The people have clearly voted over the years that federalized healthcare is not wanted...so why try and "Back-door" the policies...
Just because it doesn't happen in one bill doesn't mean it won't happen.
Who will pay for this??? The Middle class through unfunded mandates that flow from the Federal to the State to the local municipality...
While I think health care is a necessity...I can't afford more of the tab...
Who Knew!!!
too bad I only realized this at 5:00 EST...
Bummer!
what a great article...I can remember occasions of being upset that I couldn't get that "great" picture that I totally missed the moment...
well worth the read.
after spending the weekend in the ER for my daughter (who is fine now...) I found this article and think it's a great read...
Another thing that I wold like to add is #6...Take care of yourself...you can't help your loved one if you get sick yourself.
Yet another great post over at Musings of a Whiskey Rebel.
Cool stuff!
Hopefully they won't be made in China!
I'm sure he is looking to move past this...
He's a cheater!
Who else on his team knew?
is Mangini not complaining because that would make him a hyporcrite?
How many players knew.
At least in this instance Goodell had rules in place to be able to punish the cheater...not like Buddie boy Selig who refused to put rules in place that would call steroid use and HGH a "foul" in baseball.
You will never stop this kind of behavior, but it is how an organization handles it after the fact that fouls their reputation or redeems them in the eye of the consumer.
Kudos to Goodell and his heavy hand!!! At least I can look at my kids and say that if you do something wrong you will have consequences...can't say that about baseball (at least you couldn't until Congress forced them to make rule changes)...which is why I say DOWN WITH SELIG!
you have to be kidding me?!?!?!?!
Next thing you know this school district will be putting 5 year olds in jail for missing nap time!
All I can say about this is GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Only in New York...In the city where the worst Terror attack in our country's history took place does a Muslim public school open...
Two amazing things happened here that won't happen in most other countries in the world...
The right to open up a school that teaches what is currently an "Unpopular" religion due to the terrorism links to radical islam....and the right to protest something that citizens have a problem with...
One problem I do have with this school is that nowhere in the NYC school district is catholic or jewish cultures mandatory courses like Muslim culture is at this school...
Another problem is that this is at taxpayer expense...teaching tolerance of other religions is a great idea and worth every penny...but it shouldn't be on the taxpayer dime unless of course someone can go to school funded by public dollars and say a catholic or hebrew prayer without getting suspended!
It's one year but now we have Bindi...
It was sunny and 80 degrees here on Sunday but my son sat inside watching Bindi narrate old Croc Hunter shows of her father...
he was mesmerized...
I'm all for hammering the Chinese about product recalls...they seem to have found a way to export their contaminated waste materials....by shipping them to the US...
But Mattel should have been sampling the products for quality...as well as every retailer that sold them.
I have no doubt that Mattel overlooked the issue in light of profits and should be ashamed of themselves.
If my daughter had any of these toys and had lead poisoning...I would sue everyone involved in the supply chain...the manufacturer, the wholesaler, the retailer, the shipper and even customs because the product didn't match the shipping notices.
People are horrible and putting our children at risk is one of the worst offenses of all.
BOYCOTT CHINA and now MATTEL as well!!!
Wow...this kid passed his entrance exams...
I found it interesting that a few schools didn't allow him admittance...but I really think that beyond being a prodigy, this kid needs to be a child first...
He won't get the same social development of other kids his age...but then again...if Hong Kong's public schools are anything like ours...I don't know if he would get a great deal of positive social development with kids his age either...
The lead painted toys that have been recalled by Mattel now pose an environmental problem...
When a majority of the products end up in the landfill the paint will leach off into the ground causing an environmental issue.
It looks like China found a way of disposing of it's waste instead of dumping it into it's own rivers...send it to America!!!
Buried in the article is the fact that laws would allow Mattel to "Re-export" toys that don't pose an environmental risk to another country for resale!!!!
Horrible!
Boycott Made in China!
I couldn't watch the video attached to the article...maybe I should have before I comment...but that is just nuts.
The father obviously lost his cool...but he was contained in the hospital. With no way to exit, there must have been a better way to handle this.
That being said, the guard is an off duty police officer that should have had training for this type of situation that a private security guard may not have...
What a horrible situation for the baby...
China was aware of the problems with the toys that were delivered since MARCH!!!
The article says that there was no comment as to what took so long to do anything about it...
we all know the answer...MONEY.
There are a ton of emails going around that say to boycott gas from Venezuela because of comments from Hugo Chavez...and that is just for comments by some dope...
Why aren't there emails saying to boycott "BROKEN IN CHINA, SHIPPED TO AMERICA"...especially when in regards to the safety of our children?????
BOYCOTT MADE IN CHINA!
Yet another recall of children's products
This is a similar situation to every Governor in the nation looking at bridge safety AFTER a collapse.
If there wasn't any attention brought to products from China would Mattel have recalled the products???
I'm not so sure...they should have been sampling product in the first place.
The head of the company in a major US toy recall hung himself in disgrace.
While I am all about punishment for companies that put lead in paint used for children's toys...
this may be a little harsh.
I will say this though...I think a few CEOs in America need to feel a little disgrace for their actions.
Are you kidding me???
I'm sure it was the same way in my parents generation...
Every day you read something where someone says that they have a way to give your kids a head start in the world and you do your best to get it done...
a couple of years later you read that, what you were told may not have been the case...
who knows...
