Tax code needs to be re-written, even companies are saying that. Do that and tax repatriated profits 10 or 15%, and you'd have a surplus once the Bush wars are paid for.

Like bullying, part of the power of the signs would be informing others to speak up and not tolerate it when they see it.
2:26 PM biffp commented on Obama Administration Described a Reporter Just Doing His Job as Probable "Aider, Abettor, and/or Co-Conspirator" in a Crime.
The Justice Department seems to be out of control on over-prosecution. Coupled with this, is the decision to challenge the Plan B case in New York - ignoring science for politics. And bringing serious charges for a political protest highlighting the lack of security at a nuclear facility against a nun, a homeless man and an artist. A distressing case.

The Stop Street Harassment stickers seem really smart, and the "I was asking for it' blog is enlightening about the ridiculousness of these guys, particularly in response to remarks on their b.s.

$$$ on the Zagat's scale would be $100 or more. Really doesn't look like the same dog on the left and right.

@10, agree. The second amendment protects a well-regulated militia. It's sad that the activist judge Antonio Scalia decided to abandon his black letter law principles to expand it to be a personal freedom.

Delta has a route from Doggyville, IL to Cats Town, AL, and charges $25 for check-in mice.

@2, that is legit, and that free show was a good show and a long show. Four septuagenarians on the cover of Rolling Stone was enough to make me want to write an article for Seattle Weekly entitled "Rock and Roll Is Bullshit."

A nice lunch, and I liked the manchego and tomato pulp. I did feel a little transported, but now I'm confused about where I went.

@70, there's some good stuff in that video. I'm disappointed to see anyone arguing in support of cat calling. It's nothing other than an attempt to assert power over someone else. If someone is interested, they should try talking to this person as a human being.
