Do you have anything to support THAT accusation?

I know a couple of them personally (tea baggers), and I debate with them when I get the chance. Most of them share a love guns and a bitter hatred of Obama, which is more than just ideological.

Look, this is not going to work.

You claimed that on the Tea Party, "across America", are a "bunch of lunatics who will physically assault anyone who do not agree with their positions"

After we are done, we can change the subject and discuss that "bitter hatred of Obama" you mentioned.

But before we do, - please, give me examples to support your first statement.

Yeah, come on guys. Making fun of people who are too stupid to know that you are making fun of them, whether its Chris Christie or BorisP or teacher, just isn't as enjoyable as making fun of people with the capacity to understand that they are being ridiculed.

I know why educators insist that the only way to improve education for the children is to increase the funding. What I do not know is why we, the CUSTOMERS of the system, believe them.

All the experience tells us, - it is not the case. The funding has been growing for a long time, - and education levels never matched that growth.

So, adding more money is not an "investment" like some people call it, - for an "investment" implies some "return". It is just a gift. IF our goal is to better lives of the educators - by all means, we should go on.

If our goal is to get better education for our children, than we should take a look at the experiments that DID WORK from THAT point of view.

Here: Stossel Show - Education!

P.S. Of course, if party loyalty is more important, we should dismiss anything that comes from the damn FOX channel, and just support the unions.

What I am going to ask now, is - in this spirit of logical rationality, - would you care to provide some convincing factual examples to support your accusations about the Tea Party?

That is, - I understand you are against their politics, which is fine. But you also accused them of being "just as crazy" as people who threaten physical violence.

Do you have anything to support THAT accusation?

Back to Christie's vacation, I hope he and his family aren't going to the beach because someone might stick a harpoon in him.

I am puzzled.

They told me that it were Republicans who draw targets on the map with their political opponents and that those targets symbolize rifle cross-hairs and that this is trade mark right-wing violent rhetoric, - while the lefties yearn, YEARN for the new, civilized tone of discussion.

So... they lied, huh?

Hi... its Friday night at 9:28.

Something happened earlier tonight.

All of a sudden, I lost like all of my good channels. And now I am going from channel 63 to 101.

I tried doing customer service online but got stuck in an internet BOT loop asking a billion questions.

Finally called and was told "Service Disruption".

MY ASS. Comcast has been sending me mail to "upgrade" and get all new boxes lately.

Are YOU having issues with disappearing channels on Comcast?

If this is not resolved I am going to just cancel and get the free digital channels on the Air.

Plus... sorry, what is left is like half Spanish and Chinese. Hello... English only... Learn the language folks. If comcast wants to cut channels... Cut things regular folks can't understand.

Thanks.

We should have roving bands of police going from house to house, too, looking for code violations, pot smoking, illegal bee keeping, obscene barbecuing... Think of all the tickets and money the city would get if cops could just walk into your house and write you tickets for your infractions! What a wonderful world it would be!

The journal reports on most of the crime in our city, but always leaves an important part out of their suspects description.

RACE!!

People are getting mugged and attacked. How are we supposed to know who to look out for based on a clothing description?

Since when is it wrong to say "dark skinned male" or pale white male. Skin color exists and race is used to identify suspects. The journal needs to start servicing law abiding citizens and stop helping the criminal element hide behind a "late teens male. Black baseball cap hooded sweatshirt and jeans description"

I disagree with you. Reagan did his ducking damndest to screw things up and he did a pretty good job. But GWB did a pretty bad job.
