    A Letter To The Secretary Of The Treasury

    A very short "story" from Mark Twain - probably something a few people could send this winter... A Letter To The Secretary Of The Treasury Story Riverdale-on-the-Hudson, OCTOBER 15, 1902. THE HON. THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY, WASHINGTON, D. C.: Sir,--Prices for the customary kinds of...

    Rick Perry's Deer Lease

    Don't know where you're getting the idea that most didn't have a problem with much of that man's rhetoric - most of us had a problem with it when it was an issue. Not surprising that those carrying the conservative bucket of water think Perry hunting for year at a place know for what it is...

    Clarence Thomas on the take? You mean money affects the Supremes, too?

    I don't doubt Kagen's appointment was done in large part with an eye on the health legislation. Presidents have been appointing those supportive of their political agenda for years. I don't remember anything coming out about Kagen regarding being on the take or having a steady income from a...

    Clarence Thomas on the take? You mean money affects the Supremes, too?

    A couple things... I'm not up on the Geitner case, or really the Holder one either, but if they are lying or did something wrong it should be examined. Rangel went through a helluva lot, and I thought should have lost his position. Neither has anything to do with Thomas, but always expect...

    Clarence Thomas on the take? You mean money affects the Supremes, too?

    If you don't think this story has any legs - spend a little time on the Heritage Foundation website, take special note on their opinions and efforts (certainly well-funded) on Healthcare. This ain't a stretch, people.

    Clarence Thomas on the take? You mean money affects the Supremes, too?

    Democrats mobilize over Clarence Thomas ethics investigation By Rachel Rose Hartman | The Ticket ? 16 hrs ago Forty-six House Democrats have joined forces this week to ask the chamber's Judiciary Committee to investigate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for ethics violations. The...

    Hey, thought it was about time I gave an update on my cancer surgery progress

    I am 50, will be 51 in January. I think I had prostate checks a couple times in the later 40s. My cancer was found last November, I had surgery in March. Unfortunately it took three different people to feel me up down there and confer that there was an issue, then they did the biopsies. I gotta...

    Herman Cain

    Therein lies the rub. To take such an extreme plan and submit it as the plan for our future while destroying everything we have had in place for decades is a bit concerning to me. I'm not saying I'm against it - but how can you possibly figure out what the end result would be in year one, or...

    What was that giant whizzing noise that just flew over your head? :SIB

    Herman Cain

    Yet more links and posts that reference how much each class pays in to the system with no reference to how much the upper percentage earners make and control of the country's income. They pay a lot, yes. They make a helluva lot - never actually mentioned. I continue to ask about this, and the...

    ...the rich don't spend their money?

    How can he afford that with the usurious taxation he's forced to endure, let alone his company? :shrug:

    Dylan Ratigan loses it on air

    Have to run, some quick things. First, I found the Avy online, grew up in Missouri and have always been a Chiefs fan. Not sure about the 29, I think it may have been his original number with the Chiefs and he changed but I'm not sure of that. Really a big fan of Charles, very saddened by his...

    Dylan Ratigan loses it on air

    No, it doesn't, Mags. In no way can the shrinking numbers of the unions hope to donate to political parties across the country in the way ALL corporations can throughout the country. It simply is not possible. You guys talk about how the union movement is dying and is shrinking, and has lost...

    Dylan Ratigan loses it on air

    I signed his online petition, and joined his movement. I've enjoyed him and his show for a while now, and remember him from his financial tv days. He seems to be a real straight shooter, and he really understands finance and those connections to politics. For those that care to, his online...

    Hey, thought it was about time I gave an update on my cancer surgery progress

    It was pretty rough - the initial recovery was tough but I managed ok. I know so many people who have had it much worse than I did, and continue to have it rough. I think doing the procedure and choosing to get right back into classes with baseball starting up soon after was a big help mentally...

    Hey, thought it was about time I gave an update on my cancer surgery progress

    Short story continued: Personally, my urination issues were pretty good. I had occasional problems doing the unexpected or overexerted things that happen to us on a daily basis. I did leak and I did need a pad. I learned to depend on those pads, and I think I took too long wearing them. I always...

    Hey, thought it was about time I gave an update on my cancer surgery progress

    VERY short story. I was diagnosed with a small amount of prostate cancer - all in the prostrate, supposedly. Choices were: attack it aggressively, and remove the prostate. Consider other options that hope for the best, for the rest of your life, all that make a lot of sense. I chose to be...

    Hey, thought it was about time I gave an update on my cancer surgery progress

    I had a pretty long background post done and hit the wrong button, and am too tired to go back to that. I'll start by suggesting for those that really care about my issues, search and see the cancer posts I made. Most of you know the deal already, so I'll start by the important stuff...

    Hey, thought it was about time I gave an update on my cancer surgery progress

    The thought occurred to me that some of you might want to know some details on the back end of my prostate cancer removal surgery and subsequent lifestyle. I have been remiss in keeping folks updated, and that is not good considering the amazing support and positive wishes that were extended to...
