And I somehow get the feeling that in the back of Lundy's mind, he may have some doubts about Doaks' guilt...which would mean that he still might wonder about Dexter being the BHB.

Trinity-Dexter-Rita, Trinity-LaGuerta-Angel, Trinitey-Deb-Anton. Heck, the Deb one is more complex in that it would also involve Dexter and Lundy.

Guesses as to the Trinity scene with the whiskey/wine: He's re-killing his family in every cycle. Not saying that he killed them initially, just that the grief afterward (from 30 years ago) has taken him from unstable to psychopathic killer and he's re-creating how his family was killed/murdered. Gonna say that his father killed his sister/mother, which is why the female deaths aren't as violent as the last, and that Trinity killed his father by bludgeoning him to death, then went on his 30-year odyssey or recreation.

I believe it was not Trinity who killed him and am on the Anton side of the camp. If not Anton, maybe it is a yet to be revealed characted (as was the case last season with the Skinner).

Even then he could probably get away with it by admitting anger over his sister caused him to take some of Lundy's evidence which pointed to that hotel.

Fantastic scene with Dexter inside Trinity's home, holding the ashes and waiting for Trinity's reaction... and he didn't disappoint. The way Lithgow goes from helpful to sullen to psychotic to back to gentle and helpful in about 5 seconds, phenomenal. I still don't think Trinity attacked Lundy/Deb. This guy is completely under control of his emotions as long as someone isn't touching his sister's ashes and I still think he seemed disappointed when hearing of Lundy's death in the diner, almost like losing a worthy adversary before he had the chance to go against him.

5 Things to Buy on Presidents Day
Car dealers have enough bunting, streamers and wacky waving inflatable arm guys outside their showrooms to convince the more easily distracted customers that Presidents Day is the midwinter equivalent of Black Friday, but that's simply not the case. After the recession took effect in 2008 and made February sales stronger than those seen during that year's holiday season, February has ranked among the worst retail sales months of the year, according to Census Bureau data.
February retail sales cratered at $337 billion in 2009 before inching back to the record $372 billion reached in 2008. Last year, February sales hit a whopping $404.7 billion but still fell shy of March's $406 billion total. After the holidays, the post-holiday sales and Valentine's Day, America seems just fine with putting away its wallet until that end-of-March Easter uptick comes around.
If shoppers know their retail calendar and are willing to brave the elements and give up a day off on President's Day, there are still some savings to be found. With help from the folks at Lifehacker, we came up with five items that are best bought by Presidents Day or only slightly later:

3 Paths to Network Convergence
When it comes to data center networks, the maxim "two are better than one" is being flipped on its head. After decades of divergent evolutionary tracks, technology has put data and storage networks on a collision course. While it remains to be seen if the result will be the extinction of the weaker species (Fibre Channel) or the emergence of a hybrid offspring, there are valid arguments for either outcome.
In the near term, whether organizations choose the survival of the fittest--pure Ethernet--or a hybridized co-existence--Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)—largely depends on their existing storage investments. In this report, we'll outline the various convergence scenarios and the situations in which one is preferable to the others. (R3701111)
Survey Name InformationWeek 2012 Data Center Convergence Survey
Survey Date October 2011
Region North America
Number of Respondents 298 business technology professionals
Purpose To determine the state of enterprise interest in and adoption of data center convergence technologies

