I thought they figured it out when they were stuck in the Superdome and the Convention center for days with no signs of rescue.

Two years later and they are still complaining about what the government ISN'T doing. When will they get the memo that they will have to get jobs and do for themselves?

Isn't that the lesson that should have been learned immediately after that unfortunate tragedy?

Since we don't have money why do you get upset?

Since your throwing money at the problem, isn't that just like welfare.

I guess for cons ignorance is bliss.

My father was made executor of both his parents estates, but the succession is dragging out for 2 years now. My question is : Can the executor of the estate fire the estate attorney? I would think so, but I just want to be sure.....

It is in the rumor mill from Washington, A blogger heard the following from his Washington insider friend:

"They [the source's institution] have "instructions" (yes, that was the word used) from the Office of the Vice-President to roll out a campaign for war with Iran in the week after Labor Day; it will be coordinated with the American Enterprise Institute, the Wall Street Journal, the Weekly Standard, Commentary, Fox, and the usual suspects. It will be heavy sustained assault on the airwaves, designed to knock public sentiment into a position from which a war can be maintained. Evidently they don't think they'll ever get majority support for this--they want something like 35-40 percent support, which in their book is "plenty.""

The source is:

Again this is just a rumor. But it makes sense ... the Republicans are nothing unless they can fabricate fear and portray themselves as our protectors.

Why don't Libs do more to help the poor with their own money?

Libs seem to want more money put into their own pockets.

How many of you knew that Iran has been firing artillery barrages into Iraq ?
And when I say 'knew' , I'm not saying 'Who can look it up ' . I want to know how many of you knew this ?

It's ok if ya didn't . This all goes back to 'You don't know what you don't know'.

Now , what do you think about Iran firing artillery barrages into Iraq ? .. . . for quite some time too !!

and NOT having to work 40 hours per week.

The average poor person in America is 2 inches taller and weighs 10 pounds more than the men who landed at Normandy.

Are politicians deceiving us when they say poverty is "bad" in America?

I believe that government is inherently inept and inefficient for this reason, no one person or group is held accountable for their actions like in the private sector. If I am a buget director for my company and I draw up a annual buget that goes over by a hundred percent I get demoted or fired. If people in government do it they usually get promoted and they just raise our taxes. I think this is the fundemental reason why government botch up every institution they run ex SS Welfare Medicare, yet their are people clamoring for the government to run the grandaddy of all system health care what is your opinion?

See how quick the Repubs went against their own when he did wrong, like they did to Larry Craig? Would a Dem have done that if another Dem was in that situation. Nope. They'd just stand by the idiot and scream 'right-wing conspiracy!' to anyone who dares make a Dem take responsibility for their actions

I can see why the Dems hate the 'values and morals' message.

They don't have any to begin with.

I mean, in the Navy itself, not at a College which has no connection to the Navy.

And if so, does that take place on land or in the sea (or in other words, do you remain on land the whole time while taking your degree)?

If not, how regularly are you allowed to go home?

Oh... and just out of curiosity, do they chop off your hair when you are admitted to take a degree in the Navy, or only once you start to perform certain functions within that institution (and are paid)?

I hope I have made myself understood.
My native language is not English.
