I wondered how her interview went for the new position?

"So, tell us some of your accomplishments while you were Commissioner over the tax exempt office."

"Well, to put it in simple terms. I screwed over those tea bagger tea party groups"

"YOUR HIRED!"

Either that or she was promised the new job depending on how well she suppressed those tea party groups. That would explain the bonuses.

I was just asking the question but since you put it that way. Is the girlfriends lies fair game?

I think it's common practice to question either sides past no matter who is actually on trial. But I'm sure you know better than anyone else.

Didn't they bring up Zimmerman's past?

This guy is an idiot. How does he have a public job? From the people who demand equality. They figure that if they can get away with calling everyone else racist, why not step it up to terrorist.

Does she file taxes as single or married?

I had to poke a little fun. :)

Prag is not totally objective but as he said, more moderate than Danni :) and worth having a conversation with about both sides of an issue.

Did they ever catch who leaked information on the Bin Laden raid? If not, I'm sure the AG is tapping their phones also.

Far from the same.

You're right, Obama ripped the vault door off of the hinges and not only continued but expanded on the patriot act.

Right. Because presidents are expected to know everything that goes on by any agency in the gov't.

I didn't say "everything" but there are now 3 MAJOR things that he's playing dumb on (or maybe not playing according to you). I said if any high level official hasn't been fired yet, there is a cover up. If there isn't a cover up then he's ineffective as a commander in chief. Do you not agree he should know some of what's going on? Doesn't the AG report directly to Obama? If he's not telling Obama about potential blow back from this broad phone record sweep, he should be fired. If the head of the IRS is not briefing Obama about the IG report going to be released this week and that members of the IRS were going to go on record as early as Friday of last week then you are kidding yourself.

These people fight a political fight every single day. If something is going to hurt his political capital when dealing with gun laws, immigration, his health care law, etc. He knows it right away and they start deflecting before it ever gets reported.

The fact that no one is fired yet means that it goes pretty high up. If Obama has no clue what is going on, it just proves how ineffective he is as commander and chief and that he's been a political puppet all along.

This can't be racist. It was created and directed by a black guy. If we didn't have the term, Racist. There would be a lot of people out of work who capitalize on that term daily.

Fighting climate change would seem hard as it constantly changes. Oh wait, is this the new key word for Global Warming?

Was that before or after he told them that they have to ride "in the back" of the bus?

He can't constantly demagog them and then, the next day, expect them to participate when he mandates it. It just doesn't work that way.

The FCC needs to step in and fine them.

That was definitely my point. Parents are ultimately responsible for their childs well-being.

The first time a parent forces their child to take the morning after pill, everyone will be up in arms, but it's ok to for the child to take it without the parents knowledge?

To bad the pill wasn't around for your father, because that's definitely what he should have done with mother.

Obama has shown that he hasn't been really willing to work with anyone. Btw, even the Democrats didn't know what was in the bill. They had to pass it to find out.

If democrats were willing to work with republicans, this could have been avoided and we could have actually gotten real reforms like Tort reform.

After thinking about it a little. Cost shifting could increase cost for a program since the states have to put out extra money to setup and maintain the structure to facilitate these programs.

#10 | POSTED BY SNOOFY AT 2013-05-05 04:07 PM

Why would cost shifting indicate an increase of cost? If I say that I'm going to pick up a trillion dollar tab and then shift that cost to you, it's still a trillion but doesn't mean you have the money to pay it.

"The root of the problem is that the federal health-care law capped spending on the program at $5 billion, and the money is running out because the beneficiaries turned out to be costlier to care for than expected. Advanced heart disease and cancer are common diagnoses for the group."

Pass it on to the states so they are to blame if people lose coverage.

There are good teachers and bad teachers and I doubt much of it has to do with a college degree. I will say that unlike most professions, when you go to school as a teacher, you pretty much know what you will make when you get out. It's not that hard to figure out. I have no problem when paying them more while cutting their pensions to those of the public sector. Along with higher pay, there has to be a way to weed out those bad teachers.

This pricipal should do what he thinks will make his school work. Praise him now because if he does something wrong, people will be sure to trash him later.

There are a lot of savings in schools. Most of it is in administration cost but it's harder for a pricipal to cut those.

Btw, I wouldn't be surprised to see a dramatic increase in sexually transmitted diseases. Instead of packing a condom, guys will just be handing out the morning after pill.

So would you have wanted your 8-15 year old daughters having access to this pill without your knowledge?

The Whitehouse has some explaining to do. When you look at all that was redacted from the talking points, the Whitehouse clearly knew what happened and still sent out Rice to LIE on the sunday talk shows.

The Whitehouse continued to lie and lie again about the situation and even had Clinton lie about it. At some point, they will have to explain why they lied to the American people and the families of those who died there.
