I don't want to vote for their crappy names, I want to submit a name for consideration. Obama is my selection. He floats through space, has been lost for a seriously long period of time, is small in comparison to the rest of the world's leaders, and he has no apparent purpose outside of his own interest. Those characteristics seem to me to fit a drifting planet to a "T."

There's always a chance Trump is having HIS period....

Not the case at the DQ on Jefferson Rd in Rochester; if I reach for the Blizzard on the service shelf, a DQ employee races over to snatch it away and turn it upside down before I can have it. I've come lately to the whole Blizzard thing, so I'm not familiar w/ the "original" recipe. Five Guys for burgers and fries topped off by a Blizzard from the DQ next door is a massive caloric whoppin'.

No way! POTUS wouldn't permit any Dem to oppose his wants/needs at any time for any reason. His seven year track record has firmly entrenched the my-way-or-the-highway approach to domestic and foreign affairs. He was annointed by the electorate and, by God, he'll have what he wants or throw the mother of all tantrums. Oh, and by the time the need for the sixty-seven votes surfaces, the votes will be there. Discussion of both the public and "private" components of the proposed "deal" will raise a stink of heroic proportions (plus Iran will continue to insult the US on a daily basis thus pissing off lots of folks). A number of other Senators will see the re-election light as has Schumer.

No! Make it a DQ Blizzard or nothing. The McFlurry is but a pale imitation of the regal Blizzard!

Just how quickly will POTUS and SecSt Kerry gift wrap the North Pole and deliver it to Russia? They are in such a giving mood, it's inconceivable that they'd do anything but do the Make-A-Wish thinggy happen in this case.

A) You were wearing a white sheet and matching hood as you typed this; B) You have posted the ultimate troll comment; C) You are one sick puppy; or D) All of the above.

Only in the land of fruit and nuts.

So, after someone reads information, and forms an opinion based on that information; your position is that their opinion is invalid unless you can be convinced to hold the same point of view? That's a strange way to defend whatever you believe in at present.

Much as I'd try to resist'er, she'd be my transistor sister.

So a transponder becomes a responder when the gender is left to be pondered?

So are the Caitlyn decriers quoted in the OP's link demanding that all transgender folks be registered Dems? Or are all Dems "transgenders"? Suddenly, this whole shifting of physical gears thing has become too complex for me.

If POTUS can't quite get the cork in the pipeline, I've got a suggestion of where he can store it.

Thankfully, Iran decided that the western nations had given away enough, so they concluded the "negotiations" in order to get the treasure trove flowing into their country immediately. The Iranian leaders have every right to insult the US after we proved to be their whipping boys by agreeing to the provisions of the "deal." Iran approached the process much the same as shopping in a store that held only much sought after items; and, man, did they score big time. When the shopping cart was overflowing, they went home sated. http://www.usnews.com/news/the-report/articles/2015/07/27/the-real-problems-with-the-iran-nuclear-deal May the US never experience another POTUS as shortsighted as the current occupant of 1600 PA Avenue.

Never have so few agreed to so much that screwed so many. Sail On, Oh Ship of State.

Once y'all sort the above appointments, posts and positions may I be the Commissioner of the IRS? I want to juggle the ACA, taxes and stuff. Just about the time the Iran deal begins to stink, POTUS will assign its administration to the IRS since that appears to be the agency where unsolvable problems land. I've got lots of free time since I retired; and as a former Superintendent of Schools I can talk for hours w/o making a commitment, nor responding to a question.

"Dems worry that if they support Iran deal and Iran cheats, they'll end up looking bad:" Let's just make that "when" not "if" 'cause they will end up supporting it and Iran will cheat.

I wonder whether the long term impact on a woman is greater when she chooses to have an abortion, or when she gives up her child to unknown caregivers. I understand the impact varies with the circumstances of the woman involved, but either choice is potentially damning over time.

So POTUS told the nation in yesterday's press conference that the proposed agreement was focused solely on Iran's nuclear capabilities, and that there was no expectation, nor requirement, that Iran would change behaviors in any other areas. Therefore, since Iran has broken multiple agreements regionally and internationally, why does he even begin to think that Iran will comply with this one? On the other hand, Iran will probably keep up appearances long enough to receive the frozen assets and other goodies from the other signatories so as to set up funding for even more terrorist activities aimed at those very same signatories. Well, did we really expect a community organizer from Chicago to benefit from on the job training to the extent that he'd even begin to understand foreign affairs? Did we expect him to sell us down the river in such a complete fashion? Sail On, Oh Ship of State.

So are Teheran and Washington, DC now sister cities?

One aspect of the prospective agreement states that if the nuclear energy inspectors wish to examine a site they must ask Iran's permission. If Iran refuses, a committee will be formed and the matter taken under consideration. Aretha Franklin said it best, "Who's zoomin' who?"

Is there ANY provision of the proposed agreement that does not favor Iran over the other signatories? If you know of one (or more) please list them in a post in this thread. Additionally, if you truly believe Iran will "honor" any aspect of the proposed agreement, note it in your post.

POTUS continuing to "negotiate" with Iran makes as much sense as driving your wife to her boyfriend's house and waiting outside until they're finished. It appears that Iran's leaders have tumbled to what many of us knew all along: POTUS has no common sense and will pound his head into a wall rather than make a strategic decision and show some backbone. What a maroon!

Thank you so much, JTSP, for sharing your all-knowingness with those of us who make up the great unwashed. Please share with us any (and all) other segments of society's transgressions that you deem necessary for us to understand. After all, you represent yourself as the fount of all knowledge while we ignorant cowards merely wander in the desert of ignorance seeking your level of enlightenment. I'll spend the weekend reexamining my seventy-five years of experiences in an attempt to realign them with your incisive point of view....and laughing my ass off at your smug post.

There is a bill in the CA legislature that, if passed, would prohibit naming schools after important figures in the Civil War (aka the War of Northern Aggression), e.g., Robert E. Lee. (U. S. Grant would probably be OK.) Seems to me that is well beyond even the most extreme of the PC objectives of our day. If the proposal becomes law, it might be cost effective to assign schools several names and, as the current name goes out of favor, the custodian could just reprogram the computer to show the now-in-favor name on the school's facade. Aaarggghhhhhhh!
