Anybody else want advice for trips they've already taken?

So how about a law that makes a company liable for the losses shareholders suffer due to wrongdoing by the company?

There were shutdowns during 6 of Reagan's 8 years in office, though they totaled up to only 14 days. The last two shutdowns occurred with Clinton and Obama in office and those two totaled up to 27 days. So at the national level, Democrats have not been willing to cause as much damage with their shutdowns. As to the state level shutdowns ss2k mentioned, the one in Indiana was a legislative walkout that prevented a specific bill from getting passed. It didn't stop government work and stop employees from getting paid the way the Federal shutdowns have. (Although I do still think it was wrong of them to walk out like that.)

The Congressman for our district and one of the two Senators are part of that hardliner group. Yet based on conversation that I hear here at work, the majority of employees voted for both of them. Same goes with the owners of many of the businesses in the area that will lose business during a shutdown. There are 3-4 restaurants near here that get 80+% of their lunch business from us. One of them went under during the shutdown 2 years ago from the lost business and went on TV and blamed Obama's tax policies as the reason his restaurant went under.

We got the "hey, we might have to shut down in a week" e-mail from the department Secretary today.

No, 8% does not include the bowl game, but LSU is an SEC team right?

Nobody will go to his funeral. It will be too crowded.

Just don't forget where the "Obama wasn't born in the US" claim started.

Based on yesterday, I would say the Tigers want it more. "It" being a Top 10 draft pick.

Colts should hire Brian Kelly.

Yes, it is, so I probably should have just left them off.

He has a track record of fiscal success as Ohio's governor, got re-elected with well over 60% of the vote in a pretty moderate state, and yes, he has a history of saying things that make sense. In general I think being a governor of a big state is as good of preparation for the Presidency as you can get.

I think Kasich is the best candidate on either major party ticket since I've been able to vote (1988).

Army is 0-3 but has been close to winning each game. And before you trot out any cliches about being "close" remember that Army actually has hand grenades.

IDK, after Petrino and Bielema, could Arkansas handle a coach with actual integrity?

If you think Strong at Texas drew out racism, imagine him at Alabama?

Assume for this poll that there is no other party and that one of these 17 people will be the next President. Where would your vote go? Interested to see how Soxtalk results compare with national polling. Crap, where did the poll go?

Lots of people are all the way one of those two things because really rich people on both sides are very good at convincing very gullible people to believe party lines instead of thinking for themselves.

Really hard to say after 3 games. FPI (and most of the other computer rankings) like OSU a lot more than MSU.

These tickets are still available.

According to the ESPN Football Power Index, best chance of finishing the regular season undefeated: Ohio State 28.9% Boise State 20.9% Mississippi 16.7% Baylor 9.6% Notre Dame 8.4%

The university is caught in the middle between trying to do the right thing and trying to placate a handful of racist big-money donors. It would be wrong to fire him but it probably happens.

Wow, didn't realize that. In Indiana, not only can you not buy lottery tickets online, you can't use a credit card to buy them. Cash or debit only (though there are places that break that rule).

The National Right to Life Committee tries very hard to not be associated with the Republican Party in general, or specifically with politicians who do not balance their abortion views with being reasonable on social justice. The Republican Party has greatly distorted the true pro-life position. Every church I've ever been a part of has given a great deal of money to non-profit centers that provide pregnancy care, post-pregnancy care, and adoption placement help to women who can't financially afford to not have an abortion. I would never attend a church that didn't do this. True pro-life advocates cringe at the kind of things that come out of the mouths of people like Ted Cruz.
