Lanoue is coming down on the right side of this. Glad to see him supporting his teachers in this unfair situation.

@MATT31: Have you ever been in a live fire situation?

@jlscott: Oh, now, what did @Mr Lightborn: do to get banned this time?

Whose European program are you citing? German healthcare insurance costs 14.9% of gross salary. The employer picks up 8%. On $60k, that means the worker pays $400 per month. I've never once paid as much as $400/mo. under my employer sponsored health insurance and I've had exceptional coverage.

I think the pictures clearly debunk your statement, but you just go on with your hyperbole. It's funnier for the rest of us that way!

I already did.

[quote][b]mcdawg[/b] - just employ the "ignore" button.[/quote]

No. Last time I checked, you get to have everyone respond to you. If you are so weak-willed, you go ahead and use it.

@mcdawg: How many things are wrong with what you just said? The count is high enough to be embarrassing for you. Suffice it to say that my question was and is apt.

@Mr Lightborn: Why? She's already earning more money than the people who criticize her anonymously on the internet.

[quote][b]mcdawg[/b] - I apologize for the confusion. My intent was to define the terms in a manner that might assist the "undereducated" in overcoming their ignorance[/quote]

Wow! Elitist much?

[quote][b]Chief Weems[/b] -
That is not correct. According to state law, court house security is the responsibility and jurisdiction of the Sheriff. The Sheriff is required to author and implement a security plan and file it with the chief judge of the Superior Court for review. The County Commissioners only part of the process is paying the bill.
See O.C.G.A. 15-16-10 (a)(10)
A county may not create a county police agency unless there is a public referendum to do so. Such a vote can only be held every four years.
See 36-8-1 O.C.G.A.
Even if their were such a vote in a county to create a PD, the courthouse security plan an implementation would still be vested in the Sheriff. Private security can only be utilized if the Sheriff and Chief Judge agree to do so. Again, the Commissioners have no say so in the matter per the state law.

This is what it boils down to from my strictly outside-looking-in perspective: The commissioner in question is completely freaked out because he was doing something he shouldn't have inside that place. He was unaware that the sheriff had this mandate by law. Now, there is concern on his part about who will find out what. This is the picture painted by this p***ing match.

More partisan hackery! Hahahaha! Thank you!

@jlscott: Well, it's no wonder it had to go to work for a music magazine.

@NXS: On which of your lists was GWB actually ranked last? Hysterical!

That, my dear, is what I meant by "that's the best you can do"! You replaced partisan hackery with MORE partisan hackery! You really need to work on that.

[quote][b]gman129[/b] - Brooks is a bonafide loyal obama supporter, just another one that has been caught. The walls of his majesty are crumbling around him caused by the Benghazi muslim terrorist, Hilliary's denial, IRS Scandal, and now the AP First Amendment Scandal. Stay tuned more are predicted to follow.

Sorry, what has that got to do with anything?

@NXS: That's what you've got? Hysterical!

@Man_Of_The_Mountain: Well, that's because the jokes would be over 20 years old now, wouldn't it? You get an F in American popular culture today

@cairopilots: Hey, I was just wondering how you were. I see one of your boys chatting on Facebook with my sister every so often. I hope you're doing fine.

The only person truly exonerated by the release of these 100 documents (let's not yet speak of the thousands not released) is Susan Rice. At least we know this was the information she was given and was following in good faith. http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/obama-administration-releases-e-m...

Who was not really served? The Obama Administration.

CSM refers to their structure and function as Dunder Mifflin (hysterical!) http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/DC-Decoder/Decoder-Wire/2013/0516/Why-Bengh...

It will all be an algorithm shortly anyway.

@Mr Lightborn: There are no true grassroots movements any more.

[quote]But the Occupy Wall Street admission that there was no right to turn a park into a tent city calls into question the true significance of the movement. Instead of calling it Occupy Wall Street, a more accurate term would be Occupy AstroTurf. The political term "AstroTurfing" refers to phony movements that appear to arise from the grass roots. Tobacco companies created the front group National Smokers Alliance to lobby on their behalf. MoveOn.org used automated emails to create the impression that a Michael Moore agitprop film was popular. China employs a huge army of "50 cent" bloggers who get paid for each Beijing-defending post.

Similarly, the Occupy Wall Street idea was launched by a magazine called Adbusters, based in Canada, which over the summer created a hashtag on Twitter called #OccupyWallStreet. This encouraged people to converge on Wall Street for a "leaderless resistance movement." A small group found its way to the half-acre Zuccotti Park, in a largely residential part of the financial district, when barricades blocked them from their top targets of the New York Stock Exchange and J.P. Morgan Chase Plaza. Their own blogs posts at the time expressed surprise that they were allowed to camp out.[/quote]

[quote]Meanwhile, when Holder was asked about his future last month on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, he responded: “I don’t know,” when asked if he would stay the full four years of Obama’s second term. He added, “I’m happy. I’m still enjoying what I’m doing and still want to be done. I’m still the president’s wing man, and I’m here with my boy.”[/quote]

@avenger: Okay, this is pointless. You can have at it.

@avenger: The exact 14th amendment (following and therefore further defining the parameters of the Supremacy Clause) supports everything I have said.

Enjoy.

@avenger: Your question has been answered. You continue to ask new questions because you're embarrassed as you should be.

Your initial premise is wrong and will continue to be so. I will not engage you on a new and even more pointless venture when you already know that you are wrong and you're looking for wiggle room.

You have got to do better.

@Digdug: Are you telling me to give up?
