Detroit was not destroyed by politicians bowing to union bosses, as Fox News has told you. Decades of bad public policy, such as building huge super highways that destroyed city neighborhoods and made it easy for people to move to the suburbs - and then pay no taxes to support the city they continued to work in - was…

Yes, it's substantial. The area of the city is huge and the population has dropped from 2 million to about 700K.

Damn! And I was so excited!

It would be amusing to watch.

Mine, which was a 100 years, ago cost $1000 and for years afterwards people said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Many of my friends are musical and there was a piano in the bar of the reception hall. One of them got on the piano and another started singing. This went on for hours as the guests drank…

Then the asshats should elope. Why anyone would want to go to the wedding of such a bitch is beyond me anyway.

Listen, schmucks, if you can't afford a $200 a plate wedding without shaking down your guests, then DON'T HAVE ONE! What morons!

Egyptian women have been complaining about this for a long, long time.

What a wonderful tribute. Losing your mother is one of the hardest things for any person to go through, whether you had a good relationship, or not. After it happens, the world shifts, and you are forever changed. Stay strong, Stephen, stay strong.

Carole Radziwill was quoted in a New York Times interview as emphatically denying that RHONYC was scripted:

The answer is very simple. Women should not spend any money on games. If you don't like the color of our money, we can, and will continue, to take it elsewhere.

"Around here" a high school student developed a sensor that was patentable. And she's made money off of it. It does happen. I can't imagine any lab "around here" giving up a patent - it's way to competitive. They would only do it if the student truly did invent it on her own with only a little help from the lab.

Oh, please....you don't give them an idea that could result in a patent potentially worth millions and you know it.

If you are giving away ideas like that to high school students then you would be in trouble. As someone who has advised high school science fair students, and who has worked in a research lab, I find it hard to believe the person who runs your lab would let you do that. We never would've allowed a high school…

I hope she has patented it.

Unfortunately, violent people who want control over others are attracted to the police and the military as professions. And that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Maybe some psychological testing to root them out may be in order.

Actually, soccer is extremely popular in most third-world countries and the kids will often make balls out of any material they can find. Having a real soccer ball would make them very happy.

I have been to Lincoln City, Oregon and the traffic is horrendous. It doesn't surprise me that this happened. I feel sorry for the guy, but this was predictable.

I think anyone who thinks this way should be neutered. The thought of you reproducing is horrifying.

Yep, I understand this completely. I was blonde and pretty when I was young, had a very high IQ, and was never taken seriously. It can be very difficult to take.
