Actions matter more than empty rants against the "rich". If paying taxes is patriotic and it is traitorous to try and figure out a legal way around it then why have the Clinton's done everything they can to skirt the Death Tax (as the Bloomberg article I posted notes). Can't fault them for playing ...

That being said the whole meme that GOP loves the rich and the DNC loves the poor and that this would put in a "GOP Aristocracy" when the wealthiest candidate for President in 2016 (at present) is the DNC candidate and most of the 1% votes DNC shows how well the narrative has been sold. Their perso...

Republicans push for a permanent aristocracy On Tuesday afternoon, the House Rules Committee took up H.R. 1105, the “Death Tax Repeal Act of 2015,” with plans to bring it to a vote on the chamber floor Wednesday — Tax Day. It is an extraordinarily candid expression of the majority’s priorities: A ta...

I read it. You know how to read, you ignorant ****?

Gaucho is definitely winning the thread so far...

You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it.

I wish I could bake a cake made out of rainbows and smiles and we'd all eat it and be happy.

I'm curious as to how people here pray. Do you just say the old standards or is it more of a free form thing? Do you feel that your prayers have ever been answered? "Whenever the insistence is on the point that God answers prayer, we are off the track. The meaning of prayer is that we get hold of G...

Hmmm, those modifiers seem strangely familiar...

What kind is she? Our cat looks very similar The crittery kind. ;) She's a long-haired tortoiseshell. Torties are almost always female, and often display a personality type known as 'tortitude'. They tend to be strong-willed, a bit hot-tempered, and they can be very possessive of their human. Other...

Cerv was the yinzer that got the Maatta jersey btw. Good for him...

Whoa no way, really?

Yep. Cerv getting some superstar treatment tonight from the Pens.

In searching for an article that Tif mentioned in another thread, this came up. Just found it interesting.

Yeah, this project is so huge that it's a thousand to one odds that it'll actually happen. Really wish HBO had stepped up for a 8 - 10 season series. And if it does, having Akiva Goldsman as the screenwriter isn't a good sign. ;) The article says the movie will be based on The Gunslinger . I don't ...

I feel I got prepared pretty well for real life at Valley, much more than I would of have had I went to Burrell or Highlands.

Oh skully...

When it comes to milk, I'm a traditionalist. None of this fancy pants coconut/almond crap. Give me it straight from the teat. There's a farm near Edinboro that sells raw milk and unpasteurized cheese. Haven't tried them yet, but have heard good things. Raw milk is illegal in Maryland. You need a sp...

Pshaw! That's not real milk.

milk n00b? :lol: Quick calculations say I've consumed well over 3,000 gallons. I've been drinking 2% for over 25 years. I drank whole milk at my parents' until I was 18. My GF (now wife) drank skim, so we tried 1% as a compromise at first. It was OK to drink, but on cereal it's too watery. Awesome g...
