• The Tense Exchange Between Rep. Trey Gowdy and the Former IRS Head You’ve Been Waiting for…and It Doesn’t Disappoint

  May 22, 2013 at 2:34pm

  I don’t get why Issa isn’t having his feet held to the fire for letting Lerner walk. Issa is a lawyer, so he should know that someone can’t appear before a Congressional committee, give their side of the story, and then clam up. This is no different than a criminal defendant testifying on their own behalf and then pleading the fifth. You can’t do that.

• Dashcam Vid Shows Hollywood Actress’ Odd Behavior During Arrest Debacle: Fakes Pregnancy, Asks ‘I’m Being Anti-American?’

  That’s pretty much how I feel too.

  One more thing — she looks better as a blonde.

• Feds Pushing Proposal to Penalize Companies for Refusing to Wiretap

  In reply to YesLiberalsAreThatDumb.

  The Feds can’t get access to your financial records without a warrant either, but decades ago they just changed the law to require banks to keep a record of all your transactions. Now the Feds can exam your financial records without a problem — they are looking at bank records not your records. The Feds even require banks to notify the government on all transactions over $10,000, and on series of transactions over $10,000. What website you visited is small potatoes compared to this.

  Very well said.

• Woman Faces Prison Sentence for ‘Animal Cruelty’ … After Not Having Enough Money to Fund a Vet Visit for Dog

  April 26, 2013 at 1:57pm

  It is animal cruelty. She could have called a vet (on her Obama phone) and explained she was on a fixed income, but that her dog was suffering. If she did this minimal act she would have a defense, but she never tried to get her dog care and just let him suffer.

• Critics Pan Yet Another MSNBC Promo with Harris-Perry: You Have ‘Right’ to Health Care, Decent Housing, and ‘Quality Food at All Times’

  April 10, 2013 at 12:22pm

  I don’t disagree with the concept of having a floor that nobody can fall below. I just have a much lower floor than the MSNBC host. People should not be allowed to starve, or freeze, or otherwise die. However, when you give people assistance that goes beyond what is needed for survival then you are also taking someone’s self worth as well. Being on public assistance should suck.

  I’d go in the opposite direction of what the MSNBC host is advocating. I’d rather see public assistance look more like the Tent City of Arizona’s Sheriff Joe Arpaio. You also shouldn’t be having kids while on public assistance either. This should actually be a crime that goes on your record and would violate you if you were on probation.

• Ever Woken Up and Felt Paralyzed? You’re Not Crazy — It’s an Actual Thing

  March 6, 2013 at 12:31pm

  This happen to me. I had a nightmare that by baby son had been murdered, and I instantly woke up but couldn’t move. I was stuck between being awake and being asleep, but eventually I was able to wake up and move. When I checked on my son, he actually had been killed. This is when I woke up the second time, and once again I couldn’t move, but this time I was eventually able to fight through it and actually wake up. I checked on my son and he was fine. I felt horrible the next day, but mostly because of guilt from not fully waking up the first time. This happened 20 years ago and it still bothers me.

• The Craziest End to a High School Basketball Game You May Ever See: 3 Seconds, 2 Steals, 1 Buzzer-Beater

  The phrase is “Nothing but net.” When you say, “Nothing but the bottom of the net” it sounds like he missed and the ball hit the bottom of the net.

• House GOP May Seek Short-Term Debt Limit Extension

  January 17, 2013 at 11:29pm

  In reply to environmentalandawake.

  Here’s an even better idea. Go ahead and raise the debt limit without a fight, but include a provision that says, “No future increases to the debit limit can occur if Congress has not first passed a budget.”
