My guilty pleasure -- Y&R -- Maybe I catch it once a year or once a week, depending on my life for the last 40 years, but always enjoyed watching the amazing Katherine Chancellor. ...

The Steinle family is devastated. I wonder if BO will do the right thing and sign it into law anyway. Thank God Harry is on his way out! He is the biggest obstructionist in the history of this country. ...

The brother is really miffed at Trump for USING his family's tragedy in his political circus without any personal contact whatsoever. This is the sort of hair-brained, shoot from the hip, sensationalism you will get with Trump. I don't think he stands a snowballs chance, but in case the Conservatives really are crazy enough to nominate him and for some reason there is a solar eclipse and the world goes dark for election day and he is elected....this is the sort o ...

Penalties: 228-195 with a couple Dems voting yes...and one who couldn't make up his mind. Voted yes, changed to no twice."Kate's Law" involved penalities for illegals convicted of criminal acts, deported, and re-entered the U.S. illegally, committing other criminal acts.....257-167. ...

It turns out the picture was really of Elvis! ...

and Janet needs hers as well. LOL I know it's old news, but BH never talks like this, and it struck me really funny Link ...

is going to keep Nancy from visiting the troops in Afghanistan this year for Mother's day. Who on earth would want a visit from her on Mother's Day, except maybe her son, if she had one, and even that's kind of iffy. Besides, didn't Obama promise we'd be out of there 5 years ago? What'd I miss? ...

IMF Says Sequester Hurting U.S. Economy, Delaying Recovery As much as half of U.S. economic growth this year has been slashed due to tax increases and indiscriminate federal spending cuts known as sequestration, according to a sobering new forecast by the International Monetary Fund, which urged lawmakers to repeal the cuts. Risks to U.S. growth are "modestly tilted to the downside," the IMF said in its annual report on the nation's economy, as a reduction of $85 billion in government exp ...

It explains the impact of the sequester. If you chose to ignore it then okay...your problem, not mine. :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdTr8I2XxK0&feature=youtu.be ...

FOX NEWS INSIDER - President Obama has accused Republicans of blocking efforts to avoid the automatic spending cuts set to go into effect March 1. Fox and Friends asked Judge Andrew Napolitano whether Obama can decide where the cuts should go into effect, since Congress has not passed a budget. Napolitano explained that the sequester is not a reduction in spending, but actually just slowing down the rate of spending increases. He said Obama has an obligation to keep the most critical areas o ...

Despite doomsday warnings from the White House and lawmakers on both sides that hundreds of thousands would lose their jobs as a result of the sequester, it turns out the budget cuts have only led to one job being lost among 23 federal agencies. Now Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., is demanding answers as to why the Obama administration repeatedly warned taxpayers that the $85.3 billion in spending cuts, which went into effect in March 2013, would threaten hundreds of thousands of jobs. The findings w ...

By: Jake Sherman and Jonathan AllenFebruary 27, 2013 11:31 PM EST It’s not only the size of the sequester that has House Republicans fretting. It’s not like the GOP expects the stock market to plummet or furloughs across the federal government to drive up unemployment. House Republicans fear the massive spending cuts set to take effect Friday will result in Congress continuing to cede its constitutional power of the purse. Republicans are fretting that the $85 ...

(Paul Krugman, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, from the NY Times) was a really bad idea. Here’s how it happened: Republicans engaged in unprecedented hostage-taking, threatening to push America into default by refusing to raise the debt ceiling unless President Obama agreed to a grand bargain on their terms. Mr. Obama, alas, didn’t stand firm; instead, he tried to buy time. And, somehow, both sides decided that the way to buy time was to create a fiscal doomsday machine tha ...

From the NY Times regarding targeted smart versus dumb (sequestered-mandated 8% to everything) cuts: "Last week, a group of five former deputy defense secretaries — essentially the Pentagon’s chief operating officers — called for a “bottom up” review that reassesses the need for each major program and weapons system, saying this was an opportunity to accomplish cuts that have long been delayed, after a decade in which the American national security budget has nearl ...

