I live in a townhouse complex and the children here play with the mailboxes i.e puting up the flag when there is nothing in there and some people have said that they have had mail taken out of their boxes. How can we stop this?

thing and just keep referring to an election decades ago in Chicago..will this always be all they ever say even if fraud could be proved. do republicans only care about the loss of our right to vote that people died for if they do not win? How is this the moral then?

I m a voting rights advocate from Ohio very involved in this issue and I see the hard work of regular people fighting for election justice and I am mad as he-- with what happened here still and do not understand how people do not care if the vote doesn't count..75% of dems do not believe the vote counts and 50% of independents..does this make reps happy cause less dems will vote maybe due to this lack of confidence..even 25% of reps feel the vote does not count..why do we use easy to hack electronic voting machines by partisan vote companies that forbid checking the software if we are willing to die for the right to retain our vote.

Recently my situation has changed and I needed to alter my hours a bit. My employer will not help me out. They came to me and asked me to quit. I do not want to because I could sure use the money and my work is not in high demand right now.

Since there's only one non-biased, fair reporting media outlet like FOX, do you think the republicans would get a good laugh watching all the democrats shed their feathers FOR THE FIRST TIME and have a debate in an atmosphere where they aren't fully protected by drive-by media flakes pandering for political protection from slimy democrat politicians?

China is the largest foreign holder of U.S. debt. The U.S. debt is mounting and the dollar is dropping to never-before seen levels.
The U.S. manufacturing sector is suffering from increased globalization and the moving of production overseas (All things encouraged by the corporate elites and the politicians who serve them).
So have you started learning Chinese yet, so that you may properly greet our new overlords?

The facts are, Fox News beats all other cable news COMBINDED. Number one for the last 6 consecutive years. If this news outlet has no creditability as many democrats think, why the very high success? Is it not important to get your message out to the largest audience possible. The average for every democratic debate thus far is about 4 million. My goodness folks, CSI has more viewers. Why, why, why do democrats and the silly misinformed followers not understand what the truth in the ratings mean? Denial, stubbornness, or just don’t care as long as the government handouts become available again?

The dog ate my homework
by Richard Hayes Phillips and Patricia "Paddy" Shaffer

The following table is a compilation of excuses for the destruction of some or all of the records from the 2004 presidential election in Ohio. The statements are excerpted from the "letters of explanation" submitted in April 2007, by certain Boards of Election to the office of Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, which were provided to us in response to a public records request.

According to the Columbus Dispatch ("56 Ohio counties failed to keep ballots," August 2, 2007), Brunner stated that there is no evidence that ballots were intentionally destroyed. We respectfully refer her to the "letters of explanation" from Fayette and Warren counties, both of which state, in these exact words, that some or all ballots were "intentionally destroyed." We also refer her to the "letters of explanation" from Allen, Champaign, Fairfield, Hancock, Hardin, Holmes, Logan, Marion, Medina, Monroe, Montgomery, Morrow, Paulding, Perry, Putnam, Sandusky, Seneca, Shelby, and Stark counties, all of which state, in other words, that some or all ballots were intentionally destroyed.

Dear Abby

My husband is a liar and a cheat. He has cheated on me from the beginning, and, when I confront him, he denies everything. What's worse, everyone knows that he cheats on me. It is so humiliating. Also, since he lost his job five years ago, he hasn't even looked for a new one.

All he does all day is smoke cigars, cruise around and bullsh*t with his buddies, while I have to work to pay the bills. Since our daughter went away to college he doesn't even pretend to like me and hints that I may be a lesbian.

What should I do?

Signed,
Clueless
*****************************************
Dear Clueless:

Grow up and dump him. Good grief, woman. You don't need him anymore. You're a United States Senator from New York. Act like one.

Republicans welcome the challenge from any host, such as the hard left Chris Mathews of MSNBC. Why are democrats so afraid of answering questions from any one not of the liberal media. Would the hard questions be a bit too much for them? Is it Fox would not supply them with the questions pre-debate?

What would we see hapen if Troops were to capture Osama tomorrow? What would happen in the days, weeks and months to follow?
There is no doubt among Americans that he dosnt deserve a trial. But none the less, we wont foresake our values by denying it to him.
Under what jurisdiction would he be processed? Military tribunal? NYC Courts? Fed courts? Or Intl courts? (ICJ)
Also what forms of punishment would he be facing?

Apparently, North Korea says it is celebrating their one year anniversary of their first successful nuclear test. Do they actually ave one or more small, crude nuclear bombs? If so, then they could just maintain those ones and look to mount them on missles or whatever.

Can we stop them from becoming a member of the nuclear club?

Considering her ineffective leadership and the inabiltity to make up her mind, as a democrat, I personally hope California will get with it and vote her out of office. Do you think she will wisen up or will she be booted out?
