And yet that never defined who he was. Oy. :P Don't get me started. I like John. A lot. He is a favorite of mine and has been for decades. That doesn't mean I agree with everything he has ever said or done. Regardless of what lyrics he wrote. Sure wealth didn't define him, neither did addictions or...

I guess I have even more trouble understanding interest in the sex lives of people I do know. . . . :P (I think there's a general fascination with powerful people screwing up.) I think that is true. The media can be rightfully accused of delightfully building people up and delightfully tearing them...

Yeah but how many of them are leaked on an anniversary or other important date? Along with all of the other issues, this happened to become known on election night and several days prior to a testimony by the chief witness? I don't possess any facts, but damn this is one of the most coincidental thi...

Yeah I'm not buying into the conspiracy thing at this
point either, but it is messy and something doesn't jive.
I suspect that the awkward timing has a lot to do with it.

Rule #1 of comedy: Know your audience. Rule #2 of comedy: Never let the facts get in the way of a good (or bad) joke. Personally, I choose not to be offended by any jokes, however distasteful. I just tune them and the teller out if I find them annoying enough. NONE of this belongs in this thread. Ca...

And yet by all accounts that I have ever heard, Petraeus was a well respected leader and had all the bipartisan support anyone could ever hope for. I guess it makes sense that a 4 star General who was so involved with our operations in South East Asia would be a good pick for Director of the CIA, bu...

It really is difficult for me to fathom this sort of thing. How many people over how many years have left an electronic trail that has ultimately led to their demise or an uncovering of aberrant behavior? There are so many examples, it is mind boggling. And yet we have the Director of the CIA who ap...

So Petraeus won't be testifying about the Benghazi attacks? If that is true, that seems strange to me. This investigation took the FBI 4 months? The President wasn't notified until election night? Congress wasn't notified until Friday? Reps from both sides of the aisle are shocked and up in arms. I ...

Well, the right thing, IMO, would have been not having an affair. Certainly a man in his position is expected to exercise sufficient judgment and self control. Eta: NYT is saying that this came to light when FBI was checking his computer to see if it was compromised. The head of the CIA could not h...

I'm not repeating anything from Romney. I know what I know at work, and I know what I've read from the CBO. And from your own link; The CBO study was undertaken to estimate the impact of the health care law on the number of people obtaining health care coverage from their employer. CBO came up with ...
