This is just another step towards US citizens becoming targets and persona non grata in yet another foreign country. Not as if we were being welcomed in the region with open arms as it was. I don't, in any way condone the actions of the Pakistani government­, but the fact is that on paper they told US officials Bin Laden wasn't in...

John Boehner Debt Ceiling Bill Faces House Vote

I'm sorry, I stopped reading after he said that "we should all be fired if we go beyond August 2nd"... music to my ears. That is the smartest thing anyone has said in 3 months. Most of the newbie republican­s are a famous democratic opponent away from being axed anyway. Thank you John Boehner, your a super-geni­us.

John Boehner Debt Ceiling Bill Faces House Vote

WASHINGTON (AP) -- House Republicans are pressing ahead with a vote on a newly modified plan to stave off an unprecedented government default next week even though the legislation faces a White House veto threat and unanimous opposition among Senate Democrats. (SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATES) As the House prepared to vote Thursday, investor worries that a dysfunctional Congress might remain gridlocked sent stocks plunging...

Bachmann's Iowa Roots?

Say what you want about the people of Iowa, but it is a hard state. It's full of down home, salt of the earth folks. I bet no one from MN even knew Bachmann was even from Iowa until someone told her she could be president.­.. I am sure that she will have a little anecdote for every state with a major primary. She has truly set women politician­s, republican­s and the tea-party in general back about 15-20 years.

Michele Bachmann's Iowa Roots Unlikely To Offer Boost In Caucus

WASHINGTON -- When Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) announced her candidacy for president in her birthplace of Waterloo, Iowa, she played up her connection to the small city, using the words Iowa, Iowans or Waterloo more than two dozen times. She had also stressed her Iowa roots months before, during a speech in Des Moines, Iowa. But while Bachmann's quest to be seen as a native of the Hawkeye State has been a topic ...

Bob Dylan's Grandson, Pablo, Is A 15-Year-Old Rapper

Sorry Bob... your grandson ain't even as Hip-Hop as you are... Sounds like the same old watered down audio-tune rap that everyone is putting out... Nothing you would expect from a Dylan. I guess Jay-Z remains the "Bob Dylan of rap"...

Bob Dylan's Grandson, Pablo, Is A 15-Year-Old Rapper

At only 15 years old, young Pablo Dylan is trying his hand at the music business. In an interview with AllHipHop.com, the grandson of Bob Dylan talked having a grandfather who he considers "the Jay-Z of his time," and his new mixtape, 10 Minutes. In this track, "Top of the World," Pablo references Bob, well aware of the double-edged sword being the grandson of a legend is. However, he seems confident in his abilitie...

Debt Ceiling Talks Collapse (LATEST UPDATES)

Precariously short of time, congressional leaders struggled in urgent, weekend-long talks to avert an unprecedented government default, desperate to show enough progress to head off a plunge in stock prices when Asian markets open ahead of the U.S. workweek.

American Man

I sent my 12 year old and her 10 year old friend to see this movie... $30 dollars and 2 sets of 3D glasses later they can't even describe it to me. In fact, they called it "American Man"...

Atlanta Public Schools See About 30 More Resignations And Retirements

If the school districts continue to focus on "testing" rather than making sure that our children are actually being educated we will continue to have teachers who cheat that system. Where are the life lessons learned via studying history or art or mathematic­al equations? The real education of our youth will not be determined in their ability to take a test as an adult, it will be found in and demonstrat­ed through their ability to access experience­s from the past to navigate the future.

M.I.A. Releases '27,' In Honor Of Amy Winehouse, Those Who Died At 27

     http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/24/mia-releases-27_n_907967.html


Dear Media -

 Before we continue to compare Ms. Winehouse with the likes of Hendrix, Cobain, Joplin, Basquiat, etc etc... Please list or note the comparable body of work. You cannot, because it does not exist. "Fade to Black" is no "Nevermind". STOP comparing her to legends. It is sad that the best thing writers have to say about this woman is that she died at age 27, and is now a part of some illustriou­s club. She was good, soulful artist who had the potential to be great, had she been able to overcome her demons. That's it. Period.

Thank you,

That is an irresponsi­ble statement. How does this story reflect her arrogance? Do you think that the First family planted a story about Mrs. Obama wearing a target outfit (again), to distract the feeble minded from the fact the unemployme­nt rate is so high that the only jobs available are in the national guard... and even they have been outsourced overseas..­.

Seriously.­..? Are we still talking about RAISING the debt limit? This is ridiculous­. The is political talk about a possible bill that will be 1000s of pages long, that NO American will ever fully read, that will earmark billions of dollars for programs that 75% of this country will NEVER use. We are trying to raise the debt limit a couple of trillion? Trillion? Why? So that in 10 years they can raise it to a zillion? Come on, son... At what point do we LET IT FAIL? Dance puppets... dance and continue to vote for these idiots.

This is exactly what happens when lawmakers continue to allow imported products. It's common sense. If we import items into this country or export jobs out of it, the reason is that it is cheaper. WHY is it cheaper? The conditions are less, the pay is less, and the benefits are nil. How else does capitalism survive than through the exploitati­on and demoraliza­tion of labor and costs.
