• FBI: Conn. cops behaved like ‘bullies with badges’

  Tue Jan 24, 2012
  • @William B--you hit it out of the park. Since 9/11, many people in this country have used our "security" as an excuse to militarize the police in this country. As you say, the military really is trained and equipped to do one thing--kill people and blow things up.

• Tucson survivor: Giffords 'makes me want to vomit'

  • Typical tea-bagging buffoon. Too bad Loughner wasn't a better shot!

• Carrier Classic under way on board USS Carl Vinson

  Fri Nov 11, 2011
  • No, a Rethuglican would parade around in a flight suit declaring victory when the battle had just begun. What total bafoonary. No wonder this country is in dire straits. Get some new thoughts moron.

• Preparations underway for historic hoops game on board USS Carl Vinson

  Thu Nov 10, 2011
  • Paying for the event? I suppose you are talking about the carrier? Think of the positive publicity this event is giving the Navy. The attendees are supposed to be active and retired military from SoCal. The ship was scheduled to be in port anyways so there is no cost for moving it.

• Sky-high salaries, costly hips boost US health costs

  Thu Sep 8, 2011
  • I knew some right-winger would throw the malpractice red herring in here. Why don't you go down to Texas which has initiated tort reform and see what it has done to health care costs.

• The GOP job-loss plan in action

  Fri Aug 5, 2011
  • You take the 30% cut, I've already taken mine. In my position as an higher education educator we are 45th in the country in pay while delivering one of the best community college experiences in the country. We haven't even had cost of living increases in 3 years.

• Democrats, Republicans meet with president separately

  Wed Jul 20, 2011
  • So explain to me and the rest of the sane people who people currently on Medicare will get health care once you destroy it? I have yet to hear about any real solution for this. All you baggers want is more, more, more without paying anything back.

• Democrats, Republicans meet with president separately

  Wed Jul 20, 2011
  • @Jim--you keep talking about living within our means. Why don't you accept the return of taxes to the rates of the 90s then? Oh no, that's right, you really aren't about financial restraint. You are really just a pissed off white guy who can't stand a black man being in the White House.

• Much of Minnesota shuts down over budget impasse

  Fri Jul 1, 2011
  • I keep hearing about all these "Cadillac pensions" from the right? Where are these? The one I am working towards in NC is more like a Yugo plan. Be honest, you are just spewing right wing talking points. Do some research and look at the facts.

• NY Target workers reject move to unionize

  Sat Jun 18, 2011
  • Oh, like they do already? Hiring only part-time workers so they don't pay benefits. I haven't stepped in a Wal-Mart in years and will continue to do so. I'm on the fence about Target since they are the only other retail store in my area since they and WM killed all the small stores.
