Tea party rhetoric has made it so the GOP can't bend in this. Even moderate GOP would probably lose the next primaries if they negotiate with...
Is arrogance a problem too?
Before saying that most Americans suck, etc. - look at yourself and how much money you donate to charity and how much time you spend volunteering.
it is a LOT easier to get junk food these days, and conversely more difficult to maintain a healthy diet. I'd be cool with a junk food tax -...
It seems that those without kids like to blame society or capitalism or whatever. Maybe their idea of a healthy meal is seared tuna with rice...
Yes. I cook pretty regularly. Ain't much but it's something. I have 2 kids and it's not as tough as you make it out. Sandwiches are always...

Nothing wrong with "caving" in. I hope the GOP caves in a little too. Then we might actually avoid a default. If we had an intransigent...
What would the actual effect be on bumping the upper tax bracket a few percentage points? I would normally be against this but the stuff...
I think the primary system actually discourages moderates. Imaging someone going for the GOP nomination who said he or she was actually okay...
Yao usually does pretty good against traditional bigs so I think he would have held his own. I don't think Hakeem would have had any problems...
No one actually "hates" him or any other athletes. We don't know any of them on a personal level. Heck - TMac might be the world's greatest dad...
LOL. funny.