Skip to comments.Rhode Island House easily passes gay marriage bill
Posted on 01/24/2013 5:36:59 PM PST by Alter Kaker
PROVIDENCE, R.I. The Rhode Island House of Representatives on Thursday overwhelmingly passed legislation to allow gays and lesbians to marry in the only New England state where they can't.
The House voted 51-19 after an often emotional debate that touched on civil rights, religion and the nature of marriage. The bill now moves to the Senate, where both supporters and opponents of gay marriage say it is difficult to predict the bill's fate.
"This has been a long journey," said House Speaker Gordon Fox, who is gay and supported same-sex legislation when it was first introduced in 1997. "Today is a great day. Today ... we stand for equality, we stand for justice."
Thursday's vote posed the most significant challenge yet for gay marriage in Rhode Island. While the five other New England states already allow gay couples to marry, attempts have fallen flat in this heavily Catholic state.
"I wanted to be here to see it," said 70-year-old Warwick resident Ken Fish, who is gay. Fish showed up at the Statehouse hours early to ensure he had a seat in the crowded viewing gallery. "Go back 10 years, even five years, and I wasn't sure we'd ever get here. We're not done yet, but this is a big one."
Nine states and the District of Columbia now allow gay and lesbian couples to marry.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
How about legalizing polygamy, too. That way you can have a female and a male wife. Or two female wives who are also married to each other. Think of the three-way sex.
How are the kids Ken?? Oops...you and your partner only have dogs.
Don't be so sure. Insofar as this is about anything except showboating, it's about getting other people's kids.
Rhode Island Bath House easily passes gay marriage bill
If Lot comes to lead me from Sodom, I won't look back.
Marriage is of a unique, sublime, ineffable nature. It is a God-breathed mystery. It is among His greatest gifts to mankind, the nexus of His eternal plan and all true, lasting, earthly riches. It is the foundational building block of all decent civic, governmental institutions. It is the basis of all true economics. It breeds peace and prosperity. It is the great stabilizer of civilizations. It is the well-spring and nursery of posterity. It must be protected, or America will fail and fall.
Several cultures accepted homosexuality, the late Roman, high islamic, England in the 1930s. They were also societies in decline.
But, never before in history, not until recently have supposedly civilized people accepted fag marriage. I fear God's wrath.
I agree absolutely...They are ALL predators and perverts.
Although I don't agree with it, if the majority of people RI decides to pass "gay marriage" (an oxymoron like "gay rights"), they may not have a moral right, but they do have a legal right to do so. If I lived there I would seriously consider moving to a Christian conservative state.
Considering what Christians did to marriage through unrepentant adultery and divorce, I would have to say that homosexuals will be waiting in line for awhile.
Rhode Island's Governor Lincoln Chafee said he would veto a bill that was introduced that would have allowed the residents of Rhode Island to actually vote on whether or not they wanted fake marriage put into law. He wanted the RI General Assembly to be the one to decide. http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/miller/130122
Oh, no, we can't let the people vote on this! We're going to ram it through, instead!
Wasn't Rhode Island a Catholic colony?
The support for homosexual "marriage" has made its way into many churches. The meme goes like this - Jesus loves you no matter what and so it is all okay because love trumps everything. That is the thought process that is spreading in several churches.
"Marriage is of a unique, sublime, ineffable nature. It is a God-breathed mystery. It is among His greatest gifts to mankind, the nexus of His eternal plan and all true, lasting, earthly riches. It is the foundational building block of all decent civic, governmental institutions."
"Now, since the family and human society at large spring from marriage, these men will on no account allow matrimony to be the subject of the jurisdiction of the Church. Nay, they endeavor to deprive it of all holiness, and so bring it within the contracted sphere of those rights which, having been instituted by man, are ruled and administered by the civil jurisprudence of the community. Wherefore it necessarily follows that they attribute all power over marriage to civil rulers, and allow none whatever to the Church; and, when the Church exercises any such power, they think that she acts either by favor of the civil authority or to its injury. Now is the time, they say, for the heads of the State to vindicate their rights unflinchingly, and to do their best to settle all that relates to marriage according as to them seems good."
Pope Leo XIII, 1880
To the state in the modern era, marriage is simply whatever judges, pols, or 51% of the voting public think it is at any one time. That's it, that's all it can be. It can coincide with the actual version, or depart from it.
Ah RI. The only state more corrupt and ridiculous than MA.
and we should FORCE them to divy up their assets, not just their asses, when they separate...the odd man out should get half of the others pension, and should get health care benefits as well....
lets just make them live by their demands....
There, fixed it.
No—not remotely close. Founded by dissenters from Mass. Heavy immigration last century caused the Catholic surge..
It won't be long before love conquers incest, bestiality, and pedophilia - as long as there's "consent," of course.
And how long before consent goes away as the lone criterion? Why, it's selfish to keep your body to yourself! Love means doing things you don't want to, so strip down and bend over. It's for the good of your fellow man/dog/thing!
I wish I was only joking.
They sat down, and squirted it right on out....
It was founded by Roger Williams, a born again Christian & Baptist, to escape from the oppressive state church (Puritans) in Massachusetts, who themselves had fled from England to escape the oppression of the Church of England. Roger Williams and other early Baptists in the America colonies are primarily why our nation had religious freedom, from either a state church or oppressive government, at least up to now.
From Wikipedia....
Providence was founded in 1636 by Roger Williams, a religious exile from the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He named the area in honor of "God's merciful Providence" which he believed was responsible for revealing such a haven for him and his followers to settle.
Regarding our heritage of religious freedom, primarily because of Baptists in early America....
Thomas Jefferson reassured the Danbury Baptists that he agreed with views on religious freedom & liberty.....
The Danbury Baptist Association of Danbury, Connecticut sent a letter, dated October 7, 1801, to the newly elected President Thomas Jefferson, expressing concern over the lack in their state constitution of explicit protection of religious liberty, and against a government establishment of religion.
In their letter to the President, the Danbury Baptists affirmed that "Our Sentiments are uniformly on the side of Religious Liberty That Religion is at all times and places a matter between God and individuals That no man ought to suffer in name, person, or effects on account of his religious Opinions That the legitimate Power of civil government extends no further than to punish the man who works ill to his neighbor..."[4]
As a religious minority in Connecticut, the Danbury Baptists were concerned that a religious majority might "reproach their chief Magistrate... because he will not, dare not assume the prerogatives of Jehovah and make Laws to govern the Kingdom of Christ," thus establishing a state religion at the cost of the liberties of religious minorities.
The wall of separation, Thomas Jefferson's response, dated January 1, 1802, concurs with the Danbury Baptists' views on religious liberty, and the accompanying separation of civil government from concerns of religious doctrine and practice. Jefferson writes: "...I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church & State
I guess they won't be satisfied until they get laws to punish anyone and everyone who doesn't accommodate them.
Even though Rhode Island is 'heavily Catholic', it's legislature is also heavily Democrat, and this is their latest pet issue.
This wasn't passed by the people of RI, but by the Democrat controlled legislature. Homosexual marriage was forced on the people of MA by the Supreme Judicial Court, and the Democrat controlled legislature refused the people of the Commonwealth the ability to vote on the issue.
In the vast majority of instances, voters haven't made the choice, it's been forced on them by their 'representatives', or the courts.
No. Roger Williams formed the colony of Providence Plantation, where any religion was welcome, because he'd seen what happened with the Puritans in MA.
Maryland was the colony that was formed for Catholics to be safe, but it was open for all, as well.
Yeah, sadly I have some Catholic friends falling for that crap.
of course it passed easily
the perverts have won
this country is toast
No - Roger Williams was protestant — I'm sure he would not have approved either.
Few things will thrill the people of RI more than this!
No, RI was Puritan at first; MD had considerable Catholics but was not a "Catholic" colony per se. Now both are perpetually lost causes.
I don't know if Roger Williams' "Baptists" are like the Baptists of today or just a dissident group of Puritans from MA at that time.
I disagree, voters of RI clearly want this, for they elected the legislators, probably over and over again.
Yes, that seems to be the limit of their thought process.
Another victory for the pathologically disturbed alliance of rimmers, felchers, and same-sex child molestors. Sex offenders fit for Sodom.
I'm led to recall a line from a well-known book written by the brother of a well-known eugenicist and disciple of Margaret Sanger:
Promiscuity is a citizen's duty.
Sadly almost all churches have accepted PC and tend to believe loving these perverts is the answer. Not the case God punished them, Jesus preached love but not to the extent these wacko's have gone.
You hit the nail on the head, should have also mentioned fornication and pornography.
Then you don't understand the issue in the least. It's not at all about what happens in Rhode Island, it's about exporting this perversion everywhere and anywhere. And export, they will.
Texas is still, after 3 years, in a fight against a sodomite "couple" who got "married" in Massachusetts and now want to "divorce" in Texas.
Now, try telling us that this will be confined to a single state.
The Lord will turn the earth into a giant nuclear reaction before he allows all of THAT..I suspect...
Massachusetts and Rhode Island are ridiculous, but I think California might edge out Massachusetts, though it's close.
In our Constitutional Republic, the people of each state have to deal with their own stuff. You seem to implying that somehow this should be bumped up to the Feds (a disaster)? If not, then instead of criticizing what I'm saying, why don't you offer your solution if it's not the people of each state working these problems out for themselves?
You may have a point about the courts, but elected legislatures are normally the way we make laws in this country. There were no public referenda on enacting the income tax, declaring war on Japan in World War II, making marijuana illegal or making no-fault divorce legal.
I was sorry to hear in the course of the Inaugural Festivities that the "National Cathedral" was now offering/allowing same-sex marriages to take place there...if it was just some ordinary Church, or even an "ordinary" Cathedral, it would be a bit different.
The point being, nine states and D.C. do not constitute "national", and this Cathedral is not representing the nation. It's too bad, and I hope the Catholics in Rhode Island stand up for truly representing their constituents.
That may be, but when public opinion is CLEARLY against an issue, and the courts and legislatures take it out of our hands, that is wrong. Sadly, too many people just let it go, thinking, well the law is passed, we can't do anything about it, and don't even vote against the legislator who voted against what his or her constituents wanted.
"Rhode Islands Governor Lincoln Chafee said he would veto a bill that was introduced that would have allowed the residents of Rhode Island to actually vote on whether or not they wanted fake marriage put into law."
In the last 10 years, the Minnesota Legislature has approved public funding for a new professional baseball and a professional football stadium. Minnesota state law says that the residents of the county in which the stadium is going to be built are allowed to hold a referendum as to whether they want to be taxed.
In both cases, the legislature, after being pressured by the elites, stripped the referendum requirement from the bills - essentially letting the Legislature decide the matter. In both cases, these bills passed thru a GOP-controlled Legislature.
This type of elitist "we are sooo much smarter than you" thinking is not restricted only to the Democrats.
Right. The wormy Republicans are just as bad in many ways. Look at "Republican" Mayor Bloomberg for just one example.
And this is why they are what they are-they have a seared cauterized conscience,which leads to a reprobate mind,can't get any planner then that...........

