lol, really, derfetuss?  That worked in his first year, but we're in Year V now.  C'mon.   :P

Derspeiss prefers failed businessmen as Presidents.

It'd be nice to at least have someone who doesn't view the private sector with contempt.

Maybe things would be different if it didn't try so hard to earn so much of it.  :P

This would be more of an issue if they were actually held the private sector in contempt or they were running for CEO.  Now it would be nice if Republicans wouldn't hold government in contempt, at least when they want to run it.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Hmm, turns out "shooting through the door" isn't very good advice. Who'd a'thunk it??

I seem to recall one of the pro-gun people who testified in front of Congress used as an example of importance of guns protecting the home a woman who did this.

If Barack Obama wants a cleaner world and a richer America, he should allow natural-gas exports.

'In America gas sells for around $3.40 per million British thermal units (mBTU). In Europe it costs around $12. In gas-poor Asia, spot cargoes change hands for as much as $20 per mBTU. Since it costs roughly $5 per mBTU to liquefy the stuff, ship it and turn it back into gas, America could be making a fortune from gas exports. To the extent that such exports displaced dirty coal, they would also help curb global warming.'

That's already going to happen. Obama doesn't have to allow it. LNG facilities are already in the pipeline. Putin hates it because we're going to break Gazprom's hold over the European energy market.

Will the sequester cause DC real estate prices to plummet?

:D
I really think it's happening. A 2-bedroom townhouse's asking price I have been monitoring fell $15,000 in the past 10 days:

Good news for the Euros, I would think, to have another large supplier.

Well the House bill failed to pass the Senate. So is the world ending now?

The president oddly started backtracking on his doom & gloom scenario today.  He said the effects won't be felt immediately :D
He's wrong, you'll see the immediate affects as drones patrolling over the US start falling from the sky because of seacrester.

But I think it will be 2.59% fewer drones due to the unfortunate budget cuts.
