He's not on any life support and is resting comfortably. To make a long story short, apparently he ran through all their retirement money and now she has no savings. On top of that, he ran up about $60,000 in credit card bills that she knew nothing about, because the bills were sent to our house.He's been living a pretty secretive live for years, telling her he was working out of town when in fact he was right here in town, but living elsewhere. We don't know where he was living. ...

What a stupid law. Beginning March 12, the city will prohibit restaurants, mobile food carts, delis and concessions at movie theaters, stadiums or arenas from selling sugary drinks in cups or containers larger than 16 ounces. The city will begin fining sellers for violating the ban in mid-June. Yet you can buy as many 16 ounce drinks as you want. That's a waste of time and taxpayer money, don't you think? ...

Don't think it will pass the House. Border security is NOT first in this bill and Janet Napolitano is the one who will make the decision on whether the border is secure or not...and we all know she thinks it is secure...that's why they never finished the fence. Yet the border agents are saying it's not secure and....well, if it WAS secure, how did 11 Million illegal immigrants cross it? This bill also sets limits on ag workers, lower than what it is now. BTW, vote was 68-3 ...

The House on Thursday overwhelmingly voted to repeal automatic payment cuts to doctors under Medicare, endorsing a rare bipartisan deal that Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) negotiated with Democrats. The bill, which passed by a vote of 392-37, puts Congress on the precipice of ending a fight nearly two decades old over a formula known as the sustainable growth rate (SGR). Since 2003, lawmakers have put off cuts under the Medicare formula 17 times, perennially punting the solution through s ...

WASHINGTON — In a landmark vote for gay rights, the Senate on Saturday voted to advance legislation that would overturn the military ban on openly gay troops known as "don't ask, don't tell." The 63-33 test vote all but guarantees the legislation will pass the Senate, possibly by day's end, and reach the president's desk before the new year. The House had passed an identical version of the bill, 250-174, earlier this week. Repeal would mean that, for the firs ...

In its broad sweep, the massive bill would touch Wall Street CEOs and first-time homebuyers, high-flying traders and small town lenders. T ...

I must have missed the part where he called for the escalation of violence and denounced all the white supporters who showed up at the rally and march. It’s been an eventful weekend for the Trayvon Martin case. Two independent voice analyses found the voice calling for help on the 911 tapes was not that of George Zimmerman. Fire Department records show the call for a second ambulance for GZ was cancelled, casting further doubt on his claim to have sustained l ...

Ten GOP Senators crossing the aisle to support civil rights is a lot these days. Of the 32 who voted against, through the entire process in the past days only one stood up to say why. No grandstanding for the electorate on this one. Speaker of the House Boehner, still in thrall to the deep red wing of his party promises to stop it in the House., although he has enough votes to pass it. “Anyone who is a student of history knows that our history books are littered with those pu ...