Rat Terrier History
- The rat terrier's ancestors may have included Manchester terriers, smooth fox terriers, and perhaps whippets. Later breeds that may have played a role included the beagle, Italian greyhound, miniature pinscher and Chihuahua.
- Mixes of these breeds came from dogs brought to America by working class immigrants from Britain in the late 1800s.
- Rat terriers were used for both vermin control and for rat pit contests, where men bet on how many rats in a pit a dog could kill in a certain time period. A rat terrier holds the rat killing record of 2501 rats in a seven hour period in an infested barn.
- President Theodore Roosevelt hunted with these dogs and even kept some in the White House. He is credited with naming them rat terriers.
- The Rat terrier has traditionally been viewed as a strain, rather than a breed, of dog, which means that crossing to other breeds and mixes has been permissible throughout most of its history. The modern incarnation of this practice is probably the feist, a strain of small terrier-like hunting dogs used to catch squirrels and other rodents.
- Because it has been bred as a strain with used to hunt game of varied size, the rat terrier comes in a great range of sizes.
- Rat terriers were popular farm dogs by the early 1900s; in fact, although no statistics are available, they were probably among the most popular dogs in America.
- With the advent of pesticides in the 1950s, the rat terrier's popularity as a working vermin hunter declined. By that time, however, the breed had a following because of it attributes as a companion.
- Several breed clubs now exist, but they disagree about what the best course is for the future of the breed.
- The National Rat Terrier Association has maintained breeding records for decades and is opposed to recognition by major kennel clubs.
- The United Kennel Club recognized the rat terrier in 1999.
- The Rat Terrier Club of America is working toward AKC recognition. It is recognized by the AKC Foundation Stock Service, which makes it eligible to compete in many AKC performance events.
Rat Terrier Behavior Concerns
- Makes a loyal and energetic companion.
- Playful and very good with children.
- Somewhat reserved with strangers
- May be cocky and even scrappy with other dogs.
- May not be good with small pets, and is especially ill-advised around rodents.
- Does best with reward-based training involving food or games.
- Eager to please, and learns quickly, but is easily bored and distracted.
- Some may bark a lot.
Rat Terrier Suggested Exercises
- Makes an alert housedog.
- This is a very active and playful dog. A daily walk around the block, coupled with several play sessions, will help meet its exercise needs.
- May not do well in dog parks unless large dogs are segregated from small dogs. Even so, some rat terriers may bully other small dogs.
- Games and tricks provide needed mental exercise.
- Its thin coat and small size makes it vulnerable to chilling.
Rat Terrier Grooming
- Coat is smooth, hard and short.
- Brushing once a week will remove dead hair.
- Shedding is average.
Suggested Rat Terrier Nutritional Needs
- Rat terriers tend to stay in good weight or be slightly overweight.
- Adult dogs should be fed a balanced diet, with restricted calories if the dog starts to gain too much weight.
- Small snacks can cause weight problems in very small dogs.
- Tiny rat terrier puppies should be fed often to prevent hypoglycemia, a serious condition to which very small puppies are prone. Frequent small meals of high protein, fat, and complex carbohydrates may help guard against this condition.

- The Cat Fanciers Association granted championship status to this breed in 1988.

DFS Force-Placed Insurance Legislation is a Joke
By Brian Penny
"As long as they look good when they be doin' bad;/Then the separation from the truth is getting' vast - fast." - Lupe Fiasco, "Strange Fruition"
NEW YORK (MainStreet)--I saw Force-Placed Insurance, the practice where banks force mortgage borrowers to have insurance, bubbling in the media again toward the end of March, but I was busy with my van renovation, yoga, and a few other projects I'm working on. Last night I finally had a moment to read what the commotion is all about. I chuckled for a moment as I read about how the New York Department of Financial Services slapped Assurant (AIZ) with a $14 million "blow" of a fine. There was a time I applauded the NY DFS. I looked up to it way before it was cool (and for the record, I was a hipster way before it was cool too), but if you ask me, $14 million is hardly even a slap on the wrist.
Keep in mind the NY DFS is run by Benjamin Lawsky. Last year people acted like Lawsky was the new Harvey Dent on Wall Street when he fined the British bank Standard Charter $340M for allegedly laundering $250 billion of Iranian money. I did some quick math:
Force-Placed Insurance Profits = ~$45 Billion @$5B per year since 2007 (and going back to 1994)
Around 1996, I got caught stealing a $2.50 X-Men Cyclops action figure from Walmart (WMT). I was fined $102.50, didn't get to keep the action figure, and got 60 days of probation, during which I had to submit to random drug tests, write an essay about why shoplifting is wrong and serve 16 hours of community service.
Ignoring the fact that I'm the only one who didn't get to keep what he stole (which I'm not bitter about in the least) and focusing only on the numbers, here's a breakdown of the crime/punishment ratio:
Crime |Fine |Crime/Fine
- Standard Charter: $250B | $340 | 0.14%
- Force-Placed Insurance: $45B | $14< | 0.03%
- Brian Penny: $2.50 | $102.50 | 4100%
At this point I feel the need to point out that I'm not a professional accountant or a renowned economist. I'm not some sort of Will Hunting level math genius either. I didn't attend MIT and never saw a need to progress beyond calc I. I see a few problems with this chart though.

