In fairness, the boy's father removed his shirt, not the TSA goons, because the boy was physically resisting TSA agents, in an effort to get through the tyrannical rig-a-ma-roll.  

MIAMI -- All she wanted was $50,000 from the equity in her house to help pay the bills while looking for a job in nursing. What Imogene Hall got was a brutal lesson in the sometimes shady ways of the mortgage industry.

And the more angry it makes me.

Two critically dumb decisions -

1. Last week trying to lateral after recovering his own fumble, instead of just jumping on the ball and covering it up, which resulted in an loss of possession and was run in for a defensive TD.

2. And then this week he rushed for a critical scrambling first down in the last minutes and then did some sort of elephant-seal face-plant spaz-action which resulted in a fumble and loss of possession, instead of the standard QB baseball slide which would not have resulted in a loss of possession following a fumble.

Oh yeah, the Giants could have won both games if not for these mistakes.

Schultz told a caller that the reason the Senate can't pass a decoupled bill on the Bush tax cuts by a reconciliation vote is because they passed the health care bill on reconciliation, and the rules prevent the same congress from doing more than one budget reconciliation bill per session.

Gov. Rick Perry said deploying U.S. soldiers to Mexico should be one option to curb drug cartel violence in border cities, but only if Mexico invites the Americans.

"I think we have to use every aspect of law enforcement that we have, including the military," Perry said during an interview Thursday with MSNBC. "I think you have the same situation as you had in Colombia...."

Luckily the Mexican government has more sense.

Ricardo Alday, a spokesman for the Mexican Embassy in Washington, D.C., said such an invitation would never happen.

"Mexico has reiterated on repeated occasions that the presence of U.S. troops on Mexican soil is not and will not be an option," Alday said in a statement. "It seems that some U.S. politicians insist on electoral campaigning, even as the election ended November 2."

'We hate obese passengers and people with personal hygiene issues:' Now 'abused' TSA staff vent their anger at patdown searches

personally I loved the suggestion of someone I saw on tv who suggested that to protest everyone wear a "kilt" to fly.

Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins are co-signing an amicus, or friend of the court, brief to be submitted to the federal court in Florida that will hear a constitutional challenge of the federal health care reform law.

The brief was initiated by U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and boasts signatures of 30 Senate Republicans. The lawsuit was brought by the attorneys general for several states and the National Federation of Independent Businesses, a small-business trade organization.

At issue is a requirement that U.S. citizens purchase health insurance beginning in 2014 or face a fine -- known as the "individual mandate."

Snowe was the only Republican to support any version of health care reform, but ultimately voted against the final bill. The version Snowe supported did include an individual mandate, but her aides said she opposed that provision and hoped to change it through the amendment process.

Snowe was concerned with the concept of government mandating an individual purchase of something, especially because she did not believe health insurance would be sufficiently affordable, her office has said.

Snowe and Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., tried to amend the reform to reduce the number of people subject to the mandate and allow Congress more flexibility to review the mandate altogether, but it failed in committee.

"The individual mandate has no place in a health care reform bill unless and until affordable health insurance is available for all Americans," Snowe said in a release about the brief.

"We must take seriously the gravity of this imperious and intrusive government mandate and repeal the individual mandate before millions of Americans are forced to purchase health care coverage that they neither want nor can afford."
