Yes Michael....Obama can never admit to being wrong or making a resume a mistake. He ALSO has the inability to give credit to others, like George Bush. He is a small, petty man. He's so insecure that he's always looking to take credit for things to add to his resume. He can never credit George Bush with anything, even though he has continued so many of Bush's policies. He's a pathetic little man who is also COLD as ICE. Don't cross him, or that smile will disappear from his face, as More

Obama knows he will have trouble being re-elected. He's smart goal setting up the next administration to fail with his Afghanistan drawdown, while he's doing nothing about unemployment and laughs at his failings. His family and extended family are jet setting while they have an opportunity, because it will be all over after next year. If the Obama administration thinks it was left with a load from the Bush years, it won't hold a candle to what Obama will foist off on the next administration. More

Taxpayers are already on the hook for a $600 million project health to widen the freeway in this same corridor -- yet that project did not have to pass a 2/3 vote requirement to receive its funding package, $300 million of which has already been lined up. Why not stall the freeway-widening project, and shift those funds over to allow the entire SMART project to be built by 2014? After all, drivers already have the existing freeway, which works just fine and could be made to work better More

James, it is indeed easier to get funding through coercion than persuasion, but it is immoral. The funding for schools comes from people, and people can pay for their own children's education and donate to schools as they see fit. Family value conservatives should welcome a free market in schools, since this gives them the opportunity to select schools that meet their needs. The values of the government are those that favor itself and special needs schools interests, such as unions. More

David, I'm not sure where you're getting your data, but it's spurious at best. Looking at total gross revenue, Federal revenue, interest expense is about 10%. Perhaps you're talking about income tax revenue, which would make more sense. It's as clear as evidence I've ever seen that our Federal income taxes are too low. Perhaps we could model our taxes after the way they do it in Texas: confiscate a portion of everyone's real estate wealth every year, including corporations, plus tax More

It seems sensible to me to leave Tokyo while there is disruption. If you are in a place with fewer resources (including electricity) than would typically be required to support the people there, it seems rational to move to where the resources are plentiful. The concept of loyalty until you die is working against common sense. I think this is a good article to see how the cultural aspects influence what is going on. I do think this is important enough for the front page, as this is More

This article was just looking at the immediate impacts of the supply chain strategy chain. Yes, certain chip manufacturers and other electronics have been affected impacting their customers supply chains. However, one needs to keep following the supply chains. There are a number of ethylene crackers in Japan who have been shut down which impacts the derivative products that ultimately make their way to the products that the world purchases. This article just peels away at part of the More

This study is good science as well as good cost control. Until we learn how to get rid of that plaque (other than by long-term diet, exercise and statin use), knowing that you have plaque in your arteries, as do most people over 50, won't do you any good. In fact, it may do you harm by provoking anxiety that raises C reactive protein, a known cardiovascular risk. If possible, this study should follow its subjects for several additional years, in order to see what develops as science More

I always thought Boost mobile was affiliated with Virgin Mobile. People are afraid of ATT, but the fear seems a little overblown. I have had ATT for about 10 years and have had my share of problems, but I certianly dont think I'm being held hostage by the company. In fact I have been really impressed with some of their services and their constant notifications of data usage. True ATT needed a 4G component, but the most effective communication in the workplace way to get there was through More

@ Lane - do your homework - Look at the structure of State Farm Florida versus State Farm. Then look at the reinsurance rates - and track the flow of monies......and yes I do live in an area with a high propensity for loss - not due to natural disasters but rather due to fraud in business. Within the past 6 months allstate and state farm arrested over 30 of their insurance adjusters for fraud. The problem is that the insurers do not perform due diligence which should be a cost of their More
