    Do they come in flip flops? ;)

    Another Obama Smackdown from SCOTUS

    If employers pay 100% of the cost, then I'd say you have a point, but they don't. Employees pay for their health coverage, along with the employer. As Asjssl cited, Hobby Lobby has no problem investing in 'abortifacients', which is pretty hypocritical. Opponents aren't objecting to who pays for...

    The Tea Party Strikes Again.

    Where do you get off?

    Of course Planned Parenthood isn't the only place to get a mammogram [which is no longer considered necessary, but it still reassures many women who fear breast cancer - thanks, Susan G Komen :rolleyes:], but it is the only neighborhood clinic with a sliding fee scale. It's a welcoming place...

    Fatigued Driving

    Drivers have been telling FMCSA and DOT ever since they changed the split sleeper rule to require the first period be 8 hrs, [rather than 2] - nearly 10 years, and they have just ignored us. Oh wait: they added a mandatory 30 minute break after 8 hours: another 'floating' deadline to comply...

    Bad News

    Thank you. You're right: it's like a roller coaster, up, down, upside down - it's like normal time doesn't apply, when you're grieving. I almost added laughter to the original comment, but thought it might seem odd - but what seems odd to me is leaving such a wonderful part of life out of the...

    Again and Again!

    Rangel didn't "play the race card" - he answered a question asked by a reporter. Not responding to the truth [or not] of what he actually said, just waving a dismissive label, is classic evasion. Ditto for "class envy" - it means "We don't have anything we can say for the record [on income...

    Where do you get off?

    That really depends on what is included as 'preventive care', though, doesn't it? If the CBO is measuring the cost/benefit of tests, then sure, tests are ridiculously expensive. [Like the mammograms women can't get when Planned Parenthood is shut down!] Anyone who has ever had a CT scan or an...

    Unintended Consequences?

    So did you, and neither can I. You're actually not supposed to even hear what I say, half the time, lol. ;) [But I'm not a fan of doing it the way it's always been done just because it's always been done.]

    Why not?

    Barack and Michelle? Now she's being accused of breaking the law? I missed that - though not the ugly names people call her, [because they're ugly inside, themselves, I think]. Bottom line: we don't know it's illegal, since our self appointed expert on 'top secret stuff' won't reply to numerous...

    The Tea Party Strikes Again.

    When the loser holds a "Victory Celebration", and says "There is nothing extreme or dangerous in wanting to balance the budget", I'd say the 'panic' is justified. The Tea Party would 'balance' it by cutting spending for lower & middle class people, while preserving the many expenditures for the...

    And some of those trophies are for categories you never knew existed, lol. ;)

    You're forgiven, because the remark about muting the NewsBabes made me laugh. ;)

    Fatigued Driving

    No one contends that EOBRs would have prevented this accident, because the driver had one, so how they can contend that it will prevent other accidents is just beyond me. If anything, the EOBR reminding the driver of how much [or little] time is left is another stress to deal with, when the...

    Bad News

    Letting go is one of the hardest things we ever have to do, and you're doing it the best way you can. I hope the remaining time you have is blessed with peace and tranquility and love.

    Where do you get off?

    I wasn't referring to socialized medicine, which Obamacare isn't, but universal access to health insurance. Obamacare just enlarged Romney's plan, and added preventive care to the free from copay portion, because preventive care is a long term cost saver.

    Why not?

    I'd bet Reagan did, because Nancy was the type who had to know everything about him. Other wives, not so much - I mean, can you imagine Betty Ford or Jackie Kennedy or Pat Nixon wanting to know any of the classified stuff? Hilary was a different type, ambitious in her own right. As for Bill...

    Where do you get off?

    I'd add that #3 directly contradicts #6, being created for "We the people". We is a collective - and it's the foundation for a civilized and successful society. #7 and #8 are generally true, but with exceptions. #12, absolutely false. Some of us are liberals in the same way as the Founding...
