“These folks will be moving into a really fully insured product for the first time, and so there may be a higher cost associated with getting into that market,” she said. “But we feel pretty strongly that with subsidies available to a lot of that population that they are really going to see much better benefit for the money that they’re spending.” Really Ms. Sebelius? What a dumb**s! People do not get lower grade medical care because they want crappy coverage, people buy what they can afford. Now we will all be forced to buy top of the line medical coverage that we simply cannot afford. Good thing I'll have top of the line coverage when I get sick because I cannot afford to buy food or live in a house. Good Job Big Government. DUH!
I understand what the teacher is trying to portray here. While she sits in her ivory tower of academia she does not realize that symbols, while not the actual thing itself, represent more than just words on a page. That the professor was ignorant enough to even come up with this assignment shows just how biased and unfit they are to teach. I am sure the point could have been made without singling out a particular group. This is religious bigotry at its worst--if for no other reason than that the prof didn't even realize it was wrong, or worse yet, it has become acceptable to dump on Christians as if it were okay to do. I bet about 6 million Jews could enlighten the professor as to why this is wrong.
connections that these people do to be lucky enough or savvy enough to have that kind of job and make that kind of money would turn around and say "Oh my, it's so easy to make this money! I think I will give most of it away!" They would whine just like Maher.
A million dollars is not what it used to be. The guys raising the taxes are living in the past if they think a million dollars makes you rich. If they are taxing you 60% then really you might be called a millionaire but you're living on $400,000/year. Of course, I could easily live on that it's like 8 times what I make, but that is not the point. Here is someone who worked (whether whacking a ball or making investments--it is still work) for the million and gets to keep less than half. Then someone who makes only 400,000/year gets to keep probably 300,000. Where is the incentive to make the million??? ...and for those who complain about how people make their millions, I doubt there is a single one of them if they had the talents or

fallen asleep and then choked on her own vomit. Who would they be blaming then? Allowing kids to be their own watchdogs when they are teens is a recipe for disaster. Parents teach children responsibility not by telling them what to do but by showing them what a responsible person does. A responsible parent doesn't allow their teenager out until 3AM drinking with their buddies. Saying nothing implies it's all okay and safe to do. Foolish parents bringing up foolish children who will become the next generation of foolish parents.

My first thought when I heard about this was where were the parents? Who bought them the booze. None of these kids should have been drinking. None were old enough to buy the liquor. Why are those questions not being answered? If there is anything to be learned from this entire debacle it should be that ultimately, you and YOU ALONE are responsible for your own safety. Do not depend on friends and acquaintances to watch your back when you are blind drunk because chances are they have been drinking right along with you and at the very least have impaired judgment. obviously the parents were not looking out for the welfare of any of these kids. What if instead of being raped she had fallen asleep?

When one person cheats to obtain their doctorate, they cheapen the title of doctorate. Why not then "seek out and destroy" the people who have faked their way to the title in order to maintain its legitimacy for everyone who did it honestly? What good would a doctorate be if people just took for grant it that you faked your way to it? I really do not think it is envy driving these people to expose the cheaters. It is a way to defend all current, past and future doctorates as the reward for a difficult job and hard work to the highest degree.
Awesome
What can you expect from Chris Rock, he was indoctrinated by our public schools to believe the progressive craptrap spoon fed our kids by the system. A school system that teaches a paragraph on George Washington and an entire chapter on MLK. You come out of school not understanding the constitution or how it works because they were too busy telling you how wonderful FDR and Woodrow Wilson were to take care of us all in our time of need. Rock is just parroting back what he's been taught. So sad. People need to educate themselves on what the constitution really says and means. On a side note, I find it sad to see so many of the comments contain name calling and sarcasm. Rise above people. Don't sink to their level.
