effectiveness and career, as they intended it would. Why did the Bush administration want to do that?
Simple. Her husband, a former ambassador named Joseph Wilson, had angered the Bushies by telling the truth publicly, which was that his investigation revealed that Saddam Hussein had never tried to buy uranium from Niger.
Libby was tried, convicted and duly sentenced by an experienced and fair federal judge. Previously, the Shrub had said he would do nothing till the appeals process had run its course. Something, however, happened to change his mind.
After five years of trying to govern by propaganda, George Bush suddenly decided that a strong dose of George Orwell’s doublespeak is exactly what was needed instead. “I respect the jury’s verdict,” he said, and in his next breath showed he didn’t respect the jury, or the judge, in the slightest, by adding, “I have concluded that the prison sentence given to Mr. Libby is excessive.”
Never mind that our intellectually challenged and allegedly dyslexic prexy never set foot in law school, or that the Constitution gives the responsibility for determining sentences and punishment to the courts. That doesn’t matter because, as he sees it and likes to say, “I am the decider.”
But why now? The normally cautious New York Times openly speculated Bush could be worried about what Libby might say once he realized he was at the tender mercies of the guards and his fellow convicts.
For a little perspective, let’s compare this with what actually happened in Watergate, the only scandal that ever actually brought a president down.
What few remember now is that Watergate actually was sort of a comic-opera bugging episode in which a band of Cuban exiles, under the supervision of whacked-out former spy Howard Hunt, tried to bug the Democratic National Committee offices one night in June 1972. This was immensely stupid, since it was perfectly clear the Democratic nominee, George McGovern, was going to lose by a landslide.
They were caught in the act; Hunt was stupid enough to have the White House’s phone number in his pocket. Eventually, Nixon ordered an illegal and clumsy attempt at covering the mess up - and taped himself doing it. Yes, he did other bad stuff, but what I just told you was the essence of why he had to resign. That, and the fact the tape showed he was a real potty-mouth. In that long-ago time, Americans never imagined Their President could possibly be a man who would say “**********.”
George W. Bush is a man who has constructed secret prisons and authorized torture - not only here but in other countries. He started a war and lied about why. He has invaded our privacy illegally, authorizing wiretaps in a way forbidden by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. When all that was needed was to ask a secret court for rubber-stamp permission, he didn’t even do that.
What America - what all of us - needs to ask now is this:
• Why isn’t Congress - right now - authorizing committees to investigate what this president and vice president knew and when they knew it? (House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers: Your move, sir.)
• Why aren’t journalists in America demanding an investigation to what seems to be an organized cover-up and obstruction of justice?
• Why doesn’t someone - Senate Armed Services Chairman Carl Levin, say - demand the White House explain its strategy for the Iraq War?
That strategy seems to consist of having our soldiers drive up and down the roads, getting blown up, until one day the insurgents adopt democracy.
We have a world crisis and a sick democracy at home, and our puppet masters are cleverly amusing us to death with Paris Hilton.

Is pushing a car off a cliff illegal in the United States if you do not report it to the insurance agency? Even as a crim major, I am not sure about this one. Basically, the circumstances would be to buy a car from a junk yard and push it off a high cliff and walk away. I think this has to fall under an environmental law or litter law.
I'm not doing this myself, it just came up in conversation.

I got this idea from reading someone else's answer:
Everytime an illegal is caught, they are fingerprinted. Those fingerprints along with their picture are put into a database. The name of that database is the "Will never be allowed to become an American" database.
Effective or not?

My boyfriend and I have been dating for a little over a year now, but have been in each other's lives for much longer. He just recently joined the Army again, and is due to begin Special Forces selection this upcoming September. We have talked about marriage and are planning on getting engaged within the next year. However, he wants me to make sure I know exactly what I'm getting myself into. I'm just curious to see how other women are handling or have handled being married to or dating a Special Forces Soldier, if anyone has any examples or advice I am happy to hear it! I realize that he may not make it through selection and the phases thereafter, however, I'm just trying to gain a perspective on the type of lifestyle which could be in my future. And regardless of what happens, I plan on marrying this man, that has never been a doubt in my mind, would just like to hear of other people's stories... thanks!

White House opposes 3.5 percent pay raise
By Rick Maze - Staff writer
Posted : Wednesday May 16, 2007 17:47:40 EDT
Troops don’t need bigger pay raises, White House budget officials said Wednesday in a statement of administration policy laying out objections to the House version of the 2008 defense authorization bill.
The Bush administration had asked for a 3 percent military raise for Jan. 1, 2008, enough to match last year’s average pay increase in the private sector. The House Armed Services Committee recommends a 3.5 percent pay increase for 2008, and increases in 2009 through 2012 that also are 0.5 percentage point greater than private-sector pay raises.
The slightly bigger military raises are intended to reduce the gap between military and civilian pay that stands at about 3.9 percent today. Under the bill, HR 1585, the pay gap would be reduced to 1.4 percent after the Jan. 1, 2012, pay
