The bailouts didn't solve the home mortgage crisis. The bailouts postponed the inevitable collapse of a system that seeks to sever risk and responsibility from economic decisions.

The intent of the bill is to destroy health insurance companies. Welcome to the unemployment line!

He should serve the same sentence he handed out to the David family--a LIFE sentence.

What a payoff! Has anyone analyzed the cost/benefit of this guy? Was he really worth over four times the annual combined salaries of the entire City Council?

State-initiated "economic development" is a misnomer. We are losing another congressional seat next year because our state has become a economic backwater--exporting both our jobs and our young people for the last 2 generations. Gambling hasn't helped. Get a clue!

This article is lacking a lot of key facts. Check out the following for a more complete picture. The costs are a lot less than implied by this article and some UI buildings have had electronic entry for 2 decades. http://www.dailyiowan.com/2010/02/23/Metro/15790.... http://www.press-citizen.com/article/20100304/NEW...

FEMA (and the Department of Homeland Security of which it is a part) is funded by federal tax dollars. Every American has a right to comment about your Johnson County bridge which is receiving federal funds.

KCRG : Teacher Defends Actions About Wiccan Altar | KCRG-TV9 | Cedar Rapids, Iowa News, Sports, and Weather

This report is incorrect. That is not what happened. The teacher prevented a Christian student from making religious objects and then acted consistently and prevented a Wiccan student from making religious objects. FURTHER, he has not stated that his decision was related to his finding Wiccan practices offensive, BUT RATHER that he was trying to separate school work from religion. The real question is why KCRG is making an incorrect report.

"Fair compensation" will eventually be defined as fees so high that small radio stations will go out of business leaving only the large broadcasting groups in charge of the airways.

The SELF-SERVING grandstanding that ALL politicians do is the direct opposite of the SELF-SACRIFICING service of our military men and women. God Bless those who SERVE OTHERS.
