  • Taking credit is typical political shenanigans - the companies should also state that compliance with government regs such as these are one of the things that pushed their admin costs over the limit.
         Still, I do like the idea that companies get penalized for wasting our healthcare insurance money on stuff that has nothing to do with the healthcare of the insured.
  • Outrageous!  Why should graduates be required to know any math?  It's not as if they will ever need a bank account or a credit card or be asked to vote for people who pass budgets and taxes at the local, state or federal level.
  • I notice the media, Fox included, were quick to give out every detail they had - regardless of the damage to our intelligence networks
    OK, Fox, redeem yourself: give us the list of those who knew.

Great. Confrontational strategy and attack ads. It promotes anomie and makes America a worse place to live but, if it improves our chance of winning an election, who cares?  Besides, coach, they started it.

But just give us some more quantitative easing and interest free money from the Fed and we'll trade our way out of this hole with some luckier bets. I know a winner is coming, it's just around the corner.

“Why won't you talk about what I want to talk about? 
What do you think you are, independent or something?
After all, I'm a politician and what I say helps you sell soap flakes.

“Getting rid of the man-woman thing seems to be moving well, so now it is time to go after the "one" bit. Why should people who wish to marry more than one other person be discriminated against?”

  • I like your argument: when Dumbocrats are in power job creation suffers and when Retroblicans are in power, the fear of Dumbocrats getting power back makes job creation suffer.   In short, job creation always suffers and it is always the other guy's fault.  When does job creation take off?  Dunno - but when it does it will be because our guys are in or about to get in.
  • I think the church should be able to decide who the students at a university can listen to - regardless of the student's religion.  If two Muslim groups asked the university to stop a Christian speaker because her views disagreed with Islam, no one would object, would they?
