The article is what it is. She does not appear to be over the top. But if this is part of your action plans "The water action plan, Marcus said, aims to curb “truly wasteful practices” such as watering lawns to the extent that the water runs down the street. In addition, restaurant servers are prohibited from serving water to patrons without asking." then why AFTER SPENDING BILLIONS in the last few decades do you not have a plan for catching runoff. Why have you not created more reservoirs. why has there been no preemptive action taken.

Of course, this isn’t fair. I’m asking you to do the impossible. I’m asking you to prove, somehow, that a generic white straight male will always have an ‘easier’ life than a generic woman, or homosexual, or minority. It can’t be done. We can’t quantify, tabulate and measure our suffering, and then stack it up against the suffering of others to figure out who is the most victimized victim of all. There are too many dimensions, too many factors, too many unknowns. You can’t possibly fathom another person’s struggle, nor can they fathom yours. Even if they do appear to...

He commented that Trump only won 47% of vote but won Florida. OK but wasn't that against a larger field of candidates and didn't the popular vote decide? unlike Colorado? just asking.... didn't the vote of the people matter in Florida?

In Islamist terrorism we face a violent and highly contagious madness that believes the killing of civilians is a moral act. Whatever this is, it is not a clash of civilizations. The concept of "civilization" scarcely comes into it. Nor is it a struggle between competing sets of values, or a religious war, or a battle with an alien culture. There is no debate here - as there was in the Cold War - about how it is best for men to live: the enemy has stated explicitly that it does not revere life at all. On the contrary, it...

Looking for fellow FReepers opinions about statins. I told doc I do not want a script. However how effective are fish/krill oils? what about cetia?. Of course I understand about diet but I have not started a new diet yet. Go ahead and go to town on this one, please.

WTF. I know the majority of you folks are religious however I'm thinking this is the end for glenn.

was just wondering about our hits as Hillary is fixn to run

This could come in useful.

it's F U N N Y

NASA is committed to launching our astronauts on American spacecraft from U.S. soil as soon as possible. Since the end of our Space Shuttle Program in 2011, NASA has relied on the Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos) for the launch and safe return of astronauts to and from the International Space Station (ISS) aboard its Soyuz spacecraft. While our Russian counterparts have been good partners, it is unacceptable that we don't currently have an American capability to launch our own astronauts. That’s why the Obama Administration has placed such a high priority on correcting this situation. Three years ago, the Administration...

I typed this into google just to see what I would get. Look at first hit. I am debating a desert eagle before they are gone.

Controversial climatologist Michael Mann has won another round – this time beating back a demand for emails he wrote while working at the University of Virginia. The American Tradition Institute had filed a freedom-of-information request for them. Mann and the university balked.

So early in his program he said that the nba needs to issue an amber alert on the refs. Haha, I found it a very crude attempt at humor. Not gonna waste cell time calling but please don't equate NBA refs to anything "amber".What if yer daughter was on one of those lists? Ok, rant is over and I did mark it personal. That is all.....

Just heard Larry King on Colin Cowherd's radio show talking about Tim Tebow. In one of his comments I guess he had a freudian slip and referred to him as Tim Teabag,just thought it was funny and would let folks know. That is all.

How worried should President Obama be about winning a second term?

I'm seeing more and more Romney articles, Thanks....I will not vote for Mccain I will not vote for guiliani and I wil not vote for Romney. Thanks RNC for putting forth the candidate we want. losers.

OK, so heres the story. When I was growing up folks would offer me jobs. Now that I am older I could do this job myself but the 14 year old next door is dying to make a buck. I say ok but tell him he's gonna have to live up to my standards. Dangit', Am I getting old? I know this doesnt make any sense but if you have any insight I would appreciate it. I'm offering him 50 bucks a day but if he busts his a## he could get it done on day one. 100 bucks for...

Please bring back thread views.

Listen to video, Joe is right in what he is saying, it's just that his administration is against all the "Values" he is saying. The middle class is getting killed their policies such as health care for everyone, enviromental regulations, shutting down the entire gulf oil industry,shutting down folks in America who make GD light bulbs, nationalizing the auto industry and trying to make all states go union because it's not fair to california. Etc etc etc.

Screw you NC government.
