Thank you for defending our church. It is way too easy to find Catholic haters out in the world.
Too right about the mediocre. Our rep (Jerry Costello D-Il) is the most mediocre of them all. His opponent called up a Congressman friend of her husband's and he thought Costello was new. J. Costello's been in Congress 22 years! If anyone is a bum in government, that guy is.
I went to see the movie last weekend after going to a Union meeting (I was tricked. I was told it was a candidate's forum.) I was tired and called up my best friend, and couldn't decide between Prince of Persia or the A-team. I told her I wanted a lot of explosions and fun.
So we caught the late show at 10 and I loved it. I was actually surprised that it was after midnight when we left the theater because the two hours had gone by so fast.
I mean, 1. explosions and quick over-the-top action sequences. 2. The characters were spot on. If you thought Murdock was played poorly, you've never seen Murdock. Heck, Copley even /i/sounded/-i/ like Howling Mad. 3. Bradley Cooper topless (I am a healthy adult woman after all).
This movie wasn't made for everyone. It was made for fans of the A-team or of eighties action tv/movies in general. The point was over-the-top fun. And man, did it deliver.
wow, she was so obviously messing with him, it's actually kinda sad. Too bad I feel no pity towards his kind of bloodthirsty jerks.
Thank god for what happened. I have liberal gay friend I've been trying to convert. Now I can easily say that he can have no claims about being unwelcome under our tent. Thank you CPAC attendees.
Nah, she's awesome. I'm writing a three part blog for this class defending Citizen's United v FCC and she seems to be enjoying reading it.
Why? Part of supporting an individualistic society (every individual is important) is that we *don't* blame children for the parent's sins. As much as I hate seeing that bill pass, we have to consider, do we want representatives that represent or not? Because, again as much as I hate to admit it, Massachusetts voters overwhelmingly support this, and as their representative, Brown has a duty to represent their views. The ones that you should be mad at are the Democrats who are deliberately ignoring their constituents. If they did their job, we wouldn't have any reason to be worried when Scott Brown does his.
Besides, no one hires because the government say to. They hire because they need workers. People are getting laid off because there isn't demand for their work. They're not getting hired because there isn't demand for their work. Economics is supply and demand. This bill does nothing, really, to increase demand.
I have to disagree on the too partisan part. Her views echo Ronald Reagan's quite nicely and he carried both an overwhelming majority of the popular votes and 49 states when he was reelected in '84. I will grant that she has little national experience, but our best presidents usually come from outside the beltway. Washington was a military man, as was Eisenhower. Lincoln only made it to state level before running for office. Reagan was a Governor as well. Her years of increasing executive power experience (business owner to School board to mayor to governor) makes her just as qualified as a great majority of presidential candidates and a lot more experienced than our current president.
I had to look Blumenthal up on wikipedia. I didn't realize that he was so well known. But reading what he's done and what he's written, how can anyone take him seriously. I think I'll use this whole fiasco as my case study for my Politics and the Media class. One of me versus 19 of them. Should be fun.
