isn't it weird that during Bushes 1st run at the presidency the last state to cast its vote was florida who is the brother bush and there ballets were all screwed up. but of cource ended up in bushes favor..... I dought he really won the 2nd term either. I dont think americans are that stupid to vote for him again after his 1st term. But I am sure him and his vice president and other key members of his staff are making a killing in there war with all there interest groups.

Have you really examined Mr. Paul's ideas? What's your view of him?

Obviously I am the wrong "something" because I am not a Illegal Alien or a refugee...I am only married to an American (for 6 years)and have two children who are American but they are going to make me pay out the A** and run around and around the same paperwork trail for months to get anything legal done...*sigh*

Its kind of complex but Ill try to make it short.
We moved out of our lease early but we got a subleasor to take over our lease. We painted a stripe on a single wall when we lived there and the subleasor loves it. Our lease ended and our landlord sent us back our security deposit. 90 dollars was deducted due the the painted wall. He said it is going to cost him that much in labor and materials to paint the wall (this stripe was literally 5 feet long and 1 1/2 foot wide. He also deducted 25 dollars for a light bulb fixture that was broken in the basement (the basement was accessible to both residences of the house, it was a duplex.) We truthfully did not break the fixture, Im pretty sure the subleasor broke it when she was putting stuff downstairs to store) Can he deduct that from our deposit?
I want to take him to small claims for the 110 that he owes us, how do i do that? what do you think about the situation?

1999 war games predicted problems in Iraq
Exercise showed that chaos was possible even with 400,000 troops
WASHINGTON - The U.S. government conducted a series of secret war games in 1999 that anticipated an invasion of Iraq would require 400,000 troops, and even then chaos might ensue.
In its “Desert Crossing” games, 70 military, diplomatic and intelligence officials assumed the high troop levels would be needed to keep order, seal borders and take care of other security needs.
“The conventional wisdom is the U.S. mistake in Iraq was not enough troops,” said Thomas Blanton, the archive’s director. “But the Desert Crossing war game in 1999 suggests we would have ended up with a failed state even with 400,000 troops on the ground.”

August 10, 2007 - A top seismologist is warning that another major earthquake is in our future, a big one that could devastate Southern California, from the desert to the sea.
Jones says that region is long overdue, and the seismic clock is ticking.

Jones says a magnitude 7.8 quake or more could collapse major freeways, knock down buildings in Downtown L.A., kill thousands of people and cause hundreds of billions of dollars in damage.

Officials in the Coachella Valley say they're taking her warning very seriously.

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED LIBERALS...we will not accept blame on this one.

He got caught with vicodin and I want to know if he really needs to get an attorney to represent him if all he wants to ask for is work-release or can he just ask the judge on his own? He wasnt allowed a court represented attorney because of how much he makes, but an attorney we asked for advice wants 2500 down- and my friend doesnt just have that kind of money to pull out his butt. So, can he represent himself and ask for workrelease or does he need to cough up 2500 for a attorney?

I had a situation in November 2006 where a nurse accidentally gave me 10 times the amount of dexamethasone I was supposed to take and I ended up going into shock for 2 days. I was critical during that time.

But I'm on disability and the lawyer isn't taking my case - if I was a rich person they'd have a clear cut obvious case and so why can't I have a case too. Just because I'm on SSDI?

Doesn't my life matter too?

I guess only the lives of the wealthy matter.

At least on this earth.

I know lawyers say that's how it is - but don't any of you people have a conscience? when you have a disabled person where they did negligence? So what's stopping medical people from killing all these people? nothing in my mind. They can "accidentally" kill whatever undesireable people they want to kill and ther's nothing anyone can do about it.

Well my life has value, and I want to sue these people and I want money for my suffering like any rich person would get.

thank you

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.

Bush budget officials said the administration “strongly opposes” both the 3.5 percent raise for 2008 and the follow-on increases, calling extra pay increases “unnecessary.”

It seems to me that medical providers get away with all kinds of gross negligence with elderly people, and if they die - they go - well they were old, or they had this or that problem, - they always have something that backs them up legally - when in truth what killed them was the doctor's mistake. - example. My wife died in June 2006 at 42. she had a long history of heart trouble due to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - the night before she cam to the ER and she was symptomatic and it passed and they let her go home. she practically begged them to keep her - telling them that it's normal procedure to keep anyone with hypertrophic cardio myopathyh overnight if they are symptomatic. The doctor didn't understand the condition and let her go home and he was an IDIOT because he didn't know and didn't try to get help - he could have got her to another facility at that time. Next day she dies of sudden death. I still maintain it was the doctor's negligence

I forgot to add these bases to my previous question- what base is best for a military family? We have to pick three preferences so were trying to narrow it down. Any and all information would be great! Thanks! Soldiers mos is personnel and rank is sergeant.

Fort Rucker- Alabama
Redstone Arsenal- Alabama
Fort Mccoy- Wisconsin

Also any other recommendations for other bases would be great. Any information on these bases, positive or negative would be great. The other bases we are considering are-

Fort Lee- Virginia
Fort Sill- Oklahoma
Fort Shafter- Hawaii
Fort Leavenworth- Kansas

You know that white paint that you can get? How much trouble could I get in if I wrote...

"I cheated on my wife and ruined my 7 year old son's family"

Don't get me wrong, I already booted his ***, but this would be so satisfying. Just knowing that he was driving with that on the back of his car all day (he always backs in spots)
