Hanks needs to go back to playing Forest Gump. That was his finest hour, and displayed his maximum IQ appropriately.

Hollywood "stars" are disgusting and ignorant, yet demand attention and relevance. All the movies are trying to make political statements anti military, anti religion, anti conservatism, anti patriotism….so, who really gives a damn. Nothing in California has any relevance either….it has run its string out…Just like Michigan died when the auto industry tanked, California will tank when the hi tech venture capitalists move out leaving programmers with no jobs other than video gaming….and the houses will never come back in value.

Better white wine elsewhere, better restaurants elsewhere, nicer scenery elsewhere, more cordial people elsewhere, too many gays, activists, feminists, con artists, and out of work strippers. ... See all content Hide content

When these "catholic appologist halo-hangers" get serious, then they can examine the Pope's assistance of Hitler's Germany, and the looting of native tribes in the name of missionary work….facinating how poverty stricken third world starving populations live in villages and lands where the most impressive building is a Catholic Church, built instead of providing water, or sanitation….so that the souls rather than the bodies might prosper. Let these ladies throw the first stone if the Catholic Church is without any blame of its own. ... See all content Hide content

jesus said, pick up your bed and carry it…..he meant that the sick are responsible for taking care of themselves, not lying around for others to attend to their needs…..the government has been carrying the bed for the pathetic irresponsible losers of the nation with no initiative nor desire to work for their own maintenance or to make hard decisions and take actions to better their own lives. No one owes these people anything other than a chance for them to do better if they choose to do the work themselves. Pity is an excuse for those with excessive guilt complexes…they are sickos. ...

Bunning is RIGHT to hold up extensions by the US governemtn of funds for unemployment comp….it is an INSURANCE program, not a welfare program….sorry that those without jobs are having a tough time…they need to move, or get a small job or temp until things get better…not just stay on the "dole"….they have no pride and think they are entitled to get money for not working…..sorry….let them eat catfood like the poor elderly are forced to do…they are also unemployed.

I never met Barack, but only heard about him second hand. My fellow associates who were summer interns with him (in '89 I think) described him as very tall, handsome, thin, and amiable but pretty aloof. They commented of his love of basketball and that he was always up for a game and that basketball and politics is all that grabbed his interest at the time. They stated that he did not seem to be interested in practicing law at a big firm and doing the hard and dull work that that entailed, was just drawing his big pay check, that he did not turn work assignments in on a timely matter, was gone frequently, and generally wanted to be a community organizer in preparation for a political career, not as a practicing attorney. As a result, the firm — according to what I was told by people that should know — did not extend him an offer. So as shocking as it seems, our Obama apparently did not make the cut as a summer intern. I suspect that is buried like all written d ocumentation and will never see the light of day, but I do wonder if Obama could produce an offer letter from Sidley? According to what I was told, and this is just second hand, he was not offered a job and was instead sent a regrets letter. This of course is not to say that he could not have succeeded if he wanted to. He is bright and quick, and I would hate to try a lawsuit against him, but certainly not the brilliant legal scholar and committed, talented practicing attorney that he has been portrayed as by the media. He was, and is very much a clever Southside Chicago pol, no more and no less.

According to Wikipedia, Obama was a summer associate with Hopkins & Sutter in 1990, and graduated in 1991 from Harvard. So that would suggest he was a first year summer intern at Sidley in 89', was not offered to return for a second summer, took a summer intern job at Hopkins & Sutter, and probably did not get an offer there either — unless he can account for h is time away from legal practice. Hopkins paid a top tier salary, so I doubt that he would turn that down if he was offered it.

Both were kind of odd cases at Sidley, frankly. Regardless of their ethnicity, gender, or other background, all other young lawyers to a person that I met were very committed to making a career at the firm, worked very hard at their projects, worked on honing their craft and were trying to build a reputation within the firm for doing quality legal work and build a career. However, both Michele and Barack came into the firm and were treated very differently and behaved differently, more like political hires who were just using the firm as a political vehicle, getting a blue-chip firm stamp on their resume, and being funded in the meantime. Same basic "arrangement" as Bernadine Dohrn had. She did not do legal work to my knowledge and paying her a salary was simply a deposit in the favor bank to borrow a phrase from Bonfire of the Va nities. Mary A. Dempsey, current head of the Chicago Public Library and husband of super lawyer and Dem pol Phil Corboy, was another political hire. She did not really practice law but simply practiced Chicago politics and drew a salary at the same time. This is what they call the "Chicago Way." Future leaders are not chosen on merit or strength of character but are simply groomed and coopted as appartchniks of the political machine.

