It's a huge part of the legislative branch's job to create and pass a budget. In 2010, the Democrats controlled both the House and Senate and could pass whatever they wanted, yet they did not pass any budget, they did not even present one. In 2011 they controlled the Senate and could pass...

No, Obama did present a budget. He couldn't get the Democrats to vote for it. Not a single Democrat would vote in favor of their own President's budget. That tells us something. Or it should. The Democrats don't have a budget. They haven't done a budget in ages- including when they...

No, they are much smaller- but they look bigger because they are close ups. The first picture is wild geranium, also called craneflower around here. I don't know what the other purple flower is. I'm trying to find out (I ID this wildflower every spring, and then forget it by summer)...

There is a CODA who posts here from time to time whose Deaf dad is in jail for trying to decapitate his girlfriend (he also tried to kill his wife years before). I had a friend who was a single mom because when she got pregnant her Deaf husband was so angry he beat her, punching her in the...

Nobody is blaming Trayvon at all. Nobody. IF the story as reported is true, I would blame the thugs involved and the media's inflammatory, irresponsible and dishonest reporting of the Trayvon/Zimmerman story. We don't know if it's true, since it's the same inflammatory, irresponsible, and...

Depends on which story you're talking about. The news story where the media reported that Zimmerman said, something like, "he looks suspicious. He looks black" was a lie. It wasn't because the tape was unclear. It was because somebody had a narrative and an agenda. The news agency that...

I am not the photographer Steinhauer is, but here's some stuff blooming in our woods:

Oh, my goodness, they are both so adorable. And hilarious.

Ah, okay. Yes, we buy raw sugar from time to time. Molasses is a healthy sweetener, if you're not diabetic or worried about spiking blood sugars. But at the grocery store, brown and white sugar is typically just died and moistened white sugar or white sugar.=)

Yes, the vast amount of typical diets have something wrong with them. I am no fan of the SAD diet, either, or in pasteurized milk for that matter. The government had to add vitamin D to the most vitamin D rich food on the planet because pasteurization removed it. But whole milk and butter from...

Not because TV was expensive. Because my parents thought it was a waste of time. My husband and I thought the same- and also that it was just bubblegum for the brain. Kids were better off playing. TMT isn't scientific at all. That was a joke. Okay, not a very good joke.:wave: I meant...

Oh, The Places You'll Go by Dr. Seuss ASL Interpretation - YouTube My daughter sent me the link. She says the signer is a CODA. He uses more of what we have been taught are 'deafisms' than other youtube signers we've seen.

My husband has a bachelor's degree and is going back to college to become a special ed teacher. He is starting at the local community college, and he also had to take the placement exam. He will have to take the 'special' math class, which doesn't count toward his GPA or his diploma. I...

I'm surprised about the brown sugar. It's exactly the same thing as white sugar, just with flavoring and moisture agents. But cardiologists really don't study much nutrition, and then they tend to be getting information at least ten years out of date.

We didn't have television in the 60s, which is probably why I watched Dark Shadow at my babysitter's.=) We only got television at all because somebody gave us one. My parents didn't bother to get cable OR color television until 1981- after I was out of the house. I am not bitter about that...

Glad I am a youngster to somebody. My kids will tell me that somebody they met is OLD, and then it turns out, they are my age.:roll: I must have watched the first or second season of Dark Shadows only, though.

English is tough, but I think Chinese is harder. Unless you are Chinese.

Yes. We can tell. It's kind of sad that you can't recognize their biases, but at least it's better than the Kos Kids.

Oh, the new civility. Looks so much like the old hand waving and hyperbole. I don't like Romney either, mainly because I don't believe he's going to cut spending. His health care plan is the one Obama used, and it's already failing in his home state.
