Another good boring article that really has nothing to do with the birth certificate issue but how both candidates are not very different from each other... Why Romney Is Raising the Birth Certificate Issue by Jacob G. Hornberger While the Obama camp and even some in the GOP ranks are upset with Mitt Romney for bringing up the issue of President Obama’s birth certificate, the reason Romney did it might well be that it’s the only issue on which he and Obama disagree. On all the fundamental issues, with the exception of abortion, the two candidates are on the same page. Take foreign poli

A cool story but supposedly not true... On July 20, 1969, commander of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module, Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon. His first words after stepping on the moon, "That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind", were televised to Earth and heard by millions. But just before he re-entered the lander, he made the enigmatic remark: "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky." Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet Cosmonaut. However, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs.

Lou, sorry to bore you again. No matter where you stand on the issues mentioned below, they are both the same, no matter how much you deny it. Where is the choice? Why should anyone vote for one over the other? Party affiliation? Race? One's less rich than the other? One might be a legal citizen of the US? This election, like most is like choosing between Coke or Pepsi. It doesn't matter. They are both bad for you... The following are 40 ways that Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are essentially the same candidate…. 1. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney both supported TARP. 2. Mitt Romney support

Ain't no difference twixt the two... The VP candidates agreed on 52 substantive bills Partisan politics drives us to look at differences. But during the time Rep. Paul Ryan served along side then-Sen. Joe Biden from 1999 to 2008, our VP candidates voted the same way on 52 substantive bills. Here are the 52 bills which the two candidates both supported: http://www.govtrack.us/blog/2012/08/15/vp-candidates-agreed-on-substantive-bills/

I was there last week and stayed at the Best Western on North Broadway. For three nights it cost us a total of $600 for three people. Nice place. They had a nice continental breakfast and was a short walk to the Red Line elevated train which was on Addison by Wrigley Field. I used my government employee discount and saved almost $100 a night. (Are you a teacher?)You park in the garage right next door and can access your car when ever you need it. Lots of bars and eating establishments within walking distance. There is a per day fee for parking but it is very convenient. Try Al's Italian beef s

In case you were wondering... SOCIAL SECURITY Social Security has been running a deficit ever since 2010. There is no trust fund. The trust fund is a pile of IOUs from the Treasury. Here is the wording from the 2012 report from the Trustees of Social Security. "The Department of the Treasury currently invests all program revenues in special non-marketable securities of the U.S. Government which earn a market rate of interest." Therefore, every time the trust fund sends an IOU back to the Treasury, the Treasury must borrow money to be able to send money to Social Security. The deficit i
