I hope you don't eat dinner at your friends' house. Since your post really makes no sense, that's all I can say.

Andy, Since you're bringing this up way later in the post, and since this is not Church, nor Sunday school, I'm flagging this post and your earlier ones.

Chris, There's NOTHING in the Constitution that prohibits it either. Therefore your argument falls apart. Not that I'm for giving foreign aid, it's just that your understanding of the U.S. Constitution is very shaky, at best.

Simple-minded is more accurate. Europe has had the VAT for decades. It started out small and has grown to ridiculous levels over time in some countries. At the same, income (and other) taxes in those countries have grown.

While it would seem neonics are safe for bees, I'm sure the libs fear a conspiracy by Big Tobacco! Once those little bees get hooked on nicotine, Phillp-Morris will start producing little bee-sized cigs. Then, you'll have a bunch of bees smoking in public! Worse, is that while smoking, they could be pollinating plants that humans may consume, thus leading to the threat of 18th. hand smoke. Their 'science' isn't clear on that (like all left wing 'science'). Ooooh, the apiarity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How about the genius that paid $1.9 million for the oil portrait of Bea Arthur (Maude) topless? It looked like something a very sick and perverted teen did right after graduating from those paint-by-number sets. I'm sure the value of that "investment" is good as gold!

"...rights are to be conferred not on the basis of whether or not a being can reason or talk, but on the basis of whether or not an animal “can suffer in the same way and to the same degree that humans do.” Since dogs can suffer in the same way as humans do, we have no right to deny them their right to sexual intimacy with another consenting creature." I'm just guessing that all men Ms. Mikles had contact with considered intimate contact would be suffering. Thus her romance with Rover. I think she probably subjected the poor dog to cruel and incanine punishment. Talk about screwing the pooch!

Jen, I agree with you 'dumbographics' for the MSM. However, the 2012 election showed the clueless and stupid are now the majority.

Ms. Chavez is leaving out some key facts. The AP told the Feds about the story before publishing the story. At the Fed's request, they held it for a few days, until the govt. told them it was no longer a national security threat, but wanted AP to hold it until Obama could announce his greatness in foiling the plot. They no to that, and that's when they got in hot water. Let's face it, there has to be a very limited number of people of the Fed side that had the clearance, and need to know about this operation. Why didn't Holder focus his attention on that side of the investigation? It smacks of a petulatnt vendetta on Obama's part, because the AP stole his thunder. I too, hate leaks, but I also never trust Obama and his thugs to be looking out for our country's best interests.

Well, to paraphrase Mae West, "Is that smoke detecting underwear, or are you just happy to see me?" Now, I could really get behind this waste of taxpayers' money if they could find some way to tailor this smoke detecting underwear to fit that little shrimp running on the treadmill. Because no one should have to eat shrimp that spent their entire life smoking cigarettes or cigars underwater. We all know the danger of whatever-hand smoke from shellfish. If even one life can be saved...
