They then changed that to the gun was within "lundging" distance, while he was holding the baby - the officer felt threatened and shot him in the BACK of the head. Sorry, this officer is a cowboy, needs to be retired.

In fact, we utilize what's called "flood irrigation" here in my area. Our lots get flooded at least 1x/month depending on season, up to 2x/month in the summer! Our house, as well as those in the neighborhood are build at least to accomadate this, so the chances of an actual flooding of my house it impossible! Don't get me wrong, I'm not against flood insurance, it just seems that FEMA sets the "boundries" as well as the premiums. The "formula" for these premiums doesn't seem like it has anything to do with risk, more like how much you can afford based on the area you live!

Maybe about the same as the savings they'll glean from sticking it to management.

I live in the desert of Arizona, yet FEMA says I'm in a 100 year flood plain, and I have to pay over $1,000/year to insure my home against floods!

For me, watching her repeatedly grinding her hips & spreading her legs, was pathetic. Maybe when she was in her 20's, but I guess at 53 the joints just can't make those "sexy" movements anymore.

Now if they had tried to shut down, let's say, a Cabela's, they would have had their arses handed to them in the parking lot!

This is nothing more than money laundering for campaign funding, and it appears that both sides are guilty of doing it.

Having been in the insurance business for over 24 years, I've watched the developement of LTC plans by the industry since the 1st plan offered by John Hancock. In the late 90's many, many companies jumped into the LTC business, 5 years later 75% of them jumped back out when the realized they couldn't manage the risk. It's taken 20+ years to accumulate accurate actuarial information that allows carriers to manage the risk of benefits vs premiums. The costs are huge, and for the government to believe that they could take this on, let alone manage correctly, shows me that they had no idea of what they were getting into.

They'll come up with some rationalization for these losses, however the writing is on the wall for all to see!

Democrats have no shame, their wives/husbands will bend as much as they need to as they look to "move on" and ask people to forgive them. Just another example of the "Clinton Legacy"!

Here in the SW, unless you go there at 2am, the store is flooded with exceptionally large "families" that seem to love shopping all together. Ever try to buy a DVD when there's 3 generations, I've counted as many as 17 (kids/parents/grandparents), crowded in an isle? Not a very comfortable place to shop.

What's left over goes to pay for the services they are charged with providing in the first place, and there's less & less of those $'s available.

Oh, just be patient. When Obamacare fully comes to pass, many American Dr's are going to opt out, there will be plenty of opportunity for those like Maria. Now I get it!

They claimed to be working for their "constitiuents" during the time they were in Ill. If a private citizen did this, they'd have to pay tax to that state for the income they made while they were there "working". Well, that ain't happening either. It's just shameful that conservatives would use these same tactics to get through an agenda that a majority of the state voted for this in the last election! <sarc> Sat, 26 Mar 2011 06:22:00 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9M6N4MO1&show_article=1#IDComment137652317 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.84de64f53056a1f39f20b367fa1d8fa8.201&show_article=1#IDComment135967829 Just goes to show how weak many American kids have become. Easy to make video's online, but don't seem able to handle the "flack" when it bites them in the ass. If she had any backbone, she would stay put in that school, bury her head in studies & ignore the taunts/threats.

I'd also like to be reminded why public employees enjoy this job security, wasn't there supposed to be a trade-off?