Nine other teams were either rated a C or a C+. There were no C- grades.
Ravens: A-
Bengals: B+
Steelers: B+
Cleveland Browns
A bit of an unusual draft for the Browns, who landed an impact defender in OLB Barkevious Mingo at No. 6 and then picked just once more (CB Leon McFadden) in the next 167 selections. Cleveland did pick up a third- and fourth-rounder in 2014. Plus, remember, the Browns traded in this year's second-rounder to get WR Josh Gordon in the 2012 supplemental draft. That Gordon gamble paid off and the Browns will have lots of choices in 2014. Strictly in terms of the 2013 draft, though, there's not much to go on here — slightly disappointing for a team hoping to make big strides.
Glad we're gaining ground.
What are some of the other grades out there? I am not an ESPN insider, so I don't have access to some of those ratings.

Skip to comments.HHS releases rules requiring pre-existing conditions coverage

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
My pre-existing condition is oceans of debt. Now cover me!
It's now illegal to charge women a higher premium than men for medical insurance just because they use more medical services.
But it's still perfectly legal to charge men more for life insurance and car insurance because they cost more to cover.
This is welfare, but it isn't anywhere near "insurance", by miles.
Pay the bill, suckers. Oh, my.
Not in socialist California. Auto insurance is unisex rated. Also, I fully expect unisex rating legislation on all insurance products including life insurance nationally. Just a matter of time.
So, the ACA is still being written, long after it was passed. That is an abomination unto itself, that the House and Senate of the USA passed a bill that was not in any way complete. I'm not up on the rules of Congress, but that certainly it seems as if passing laws that are not even written yet should not be legal. Not that it's ever stopped this bunch before.
Pelosi told the truth (for once) and it served as a warning, when she said it would have to be passed so we could see what was in it.
Whether you're getting $1000 a month or $2000 a month...everyone pays the $105 out of their SS check.
With so many seniors now on SS, this should be rather lucrative for the government....which is probably why Obama robbed 2% of the SS Fund for the last 2 years.
Also, first time SS paid out more than it took in.....and no one noticed.
Great news. Obamacare is collapsing. Only 14 states agree to fund Exchanges and 30% increase in poverty level medicaid. Its is becoming clear that it is over for this program. And the Supreme Court ruled states cannot be punished in any way.!! 20 states have clearly opted out. Sabilious had to extend the deadline to opt in until December 15. It was embarrassing obammy how few had agreed to get screwed. This is wonderful news.Obamacare is finished!!
I bow to your superior knowledge of insurance pricing in different states. Lots of states do still allow this discrimination.
If I remember correctly, teenage boys have something like 5x the property damage rate for car insurance as teenage girls. Who bang up quite a few cars themselves.
That's just a name game. In actuality, the higher premiums for the men are paid for by the higher premium they charge women to cover the difference.
The same will happen in health insurance, everybody will pay an equal but substantially higher premium.
Socialism makes everybody equally miserable........
For decades now, Congress has written "laws" that consist of a vague goal and authorization for federal agencies to write regulations to implement that goal.
Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act are great examples. CWA originally covered only "navigable waterways" and now covers anything wet, or even dry land if cattails or other 'aqueous" plants grow on it.
I want pre-existing coverage required when I sign up for Car Insurance.
Really Ocifer! I only had like mebbe a cupla beersSSs!
We're going to need multi-terabyte hard drives if we ever tryt to download the final copies of everything.
Nope. ObamaPhone Lady won't pay a dime for full coverage.
Reap the whirlwind slaves! That is now my standard response to anyone that has any complaint about higher costs, higher taxes, etc.
They were quiet after that.
They were quiet after that.
So now, a man who is not ever going to encounter pregnancy costs is paying for women's costs for pregnancy. That is the main difference between male and female insurance costs. I know from buying insurance for employees in the past. At one point, we had five men and one woman, and hers cost more than the rest of us combined.
This isn't insurance any more. It is just cost distribution...and there is no personal accountability on costs...each person gets services, and the whole population is going to split the costs equally. All costs will go up and scarcity will soon ensue, creating less supply, longer waits and even higher costs. Brilliant.
They were quiet after that.
I am surprised at least one didn't argue until blue in the face that it wasn't true. Too many have completely abandoned logic and common sense in our society.
"HHS said it will allow plans to charge a higher deductible in order to meet the technical standards for a low-cost policy...'Otherwise, the math doesnt work,' Cohen said."
The math still doesn't work, buddy.
What I'm wondering now is this: in cases where someone is paying premiums that exceed the cost of the Obamacare penalty, wouldn't it make a certain sense to just drop your health coverage? Since pre-existing conditions can no longer be refused coverage, wouldn't it make more sense to pay the penalty and then enroll in a plan if and when you get seriously ill?
The term 'insurance' is not relevant to FORCED, nationalized health care. Call them 'coverage' companies.
Requiring companies to cover people for things that happened last year. Brilliant.
The reason they want pre-existing condition coverage is to eventually complain about the cost of them. Some day these people will be referred to the death panels. The death panel will determine that your newly discovered stage 3 or 4 cancer doesn't meet the cost/benefit analysis, and you will be prescribed pain killers.

And, they'll use the same argument. Compassion. Out of compassion we need to cover these poor souls.
Future: out of compassion we need to ease their suffering out of this world.
Why can't Republican politicians be as good as you at making a point on an issue?
This will collapse the insurers which is their goal...
I thought the 1996 HPPA law did that already...
There's your tax "younger, healthier people". To all the fools that voted for Obama, look in the mirror and say "dumb ass".
this was withheld until after the election, of course. no one called them on it.
and the obamites couldn't stop talking about mittens' "hidden" tax returns. the only thing "hidden" from us was what he was planning on doing to our health care as soon as he was safely reelected.
So do these rules not apply in states that have refused to set up Obama's exchanges?
I feel bad for all the youth, and people after, who will never have known the joy of living in a country that was free, wasn't completely broke and had a ton of cutting edge industries that served the population brilliantly.
are you kidding? They will force it through.
Communal Communist Obamanation Revenge File.
Tell your friends that you hope they enjoy the *Medicaid* they voted for.
Yes, yes this will affect all insurance companies in all states and territories in the country.
The next question to ask is if the ObamaCare waivers for 2013 will allow those who receive the waiver to waive off the Pre-X regs.
This has turned into the enslavement of able bodied working aged males. They will be doubly burdened by the normalized premiums, both by gender nuetral and age nuetral normalization.
Expect to see the numbers of uninsured younger working age men in this country to skyrocket over the next 5 years , to at least double the current levels. Paying the yearly fine will be substantially cheaper than carrying the insurance.
This is exactly what happened in Massachusetts due to RomneyCare, and it will now spread throughout the country.
RomneyCare 2.0 With costs rising fast, Massachusetts moves to dictate medical care

