asking for a wedding ring is hollow, tell her to ask another guy out on a date. That will get things moving real fast

I'm more alarmed by the way the industry covers up cases of rape by on-board personnel.
at least in this case, the passengers have since been promised a refund and a second trip for free, as well as travel reimbursement expenses.
I still want to try doing a cruise at somepoint in my life to judge the experience for myself.

I agree that the single most effective way to increase employment oppurtunities in the US is to offset the costs of employment taxes (preferably by increasing investment taxes),
but to call employee tax contributions the most regressive tax possible is a huge stretch and shouldn't be presented as being otherwise.

to be fair, the total number of americans will continue to rise as well. I'm curious to know if the percentage of not-employed americans is also rising.

"militarize the internet" scares me.
Everything else in this article does not. Once again, we have a member of the media trying to alert us to something, without explaining what that something is.

he starts of with the bullshit story about Obama's supposed 200 million a day entourage into indis, and then spouts off a bunch of anecdotes about how brazil and china are "concerned" about what Ben Bernanke will do. I'm no fan of QE, but if you tell me that china doesn't want us to do something- I'm all for it.
These guys need to hunker down, do the research, and actually explain this shit or else they are useless paraquats.

well technically it's "indefinitely suspended"
I didn't elaborate because it was more of a venting.
Bottom line: I strongly oppose any situation where your employment should be contingent on or effected by your political activity, even in news journalism

that's some weak analysis jeff:
Little disappointed in you this time.
As for myself, the economical impact of simply not having pot offenders in the legal system, as well as the long term incarceration effects on the offenders (being "jumped" into criminal society) is benefit enough to start with.

money always is an arbitrary number. Say you had a 1980 $100. The government stats say it's worth $265 current dollars. Shadow stats says it should be $560. not quite as inflation proof as you would have thought.
Conversely, the whole idea is to have a low rate of inflation to encourage velocity. nobody seriously associated with policy wants a %0 inflation rate.
Lastly, if you took a $100 in 1980, put it into any investment vehicle, you would have more than $265. Especially when volcker was fed chairman.

hope the trade works out for you jeff. I don't have money to play it, but I might have played a date after the elections.... then again if some winds change before the election, maybe we'll see the market move faster.

most of us grew up in broken homes and don't want to make the same mistake our parents did, so we are going to take our time and marry at about the age most of our parents started their second marriage.

what pisses me off the most about this is the people who look at tarp and say "this is proof that keynseian economics doesn't work"- and it's the exact opposite. Supply side economics doesn't work. Put the money at the top- it stays there.

gold/silver up + oil down = market segmentation not deflation. This is just evidence that there is more investor money than investors know what to do with and they are doing their best not be the next sucker.
Bottom line: anything that is useful is going down, while any investor class asset that is "useless" is going to bubble. I'm really surprised by gold's rise, but it looks like it's going to keep that way for awhile.

Pay attention to how the PR on this plays out, people are going to start focusing their attention on the ill-gotten gains of the insurance companies more and more, and there will end up being even more legislation down the road.

I wish I hadn't click the link.
This guy is a FUCKIN MORON
Having been unemployed for 2 years now I'll confirm that you don't spend 40 hours a week looking for what isn't there. But forcing me to spend my time at my neighborhood church is just going to piss me off even more. 1) it's not going to help my confidence. Instead of going from being able to spend 120 hours a week working on my skillset, I'm down to 80. 1/3 of my time has been taken from me. I would feel like it will take me that much longer to get wherever I'm going to end up, and that I'm a slave to a system to boot 2)It's not going to help me get a job I look for postings related web technologies. spooning soup and preparing care packages for the elderly isn't going to help to that end. 3) It's going to cost someone else their job Get this, a city had to downsize their parks maintenance staff due to budget cuts. So they put out a call for volunteers to mow the grass in the parks. Imagine if all cities could have "volunteers" mowing their parks grass. We could cut those budgets even further!
at least he's spot on about conservatives being idiots as well about unemployment benefits, which just goes to show you how bad the chain of 'teh stupid' has gotten

"100% - 42% = 58%, or basically the portion of the budget that encompasses entitlements."
or perhaps we can keep the 'entitlements' that the populace earned and get rid of the other shit.
