I have no doubt if the "internets" was around in Newton's days he would have recognized an additional law we are all now familiar with. "The longer a thread gets the more irrelevant the discussion becomes."

Enough with the "nail in the coffin" thread fellas, start a new thread. Going through 10 pages of that thread to get to current affairs is enough. Many folks are going to miss the story about the "tan tax".

After a zillion speeches on HC Reform, BHO finally gets his hobby horse.

Then what does he do? What? Burn multiple tons of jet fuel to fly off and give the [Nth + 1] speech on Healthcare Reform? Huh?

Do BHO's handlers believe that it is impossible to become over exposed? Or perhaps BHO so enjoys giving Healthcare Reform speeches that he'll just keep on making them forever?

Illegal alien amnesty will be the next agenda. They of course should vote and get free healthcare-if your agenda is to bankrupt the country this would be the logical next step. After thast comes the "fairness doctrin" legislation- they are tired of hearing from any opposition.

Hi folks:

I received an PM this morning from an Astro-Acquaintance who has been an member of Astromart for about 4 years. She is an older lady who lives in a very rural state and since her husband died, she no longer has any credit cards.

She wants to remain a member of AM and wants to support AM (see recent supporting AM with Paypal thread) but it seems that with the latest updates in policy, in order to remain a member, she apparently needs a credit card.

It seems like there ought to be a solution that would allow a longtime member in good standing has no credit cards to remain a member.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks

Jon

Well, I guess this was predictable, the Republican National Committee reimbursed a staffer for nearly $2,000 worth of expenses at a West Hollywood Bondage-themed stripper club, featuring simulated lesbian acts. Puts a new meaning to "stimulating the economy."

But wait, there's more........

The RNC actually included the expenses on their Federal Elections Commission filing. Just a normal expense for those wild and crazy Republicans. The staffer who O.K.ed the expenses was fired, probably for not putting them under 'Miscellaneous.' I can just imagine what the RNC's books look like...

Paper...........................$85

Pens, Pencils...................$60

Printer ink.....................$95

Bondage/Stripper Club...........$1946

But wait, there's more...

The RNC spent more that $17,000 in February for private planes, limos and bar tabs for rich donors. Just keeping in touch with the common folk(pilots, limo drivers and bartenders).

But wait, there's more......

The Republicans were outed by conservative/libertarian Tucker Carlson, which probably, in the eyes of the Republican establishment, makes him a bleeding heart liberal.

Well, paraphrasing Sarah Palin, "Reload, aim at foot, shoot!"

Or, as Confucius would say, "One can disagree with Republicans, but in the end, they're just so damned entertaining!"