I can't wait to see the look on Sandra Fluck's face (actually, I can wait) when she finds out her insurance premiums are going to pay for me to have Viagra.
True. Or call them payers. The next step is single payer which is the overt goal of Obamacare. The final step is nationalized medicine since the single payer will dictate everything.
Yep, and there's another goal after that.
I take Synthroid for a thyroid disease, and as such I take medication daily and will continue to have to do so for the rest of my life. I also need to have a blood test every so often to check those levels to make sure they're where they need to be.
Screw Buckwheat's Nazi decrees. It's time for states to arrest federal fascist bureaucrats and send them to prison. Ninety-nine years with possibility for parole in 100 years.
Expensive and affordable? Only in the mind of a liberal.
Are you saying that EVERYONE will have to pay this Part B coverage at $105 a month?
I don't carry it and I know others who also don't carry it.
Some of them are covered by the VA, so for them it is definately a coverage they don't use.
I am healthy enough to not spend the money. I have been on Medicare for over 8 years and I haven't used a penny of it.

Desktops & All-In-Ones
The following article describes the functions and usage of the software recovery mechanism contained on your hard drive:
This new form of recovery allows the user to restore the preloaded operating system and software on the machine back to the original out of factory condition. This can be useful if the machine is encountering problems that can not be resolved (i.e unrecoverable software errors) by any other means. Because the recovery partition is the only means of recovery that came with the machine it is not recommended that you remove the data within the service partition or delete the partition to reclaim the additional hard drive space. In the off chance that the hard drive fails, a replacement drive and a CD with the preload recovery image may be obtained by contacting the Support Center.
Prior to performing a software recovery, Lenovo recommends returning your system to it's original factory configuration by removing all hardware that has been added to your system.
When the system first starts, the following message will be displayed on a blank screen:
To Start the Product Recovery program, press F11
This message will stay on the screen for approximately 2 seconds, and it will be there every time the machine is started from a powered off state. If the F11 key is pressed while the message is displayed, then the system will enter the Service partition.
If the system is a Microsoft Windows 2000 / Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 "Choose and Recover" system, a screen will be displayed before the main Recovery Utilities screen: Machines with a single operating system preload will only display a single operating system restore option.
Windows 2000: Recover Windows 2000, or change your
operating system to Windows 2000
Windows NT 4.0: Recover Windows NT 4.0, or change your
operating system to Windows NT 4.0
The above selection does not apply to all systems.
At the main menu, something much like the following three options will be displayed.
When a "Full recovery" or a "Partial recovery" is selected, the user will have to confirm that they want to restore the preload and proceed. If the user answers Yes, then THE ENTIRE HARD DRIVE WILL BE FORMATTED. ALL USER DATA WILL BE LOST, and the system will be restored to the original out of factory condition.
An additional undocumented feature added to the User Interface is the ability to drop directly out to a DOS prompt. Pressing F3 (there is no prompt for this) will exit the recovery utility and go to a DOS prompt. Pressing Esc will reboot the system.
When "System utilities" is selected a menu similar to the following will be displayed.
The Utilities screen allows the user to create their emergency repair diskette. This diskette can be used to restore the Master Boot record. From this option the user can proactively create a diskette which can be used in the event that the Master Boot Record is altered and they no longer see the F11 prompt on bootup. Lenovo also includes a DOS based utility in the C:\IBMTOOLS directory that will do the same thing called RRDISK.BAT. If the user executes this function they will see the following message:
Use this utility to create a Recovery Repair diskette. If the
message "To start the IBM Product Recovery program, press F11"
is not displayed when you start your computer, you might be able
to restore access to the IBM Product Recovery program on the hard
drive by using this diskette.
To create a Recovery Repair diskette, insert a blank diskette into
diskette drive A, and press any key.
After inserting the diskette and pressing a key, LOADDSKF.EXE will create a diskette from the file RRDISK.DSK. The user will then see the message:
The diskette has been created. Label the diskette "Recovery
Repair diskette," and store it in a safe place.
To run the Recovery Repair diskette, insert it into diskette
drive A, and restart the computer.
The user will be returned to the Recovery User Interface.
Upon booting from the diskette, the user will see the message:
This diskette will attempt to restore access to the IBM Product
Recovery program on the hard disk
Press any key to continue
After pressing a key the Autoexec will run "a:\bmgr.exe /Fboot.bin /Mbgr%CC%.scr /s" with CC being the country code. If the program runs successfully, the following message will be displayed:
Access to the IBM Product Recovery program has been
restored. Remove the diskette from the drive, and press
Ctrl+Alt+Delete to restart the computer.
If the program did not run successfully (user has deleted the partition with the label IBM_SERVICE) the user will see the message:
The IBM Product Recovery program could not be found on
your hard drive. Contact the IBM Personal Systems IBM Support Center
for information about obtaining and IBM Product Recovery CD
for your computer.
One other item of interest on this diskette is the MENUcc.SCR or BMGR.SCR file. Within this file are the lines:
<PROMPT1=To Start the IBM Product Recovery program, press F11>
This could be useful to hide the "To Start the Product Recovery program, press F11" message from the end user. You could change the prompt to a blank or a dot, or you could change the wait= to be very short so that the message can't be read and the key can't be pressed. Rules for these values:
The text of a valid MENUcc.SCR or BMGR.SCR file is displayed above. All spaces following <PROMPT=" are significant.

Garage Door Buying Info
A garage door is a large and important investment. The doors can account for one-third or more of the front exterior look of your home. The style of the proposed doors needs careful consideration. In addition, think about such things as insulation and the uses of your garage. Read on for more information regarding your purchase.
First, you need to determine the availability of space regarding the size of the garage door. Garage doors come in many sizes, so you'll be sure to find the size you need.
Style is one of the biggest decisions you will have to make regarding your garage door installation process. Most people like to select a style that is complementary to the rest of the home's exterior. Let's consider some general options:
- A flush-paneled garage door is flat with panels of little texture. These doors can blend well with the surrounding walls of the garage door and can be used to deemphasize the look of the garage door itself.
- Raised panels give a sense of depth and uniqueness. This style is more apparent than the flush panels and can add to the exterior look of the house.
- Short-raised panels also provide depth. Some people decide to use two shades of color when painting this style of garage door to add accentuation.
Another consideration is the composition of the garage doors. Most doors are made of either wood or steel. Wood garage doors provide you with more options because manufacturers are able to get a bit more creative with making designs in the wood more ornate. Steel garage doors tend to be more economically-priced than wood doors. Most manufacturers provide consumers with an array of color options. Alternatively, (as with wood doors) you can decide to paint the steel doors a color to match or complement your house. Do you want to have windows implemented into your garage doors? Windows can break the monotony of a plain-looking garage door. You can decide upon curved, square, rectangular, or arched windows.
In addition, steel doors may be single, double, or triple layered to make them more insulated, durable, and soundproof. These are important factors if you're considering using your garage as extra 'living space' rather than a place to situate your car or other items. Garages can become a recreation room, workshop, play area, etc. With this in mind, it may provide the extra incentive to purchase a heavily-insulated door.

