Your cause is lost.

Romney's faith will not cause him to lose in Iowa

Romney will lose in Iowa, but not because he is a Mormon. Rather, he will lose because he is a "political machine." This is the same reason why Obama is running neck-to-neck with Clinton in Iowa.

Would you like a survey with those comments?

How about you direct some of your indignation towards your employer?

@ timbuktom

My football team ran a variation of the single wing that required the center to snap the ball between the quarterback's legs (who was positioned on the center) to a "spin-back" five yards in the back field. Our center was required to do this for about 95% of our offensive plays, and he was expected to do this perfectly EVERY PLAY come hell high-water (or more realistically snow and sleet).

High school kids can perform at astonishingly high levels when they are motivated by the right coach, parent, teacher &etc.

Original article: Hyping the Chevy Volt

I think the Volt might be the real deal

About a week ago, I was reading that GM extended an offer to Ford to enter into some sort of joint powertrain development arrangement. At the center of their discussions was an agreement for GM to share the Volt technologies to Ford. Last I heard, the Ford Bord of Directors authorized management to pursue discussions with GM.

I think you should tell him . . . eventually

Break up with him, go of to college, and after a few you still want to tell his wife, write her a letter or give her a call. After a couple of months, you will have had plenty of time to start a new life in a very social setting. Who knows, by then you may not care anymore about this guy or his wife. On the other hand, if decide that you do, in fact, want to tell the wife, you will have had time to straighten yourself out emotionally, and you will have much easier time dealing with the fallout.

There is, however, one thing that you must do immediately: tell the husband that if he contact you again in any way, you will go straight to his wife. Make it clear that you mean business and that you will not tolerate him trying to convince you otherwise. For example, if even so much as leaves his number on you caller i.d. inform his wife.

Original article: The cost of leaving

Shocker

You tried to maintain a lifestyle that turned out to be financially unsustainable while you were living with your husband, and now that you two are separating, you can't afford to . . . .

Ugg. I am tired of thinking of your problems. Sell your stupid co-op, lower expenses, try to make more, and suffer with the rest of us.
