Right? What would you have seen over the last few years, speeches from James Earl Jones and Angela Lansbury or the 1,706th “Aren’t Movies Neat” montage?

Seductive, 17th-century bankruptcy fantasy...

Only if it feautres the old Rubio below and not the new, doughy, high heels wearing Rubio.

The gay sex thing, we only care, or at least I only care, when the issue of hypocrisy comes up. Like all the Marco Rubio gay rumors are totally fair because he’s working against gay rights so if he’s gay, why shouldn’t everyone know about it? It’s that much worse when a member of an oppressed minority helps in their…

For what it’s worth I am married to a service member. He does everything he can for his guys and does not sit around and complain about how “useless” they are or were. Sure there are plenty of people who aren’t fit for military service but the way you frame it sounds so condescending. Also if they were already in your…

He’s right, if the federal government was put in charge of the problem it would be fixed. I’m so tired of this American Libertarian anti government attitude that dominates the internet. The free market won’t fix this, micro government - drown it in a bath tub conservatives created this.

First, I think you’re missing the point. It’s a small amount.

It’s also not based on hot dog vendors and parking lot attendants, but they still get paid at least minimum wage. The game is also played by professional athletes, and not by the people who work in the offices of the franchise, who all also get paid a living wage. Your argument is invalid.

It’s been brought-en!

Since you posted this comment, it’s actually been slashed to $6.32 and a free basket of breadsticks with purchase of an entree.

These poor women can’t seem to catch a break; they’ve already seen their settlement get reduced by $1,000 between the headline and the first sentence of the post!