Why Backing Up Mobile Devices May Be A Nonissue
Got PC backups down pat? Congratulations. Now get ready to start over from scratch, because smartphones and tablets are a whole new ballgame. In mobile operating systems, apps and their data are tightly coupled into a single container, and mobile devices vary widely in how and where they store data and the degree of access provided to third-party apps. As we wrote when discussing the nascent state of mobile device backups, on the iPhone or iPad this means apps can back up only contacts, calendar and photos; iPad users can't back up locally created content. Android is slightly more open, but even here, users can back up only device and browser settings, the alarm clock, call logs, contacts and playlists — better, but hardly a complete system snapshot.
For some shops, that may add up to a data protection nightmare. But for others, there are workarounds. In this report, we'll examine the complexities of protecting data on smartphones and tablets — including whether, in this era of cloud services, backing up the device itself even makes sense. In those cases where it does, we'll outline challenges, examine mobile client backup options and identify important features and implementation considerations. (R7280813)

Stop Getting a Tax Refund
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Most taxpayers will get a tax refund this year, to the tune of $2,900 per payer , says the Internal Revenue Service, That's about 58% of the 80 million U.S. tax filers getting a refund.
It's tempting to want to spend it ASAP, maybe on a set of golf clubs or countertops for the kitchen. But one financial services professional says you have "better uses" for your refund -- and even wonders why you should set yourself up to get one at all.
Anna Benham, an Ameriprise (AMP) financial adviser in Washington, D.C., says the real key is making tax refunds work for you.
How can you make better use of your tax refund?
Benham: Plan what you are going to do with it before it arrives in your mailbox. If you have a plan, then temptation won't get the better of you when the check arrives. Consider filing early so that you get your money back sooner and can implement your plan sooner.
The better thing to do is not have a tax refund ... my rule is (depending on who you are and your comfort level) $500 to $1,000 plus or minus when it comes to owing the IRS or receiving a tax refund. By this I mean that, ideally, an individual should aim to receive no more than a $1,000 refund on the positive side and to not owe more than $1,000 on the negative side. This is a number that most people can plan for by setting dollars aside each month to cover the debt. It's usually more efficient to owe the IRS than to receive a refund because that way you've used the IRS money during the year, interest free.
What are some Smart ways to "spend" a tax refund?
Benham: I always say split it in three ... one for me, one for them and one for the future.
- If you can comfortably afford it, take one-third and spend on something fun for you, such as a vacation, a large-ticket item or another "want."
- Take one-third and pay down debt, if you have any. If not, then pass this third onto the next area: "future."
- Take one-third and put it toward your future financial goals: retirement, a new home, child's education, etc.
Should consumers who get a large refund consider reducing their withholdings to increase cash flow throughout the year?
Benham: Yes. By having extra money withheld from your paycheck, you are, in effect, giving an interest-free loan to the IRS. While this is great for the IRS, it is usually not in your best interest. If you can adjust withholding so that you are getting these dollars during the year, you can follow the three rules above during the year rather than all at once:
- Enjoy one-third during the year or save it up (with interest paid to you instead of IRS) for something fun for yourself.
- Pay off debt sooner - meaning pay less interest on your current debt by reducing it consistently during the year instead of waiting until the end of the year and building up all that interest due.
- Invest for your future on a more regular basis. You can take advantage of dollar cost averaging during the year and therefore give yourself a better chance at higher savings instead of letting the IRS have your growth.

TRAINING LEVEL: Accomplished
CLASS SIZE: Minimum: 20 Maximum: 30
This course includes both 2-lane and multi-lane highways and provides a proven methodology for the safety performance of geometric design decisions in a like manner to that of predicting capacity and level of service based upon large scale definitive research. The crash prediction models for total crashes and cross-section related crashes based upon lane width, shoulder width, roadside hazard, traffic volume (exposure) and other characteristics are presented. Examples of safety performance prediction are presented for highway segments and intersections.
Discussion of research and the interactive effects of lane and shoulder widths, hazard rating, and access density (driveways) on safety performance are presented. Each student receives a copy of the "Safety Effects of Highway Design Features" manual.
IMPORTANT: Participants should bring a scientific notation calculator as the course involves calculating decimal value to decimal power for crash prediction values.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

5 Strangest College Bowl Game Sponsors
PORTLAND, Ore. (TheStreet) -- In this final year of the Bowl Championship Series, college bowl sponsorship remains a sliding scale of corporate haves and obscure small-business have nots.
At the top of the pile are the January BCS bowls and their big-money sponsors, including PepsiCo's
It's a simple matter of supply and demand. When bowls such as the Cotton Bowl and Citrus Bowl have decades of history and roughly $4 million to pay out to high-ranked teams, it's a whole lot easier to draw sponsor whales such as AT&T
In the middle, however, is an odd mishmash of high-profile companies trying to keep their name in customers' faces and little guys looking for their big break. Every so often, this yields a head-scratching bowl name that leaves fans wondering how it happened. We found the five bowl sponsorship examples that didn't quite pass the sniff test, starting with:
Holiday Bowl
Dec. 27
Sponsor: Bridgepoint Education
Location: San Diego
Matchup: Baylor vs. UCLA
Payout: $2.4 million
Think what you will of Baylor and UCLA, but they're universities with solid histories and serious reputations. They have sprawling campuses, honored faculty and a student body that matriculates, graduates and becomes a proud, multigenerational alumni base.
Bridgepoint Education and its for-profit Ashford University and University of the Rockies don't quite match up. These regionally accredited, cash-gulping, mostly online diploma mills (Ashford University has a campus in Clinton, Iowa; University of the Rockies has a building in Colorado Springs, Colo.) clear more than $200 million in profits, but drew an audit from the Department of Education in 2008 that found Bridgepoint was paying recruiters based on enrollments, improperly clinging to $1.1 million in federal funding and sitting on financial aid payments made to students who'd already withdrawn.
That's no small chunk of financial aid, either, as a Senate hearing chaired by Iowa Democrat Tom Harkin found that more than 60% of Bridgepoint students withdraw before completing their programs. Of Bridgepoint's hundreds of millions in profits, more than 86% come from federal funds. While for-profit University of Phoenix's stadium will be empty during this year's bowl season, students and athletes from each of the schools in this bowl should consider themselves fortunate that members of Congress have never had to say the following about their universities:
"In the world of for-profit higher education, spectacular business success is possible despite an equally spectacular record of student failure," Harkin said. "Bridgepoint is a private company, but it is almost entirely dependent upon public funds ... I think this is a scam, an absolute scam."

