DADT

Having the legislative branch determining a policy of our military is just plain stupid, let the military make the decisions.

The out rage by the christian right is just about as stupid.

I don't really care if homosexuals are in the military or not.

I was only in the US Army for 3 years and it was along time ago. But we always policed ourselves. If anyone in your squad or platoon got out of line, for what ever reason, it got taken care of internally. So I believe that 'they' can serve alongside straight people with no problems. So everyone STFU!!!!!!

Estate Tax

I understand taxes, you earn wages, taxes are due, you earn interest, taxes are due, you get dividends, taxes are due. I understand the concept.

You die and you have to pay taxes, that's dumb and it sucks. You typically have already paid taxes on what you have, why is it taxed again? Just stupid!

Bush Tax Cuts Compromise

This whole discussion is just bullshit. One of the provisions has been described as 'temporary 2% payroll tax cut' or 'temporary 2% cut in FICA withholding'.

This is a temporary 2% cut in your social security contribution!!!! WTF, what program doesn't need a reduction of inflows more than Social Security?

Why aren't the headlines "2% cut in your contribution to social security"? In general the public would be outraged.

I am on Social Security and I have no problem with not getting a one time $250 check which the Republicans opposed, BUT if there is a temporary reduction in SS contributions, I change my opinion.

Bowl Championship Series (BCS)

What a crock of shit!!!! These teams that are champs of 'BCS' conferences getting automatic bids to a BCS bowl game is criminal stupidity.

ACC champ Virginia Tech lost to James Madison. They will paly in the Orange Bowl.

Big East Champ UConn lost to Temple, Rutgers and Louisville. They will play in the Fiesta Bowl and probably be 20+ point underdogs.

Something has to be done about this and I don't want Congress getting involved.

UPDATE: The results of an FCS playoff game involving Appalachian State and Western Illinois had not been included in the data based used to generate the ratings. In the revised standings, Boise State moves from 11th to 10th and LSU drops from 10th to 11th.

This just proves my point. BSC needs to be blown up!!!

Chase Bank and PC

A Chase bank in Texas was told by corporate to remove a Christmas tree because it offended some people. WTF

Everyone go to your bank and if they don't have a Christmas tree tell them you are offended!

West Chester University (WCU)

WCU has two organizations (among others), one is the 'Black Student Union' and the other called 'Black Men United'.

So a group wants to start a White Student Union and its called racist.

WTF are we teaching our kids!!
