    A serious question

    Isn't the whole purpose of being a Jazz fan is to **** Laker fans? First of all, as a general rule, never pass up booty. Second of all if it is "hot" booty, ride that train until you get tossed off, which you eventually will. This is a mandatory rule that must be followed under all costs...

    Penn State Pedophile Controversy

    Reading through that Grand Jury report is about as sickening as it gets. I have a feeling this is going to get much, much worse in terms of victims and the cover up.

    Occupy Wall Street

    While their message is all over the map, I think there is one central theme...."It's not fair." The "It's" ranges from "Dick Fuld should be in jail" to "I shouldn't have to pay back this student loan" to "The 1% has more money than me." Virtually everybody with a predisposition for...

    Occupy Wall Street

    How do the rich not pay the same amount of taxes? They pay more correct? Do you mean they don't pay enough? Do you really think that the size of the deficit actually effects the middle class? How so?

    Occupy Wall Street

    Sure, but that ship has sailed. Now, maybe increasing taxes on the "rich" for the purposes of funding a coast to coast infrastructure program? Very interesting. How many of the OWS crowd would be willing to move to Kansas and repair bridges to pay back their 150K loans?

    Occupy Wall Street

    Raising the capital gains isn't going to change anything for the middle class. The rich will either pay it or not pay it depending on their decision to sell an asset. They will be just less rich. Again that money flows to the treasury. How does that change the plight of the middle class or...
