- What is the point of prosecuting a 94 year old man who committed crimes 70 years ago? We will waste a huge amount of money and he will die of old age before he is convicted.
Jeb Bush touts family-focused, 'fertile' immigrants as economic boon
Fri Jun 14, 2013
- "Immigrants create an engine of economic prosperity." Now is he talking legal or illegal immigrants? Does he distinguish between the two? What is our current unemployment rate again? When is the last time you saw a non-hispanic person on a road repair crew or construction crew? They always say "t …
One in four flights late in April, US says; airlines blame furloughs
Fri Jun 14, 2013
- We ran into this just yesterday. My son arrived in Kansas City on Wednesday evening to begin his new job. Thursday morning his wife's water broke. We got him a ticket home immediately but with all of the delays, it was midnight before he got home. To drive it would have been 17 hou …
Melissa McCarthy responds to critic's 'hippo,' 'tractor-sized' slams
Fri Jun 14, 2013
- In reply to: Han Solo Berger #53 Isn't there a administrator some where on this site? Obviously this person has no sense of appropriateness.
A dementia that rivals Alzheimer's strikes before age 65

- I suspect that some of the problem in diagnosing this is because many symtoms of menopause are similar.
Victim of alleged rape at Marine base: 'I thought ... I would be safe'
Fri Jun 14, 2013

Menopause cause? It may well be men, scientists say
Thu Jun 13, 2013
- I was exceptionally lucky. Once my husband read about all of the symptoms of menopause, he was very supportive. When I ended up having an emergency hysterectomy, he had my back. I suspect that the reason men look for other women and women look for other men is because there is a la …
Poll: Americans' faith in Congress lower than all major institutions -- ever
Thu Jun 13, 2013
- They vote themselves raises and then furlough people who work for them. They want to cut social security but get a pension after only four years of serving.
GOP senators urge religious conservatives not to give up the fight
Thu Jun 13, 2013
- The problem that the religious Republicans don't understand is that they do not speak for the majority. Believe it or not, the majority of Americans are not Southern Baptist, and they do not represent the values of the majority. We don't want to go back to the way things were in 1940.
As storms rage, clouds loom over federal flood insurance program
Thu Jun 13, 2013
- I keep hearing about people living in flood zones. When our house was built, it wasn't a flood plain. That has changed due to engineering down the road from us. We buy flood insurance, earthquake coverage, and everything else under the sun.

Questions & Answers

Teens banned from shopping alone on Black Friday at Mall of America
It's reasonable
SC mom busted at kid's graduation: 'I cheered for my baby and I got the cuffs'
Yes.
- I wish they had done that to the bunch of idiots yelling through my kids' graduations. You couldn't hear your kids' names being called or anything. Then these dopes start standing up and dancing in the rows totally unconcerned about who they are bumping into and knocking over.
Family removed from plane due to unruly toddler wanted a 'little bit of humanity'
No -- the carrier should have more compassion for the stress and difficulty of flying with young children.
Teenage girl calls cops to report mom having loud sex
Yes.
- She felt her mom was "disrespecting her?" Does she pay the rent or mortgage? Does she pay for the utilities? Unlikely. Since mom is paying the bills, mom can do what she wants in her house. The disrespect comes in not recognizing that and cutting mom a little slack.
Do you worry about artificial dyes in food?
Yes, and I've stopped eating foods with artificial dyes
- We figured this out 25 years ago when our kids were little. The FDA is a little slow. Red Kool-aid and cereal with sugar make kids crazy.
Were the parents of a 6-year-old cheerleader right to complain about a 'booty' cheer?
Yes. The cheer was inappropriate for the child's age.
- Parents have the right to voice their concerns anytime their child is asked to do something they feel is inappropriate.
Children's bike ride to school spurs controversy
I’m not sure. It would depend on the route, the traffic, and other circumstances.
- It depends entirely on the location. A mile in the country is nothing. A mile in downtown London is a whole different story.