My strong sense is that both Michele and Barack Obama are mere empty creations of the Chicago political machine who advanced through the ranks in order to support vested political and economic interests. Who these vested interests were or what back room deals were made, no one will ever know. Barack's background as a "constitutional scholar" is widely acknowledged a being a sham by the true constitutional lawyers and scholars in Chicago. How can you be a constitutional scholar when you have not written a single legal brief on the subject, given a single meaningful scholarly lecture before experts, published a peer-reviewed scholarly articles or treatise? There is simply no "there, there" which is why BHO is so lost when he goes off of teleprompter and seems to be so lost for answers and fresh ideas or even rudimentary knowledge — he is simply the spokesman for these hidden interests and power brokers who espouse a radical far left ideology and delivers the same old tired leftist adages and buzz words. My measurement of him is that is literally the living, breathing and tragically elected "Chauncey Gardiner of the Left." (Remember the scene where the power brokers at the end of the film "Being There" were talking about raising Chance the gardener to the office of the President).

Michelle Obama has been on court ordered inactive status with the Illinois State Attorneys bar from 1993, after only 4 years of practicing law. Many are curious to know what did she do, or didn't do, to acquire this status. ... See all content Hide content

How can an intellectually superior person be totally unable to comprehend mathmatics and economics, then. Spending more money than you have, and financing the evergrowing deficit, eventually causes interest expense to make it impossible to pay off the loan without bankrupting the nation. Making a few that actually make money through their own efforts and initiatives pay for the failure of MANY that fail to provide for themselves reduces any incentive to make such wealth, eventually creating too few to pay for the failure of the MANY. These simple 2 + 2 = 4 facts escape the abilities of the so called intellectual elite liberals. ... See all content Hide content

THE ISSUE RAISED WAS NOT AGAINST HEALTH. It was about how to PAY for this huge new "entitlement" of INSURANCE for paying for Healthcare. That has NOTHING to do with HEALTH…is is how to pay for services and treatments. The nation is in serious financial ruin. To buy more that we cannot pay for is stupid. The results is that NO ONE can get healthcare, if the doctors and hospitals cannot service the needs for what the Government would DICTATE the value of those services.

This Democrat focus group posing as a true formum was just emotionalism carried to the extreme by the LIBERAL thugcrats, smacking their lips over how bad and uncaring the mean old GOP are that want RESPONSIBLE government spending and reasonable tax costs for the citizens and the protection of the nation.

The hoot was Reid's quote about the silly Harvard study that said 45,000 people die annually because they have no insurance.

There of course is no guarantee that folks with cash to pay will not die from disease and poor health.

Physicians errors account for 225,000 Deaths Every Year.

Abortion killed at least 203,991 blacks, in the 36 states and two cities that report to the CDC on abortions, whereas,

During that same year, according to the CDC, a total of 198,385 blacks nationwide died from heart disease, cancer, strokes, accidents, diabetes, homicide, and chronic lower respiratory diseases combined.

in fact, here are the national death stats:

• Heart disease: 631,636

• Cancer: 559,888

• Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 137,119

• Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 124,583

• Accidents (unintentional injuries): 121,599

• Diabetes: 72,449

• Alzheimer's disease: 72,432

• Influenza and Pneumonia: 56,326

• Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 45,344

• Septicemia: 34,234

In 2000, the most common actual causes of death in the United States were tobacco (435,000), poor diet and physical inactivity (400,000), alcohol consumption (85,000), microbial agents (e.g., influenza and pneumonia, 75,000), toxic agents (e.g., pollutants and asbestos, 55,000), motor vehicle accidents (43,000), firearms (29,000), sexual behavior (20,000) and illicit use of drugs (17,000).

Actual causes of death are defined as lifestyle and behavioral such as smoking and physical inactivity that contribute to this nation's leading killers including heart disease, cancer, and stroke.

I fail to see where 45,000 deaths is significant, when lifestyle choices rather than medical treatment is the main cause of these deaths.

Better than national insurance would be ellimination of all alcohol, tobacco, driving, guns, sexual disease transmission, and fatty foods. And while at it, the government could mandage exercise as well.

Until the citizens decide to live lifestyles and make personal choices to improve their own chances of good health, throwing money at insurance is foolish. But it is the easy way for the liberals to "feel good" about everyone just doing whatever they want, and turning to the Big Goverment to take care of them when the consequences they earned come home to them.

This idea that the GOP is against health is foolish. The Democrats are against health….they want to pay for doctors to fix whatever the poor folks do to themselves…and get the workers to pay for those choices by the folks that mess themselves up. The sad cases of kids born without good health is attributable to the medical community in America that chooses to save lives at whatever medical cost it incurs to do so…yet throws away lives in unwanted pregnancy abortions.

Liberals can bray all they want about fair and caring…but until they apply the same caring and attitude toward all lives, they are just hypocrits and whiners, spendtrifts and nannystaters. ... See all content Hide content
