Hey Dr Frank, how is it that the NFL is a tax-exempt business and the tax-payers fund the building of stadiums, then have to pay to use them? Did you know the commissioner makes 44mill a year
baseball,basketball,golf,etc pay taxes.
maybe come out of the growroom once in a while and see what's happening TODAY

Voters have some say over local minimum wage laws:
In November, San Francisco voters overwhelmingly passed a measure that will increase the minimum wage within the city to $15 per hour by 2018. Although all of us at Borderlands support the concept of a living wage in principal and we believe that it's possible that the new law will be good for San Francisco -- Borderlands Books as it exists is not a financially viable business if subject to that minimum wage. Consequently we will be closing our doors no later than March 31st. The cafe will continue to operate until at least the end of this year.

$15 bucks an hour for minimal skills ain't bad, unless you lose your job over it.

TGT, umm, you know that focusing on Al Sharpton is a giveaway of your, umm, racial views, right? Not that it wasn't apparent.
Anyway, I'm sure when your guy (see pic) is in the WH, he won't be welcome..

It's amnesia, DMT...they have already forgotten those wars. They are angling for a new one, though. Elect Lindsey Graham and just see how long it takes before he and John McCain start another one.

I predicted the new Republican Congress would immediately engage in more futile attempts to repeal Obamacare. Trying is a waste of your tax-money, but a symbolic "feel-good" ritual for them.
As if begging for a Groundhog Day joke, House Republicans will vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act again on Tuesday. It'll be the 56th shot they've taken at the law, and just like every other time they've tried to erase President Obama's signature achievement, this attempt is doomed to fail. Republicans have nowhere near the veto-proof majority they'd need to kill Obamacare

Ron has a point about Williams. I don't know if he should be canned but there is some 'splainin' to do.

he does have a good point, he just muddled it by adding that williams is a democrat. Liberal or conservative, lying in the media is a serious concern. One study I saw said Fox news had the highest number of demonstrated untruths in its reporting.
Of course.. this is.. the republicans versus democrats thread. So I guess each trying to one up the other should be expected. Too bad. As long as we keep that the focus, I think that we will keep being unable to solve our problems.

a democrat, one Mr Brian Williams You do not know this.
He embellished a story, for sure, and it's not good for him. I like him, always seemed like a straight shooter.
We should be way more concerned about all the lies from the Bush gang that got us into the war. The talk yakkers & Fox are all worked up about Brian Williams...another bunch of fake outrage.

yes, how about focusing on those who have power to put us in a war. What were there actions when they faced draft, service, etc.? It isn't even interesting and in reality(the way I see it and I could be wrong) it is just jacking the proverbial tribal COCKamany that keeps the folks separated and therefore hella weak, no matter your side or how smart you think you are. I think it is time to get out of this isle of rice cakes, chicharones, miracle whip, tofu jerky etc. Look for commonality if you really want to move forward in a progressive manner. The last time one should remember pointing fingers and calling names they probably should be in some sort of sandbox with a swing set, slides and shet.

They seem to seek their macho image by posing as something they never were.
Yep, toss Ryan on that heap of degenerates too.
