a.) Because they are total idiots and don't realize that drugs are what is bankrupting medicare and unless they allow pricing negotiations will bankrupt the US entirely if we offer a government sponsored plan?

b.) because the $40 Million drug companies spent in the 3 months in lobbying while the bill was being written clouded their thought processes?

c.) because they are just a bunch of crooks looking out for themselves and their other big money buddies by manipulating things to take advantage of the impending demand in this area?

d.) your own idea...

Do you ever feel this way. Our basic values are so different I think I have to leave him in order to have a fulfilling life.

Is worth what now that he was killed by his lover, and left a wife and 4 kids behind?

Why does he not face the fact that you cannot steal an election, ahve your people protest you, and maintain credibility on the world stage at the same time.

She remarked that her experiences as an Hispanic woman would lead her to better decisions than those made by a white man. Based on her record, do you think she was being racist or simply pointing out that as a minority woman, she has been tried by fire much more than her white male counter parts. Due to the greater amount of trying circumstances she faced in her lifetime, she has had a greater opportunity to develop the wisdom and character needed to be an exceptional judge.

That you considered just jumping in your car and ditching everything and everybody in it, going completely underground, and incognito while you established a new one.

My husband and son are on their way back from a fishing trip weekend, and should be back sometime after noon. My teenage daughter insisted on spending the weekend at her friend's house. Here it is mother's day, and I am keeping company with a damn computer. It is a thankless job. I guess I need to remind my husband that the guys he spent this weekend with are divorced several times over.

The little arrdvark looking bugs that usually live under rocks are eating my basil. How do I get rid of them organically?

Can anyone tell me if there is some sort of setting that will allow me to access my web mail login page from my computer. The web mail is with Godaddy.com. For some reason I can't get the login page to load from my home computer. I have no problems at other computers, only my home computer. Is there some sort of setting that needs to be adjusted? Could there be some sort of virus or malware causing this?

I don't get it. I have not seen anything worse from jewish people than I have seen from other groups. In fact I have noticed admirable qualities of charity, as well as high value and support placed on learning. They don't appear to be any worse or better than any other group. Why is this hatred so pervasive? My perspective is as a white Roman Catholic American woman.

So what do you do when there maybe a parasite attaching to a vulnerable old man. My father fairly recently lost my mother and now is hooked up with someone who maybe directing him to financial ruin. He is emotionally vulnerable and needy so he is a perfect target for a predator. However, his financial woes may in large part be of both their making. I get the feeling neither one of them can handle money well. Since they have not come to me for money, I think I should just ignore what I hear. However, my father has made comments to my sister that seem to indicate he is done with life, and this worries me. I am the family hard *** who is quick to throw the bullshit flag. I also am very financially disciplined. Because of this reputation he has all but avoided me. He is somewhat timid in someways, and has lost his advocate, with the death of my mother. Should I just stay back and say nothing or step up?

I have to choose tooth extraction or slenderizing for my son's orthodontic treatment in order to have enough room in his mouth to fit his teeth. What should I consider in terms of risks, costs, and final outcomes when making this decision?

Despite this new law.

There is more than one way to get around this law. Namely promoting men who are not as qualified as the woman trying to get a particular job. I used to work for an employer who often did this. They would promote men who didn't even have close to the education and experience that the woman who were eligible did. Do you think they will just change tactics, and do you think it will work?

I personally think it is a bad idea. If someone wants to make a toll road, or bridge, let them do it on their own. It looks to me like another big money welfare scam by the republicans. If the public needs the funds so badly, why don't they temporarily create state toll roads. Oh that is right that would not fill the campaign coffers. So instead, we virtually hand over for almost free existing roads to private interests so they can make their little pot full of money and put a nice chunk of it back into the republicans' pockets. Then when the roads are all beat to hell, they can then turn them back over to the state so we tax payers can refurbish them again.

We recently took in a 5 year old Basset that lost his owner to an untimely death. He is big, about 85 pounds now that we have gotten him back to a healthy weight range (113 at his highest). He also cocks his leg when he pees, but is neutered. I think he was neutered rather late. He generally is fairly docile and listens fairly well however, we have had some aggression problems with him. If he decides he is someplace he wants to stay and you tell him to move, he will growl, and bark, and snap at you. I maintain my position and stare him down and order him until he complies. I have managed to train him that the furniture and our beds are off limits this way.

However, this morning I told him to get off the steps and go to his bed. He was on the landing. Up until a couple of weeks ago this was his sleep area. At the time there were several jackets of my husbands also laying on the landing. He ignored me so I grabbed his collar to make him move. He tried to bite me. I then chased him around the house for a couple of minutes bumping his hind quarters with chairs and a handbag to scare the crap out of him without getting bit.

I was always under the impression that Bassets were very docile. Was this guy just taught that he runs the house? How should I deal with him? Do you think what I did will help him understand his ranking, or do you think we will always have an issue with him?

To pass up their end of year bonuses, at least in the upper, upper, echelons where they already milked off 10's of millions in prior quarters. Don't you just want to run up and kiss their privileged a$$e$ for being such good citizens of the US. Gee it makes me want to pay another few thousand in taxes just knowing how good hearted these guys are. I also want to run to Washington and shake my representatives hands. How about you? What is your take?

Things are getting a bit tight here on main street so I am looking for a little help. I understand that there is a new Wall Street Welfare plan that is supported on the tax payers dime. It also comes with 6 figure bonuses for abysmal performance. Does anyone know how to apply for this welfare program? I am just as good as those Wall Street investments good old boy bankers, so I want part of their tax payer financed pie. I've earned a couple of degrees and don't think the average AFDC welfare is the right fit for me. I want the Wall street plan.

For instance, don't they understand that the inheritance tax does not as a general rule affect your average American in anyway. Most estates are much too small to be impacted. Also, why is it that they don't seem to understand that Obama will lower taxes for the majority of middle to low income Americans, while every last Republican president that I have seen raised my middle income taxes. Are they just stupid or brain washed?
