Yeah, the IRS allows for overhead costs. But gathering donations with false information is charity donation fraud.

Oh, but now it has the QLine! Disrupting traffic and serving no purpose but to drive people in a straight line between locations where it’s more convenient to walk, IF you had a reason to actually walk that path, which you most likely do not.

Except Eric Trump continued to promote the golf fundraisers as all money is going to the charity, and continued to promote that Trump was donating the course. So he lied, and defrauded people to gain charitable donations, which in turn were paid to Trump’s org.

At my company, you start accruing monthly, so like 3.some-odd-hours per month, with a max of 1 week off by EOY. So sure, you could take your 3 hours off during your first month if you wanted, but you don’t get any real time until it adds up.   The second year, you start off with a week to use by EOY.

Yeah, gotta agree. Plus, this kid has no experience, so he has no idea how the ‘real world’ works. After almost 20 years with the same company, I’m happy to get 3% raises. More than that and I’d — wait, not sure we’ve ever gotten more than that for just annuals that aren’t promotion-related.

Exactly. Just like he left tons of lots around the Fox empty, then would present himself as the only person who was trying to bring back Detroit... while he charged $25 an event per car for parking. Sure, maybe Detroit’s downtown ‘renewal’ is in small part due to him, but it’s because it’s NEED for ‘renewal’ was due…

I live in the area, and I bet $100 the reason there are so many ppl waitlisting for season tickets for the Pistons is so they get the season ticket holder benefit of first chance to purchase tickets to events and concerts held in the arena.

From my perspective, if someone is using a word that hurts you, they should not be using it. If I called you a potato, and it hurt your feelings to be called a potato, and that just made me say, “Hey, everybody, look at the potato!” then potato is a “bad word.” It isn’t the word itself, it’s the feeling behind the…

Dad, is that you? :)

I’m 43, and I stay up nights worrying about things that happened as a teenager. So yeah, I don’t think it’s related to age.

Right, I could think about it for 7 seconds, maybe take a 5 second pause, but then I expect to be thinking about it for another 7 seconds, and on and on and on.

The NFL and NBA would likely just partner with BAM the same way PGA and NHL have. If there are already services in place that have perfected how to distribute your content online, why would you bother recreating the wheel? It would cost one of those organizations a fortune to start from scratch, and that’s if they…

Everyone in Michigan would say these people are dirty, stinkin’ liars.

Due to my love of Craig Ferguson, I feel the need to point out to all of you that (however cute the shirt) actual flamingos stink. They smell terrible. Why? Because they pee on their legs to stay cool.

I can completely freak myself out in my own above-ground pool and convince myself it’s somehow possible for a shark or alligator to have gotten in there with me.

Or your siblings’ children, or your neighbors’ children, or anyone else. It’s a crazy implication, but really it’s just a way for people to try to make you keep your opinions to yourself. Ridiculous.

What is wrooooong with you, Gita? SPIKE WAS THE HOTTEST! I’d totally risk it.

It’s not, it’s just proof that at some point you were able to pass the driver’s test. You don’t have to be a citizen. You just have to prove residency and identity, neither of which would include photos, so could easily be faked.

I’m not a mom, and I get that push back from parents, too. “You’re not a parent, so education concerns don’t affect you.” Uh, right. Even regardless of how my home value is affected by the quality of the school district, I am personally affected by the quality of the CHILDREN in my neighborhood, and the education…
