I thought her "outrage" seemed rehearsed. Surely she knew at least a few unfriendly questions would be asked. With countless of advisers, most of whom are lawyers, and 3 months to get ready for this inquiry, the best she could come up with is a few people could have been out for a walk (with heavy weapons?) and throwing her arms up poking the air and declaing "what difference does it make"? Makes one wonder what kind of threats the families of these four victims are getting, cause if my son had been ingored when he was pleading for help, the most dangerous place on earth would be between me and a camera.

I moved out of Illinois. I could stand it no longer. Best thing I EVER did. If I could live in a mansion in Chicago or a leaky roofed trailer in NC, I honestly and truly would pick the tin home with wheels in my pale red but getting redder NC. Heck I would rather be in JAIL in NC than in that mansion in Illinois. Proud to be a Tar Heel.

George, Fidel & Hugo will live forever. Old, ugly and nasty never dies.

I agree. My PHD neighbors cannot figure out how to cut grass, lift the hood of their car or put together a $12 bird feeder. I now understand why big urban areas are so Democratic. Politics must use the same part of the brain that common sense is harboured.

Tell Hubby if he stops his insanity, every Christmas Santa will bring him the paperback version of the crosswords....maybe they put one out monthly, I do know there is a paperback version out there. I am sure the Times makes $$$ on the crossword books as well, but at least it will not be encouraging that lying, liberal, editorial behavior that is so beneficial to our blood pressure..

I lived 21 years in Illinois. The street I lived on has not been repaved since this house I still own was built in 1959. The taxes on that 1,100 sq. foot home on a smallish lot on that crappy street are double what they are on my 3,000 sq. foot home on 27 acres in a development where at least 5 acres are required in NC. Illinois. All those taxes plus crappy weather. What a deal. See what you get when you let those dead people vote?

The school district with one of the worst statistics, and right up there with the highest salaries, decides to wait until the school year starts to strike. BUT they are only thinking of the students. Does ANYONE believe that? Anyone? I was in Chicago and actually saw some of these chest beating, red t-shirted, tatooed, over paid spoiled brats stomping around and just wonder what their students think. Are those the actual teachers or did the unions hire an ACORN type Rent a Mob? They actually look better on TV. I am old enough to remember when teachers demanded respect and actually worried about losing it.

I watched that puff piece on CNN lat night and yes. That is EXACTLY what he plans to do. A dictatorship is in the mail folks.

The population of America; It is like the prideful teenage girl admitting to her parents that they were right. That guy who hangs out with gang members, wrecked her car, burned his home for insurance and has an extensive rap sheet really is not her best choice. Normally common sense comes with maturity before the fascinating and attractive "bad boy" takes over her whole life. She had four years and the eye glaze is diminishing only slightly, She still fiercly defends him. The wedding date is in November, the invitations sent and her friends (the press who introduced them) is careful in hiding his flaws and busy trashing a fine young man who wants to court her.

Obama is not Carter. Carter did not have the Chicago machine behind him. Carter was basically an honest man. Carter played by the rules. Carter did not have these 24 hour schmoozy news loops body kissing him all over. Carter was not black, thus we culd be honestly critical instead of being accused of all these supposed "racist code words". We could have a Reagan bumper sticker on our car without worrying about having the paint scratched. Need I go on? Oh yeah, Romney has his strengths, but Romney is not Reagan.
