Tom Blummer, based on those two articles, appears to be just about the worst "journalist" there is in terms of covering this story. Of course, he isn't a journalist...he's a personal finance workshop guy who has a blog on a site dedicated to combating liberal media bias where he apparently opines on international relations in a retarded way...then B-man reads, ingests, and parrots....lol. Ya we should come out and make a public statement about how the Muslim Brotherhood is a bunch of murderous, Islamic jihadists and the military should just persecute, jail, and kill them all now. They should not be allowed to participate in any new government at all and because SEE: LINK TO SOME GUY ON THE STREET...they are all terrorists. Since they are terrorists, we should forget about our supposed position to urge peaceful self governance and we should signal that widespread disenfranchisement of Islamist groups is what we really mean when we say we support democracy in the Arab world! That will help the situation! Hell...at least is would produce more division and violence across the region proving us right for calling out Islamic groups...then we can crack down more! AFter all...history has shown that cracking down on this element is the way to go as opposed to trying to bring them into the fold... Get of the retarded kick you are on with this story B-Man...in all honesty...you couldn't be more retarded. Your Obama glasses have you completely on the fringe. Pure idiocy of the highest order and apparently I'm the only one on the board here to attempt to remind you that you are being stupid.

There should be a mandatory intro class called "The American Economy" or something like that...that helps 17/18 year old kids view what the college has to offer in context. Too many parents, even smart successful parents, will say "do what you want, it doesn't really matter, I was _____ major and now it has little to do with my job and I'm successful, so just study what you love and don't worry about it"....that may have been true once but no longer.

I mean...does sitting the classroom really matter? Pretty sure it is basically just grading and access to the information...being physically in the classroom costs very little.

While I don't care to take a side in this particular debate, I will comment that if you are to accept "trickle down" did not work for 30 years...pointing to a recent period of 4 is not a good response.

http://online.wsj.co...8.html?mod=e2fb As lawmakers in Washington remain at loggerheads over the student-debt crisis, Oregon's legislature is moving ahead with a plan to enable students to attend state schools with no money down. In return, under one proposal, the students would agree to pay into a special fund 3% of their salaries annually for 24 years. The plan, called "Pay it Forward, Pay it Back," would create a fund that students would draw from and eventually pay into—potentially bypassing traditional education lenders and the interest rates they charge. The state would likely borrow for the fund's seed money, which could exceed $9 billion, but the program's designers intend it to become self-sustaining. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Not sure this will work but at least some ideas are being floated. Generally speaking, finding a good fix to this issue is important.

...now watch 2 moderates split votes and Morsi win again...

...annnnddd...Morsi is gone. That whole ordeal was actually incredibly smooth.

dog...Zimmerman is a dumbass who was creeping around and in doing so created a situation where he ended up shooting Trayvon to death....but he will not be convicted b/c he got jacked up and there is no hard evidence refuting his claim to self defense...and it is unlikely no matter how racist you think he is that he had any intent to kill anyone until the **** went down...he's innocent let it go

Tell this to Nike or Apple.

The slim Jim means nothing

By the end of August this topic will be off the first page of PPP.

I would agree...but I also think most of our offense came when we were slinging the rock to overcome that...if we were close in all these games I think the numbers would be way down and don't have any reason to believe the performance at critical times would have been bette.r

Contrary to what some sectors of the population have now convinced themselves...most Americans still expect that something like this is most likely to work towards its intended purpose as opposed to instill tyranny upon the daily lives of regular people. Discussion is healthy though.

The answer is always a weighing of how likely you think it is this will be abused in all the ways anyone can imagine and how likely you think it is to help stop terrorist attacks.

Not sure if his new statement has been posted yet: One week ago I left Hong Kong after it became clear that my freedom and safety were under threat for revealing the truth. My continued liberty has been owed to the efforts of friends new and old, family, and others who I have never met and probably never will. I trusted them with my life and they returned that trust with a faith in me for which I will always be thankful. On Thursday, President Obama declared before the world that he would not permit any diplomatic "wheeling and dealing" over my case. Yet now it is being reported that after promising not to do so, the President ordered his Vice President to pressure the leaders of nations from which I have requested protection to deny my asylum petitions. This kind of deception from a world leader is not justice, and neither is the extralegal penalty of exile. These are the old, bad tools of political aggression. Their purpose is to frighten, not me, but those who would come after me. For decades the United States of America have been one of the strongest defenders of the human right to seek asylum. Sadly, this right, laid out and voted for by the U.S. in Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is now being rejected by the current government of my country. The Obama administration has now adopted the strategy of using citizenship as a weapon. Although I am convicted of nothing, it has unilaterally revoked my passport, leaving me a stateless person. Without any judicial order, the administration now seeks to stop me exercising a basic right. A right that belongs to everybody. The right to seek asylum. In the end the Obama administration is not afraid of whistleblowers like me, Bradley Manning or Thomas Drake. We are stateless, imprisoned, or powerless. No, the Obama administration is afraid of you. It is afraid of an informed, angry public demanding the constitutional government it was promised — and it should be. I am unbowed in my convictions and impressed at the efforts taken by so many. I know but I'm saying there is no evidence of this happening or that it could.

How could they do this though?

Whose fault is it her son looks like this?

The Stratfordite said he “didn’t realize people would take it as offensive,” and he is not a member of any type of group associated with the flag.

Somewhere Bman is waiting for me to throw his name in the mix. He shall wait no more.

You forgot smokers

Until we show we can, and will, HIT a deep threat if left unattended teams will still squat on us. Just having someone out there means nothing.

BTW feel free to explain why with a post. At least one person just lost their house. I gave us 4-6. I think we'll look pretty good at times, but will have a long stretch where we struggle particularly out of the gate. Not sold on QB situation, can't buy into defensive hype until I see it with my own eyes, and the same is true of improved WR (have to see it).

Don't try to put us down or lift us up, control your mind, and vote what you really think. Pretend you put your mortgage on the line.

Or we could all just preach about the disadvantages/realities (whatever you want to call it) of young pregnancy, throw birth control and condoms around like bird feed, not have a problem with morning after pill....and just come to a cease fire at 5 or 6ish weeks on abortion...and reproduce in a way that creates the facade we are intelligent beings who know how to control our habit of spawning new beings? Or we could just argue about legs closed and dick in pants and god and life and generally pretend people are going have less sex and not more in teh future.
