9 The IRS watchdog investigating the disappearance of Lois Lerner's emails
told a congressional panel on Thursday night they are looking into the
possibility of criminal activity.

Just another lie to congress. Mark my words. Even though these e-mails as well as other evidence have shown her to have committed multiple felonies. She will never even be charged. Republicans either don't have the sack or they really don't care, chose one.

10 Who needs savings when the Federal Reserve can easily create fiat money?
Only a fool would save when the Fed can generate inflation with a
keystroke. Investments? Those infrastructure shovel-ready jobs are real
investments. Student loans are investments in human capital. You don't
need to save money for your retirement or children's/grand's education.
Government is what we all do together.

21 "So there I am, never smoked in my life, just minding my own business trying to get treated for the flu"

There is no 'treatment' for the flu. There are soothing words from credentialed professionals who, for a mere $100(USD) will reassure you that you are not going to die, unless the symptoms continue for an extended, and who will give you a shot/pill/prescription and tell you drink plenty of fluids and get some bed rest, and if symptoms continue then return for more treatment from a well educated credentialed professional who might then recommend you see a specialist and only charge you the standard $100(USD) for an office visit.

But I digress. . .the real indicator would be questions about illegal bullets. ..

44 I don't know. I find it a little hard to believe that Evangelical Christians would object to a candidate for Governor simply for being Jewish even though he wasn't Jewish. Evangelical Christians are amongst the biggest supporters of Israel. The fact that another Republican would lie about someone's faith is more troubling. Of course. Evangelicall Christians probably know hat the faith of most Jewish politicians in simply unswayable faith in the Democrat party

But it is a off story and a sad one. His poor family and friends.

I disagree with that. That's a broad generalization. I know someone who was a professional actor. He was regularly employed but he stopped doing that and became a acting teacher and head of a theatre dept at a private high school because he wanted to get married and wanted a job that was more secure, Having sat in on his classes and been directed by him he knows what he's doing as far as directing and acting.

But yes, the people in the State Dept are there ot because of qualifications necessarily but to advance the agenda and Harf and Psaki and what I call apparat-chicks.

Finally, when he was eight they found a transplant surgeon at the Mayo Clinic who had pioneered a new technique for grafting a head onto a recently deceased body. The parents made arrangements for the surgery and decided to surprise their son with the news on his birthday. The big day comes around and the parents say, "Son, we have a wonderful surprise for your birthday this year..."

143 By the way, this "women earn 25 cents less on average than men do" is bullshit. Here's the truth:

"In 2007, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 27 percent of male full-time workers had workweeks of 41 or more hours, compared with 15 percent of female full-time workers; meanwhile, just 4 percent of full-time men worked 35 to 39 hours a week, while 12 percent of women did. Since FTYR men work more than FTYR women do, it shouldn't be surprising that the men, on average, earn more."

A real true life story
A tale of the Western frontier

The West it was lawless
But one man was flawless
And his is the story you'll hear.

CHORUS
Wyatt Earp, Wyatt Earp, brave courageous and bold.
Long live his fame and long live his glory
And long may his story be told.

He came to Kansas
To settle in Kansas
He planned on a peaceable life.

Some goods and some chattel
A few head of cattle
A home and a sweet loving wife.

CHORUS

He wasn't partial
To being a marshal
But fate went and dealt him his hand.
While outlaws were lootin
And killin' and shootin'
He knew that he must take a stand.

CHORUS

He cleaned up the country
The Old Wild West country
He made law and order prevail
ANd none can deny it
The legend of Wyatt
Forever will live on the trail.

"Of course men earn more. They work more full-time hours."

Women also will turn down promotions more as they value their time. Old CFO had to higher a head controller outside after offering the job internally to 3 female controllers who all said no. As one said, "the 25% pay increase isn't worth the extra 15-20 hours a week I'de have to put in."

It depends on how bad the speech is. Probably his speech will be "aimed" at CPAC, so the "sit in absolute silence" plan is probably better.

But if he starts talking about how "loving" and "uplifting" illegal immigration is? Or starts defending Common Core? Get up, walk out.

As someone who has done public speaking and even theater- they get silence. NOTHING throws you off your game like throwing out an applause or laugh line and getting absolutely no response.

Even someone shouting "Boo!" or heckling you is better.

But to an empty (or even just mostly empty) auditorium, you're mentally prepared for that, and can even work around it some.

212 Personally, while I don't doubt Samuel Adams patriotism-and I think he was a sincere Christian too I think he was more than a bit of firebrand. He failed at every job he had but as a Propagandist and he was very good at that. He was behind the concept of the Boston Massacre-when the reality was the crowd was throwing shells and refuse at the soldiers and finally r hitting the soldiers with clubs and people in the back were daring them to shoot. John Adams defended the British soldiers and had some issues with the way his cousin did things.

Every shitbird we've had loves to attack the base and then pretend to tolerate them. He's part of the problem.

Sadly, if he tells the truth, (I now love gay marriage, gutting immigration laws is being nice, not stupid and other such crap) he has no business being there.
If he tells them what they want to hear, he's doing, what? Besides lying? Does anyone think that this guy represents the people at CPAC in any way? Any more than mitch the bitch, or the three assholes who greenlighted loretta the lynchmob?

222 >>Is there really a probe? Or did someone state that there was a possibility of criminal activity? They've done nothing in over two years. They flat out refuse to deal with funding, their basic job, they're poised to elect another leftist flack to AG, and we're supposed to believe that they'll actually prosecute someone drawing a pension, after receiving $129,000 in bonuses?

Yes, there's really a criminal investigation by the Inspector General.

And yes, they've done a lot in the last two years. The hearings have been on CSPAN but almost nobody watches them and the msm isn't going to report anything negative so most people don't know what is going on. Doesn't mean things haven't been happening.

Should start to get more interesting now that the emails, which the Obama administration has been falsely saying for over 2 years were destroyed, have been discovered and are being reviewed.

245 Fen,

Ted Hesburgh was President of ND forever. He was the most influential priest in the U.S. for years and years. The NYT obit can probably do better than I. "Touchdown Jesus" is on the Theodore Hesburgh Library.

Charlie Rice was a law professor for darn near 40 years. Marine, good Catholic (10 kids!), and one of those rare professors who focus on their students.

I actually never had him for class, but he helped get me to OCS in the summer between my second and third years.

I'm not Catholic, and have some issues with what I perceive to be a focus on ritual over substance, but there are a few who manage to faithfully perform the rituals while nailing the substance. These were two.

250 Female pay gap talk bugs the crap out of me. I am a female, i managed a 50 person dept, 5 were female office admins. Great and smart women. Then they started getting pregnant. I had to grit my teeth when they bounced into my office with the wonderful news. To me, it was a management nightmare with me thinking about finding a competent temp to cover maternity leave and the many, many days of time off when baby has a temp and must be picked up from daycare. Then the doctor appts, the parent/teacher conferences and on and on and on. And, yes, all of them complained of lack of promotion opportunity.

When a young working woman starts family, their work life suffers. Others have to pick up their slack. It's a fact.
