My Brother To The (eBay) RescueApr 18, 2014
Sell stuff on eBay!  Etsy!  Amazon.com!  Wave of future!  Etc etc etc.... I signed up with eBay (again), start getting those emails about how easy it is to sell stuff, so EASY to upload pics, write description, discount, etc...OVERwhelming. So my brother comes over, sees the stuff I'm making, and says nonchalantly, "I bet I could sell that on eBay."  (He sells stuff on Amazon AND eBay).  And I was like, "oh you could, could you?"  So he had his camera, t ...

Brown Stands By Supporting A Tax-subsidized Golf Course Over 9/11 Rescue Workers. Jan 19, 2010
State Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA), the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate special election on Tuesday, voted on Oct. 17, 2001 to deny financial aid to Red Cross rescue workers who had volunteered with 9/11 recovery efforts. As a state representative at the time, Brown was one out of only three legislators who had opposed the overwhelmingly bipartisan measure. As ThinkProgress reported on Saturday, at the same time Brown was voting against the 9/11 rescue workers bill, he sponsored House Bill 4 ...

Schools Are Blunt About New Pot Law: Not On Our CampusNov 10, 2012
Colleges in the land of legalized pot say they still won't allow students to smoke marijuana. 12:08PM EST November 10. 2012 - Social media is abuzz with future college students dreaming of doing bong hits openly on the greens of universities in Colorado and Washington state. But those dreams may go up in smoke. "If someone thinks they are going to walk around campus smoking a joint, it's not going to happen," says University of Washington spokesman Norman Arkans.

NRA Wants Armed Guards In SchoolsDec 21, 2012
Of all the ways in which we could respond, this, in my opinion, is the most stupid. It should be noted that "good guys with guns" are not impermeable to gunfire. Fighting fire with fire is not the way for our society to evolve. The CDC is barred - legally BARRED - from releasing data on gun deaths because the NRA is such a strong lobby. Until which time this data is made available, the NRA should keep both sides of their mouths shut. And shame on all the spineless legislators who bow to the ...

I am appalled that in 2014 this question even is asked.  Apparently there are those that do not think the government should be involved in matters of discrimination.  If not the federal government, then who?  Anti-discriminaton is a federal law and needs to be enforced just like any other law.  Below on this board there is a post regarding an article of outrage because the Departments of Justice and Education sent out a letter to schools regarding discriminatory punishm ...

This Is Why We Can't Let Liberals Run Amok. Schools Implanting IUDs In Jul 03, 2015
Seattle, the 2nd or 3rd most liberal city in the US, where minimum wage is $15 with businesses moving out of the city limits, and socialists get elected to the city council.  Meanwhile, over the past 15 years the place has become a dump and a haven for the Great Unwashed, just like San Francisco. Absolutely nothing this city does surprises me anymore.  Honestly, I have no idea how liberals can stand to look at themselves in the mirror these days. ...

INTERVIEWER: But? PAUL: You had to a ...