Well, Bruce Springsteen's Wrecking Ball got the shaft in the Album of the Year category for this year's Grammys, and we're not happy about it. Granted, it's hard to argue with any of the acts that did get nominated, and how could you not be happy for the boys in fun., with their lack of capitalization and unnecessary period? (You read about them here first, folks!) But it would have been nice to see Bruce among the anointed.
Still, he took home three nods — Wrecking Ball is up for Best Rock Album, and "We Take Care of Our Own" for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song, whatever the difference may be. And he can take credit for inspiring the Eric Church song "Springsteen," which got two noms of its own, setting up a possible bizarre meta-performance in which Church performs "Springsteen" for Springsteen. Set your DVR! (See the full list of nominees here.)
Most importantly, though, he'll accept the honor of MusiCares Person of the Year just prior to the Grammy broadcast — and a most deserving honor it is, we might add.
And before Bruce goes crying in his beer, he should also take solace in the fact that Rolling Stone named Wrecking Ball the best album of the year, because Jon Landau still has those incriminating photos of Jann Wenner.
In other Springsteen headlines:
In case you missed it: Australia! I don't just write here, you know — my piece for HuffPost UK asks, "Is Springsteen's best work still ahead of him?" Ultimate Classic Rock is running a poll for the best song of the year, and if you don't vote Springsteen might get beaten by Kiss. I'm just saying. Springsteen is Uncut magazine's Man of the Year. This was a fact that prompted no shortage of circumcision jokes from our Twitter followers. The Onion uncovers Springsteen's big New Jersey lie. Paste names Springsteen the third best live act of 2012. THIRD? HuffPo says Springsteen is among the over-50s aging most gracefully. If you can call crowd-surfing "graceful." Little Steven, who apparently does not require sleep, talks to the NYT about "Not Fade Away," his cinematic collaboration with "Sopranos" creator David Chase. Our own Anne Haines weighs in on Thanksgiving, family, Springsteen and ghosts. Buzzfeed revisits The Year in Springsteen. Bruce Springsteen and Jimmy Carter, together again.
Finally, time is running out on the Backstreets Magazine "Photographers for Sandy Relief" contest — you only have until Dec. 10 to give if you want to be in the running to receive an exclusive Springsteen print, and help the struggling residents of New Jersey. Get out that checkbook!

Fundamentals: Semantic Database Technology
Semantic technology has created a disruptive opportunity for businesses to obtain more value from their data. The concepts surrounding the semantic Web, such as linked data cloud and data mashups, are powered by a set of emerging standards and products that, for now, are mainly used for consumer services. However, these technologies are equally compelling as part of an enterprise data platform behind the firewall.
At a high level, there are five main benefits of semantic technology:
> It works in tandem with your existing database investments;
> It aligns with Web technologies;
> It speeds the integration of multiple databases;
> It's based on data structures that are flexible by design; and
> It can help enterprises tackle big data challenges.
In this report, we'll introduce the key data-centric semantic technologies, compare semantic and relational data management, outline several situations where this technology should be considered, discuss products in the semantic space and highlight companies already finding value through the use of semantic technology (R6171212)

TRAINING: There's nothing typical about my training. It's a constant evolution, refining the process of constant improvement. I develop my skill set, improve my strength and conditioning and deepen my understanding of this sport.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training in June of 2009. I started fighting because a few fighters that I know kept mentioning how good I would be due to my aggressive wrestling style, so after a while, I decided to give it a try and haven't looked back.
What ranks and titles have you held? None
Do you have any heroes? My father Arnoldo Bermudez, Travis Pastrana, Urjiah Faber, and Rob Dyrdek. The reason why I look up to all these guys is because they are entrepreneurs.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? Anything I do I don't like to half ass it, so if I am going fight MMA, I want to fight the best.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I attended Bloomsburg University. I was an Anthropology major and minored in Studio Arts.
What was your job before you started fighting? I worked two jobs, landscaping and loading package cars at UPS.
Specific accomplishments in amateur competition? I was a Freestyle All American and was ranked in the top 25 in NCAA Div 1 Wrestling.
Specific accomplishments in pro competition? Semi-Finalist in Shine Fights Grand Prix.
Ranks in any martial arts styles: I hold a white belt in every martial art style.
Favorite grappling technique: Ground and Pound
Favorite striking technique: Left hook

Strategy: How Cybercriminals Operate
To know a cybercriminal is to be able to defend against him. One reason cybercriminals are so successful is that they observe and react to events far more rapidly than their victims. However, better international collaboration and information sharing, better security awareness and more risk for the mules involved in cybercrime (wittingly or not) will raise the cost of criminal activity and hit the profitability of criminal organizations.
Making it harder to breach our defenses and infect machines is our best option. Cybercrime is not going to be solved just by deploying more and more security devices. Technology can help manage the risk, but changing online behavior to minimize human error — particularly errors caused through ignorance — is vital. Keeping users and clients informed of the latest techniques being used by online criminals is also important, but enterprises also need to make them aware of what to look for in general — not just the latest scam. If users are aware of how cybercriminals behind the malware work, they will better appreciate the steps they need to take to protect themselves, our networks and our economy. (S7100613)

