Lexington, MA birthplace of the American Revolution.

How ironic that some idiots want to ban semi-automatic and automatic "weapons" that are able to hold "ammunition clips" with more than 10 rounds.

It's amazing that these people are able to find their plate with their fork.

Congress never fixed the problem that caused the crash in the first place, and the Obaminator did little to spur them on.  They're all owner by Wall Street anyway. It'll happen again. I think the current jitters are in response to China, though.

Henning?  Is that you Henning?

Jeez...there's a better solution to this than arguing the same thing over and over...

Just like Obamacare; take the worst parts of other options and mash them together.

unlike Obamacare, that aircraft actually serves a valuable purpose and isn't paid for with OPM.

anyone else notice that POA is unreachable?

I had tried earlier this morning and again just a few minutes ago.

'Tis a fact of life, faith in God.  Lots of good, competent people have it.  Doesn't make me uncomfortable.  Liars make me uncomfortable, though.  Don't think Rubio is lying.

It's not his faith that bothers me, nor makes me uncomfortable.

It's his putting it forth as a reason to elect him. Making an ad that does not go beyond touting his faith as a reason to elect him.

I recall John F. Kennedy was a Catholic as well. Maybe it's the times that have changed, but I don't remember ads from him about accepting Jesus Christ as his savior.

Just distasteful pandering, if you ask me.

And disappointing.

iirc, at that time, not a lot of Catholics were being elected President.

the whole "discretionary"/"Non-discretionary" thing is complete male cow feces.

Where in the Constitution is the distinction between discretionary and non-discretionary?  The spineless cowards in congress are just hiding behind something they could change by simple majority.

And another thing...
why can't two motorcycles share a parking space rather than taking up two spaces.  I'm talking about when the two riders are together.

Everytime I leave the bike in a parking space, I'm concerned that some inattentive driver won't notice the bike and zip into the parking space.  So, one approach is to leave the bike just barely in the space, rather than parking as far forward as possible, trying to make it as obvious as possible that the space isn't empty. 

But I understand the frustration.  When I first started riding, at work we ended up using two parking spaces for 5, even 6 motorcycles.  It was kind of an unwritten rule that those two spaces would be used for motorcycles and we wouldn't hog (no pun) other spaces.

As an aside, I'm on a couple of "skeptic's" forums*. They tend to lean liberal/left for whatever reason.

The hate and vitriol coming out on this issue is kind of depressing to me. I do not back the occupiers in any way, but comments about having them come out in body bags, even if in jest, is in terribly poor taste.