We know that with the economy weakening, the GOP renegades in the House threaten to depress and destabilize it further by shutting the government down to get attention, and this is really small potatoes compared to that, but still...it's bad. Excerpt from the National Journal, a moderate Washington "insider" journal" "Now consider the National Institutes of Health. Francis Collins, the remarkable scientist heading up the agency, has said that the sequester is devastating medical research: ...

Commentary from the Washington Post: "There’s been a good deal of chatter to the effect that Republicans still retain leverage in the sequester fight, because some of them are willing to let the sequester happen. But Politico reports that GOP resolve is cracking, with GOPers privately conceding that they’d prefer to reach a deal, because the politics of allowing deep spending cuts, a gutting of defense, and a major hit to the economy are too dangerous. Of course, GOP aides ...

and other "threats" are made about closing down this and that. When taxpayers are tightening their belts even further and cutting back on extras...and while Obama tells the American people "we" all have to make sacrifices, while he goes golfing in Florida and his wife goes to Aspen....Biden just cost the taxpayers $1 MILLION for a 2-night stay in Europe....yet no one on this board seems upset about that. He met with heads of state but still....half a million dollars and 136 rooms for one h ...

I love paul ryan. well said on his part. ...

quotes: Ryan gave strong advice to GOP presidential candidates: "If you want to be the president of the United States, you should put up ideas on how to solve this country's massive fiscal and economic problems. The current president isn't doing that. Our nominees should do that." This man gets it. I don't care what party he is...he gets it. ...

In an interview with Josh Smith, WJHL-TV out of Richmond, VA, when asked where he stands on the question of legal abortions for rape and incest victims, Paul Ryan replied: "I'm very proud of my pro-life record, and I've always adopted the idea that, the position that the method of conception does'nt change the definition of life." Lah-dee-dah. Rape is just another legitimate method of conception. This should erase any doubts on where he stands, and demolish an ...

So, Ryan is up there whining about the GM plant that closed in his home town and how that's all Obama's fault. News flash: That plant closed in 2008 before Obama took office. I think I counted about 12 lies during that speech. Awesome candidate. ...

suddenly now a "compassionate" conservative and is addressing the issue of poverty. In fact, what Ryan wants to do is turn welfare and food stamp programs back to the STATES; he then can continue to eliminate the entire amount from the federal budget, as he has planned to do all along! ...

Not sure where to post this but I don't think I'll be eating at any Ryan's Restaurant anywhere anymore. The Ryan's in my city was closed without notice to their employees this past Sunday morning. The employees worked Saturday, came to work on Sunday expending to work only to find a locked door and note saying the restaurant was closed. Horrible way to treat employees. Fortunately for some of them, another local restaurant manager is willing and wanting ...

Ryan: "One of the best said, our rights come from nature and nature's god. They don't come from government. That's the idea of this country." Ummmm....then why is it, Mr. Ryan, that you want government to overule a woman's right to choose? And does this also extend to voting rights Mr. Ryan? Hmmmm. ...

. . . the federal government's. If it's good enough for them . . . The NYT said Ryan has the same plan for Medicare as federal employees enjoy (published 04/18/2011). Also, Ryan wrote this: "Starting in 2022, new Medicare beneficiaries will be enrolled in the same kind of health care program that members of Congress enjoy." His op-ed about this was published in the WSJ. Sounds good to me! ...

I have been hearing that Paul Ryan worships Ayn Rand saying the following: "I just want to speak to you a little bit about Ayn Rand and what she meant to me in my life and [in] the fight we're engaged here in Congress. I grew up on Ayn Rand, that's what I tell people." "I grew up reading Ayn Rand and it taught me quite a bit about who I am and what my value systems are, and what my beliefs are." I have to admit I did not know anything about Any Rand, so I ...
