From Politico article: "At 10:03 POTUS walked out to the center walk with Colonel Smith and Commandant Conway for the Commandant's review. The band played the National Anthem. POTUS put his hand on his heart. During the review POTUS seemed to struggle to figure out if he should salute when...

OVM, The question being asked by state governors is can the federal government require states to fund unfunded mandates. In Texas' case, they have the largest uninsured population in the U.S. If the federal government passes Obamacare, then the states would be forced to fund a large...

Aging Mildred was a 93 year-old woman who was particularly despondent over the recent death of her husband Earl. She decided that she would just kill herself and join him in death. Thinking that it would be best to get it over with quickly, she took out Earl's old Army pistol and made the...

The Donkeys are acting as if they will control both the Senate and the House ad infinitum. They forget they were banished to the hinterlands when Sir Newt and his friends rested the reins of power from them for several election cycles. It will be interesting to see what happens to the Donkey's...

Governor Rick Perry of Texas may invoke 10th Amendment protection of state's rights if Obamacare is passed. See: Perry raises possibility of states' rights showdown with White House over healthcare | Top Stories | Star-Telegram.com.

dieseldiva, Thanks for the update. I have emailed it to most of the folks on my friends and relatives list. Got to get the word out and get this thing killed. I saw on Drudge that Rahm Emanuel said they will vote on this in the House next week.

Can you imagine the death knell for this idea if they promoted random drug tests for the general population? That would be a hoot. :cool:

Somewhere in this thread, there is a message stating they are changing the rest area rules so you can take your 10 hour break.

I-75 is a long stretch of road. I assume you are talking about Detroit. If so, that's great news.

I think most of this is moot because as you and Chefdennis point out, there is a paucity of money available to fund Obama's plans. "Throwing money all over the economy (and especially to sectors that match up with Democratic interests) is the shortest path to what Margaret Thatcher described as...

That's funny. :)

That's a cheery article. Guess we should crawl in a hole. If all that happens, we will need more than universal health care. :eek:

Aristotle, I think that is why they are pushing to reform the way health care is provided in the U.S. With 17% of GDP going to health care, the U.S. spends substantially more than other countries for less overall benefit. If we, the folks, could figure out a way to deliver the same, or...
