Of all issues, health care might be the one that makes me the most sick (No pun intended). Health care (At least, insurance type systems) cannot just be "privatized" and made awesome. That's not how markets work. Most of these free market yahoos either don't know or don't care about even the most basic concepts of market economics.

Why does cutting the budget ONLY mean taking out Medicare and Medicaid? There is never any other place that can be cut for these guys.
It doesn't just mean those two programs. But those two are the ones whose growth, unless checked, poses the most fiscal danger. Social Security is in better shape than they are and so can wait a few years. But those programs need action, and soon.

It so bad, some of the posters on the right wing sites are not even commenting, it's so over the top. I thing the dragging Obama off the golf course was a nice touch though. Maybe add "in tears and tossed in the trunk"
Afterwards, they gave him some candy, patted him on the head, and sent him to bed.

Well, of course. The people spinning this fantasy can't accept the fact that black man was elected President, or that he has an Ivy League education. And the fact that he campaigned on going into Pakistan if the intel said OBL was there, and he did? That just pisses them off even more.
Instead of giving him any credit or legitimacy, notice how they have the black POTUS being led around like an ignorant, illiterate manservant who doesn't know or understand what's going on around him. That says more about Obama's critics than it does about him.

And gas prices have been artificially low in the U.S. for years and years. And more domestic production would just put the oil on the global market, rather than being horded here, as the average person seems to assume (And which tends to be played to).

Santorium is such a slimy piece of dog doo. He says the feminists are the cause of women not being acceptable to stay at home? Is he out of his mind? The feminists gave us choices to LEAVE the home, not stay in it. Bastard.
I'm a feminist who has chosen to stay home with the kids because I married a military officer. I chose this marriage and chose to have these children, so I have chosen to be the support person for years now. It's not always easy or fun or intellectually edifying, but with all the moving and other uncertainty, it's the right thing for the family.

Well, my impression is that the SoCons in IA and SC are still going strong and will be quite attracted to the Santorums of this world, though "Huck" is probably their favorite.
But... their base is probably shrinking (on a percentage of the electorate basis.)
Still, I think Obama and the Democratic party needs to be careful. From where I sit right now there are indications of some serious inflation happening, and skyrocketing prices along with lack of jobs is (among many things) what did in Carter.
Well said. The possibility of inflation (and stagflation) needs to be closely watched. Let's see what the Fed does this summer.
They have set the price of money at 0%. But they allow the banks to put money into the Fed at > 1%. They are giving the banks money for parking their money in the Fed. Stupid.

Jackie Cooper hit it dead-on about what tends to happen to child stars in a quote from his memoirs they quoted in the article:
“Of all the kid stars, I think I came through with more of my buttons intact,” he wrote in his best-selling memoir, “Please Don’t Shoot My Dog” (1981, with Dick Kleiner), titled after a director’s malicious trick to get him to cry for the cameras when he was 9.
“Rooney is doing well now,” he went on, “but only after eight marriages and a lengthy professional dry spell. Judy Garland and her tortured soul are gone. All the kid stars had a tough row to hoe because the public smothered them with so much love, they couldn’t grow up, and after that, they never could find enough love to flourish.”
He was right then, and it's true today.

I think the Republican Party is trying to bite off way more than they can chew. This particularly true when we consider the influence and goals of the theocon and the social conservatives intent on controlling people's behavior. I would like to see spending controlled but not with the current crop of Republicans. That only leaves a heavy dose of wishful thinking for the GOP to "change". There is of course an inherent problem with our two party system though. And the answer to that is not the Libertarian Party. But, Americans are very entrenched with traditions and that includes this blind obsession with the two parties.

Yeah, we do things different here in the states.
Years ago I worked at a place where I was one of the very few employees who had not immigrated from somewhere in South America. Long story short, I was flirting with one of my co-workers (c'mon, she was hawt, and flirting with me as well) and after she walked away, another of my co-workers came over and told me "You shouldn't do that, she's married".
"Married?!?!" I replied, "But she's not wearing a wedding ring".
"That doesn't matter" she responded.
"Doesn't matter?" I said, "You just try telling an American girl that a wedding ring doesn't matter".

Ugly Bridesmaids dresses.
My husband is trying to plant the idea with my daughter that she could elope.* (She's 16, so this is an abstract idea now.) She really, really hates being the center of attention and always has, so she may go for it, and we'd give her the money.
*For a Mormon, eloping would be slipping off to the temple with a few close friends and family members and not having a reception.

I think Carol Moseley Braun could intellectually wipe the floor with every single one of those people, and she was an also-ran on the Dem side
She's a second tier candidate at best, WUB. In 1992 she faced an underfunded, unknown named Mitch Williamson to become Senator from Illinois (the same seat Barack Obama would hold, BTW). But when she's faced tougher, better funded candidates like Peter Fitzgerald and Rahm Emmanuel she has lost. She's not all that good, WUB.

A few minutes ago on May 5, 2011, Arab TV announced that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khameini requested Iran's President Ahmadinejad to step down from his post. This has not been confirmed nor verified by Western media as yet, however, it has been reported that several of his close aides are already under arrest.
The UK Guardian reported today that many of Ahmadinejad's aides were accused of using 'supernatural powers', including invoking jinns (spirits) in an attempt to further the president's agenda against Khameini. This includes Irani Chief of Staff Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei,

My thoughts exactly. Ahmadinejad is Iran's equivalent of Rand Paul...crazy enough that most people don't take him too seriously. The Ayatollahs aren't exactly progressive, so there's a good chance they replace him with a more conservative fucktard. Though I do hope they find a moderate to take the helm and it begins a dialog that starts with returning the other two Americans being held in Iran.

We don't know how much it jeopardized this latest mission to get bin Laden because he waited 16 hours to make the decision. When you've got a mission that is that precise, down to every little detail, a president that procrastinates puts people's lives in jeopardy."

Note that to those of us IN the fandom, the freakiness is intentional, and the perception of it being not a good freakiness, is exactly intentional. It's sorta the barrier of entry! if you get it, you get it, if ya don't you don't. I don't like gun shows or gun culture or gun shops. I won't go inside. They creep me out, probably in the way that furries creep you out.
it keeps out people who would make fun of us, and it lets in those who understand. And people who want to come in, well, they have to buy the ticket to take the ride. Much like a metal show. Who's going to subject themselves t blast meats at 100 db unless they enjoy it?

Guys, quick petition immigration question...
We're working things out with an accountant to explain why I haven't filed a tax return since I got here in '06. We've got the "not meeting minimal income" bits down but they also need proof that I've been in college here since then.
So do I need an unofficial transcript or official one?
When in doubt, get the official one. I'm trying to immigrate to Canada. I have found that for most everything, they want original, official documents. So. I say to get the official one.

That is what makes it a "conflicting cover" for me. My '80s hessian roots forbid me from giving due credit to anyone who covers the lord our god Dio (or any other of our various metal gods), but at the same time I can't help preferring the Killswitch version.
