Soft petal? Are you talking about flowers being pelted at Mrs. Clinton? Don't you mean soft-pedal...and no, they won't. She bears as much responsibility for this fiasco as the liar-in chief and his other minions...Rice, Carney, et al. At least, we had better hope that the Republicans will nail these people to the wall, figuratively speaking, at least!

A couple who decides to get married far from home and want the family with them should either change the location so it's not a hardship for the attendees, or pay the cost of close family members. A distant relative paid for his daughter's entire wedding...it was on a cruise ship and paid for all the family to attend. This is not possible for most folks, but engaged couples ought to think first. Why not a wedding at home and a honeymoon in Mexico? I know of a bride-to-be who sent out letters to 12 potential bridesmaids with a list of their responsibilities and the costs involved, including times they had to reserve for meetings with the bride or her wedding consultant for fittings, shopping, etc. They all turned her down. Good thing!

Not you again! How do you make a case with half-truths and less than the entire picture? Why don't you just write your own op-ed pieces and be done with it instead of cluttering up a blog where other people might want to comment? You are simply a blowhard and speak with a forked tongue.

Marita, you've certainly hit the windmill where it hurts! We just traveled through Illinios and Indiana to see windmills standing still or sluggishly turning...and they all appear to be in bird migration paths. This is not the way the Dutch placed their windmills, that's for sure. We can't afford to lose the birds because the insects would take over. Swat! Swat! Miserable mosquitos and flies! If Big Bird had any sense, he'd be fighting for the birds. If it doesn't make money, STOP it! They don't need subsidies...they need to explore more nuclear energy that won't harm birds, animals, or people, and is clean and not unsightly like those powerful vanes on a stark stalk! Ugh!

Mr. Mitchell, you appear to be fairly intelligent, so why would you delight in the misrepresentations of a bunch of loser comics? They aren't even funny at this point because they're telling the truth about Obama, and stretching a lie to make it look like the truth in the case of Romney. Didn't you get the tactic of that third debate on Romney's part? You said he agreed with Obama on nearly every point, but he only agreed that these were problems and instead of being confrontational to allow Obama to spew more lies (than he already had) and become bellicose as is his wont, Romney led Obama on to make a fool of himself, which Obama gleefully did. Obama actually pulled a "Biden" and was mocking, interruptive, and very unpresidential.

You must come from a different planet, Bill. Where I come from that is a civil statement of truth. Study Marx, Hitler, et al and you will find that all of these things are played out in their beliefs and their works. How can you hide from the truth? Oh, that's right...you ignore it and scream obscenities like the rest of the left-leaning illiterates. Violent words are their only defense because they have no truth behind them.

Loved this!!!

Amy, did you really mean "defiantly" or was that "definitely?" It sure does change the meaning of your post. No offense meant, but some of the posters really are "defiant" in a big way. I really don't see you as being defiant. :)

You obviously have a disconnect between the brain and the thought because your spelling is poor and your grammar is worse. To the average observer, you are one of those whose intellect falls somewhere between a rock and a toad if you have to try so hard not to use the bad language you were trying to hide. What you don't understand is that the author of the article was using sarcasm to describe 9-11's terrible attack on U.S. soil. To radical Islam, that was "blowing up some real estate" but to us it was far more devastating. Why don't you take your medicine and relax. We'll translate for you when necessary.

I don't like gambling for what it does when people become addicted and cheat their families out of their livlihood, but Reid and Kyl are complete idiots for this kind of bill. Each state has the right to offer gambling...it's not going to stop the people who go to Las Vegas, Reno, or any of the Indian Casinos from going there for the atmosphere, as opposed to people who just want to play online once in a while. All states are entitled to their own revenue initiatives to help balance their budgets, something Reid knows nothing about. These two cretins are just childlishly saying, "We've got ours, and you can't have any!" (Foot stomping here...) This bill must be soundly trounced and the two Senators sent to the woodshed for greed.
