I have seen the original TRUE GRIT and also the newest with Jeff Bridges and I have to say that with all due respect to Bridges, JOHN WAYNE did win The Oscar for best actor on this and WAYNE did a far superior job with that part than that of Bridges. As a matter of fact, I was quite disappointed in Bridges' performance feedback with this one. Even though it has made money in worldwide receipts, that does not make for an Oscar Winning Performance. My vote would go to COLIN More

When I signed up for my Local Gov job they told me the exact opposite..they said if I wanted this job, I had to pay for the union, whether I wanted to or not, and I was part of the collective bargaining whether I wanted to be in it or not. PERIOD. If I wanted to NOT be in it, then I could not work for them. Now, is there a change management plan about to happen? If so, I would welcome KEEPING that money. I need it. The Union does nothing but side with the management in More

It is refreshing to read such a clear definition of fear of the role of the government when it comes to business. America is about equal opportunity, not equal outcomes. As for the plan itself, many have scoffed here that 9-9-9 would soon become 35-35-35. Such corruption of any tax system is possible and only electing decent leaders matters in the end. I would rather err on the side of creating such a reform than deny it for fear of future abuse. As for Mr. Cain, while More

It seems if a man ins't devoting himself towards a woman 24/7, he's a useless child, less then a man, that is what some of us take issue with. All I see from this is trying to shame men into being men of the past, but if there no traditional women of the past who are deserving of such devotion, and if there is no reciprocity, why even bother? Its great you support your man's hobbies and interest, thats what makes a relationship advice for women last. The author, just seems More

The premise of most uses you list are wrong: onions and garlic - having them around means you are eating disorder symptoms them as well as whatever else you do with them. Peroxide - flush your sinuses out with a diluted solution, not your ears. Herbal remedies - these primarily fix nutritional deficiencies rather than work as treatments - elderberries are wonderful, so is sage tea. Flu and cold symptoms no longer bother me - I still get them - but they really have no effect. More

@Ken: The fact you have never heard of anyone writing a check to their state for sales quotes tax on an internet sale is the whole issue. The states passed sales and use taxes--not just sales taxes. If the tax is not collected by the seller, then the tax is supposed to be paid by the buyer. All that is accomplished by allowing Amazon and others to not collect the taxes is create tax cheats out of all the states citizens who buy products on line. Asfor your never having More

If you are going to laon money or extend lots of eliminate credit card debt to people who have financial trouble and aren't responsible then don't be suprised when they go to the congress person and complain. It always amazed me that when I was in college with just a part time job and lots of debt that I was eligible for a credit card with a 10k limit. At that point in life, I had never held a job that paid more than $8 / hr. At that salary, I had a credit card limit more More

We have friends in Norway grief and sorrow were part of a wedding there a few years ago. That beautiful land is upstaged only by the character of its people, a kind, brave, and peace-loving people. Our hearts and prayers go out to all Norwegians in this time of great sorrow and shock. It breaks my heart to know that the madness that found its way to the US, the UK, the Mideast, etc. has found a foothold on your shores. We do not have the answer here, but know that we share More

For many seniors there will be no retirement. A few by choice but most by need. The issue is there will be no jobs for them to retire to or from. Like it or not many will age and can neither physically or medically handle jobs if they were even there. Those on the right (and I used to be one of them) either in business or claiming to be Christians (claiming is not the same as being) serve their allegiance not to America but $$. This is the reality of where America stands. More

@ James, Stop with all this common sense! How am I going to be able to get a world-wide commission subsidized and organized if you keep undermining my wealth transfer objectives. We need complicated, conflicting, superficial and expensive slogan ideas! Do you realize that your obviously sane ideas are taking the food out of the mouths of the children of lobbyists! If we start pursuing smart ideas we will be forced to enact worker retraining programs within the federal bureaucracy More
