I guess we're the idiots for doing that. I try my best to not vote for buffoons but many times we only have a choice of buffoon 1 or buffoon 2

In my opinion blacks DO have to work twice as hard because of affirmative action. In sports there is strictly performance so there is limited racism. One cannot debate points, home runs, touchdowns because they're facts. With affirmative action the standards are altered so we don't know what the facts are because someone's finger is on the scale. Reverse racism is still racism.

The US government takes in about 3 Million Million dollars a year - about $10,000 per person. The problem is they spend over 4 Million Million. 'Million Million' sounds bigger than 'trillion'. Maybe we should adopt the scientific names Mega buck, Giga buck Tera buck. illions just seem to run together.

" could have cost you an election." Not could, should. The media wasn't interested in constitutional abuses until it hit them. But will they learn? I hope so but fear it's just another bump in the road.

"If Congress fails to repeal IPAB through this process, then Congress can never again alter or reject IPAB’s proposals.". That is SUCH A LOAD of horse hockey. What do you mean can NEVER stop it? Congress created that mess and they darned well can kill it if needed (and it is needed). It's not some divine super power. It's a bunch of DUMB bureaucrats who deserve to be unemployed.

Well put. sir.

“startling disparity in treatment”? You're a pretty smart lady but still young enough to be optimistic. The only part that surprises me is that it is a GOOD as it is. Reminds me of - just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you.

Yeah and I'd like to imagine that Powerball ticket we bought is a winner. Obama won't resign and he won't be impeached so stop dreaming.

"not even fit for fishwrap". I buy the Times every Friday for the Fry's ad. The REST is fishwrap.

Just remember that ANY piece of garbage legislation can be undone. If not, perhaps it's time for a revolution because any legislation CAN be undone. You say it's the 'law'? Congress breaks laws all the time when it suits them.
