Had It in Holland Park

“Sure, no reason not to punish the American people and tank the economy because you are to inept to make a deal.

“Absolutely correct. They are precisely equal, as are the subsidies for oil, gas and agribusinesses. The concept is taking money from some people and giving it to others because the others "need" it more than the some. The rest is merely arguing about priorities: whether a given need payment is worth borrowing money from our children and grandchildren for - because it is a sure thing we are never going to vote that we should pay it ourselves.

Right. No human beings work for corporations.

“Oh, George. Hasn't anyone ever warned you about telling the truth when people's minds are already made up? The majority wants a gun control law to be passed and no one cares that it will have no effect on gun crime. The key is to pass something, so they can feel good about themselves and continue ignoring the problem.k

“Well that's a good idea! Now people can commemorate only those they are willing to pay for, rather than commandeer my taxes to pay for any old Tom, Dick and Harry some committee can be talked into.

Understandable: he has already paid some 200 million in taxes and now the french government wants him to be a full-time government employee who gets paid a 25% commission on whatever he brings in.loser and they have a vote.

“How the FBI "infiltrated" Occupy WallStreet?
Tough one - it was such an exclusive organization - so I suspect they walked up and said: "can I join?" The heinous part was they probably didn't tell the whole truth about their personal backgrounds, which surely every other Occupy member did.

“Another big-government welfare payment approved.k

“Obsolutely! There should be no limits on how badly we punish Americans for our own inability to work out a deal.

“Well how unfair him! People are entitled to benefits and should not have to make ANY contribution in order to get them. Asking job seekers to take work is like asking employees to show up at the office: an outrageously oppressive requirement.

Yeah! If we can't get at the working person's savings by raising taxes, let's get at their savings by fining the banks!

“Credit card maxed out. I know, let's get a new credit card!

That's the problem with sexist laws: one has to keep trying to broaden it to include the at-risk. Had it been a Violence Against People act, the category extensions would not have been needed.

Well, if history is a guide, they'll have two days.  Until they can threaten default, recession, or some other disaster to punish the people with, they will not do the job we elected them to do.

It is time for a jihad against these moharebeh Taliban, to make it incumbent on all faithful Muslims to eliminate this stain on Islam.

“This bill does not have enough spending cuts in it! 
I know, let's punish the American people because we in congress can't make a deal.

“Guy has an employee who is an existential threat to his marriage. Sounds like the consensus here is that he should keep the employee and let the marriage go. Not sure I agree.k

So the Journal News has published a list of places where criminals can pick up guns free of charge - not sure that is the best idea. 

I do like goosey-gander publishing of the addresses of the Journal News journalists: they should know what it feels like.
