Politics & Government - 13 December 2007

I am waiting on the "SJ" (it might be SJA?)to sign off on my medical discharge paperwork, in order to start checking out.
Who is the SJ?
It has to be a Navy "cat" because im going along with the HM1 and other billet descriptions they have inplace of their ranks.
My thinking is that he is above the Colonal who is in my command, but i am not sure.

After further thought i was thinking it stood for Staff Judge Advocate!?!?!
I Hope someone can help me in describing to me who this person is.

A state audit has found that hundreds of people have used bogus Social Security numbers to obtain food stamps.

From July 2002 to last April, 1,906 people were receiving food stamps from the state Department of Social Services based on invalid Social Security numbers, the audit report stated. Another 1,237 food stamp recipients were using the Social Security numbers of dead people, according to the audit.

DSS security measures had previously disqualified 5,840 people from the food stamp program after determining they were using phony Social Security numbers, according to the audit.

The error rate was much less than 1 percent, which is an acceptable level, the audit report stated.

DSS officials said they have developed new screens to help validate the Social Security numbers of all food stamp recipients.http://wral.com/news/news_briefs/story/2163200/

CIA and probably MI6 and other military groups are probably torturing prisoners in the war on terror. Is this right ? Does it actually happen or is it just media BS.
Are you happy that your elected leaders agree to torture and rendition flights around the world ?

Marine Nephew wants out. (Has a look of drinking and eating lemons) Many of his friends in the Marines want out but they won't let any of them out. My nephew joined at 17 and just turned 19 last week. (What does a 17 year old know?)

I get free food and pick some up today somehow the trash people knowing that I am throwing can of food away and it coming from them. Some of the food that I get are no good and the cans food don't have expire date on them. I know when you go to store and get them they have expire date. Is there a law on that they have to put a expire date on the can of food like green beans in a can. Is there a website I can look up. I would like to know. If there is I want to show them proof that there is law with expire date need to be on. That one reason I am throwing them away. One time it didn't look good when I open one of the cans. They could get into trouble doing that I need to make sure is a law on to put expire date on those cans..

Thanks..

I am still with this man who is in Iraq. He sends tons of message that how much he loves me, he wants to spend life with me, stuff like that. I am also 4months pregnant. He said he is very happy and he is planning to have his leave in Jan and come see me.
BUT,I just found out that some websites that he goes to and never told me. In myspace He did put there as "divorced", he has divorced from couple of his marriages. Although he never mentioning about relationship with me there. He once told me he has to go to Iraq to save money for me and baby. He wrote he had to go Iraq because he has to support his 12year old son, nothing else about me and baby.
Also, I saw his profile at Adultfriendfinder.com. I had to sign up to see his profile.he was wanting to meet some woman who match with his type or sex life. He did not put any naked/sexual pictures himself there, just one face picture with his army uniform. he wants no long distance relationship. I live in NY and he lives in GA.

By now, I would hope that the citizens of the USA have had enough of self serving Presidents who manage to cover up their incompetence during their period of office while shamelessly lining their own pockets through shady domestic land and oil deals, selling international contracts to favoured friends and generally having only real regard (much like the Roman Emperors of old) for their own wealth, power and dynasty.

It seems pretty apparent that Oprah & Hillary are probably anything but fans of each other at this time. ----If their tenuous relationship deteriorates any further----Is it possible that their war of words could deteriorate into an old-fashioned Catfight ???---If so---Who would be more likely to use & better at using hair-pulling, nail scratching,biting, etc. against their opponent ?? --I believe that this would probably not be the most ladylike behavior----but Oprah & Hillary have both demonstrated toughness in the past ---so---If they had a Catfight ---Who would win ? And How would they win ??

I've heard that the only way to characterize a president is by the number of president they are. For instance, I wouldn't say former president Bill Clinton, but the 42nd president Bill CLinton

I DON'T think that Obama's skin colour is relevant or important to his politics. I only mentioned it because it is still an issue for some unreconstructed and not very highly evolved Americans, and also, because of this, that his victory will be a groundbreaking event. I'm much more interested in his sensitive and articulate grasp of global and domestic politics and I suspect that given the right support, he could restore the global and domestic reputation of the USA to it's former 'land of freedom' status.

A disabled man was denied help cause legal aide allready had files on his wife. Remember now. The man is disabled, cant work. Then the mans wife called to get help and she was granted help. Now the wife works a 40 to 50 hour a week job. Makeing $13 an hour. And has nothing to pay for but rent and utilities. On the other hand the DISABLED man is takeing care of there four children with no help from the wife. The wife doesn't want the children but for one day every two weeks.

My ex-wife called and demanded I pay 80 percent of my son's glasses. I told her I would pay half and she said i needed to pay more. I'm just curious if vision is considered medical. I will pay what I have to pay for my son to be able to see, however, she consistely threatens to take me to court for everything. I pay exactly what I'm supposed to and much more. I'm just curious what the law is. Thanks for your advice. Oh i live in NY.

I think this should become a felony. If you drive without at least liability insurance you go to prison if you have an accident. If you aren't responsible enough to maintain proper insurance then you aren't responsible enough to drive.

The main reason is that insurance companies are probably protected by our government. It's a big money maker to have responsible driver's get not only liability but also uninsured coverage.

If you can't afford to pay insurance then ride the bus or walk. I am very irritated that I have to pay to protect myself from these people. It's wrong and people should not be able to get away with it.

All the democrats talk about is taxing the wealthy. But, we have never heard a liberal definition of wealthy. If you and your wife earn over a hundred grand combined, is that wealthy?

I want everyone to pay the same per cent of their income, no one supports ultra welathy people to pay no tax at all. The perception that people who make 500k+ per year, don't pay any tax or not a reasonable per centage, is a liberal myth.

People who hit the lottery in the multi-millions have to give close to half of their winnings to the IRS, up front. How do they pay zero tax, comrade liberal?

Liberals prey on poor people, using "class envy" techniques to exploit people who are emotionally and intellectually limited.

The same people who are obsessed with class envy are the same people who have no problem that close to 50% of all wage earners pay no taxes at all- free highways, free schools, free defense, etc.

Why don't libs support a flat tax?- its really about promoting socialism
