Thre's something I find interesting. It's the number of musicians that have complained about the McCain/Palin campaign using their music without permission. So far there's Bon Jovi, Heart, Foo Fighters, John Mellencamp and Jackson Brown. One would think that after the first complaint the campaign w...

I know a couple of pretty wealthy fellows who are voting Obama... because they know that even paying some more taxes, which hardly hinder their overall wealth, will sooner be offset by the positive reverberations of an ENTIRE society that is raised from the bottom up. ...and I'll bet ya Jimmy feels...

Thank you all for your kind words, I will accept your apologies! ...wait, what's that? You aren't apologizing to me! Well, now I feel really stupid :oops: :D Seriously, there are some times when we all get caught up in the heat of the moment that we let things slip just a little and I would like to ...

Another lost manatee, I can relate to that! I hope he finds his way home soon, the water is about to get really cold and that's not good for him.

I think of you and your daughter almost daily now. My daughter was diagnosed with Celiac about two months ago and it is a major life changing ailment. It has been a real education about what goes into our food. For example, many of the mainstream commercial cornbread mixes include wheat flour. Or th...

I think that there are members of this board who subscribe to a wide range of political views and with a few exceptions, everyone is very polite about discussing those views.

Income redistribution = fairness???? You got a problem with that? A very big one. Me too. I think we should rescind the tax breaks given to the very wealthy during the Bush administration and what's funny is that I'm not alone in this belief. Warren Buffett maintains that there is something wrong w...

After watching the "debate" last night and again this afternoon, I have drawn the following conclusions. First, Governor Palin's handlers did a great job of getting her prepared. It is clear that they had a script for her and told her to stick to it, no matter what and she did. I think she...

You know, I'm really concerned that Gwen Ifill will be able to moderate this debate without her biases showing. You do realize that she is likely to favor Sarah Palin since they are both woman!!!! :o :lol: Did you ever hear the phrase Bro's before Ho's? :lol: /ducking away from the incoming... You ...

A better option would be to make any interest earned on an FDIC up to whatever the insured amount is, tax free. All interest should be tax free. Any money you save has already been taxed, you shouldn't be taxed again for being thrifty. Using that same logic, then capital gains should be tax free, a...

someone else said this, not me, not that smart but I liked it A better plan to fix liquidity for less than $700 Billion : 1)Moratorium all mortgage payments on all residential real estate for 5 years or until the houses are sold. This is cheaper and guaranteed to jump start the economy. This will g...

Southwest doesn't operate their standby the same way other airlines do. For example, if you purchase a ticket 2 months prior to departure and stay over a weekend on Delta, you can standby without paying the difference between what you paid at the time of purchase and what it is today. Delta does cha...

I've stayed in all of the above and can attest that they are within walking/stumbling distance of a number of bars.

That rumor is always going around Vegas. Back before M-ville was even there, the rumor would be he was going to show up at Tommy Rockers. Never happened. He just plays craps after the show He used to go to the sports bar in the MGM after the show and have a drink or two. I saw him there with Robert...

And did you notice what the cargo is? 17 Russian T-72 Main Battle Tanks, spare parts and according to other reports, ammo for said tanks main guns. That is scary stuff to have fall into the wrong hands.

Reported in the NY Times and picked up by the AP: From the NY TIMES, "At the insistence of the McCain campaign, the Oct. 2 debate between the Republican nominee for vice president, Gov. Sarah Palin, and her Democratic rival, Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., will have shorter question-and-answer se...

Having been in Salt Lake City for the 2002 Olympics, I would say that you are likely to see higher priced hotel rooms, especially those located closer to events. Many of the sights that are normally packed will be empty because everyone will be at the Olympic events and not at the usual and mundane ...

The bail out is a give away, pure and simple. As originally proposed the $700,000,000,000,000.00+ fund would be used to purchase the assets of the distressed companies at ABOVE current market values and at the sole discretion of the Secretary of Treasury. Additionally, under the original proposal, t...
