    Government today is "advanced cronyism"- how to use the government power to get stuff from other people.

    WND is a Christian front organization. They are not unbiased and tend to sensationalize and slant their stories. Approach with caution.

    But battle-fatigued does have a certain attraction to it too...

    I feel a bit like the 'one eyed man in the land of the blind'. Or worse, the sighted woman in the land where everyone else has eyes but does not seem to see.

    They might have a problem with short memory loss?
    The real answer could be that Congressmen have a sort of diplomatic immunity, and the law negates this.

    Or don't pay your taxes or have some other suspicious tricks in your personal history. I'll bet that congress confers her anyway. Especially since she's already said she's OK with illegal aliens to be in the country so long as they have a job,

    I don't think it's necessary for them to pass a law to specifically make it against the law for them to use insider information that they had when it was already against the law to use insider information.

    I can imagine. Another example of someone using their innate intelligence instead of needing a college education.

    The word to describe how I feel is battle-fatigued. We will soon enough hear the "word that says, 'You are evil because you do not agree with me.' " It will be employed in a future presidential campaign.

    I sat next to the Colonel in first class many years ago (Eastern airlines, to show how long ago).

    He was in a wheelchair in the terminal, and being pushed by a young traveling companion. We all watched him board first, and then we were allowed to get on the plane.

    I was surprised to find him next to my seat, and asked him if he would like me to change my seat assignment, so that his companion could sit with him.
    "Oh no" he replied, "he is in coach. Only the Colonel flies First Class."

    I could almost write a New Yorker length article with the personal stories he told me...such as he only made it out of the third grade!

    It's actually pretty good if you get it before it's been sitting under the heat lamps for hours. Been awhile since I've been there, but since it's Tues, that makes me think of chicken livers for dinner - yum!

    It only means KFC. About 10 yrs ago, they changed from Kentucky Fried Chicken to just KFC. Probably when they started doing the oven roasted chicken.

    Check out their about page, you won't find that name anywhere (well, you will, but only in an historical pic).

    Sigh. Don't you get tired of hearing the same things over and over and over again?

    We need a word that says, "You are evil because you do not agree with me." and then we can use it at whim instead of just co-opting terms that actually have their own meanings.

    Obama Nominated, Obama Approved. She meets all of his important the qualifications - Black Female with Connections (aka BFC). Extra points if you're either Islamic or have radical connections.

    Your link doesn't solve the problem - does it mean nothing, or does it mean Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation? My comment could have been written about a lot of articles. Even my local newspaper is guilty. The first time an acronym is used, it should have its meaning enclosed in parens!
