Call congress.. tell them not to raise taxes on dividends

I count on that 92 cents that State Farm sends us every year, and the $18.26 from Metropolitan Life.

How will our family survive if taxes are raised for dividends..

I'm losing sleep over it, I tell ya,,

Do you have to prove citizenship to get a gun license in Texas?

If a gun license is acceptable ID for voting, and the new rules are set to make sure than only citizens vote, how does a gun license prove anything except that you can afford a gun?

I saw a reference to passport photos, but did not see anything that proves citizenship as a requirement.

Prove it !

Remember how Pres. Obama was HOUNDED day and night just to make him PROVE he was born in Hawaii, even though all evidence already proved it?

Mittens supposedly gave McCain TWENTY-THREE years of tax forms when he was grovelling to be vice president. That was only 5 years ago, so those copies EXIST.

Show US those forms, Mittens.

He claims to have NOT "profited" from having all those foreign accounts, so PROVE IT.

We already know he's wildly rich..He brags about it. We won;t learn much about his wealth, but we might learn HOW he got that way.

Were there too many red-flags for McCain?

There are copies "out there" that stretch back to 1985 (ish), and those years are the very ones we deserve to know about.

Did you know that Gov Rick Scott (FL) died?

At least he was dead until he tried to vote & then he was resurrected.

So much for their fantastic "list"..

(CNN) – Florida Gov. Rick Scott is not dead. But according to one elections official in Naples he died in 2006.

That’s the story the Republican governor told the Miami Herald Thursday, explaining how he attempted to cast an early ballot and was told the unsettling news.


“I went in, I was doing early voting, so I went in to the office in Naples, in the city hall where they were doing early voting, and they said, ‘You can’t vote because you’re dead.’ They didn’t say you couldn’t vote, they said, ‘You’re dead. You’re passed away,’” Scott said.

The officials, after seeing Scott’s ID, allowed him to cast a provisional ballot, and the next time he went to vote he appeared to re-join the ranks of the living.

Interesting facts about derechos

ABOUT DERECHOS

INTRODUCTION

Definition of a derecho
A derecho (pronounced similar to "deh-REY-cho" in English, or pronounced phonetically as "&quot is a widespread, long-lived wind storm that is associated with a band of rapidly moving showers or thunderstorms. Although a derecho can produce destruction similar to that of tornadoes, the damage typically is directed in one direction along a relatively straight swath. As a result, the term "straight-line wind damage" sometimes is used to describe derecho damage. By definition, if the wind damage swath extends more than 240 miles (about 400 kilometers) and includes wind gusts of at least 58 mph (93 km/h) or greater along most of its length, then the event may be classified as a derecho.

Origin of the term "derecho"
The word "derecho" was coined by Dr. Gustavus Hinrichs, a physics professor at the University of Iowa, in a paper published in the American Meteorological Journal in 1888. A defining excerpt from the paper can be seen in this figure showing a derecho crossing Iowa on July 31, 1877. Hinrichs chose this terminology for thunderstorm-induced straight-line winds as an analog to the word tornado.

BREAKING: Mitt lost an event at the Romney Olympics (photo of contestant who beat him)

Mittens' nail pounding skills were not good enough.
Mittens refused to give him the gold medal.. He did get a souvenir though...

Romney & Crew has come up with a new & clever defense

"Yer-honor...I was not stalking <insert name here> , following them around spying on them, and then trash talking them to people after they left"..

I was just "bracketing".

Romneys do not take "vacations".

The word "vacation" implies that it's a respite from WORK

They do not WORK..

Their money comes from decades of bilking other people.

Their "vacations" are just plain ole travel.. first class/private plane , but still just travel.

They roam from mansion to mansion, and of course the occasional Olympics to watch Anne's pet horsie dance,,(who knew that MS treatments included watching expensive horses dance?)

They make money..they do not work
they travel..they do not vacation

Someone who busts their ass working at a job they loathe, kissing asses day in and out, and who manage to scrape together a few bucks to roadtrip it to a Budget 8 somewhere for a few days.. they vacation
