BD must be hankering for a real cup of coffee this morning after drinking those teeny Euro coffees. They bring it to you and you think "That's it?" And if you ask for a "cafe Americano" they react with disgust, and just add hot water and put it in a bigger cup.
Why women have sex: Surber. Sheesh. I thought it was because they were getting damp and crazed with desire for my magnificent body, my Apollonian face, my endless charm and wit, and my six-pack abs... and that it is a gentleman's duty to meet her overheated physical need.

People Power. A quote:
For a while now, the message from Washington has been that we know what's good for the public, whether the public likes it or not. One after another, both parties have attempted to foist a series of grand reforms on a skeptical populace--in areas ranging from Social Security and immigration to energy and health care. Politicians have made decisions affecting millions of lives without accountability and oversight. The upshot has been more government, more debt, and--coming soon to a 1040 form near you--more taxes. No wonder the public is anxious.

Related, from Powerline:
Obama portrays himself as a visionary, able to view the petty disputes that preoccupy the rest of the world from a higher plane, divorced from anything as banal as America's interest. That posture is offensive enough. But what if, like so many extreme leftists who came before him, he's just a man without a moral compass that points anywhere other than in direction of sharing the wealth and increasing government power?

Am Thinker:
...what actually is preventing Democrats from finally realizing their authoritarian dream of controlling the multi-trillion dollar healthcare industry?
The Democrat leadership is afraid to pass the bill unilaterally because, once voters realize they were duped, the Democrats will need Republicans to blame. Democrats reportedly are targeting the usual suspects for defection, Maine Senators Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe. But so far, Senator McCain appears to be the only Republican lawmaker gullible enough to be lured into that political wood chipper.
