Was the last election a mandate about jobs or spending cuts? What's more important to this country? Added bonus question: When will the Republican-controlled House introduce a job-creation bill? And not fluff like THIS?The House Judiciary Committee will consider a resolution Thursday to reaffirm “In God We Trust” as the national motto.
Rep. Randy Forbes (R-Va.) sponsored the resolution, which also encourages displaying the phrase in public buildings, schools, and other government institutions. |

Facts are the center. We don’t pretend that certain facts are in dispute to give the appearance of fairness to people who don’t believe them. Balance is irrelevant to me. It doesn’t have anything to do with truth, logic or reality. ~Charlie Skinner (the Newsroom)

Just think of all the jobs healthcare reform will create... Hell, with baby boomers aging, it'll take hundreds of thousands just to staff the death squads! |

One guy to turn on the colored lights, another guy to start the classical music, another guy to start the video of nature scenes, another guy mixing the poison... And of course the teamsters get the trucking jobs carrying the dead bodies. |

Where's the jobs, Florida edition!TALLAHASSEE — In a year where lawmakers promised to focus on jobs, jobs, jobs, the Republican-led Florida House spent more than seven hours Tuesday talking about abortion, guns, gambling and religion.
"It's God, guns and freedom day," Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Destin, said last week in anticipation.
The House spent most of the day on six bills that limit access to abortions, two that help gun owners and one that would allow taxpayer funding of religious organizations.
Another five hours of debate and votes on the abortion and religious organization bills is scheduled for today.
"We should be focused on the jobs we all were sent here for — to create jobs, and to pass a budget," said Rep. Scott Randolph, D-Orlando, after a news conference challenging the abortion bills. "Yet, for whatever reason, that's not what we're doing."
More than a dozen of the chamber's 39 Democrats raised the jobs issue during floor discussion of HB 1397, an abortion bill sponsored by Rep. Rachel Burgin, R-Riverview. Among other things, the measure would expand the state's prohibition on third-trimester abortions to include a ban once the fetus is viable. It also would require ethics training for physicians who perform the procedure and that abortion clinics be owned by doctors.
Hand on her hip, Burgin fired back at Rep. Rick Kriseman, D-St. Petersburg, who questioned what her bill does to advance job creation.
The House spent a significant amount of time last week on legislation to fight pill mills, which also is not a job creator, she said.

Big surprise but that is sooo what my doc is. He only works from 8a to 12p with Friday's off. I know one friend who took him a list of what she wanted and he gave it all to her. I had to remind him that I need blood work once a year to watch my thyroid level. I don't have ins and at first the visits were only 54. Now they're 94.00.
I used to have over the roof hdl/cholesterol levels and then I started taking a statin that finally brought it down to perfect but I also cut out red meat and fried foods. My dad had a heart attack when he was younger than I am now and had the open heart surgery when it was new back in '74. They thought they were only buying him about 10 years but he made it till 1997.
I was going on the belief that heart disease is hereditary at least in part but with my better eating habits I could probably eliminate the cholesterol thing. His mother lived till 2001 and she was 101. She on the other hand, drank whole milk, ate red meat all her life and never gave any thought to any dietary concern and never had an operation of any kind. Men in perfect shape frequently die from running because it's too hard on the heart. So it seems like no matter how you slice it, it's still a bit of a crap shoot.

I've been reading some negative stuff about them and that's part of the concern. Are you referencing a tv show or blowing chunks? |
