I don't know where this is going to end, but it looks like the big guys have given our jobs away. What happened to that trickle-down success politicians were promising us a few years ago? It isn't working. Politicians on both sides have sold us out, in my opinion. This isn't good, folks. New jobless claims rose unexpectedly last week to 480,000 as layoffs continue ...

Op-Ed Columnist Punishing the Jobless By PAUL KRUGMAN There was a time when everyone took it for granted that unemployment insurance, which normally terminates after 26 weeks, would be extended in times of persistent joblessness. It was, most people agreed, the decent thing to do.But that was then. Today, American workers face the worst job market since the Great Depression, with five job seekers for every job opening, with the average spell of unemployment now at 35 weeks. Yet the Senate we ...

I hope this wasn’t posted before. If it was, sorry. I don’t like to duplicate other posts. Democrats seized on the Labor Department’s report Friday that the unemployment rate in September fell to 7.8 percent, dropping below 8 percent for the first time in 44 months. So surprising was the decline that it set off speculation among some conservatives about a cooked-booked October surprise. That’s not remotely likely as playing with the numbers to influence the election wou ...

Only described as "the shooter" by Esquire, he also charges that the SEAL who recently wrote a book about the raid, celebrated in the new movie Zero Dark Thirty, glossed over the shooter's role in promoting his own shot at the corpse of bin Laden. The long article in the upcoming magazine said that the shooter came forward to talk about the raid to bring attention to the lack of support offered by the Pentagon or administration for troops once they come home. Esquire said its story " ...

My best friend (28 yo, 2 kids), is having a hysteroscopy tomorrow morning. She plans on going back to work at 4 p.m. that same afternoon. I'm telling her she probably won't be up to this, but she insists she has to go to work. Has anyone had this done and can you tell me how you felt afterward? I know we type these all the time, but I don't know has soon you feel back to yourself afterward.... TIA!! ...

NEW YORK (Reuters) U.S. shoppers spent 6.4 percent more this Black Friday weekend than last year and hit department stores and clothing shops, rather than focusing on discounters as they had done in recent years. Retail stocks have rallied in recent months as national chains have reported month after month of improving same-store sales as the economy has stabilized and they have paid down credit card debt. On Friday, the S&P Retail Index was hovering near a 52-week high, after rising 30 p ...

I wonder why there were no "handlers" around when "Illary" walked out of Chelsea's apartment. I've heard that people with Parkinson's need levodopa injections every 2 hours. There is some speculation she has a body double, but those pictures show a dramatic weight loss in a matter of hours. Hillary, just come clean and tell the truth for once in your life. ...

Anyone want something important to read, the NEEDS to be read, directly applicable to all of us regardless of politics? I think this article in The Atlantic about how our government has quietly been taken over by a business-lead oligarchy (while we quarrel with each other) should qualify. The Quiet Coup The crash has laid bare many unpleasant truths about the United States. One of the most alarming, says a former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, is that the finance ind ...

I'm pretty sure most of us are in the same boat with making our money last longer. One thing I've found is replacing hamburger with lentils in certain recipes. Hamburger Helper, for instance. I know, not the healthiest thing in the world, but if you can find them on sale for $1 it's a real deal. It works great with the Mexican type mixes. You can also take out a step by cooking the lentils along with the rice and sauce, since they don't need to be soa ...

Apparently we cannot afford to have any more disasters, and if you do, too bad for you. According to the Republicans, you are out of luck if you have been unemployed too long or you will lose your Medicare if you are under 55; and now, if you are a victim of a disaster, they will have to think about helping you. *** "House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said Monday that if Congress passes an emergency spending bill to help Missouri’s tornado victims, the extra money will have to be ...

It's kind of like peeling an onion...little by little, peeling away one layer at a time.

Because of the posts below, I decided to rely on my own research. What in the hell is wrong with the Democrats? There are numerous, hateful, disgusting comments the Liberals seem proud to own. This guy below deleted his Twitter account. There is also a video available that CLEARLY shows some of the Democrats sitting like bumps on a log, refusing to acknowledge Carryn Owens. These are the same Democrats that gave a standing ovation to Fluke because she wanted taxpayer money to pay for her $ ...

I am sure it is the first his employer in Balch Sorings has heard of it. I am just certain it was the first and only stressed moment he has had as a police officer. Whst a crock!

While this board was loaded with comments against Chik and Mr. Cathy several days ago, regarding his position on marriage, very, very little has been said about the liberal gay rights activist who enterd Family Research Council and began shooting.
