There's something called competitive cost structure that's hard to get around. Though I make my living as a trader, I'm also an investor in two local restaurants that have been modestly successful for over a decade. I'd like nothing more than to pay the restaurant employees more and buy them...

1) Date = 9/11 2) Attack = US embassy 1 + 2 = terrorist attack. My 11 year old daughter immediately knew it was a terrorist attack. Hard to understand why some adults couldn't do the math.

50.5% voted for Obama 49.5% voted for someone other than Obama

They could have accomplished the same thing by keeping their mouths shut and waited until Rice's confirmation hearing. At that time they could have had read into the record the transcripts of Rice's repeated statements that made it clear that she was unwilling or unable to make the connection...

These deals are always a trade for certain tax increases now in exchange for uncertain spending cuts that may or may not occur in the distant future. Unless there's a way to guarantee the spending cuts will happen, it's just another politicians' lie designed to screw the taxpayers.

Nobody is going to get prosecuted. The bar has been set as low as you can go. It's okay to boink an intern in the White House. Nobody cares.

A gay guy commits suicide because Obama's elected??? You can't be serious. Sounds like SNL -- only they would have made him dislexic, too.

I live in Newport Beach and I'm adjacent to Irvine and Huntington Beach. I know these cities well. The charter is not what creates the problem. The probem is corrupt politicians, union thugs and their crooked money managers. Bad people do bad things.

The problem in California is corrupt politicians, public employee union thugs and their crooked fund managers. They all worked together to suck the town dry. Blaming the legal form of the municipality is like blaming the bank for a bank robbery. The one to blame is the bank robber. Bad people...

As a resident of California I've watched city after city file for bankruptcy. The article below is a fascinating study of just how corrupt our local governments have become. ============================= http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/11/13/us-bernardino-bankrupt-idUSBRE8AC0HP20121113...

From day one it was obvious that Romney had chosen a team of amateurs to run his campaign. It was painful to watch. They were always on defense, getting caught wrong-footed time after time, and incapable of playing offense. I'm surprised Obama only got 50.5% of the vote. I expected him to...

EC-11-FTT depends on whether or not Poland stands its ground or gives in to pressure from Germany/France: “There must be a pragmatic way of letting us see the directive to make sure there are no spillover effects,” Polish Finance Minister Jacek Rostowski said. Also, spoke to a trader...

Their disdain is for democracy. They hate it. The European Commisssion is the most anti-democratic organization since the old Soviet Union. Their agenda is to force the EU countries to continue to surrender more and more power until all of Europe is subjugated to the EU/EC politburo.

The UK, Sweden, etc. would be foolish to approve this plan without knowing if there's FTT extra-territorial reach, especially now that Poland has made its position known. Those opposed to extra-territorial reach can kill EC-11-FTT with Poland's support.

I asked my wife's sister who is a psychiatrist. She said that people who are strongly religious or strongly anti-religious often suffer from some form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and/or Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD). She said that "balanced individuals" who hold...

He'll only serve a few months in prison. Then it's onward and upward for the favorite son of Jesse "Hymietown" Jackson.