Skip to comments.Rand Pauls Budget Kills Departments of Commerce, Education, Housing, and Energy
Posted on 03/25/2013 11:23:17 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) today introduced a budget he says will balance the budget in five years with $2.3 trillion in tax cuts.
Pauls Platform to Revitalize America brings spending below the historical average of 19.1 percent of GDP in the first year and spends $9.6 trillion less over the next 10 years based on the current Congressional Budget Office baseline. It achieves a $17 billion surplus in FY2018 and reforms entitlement programs Medicare recipients, for example, would receive the same healthcare plan as members of Congress.
It replenishes $126 billion to the Defense Department stripped in sequestration and puts an annual cap on foreign aid at $5 billion. The plan also repeals ObamaCare and Dodd Frank.
Pauls budget kills four government agencies: the departments of Commerce, Education, Housing and Urban Development, and Energy. It also privatizes the Transportation Security Administration.
Washington has a serious and reckless spending problem that must be re-evaluated. American families across the country are required to live by a budget and Congress should be no different every taxpayer dollar needs to be spent more wisely. Therefore, I am offering a plan that will address this countrys looming debt crisis in a truly timely manner balancing the budget in just five years, Paul said. The time has come for a change that will restore fiscal order in this country, and I will do everything in my power to ensure that this happens.
His budget includes a flat tax and lifts barriers to domestic energy exploration and production.
UPDATE: Late this evening the Senate voted on Pauls budget as an amendment to the continuing resolution. It failed 18-81.
(Excerpt) Read more at pjmedia.com ...
The headline: good
Personally, I don't have a problem with this.
Hack away! Slash that puppy.
works for me. labor could go too.
I am in support of killing the first three. As long as the strategic national defense components of DoE are preserved, I support cutting back the non-defense components.
Heres the list of 18 patriots who voted for Pauls budget:
Barrasso (R-WY)
Coburn (R-OK)
Cornyn (R-TX)
Crapo (R-ID)
Cruz (R-TX)
Enzi (R-WY)
Flake (R-AZ)
Inhofe (R-OK)
Johnson (R-WI)
Lee (R-UT)
McConnell (R-KY)
Moran (R-KS)
Paul (R-KY)
Risch (R-ID)
Scott (R-SC)
Sessions (R-AL)
Shelby (R-AL)
Vitter (R-LA)
Both of my guys voted in favor. Hey, it's something. BTT.
We need to build on those votes. Keep at it.
RE: As long as the strategic national defense components of DoE are preserved
Why can't we just close the DoE and move the defense components under the DoD umbrella?
Better still, publish the names of the 27 RINOS that voted with the RATS.
It's a start...
Oh, but wait: These stupid libertarians are worthless! Only the TRUE conservatives deserve support!
Because, you know, look at all those spending cuts fostered by TRUE CONSERVATIVES.
Yes, all THOSE spending cuts! Like Medicare Part D! And a DOD budget of over $600B! On ships made out of steel and aluminum welded together!
In case anyone missed it, this is me being sarcastic.
Sweet Home Alabama covered also!!! :)
Call your senators: Oh never mind Mississippi ping
Excellent. Governmental agencies long ago struck a Faustian bargain, I'm sure, to do the bidding of statists, and their incremental victories over liberty often unrecognized until it's too late. The only way to arrest them now is to lop their serpentine heads off.
William Flax
Exactly what I was going to say.
HOORAY Rand! BIG GOVERNMENT IS CRONY SOCIALISM. "Socialism Is Legal Plunder" - Bastiat
DEFUND socialist collectives, foreign and domestic. DISMANTLE domestic socialist collectives.
live - free - republic
Sounds like a good start.
not single democrat on that list
I like Rand's idea a lot
also eliminate the EPA , FEC ,FCC , OFFCp and IRS
Many, many more need to be eliminated. DHS for one...
There is a lot of national defense infrastructure outside of DoD. You could considate on the one hand. On the other, important programs that support strategic defense or intel gathering capabilities, if consolidated, could be lost in budget battles to tactical types who only think in numbers of tanks or fighter jets. Keeping them separate preserves them from infighting, but does not reduce their important roles. Other examples include NGA, CIA, other and three letter organizations that dont like to be lumped in together both for the reasons stated and others.
It replenishes $126 billion to the Defense Department stripped in sequestration and puts an annual cap on foreign aid at $5 billion. The plan also repeals ObamaCare and Dodd Frank.
Excellent, the Defense Department is the one thing the federal government really should be devoting significant resources towards.
Pauls budget kills four government agencies: the departments of Commerce, Education, Housing and Urban Development, and Energy. It also privatizes the Transportation Security Administration.
That list tells you what states to live in.
Notice 2 from most. Although WY, KY & KS would be too cold for me. OK gets pretty cold too. But TX looks better every day.
I wonder if Paul's planned tax revenue includes the costs of future wars, nation building or domestic recessions.
RE: Wonderful!
Unfortunately, anything wonderful does not pass the Senate. This budget went down to defeat 81-18.
RE: also eliminate the EPA , FEC ,FCC , OFFCp and IRS
What do you propose to replace the IRS with?
He failed, but now the dialogue can begin. Let the socialists and their presstitutes defend these three agencies. It was wise to put the money back into defense, but he could instead break it out as grants back to the states to spend as they please. Then it might have passed.
Ooh, sounds devastating.
Now that Paul admitted on FNS that he is for giving illegals path to voting and claims they are 'natural conservatives' who he never met one who wanted a handout, we can forget about this.
His new Dreamer voters want all these things and more, they want Obama-care now
AZ is fine, and plenty warm. Mentally Ill McCain wasn't going to support anything Rand Paul did, anyway, but his days are numbered and his state is much more conservative than he is. No danger yet that AZ is going to go the way of CO.
Yes, but it's a start.
It's especially wonderful because it sounds like the kind of budget that will satisfy almost ALL the grass roots. It returns some money to defense which many conservatives (including myself) believe should be funded at a high level, slashes a bunch of worthless departments that most people won't miss, and moves to balance the budget in a reasonably short time frame (5 years), and includes tax cuts too.
This is the kind of "big idea" that we need to change the dynamic and capture the public's attention.
Its a start...
Sorry, it's kabuki. McConnell has obviously made a deal with Reid to allow some meaningless red meat votes to mollify the GOP base. The question is, what did McConnell give up to get these votes?
We need vigorous debate and credible opposition to the Dems. Until we get that, everyone inside the beltway not named Ted Cruz is part of the problem.
yeah and?
"Better still, publish the names of the 27 RINOS that voted with the RATS."
nice thought...since it wasnt going anywhere anyhow, shouldve at least tripled the gutting of whole depts...
RIP - the sooner the better.
Ease up there, Partner. Don't get hornswaggled by one of them RINO's slinkin' up fer another term.
Thad is a joke
Sounds like a good start.
Where are all those FReepers with questions about if Rand was weak on Defense?
"It replenishes $126 billion to the Defense Department stripped in sequestration..."
There's part of the answer.
NASA, FAA, and the FCC can go too. Not in Art 1 Sec 8 and their jobs could better be performed by a private consortium like the IEEE.
All hat no cattle
A good start....
Hey, it's a start!!

"It is an interesting and somewhat macabre parlor game to play at a large gathering of one's acquaintances: to speculate who in a showdown would go Nazi. By now, I think I know. I have gone through the experience many times—in Germany, in Austria, and in France. I have come to know the types: the born Nazis, the Nazis whom democracy itself has created, the certain-to-be fellow-travelers. And I also know those who never, under any conceivable circumstances, would become Nazis."
