"DEACON54- Time to move forward, the Fox party is not the majority just because they yell louder. We have a dem majority for a reason. There is always a serious resistence to change, be it women's voting rights, social secuity, medicare, or civil rights, this country has always survived the change and prospered. " Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness", for me I'm happiest when I'm healthy, and that pesky little life part, health care is a big part of it."

Ted Kennedy joins his two brothers at Arlington Cemetery

Summary:
"WASHINGTON - Ted Kennedy followed his brothers Jack and Bobby on Saturday from the pinnacle of politics to Arlington National Cemetery with a major difference - Ted's cortege was stopping at the Senate."

Some of The Best Comments:
"aviator21 - On the whole, Ted Kennedy's legislative acts did more harm than good to the poor. His advocacy of the socialistic redistribution of wealth was nothing more than pandering so as to build his constituency. His legislation locked people into a cycle of poverty and government dependency, all the while making himself look like the people's loving benefactor. Kennedy was indeed very generous, but with other people's money."

"lamartrotti - Most of the posters here probably don't know that their very lives have been altered and enhanced and made more bearable by many of Senator Kennedy's many inovative and humane bills. Yes, it's great to critize when not one of these losers will at the end of their lives say that they've contributed to humanity or the american way of life. They'll simply fade away. God bless Senator Kennedy and now he can rest in peace knowing that he's left a rich legacy for the american people. As for the rest of you. EAT THIS!"

Seven things from 'Mad Men' that should make a comeback

NJ.com by Colleen Stone
 

Summary:

Saying I like "Mad Men" would be like saying I like beer: Polite, but not quite accurate. Since watching Seasons 1 and 2 via Netflix, I have become obsessed with the story, the characters and the lifestyle portrayed. "

One of the Best Comments From the Article on APP.com:

"Mad Men had no technological wonders: no cell phones, no blackberries, no texting.

When you left for the day, for the weekend or on holiday or vacation, you were truly "out of the office."

Those are days we need to go back to: you were "out of the office". Nobody had the technological capacity to bug you at the beach, your shopping trip, etc -- there was no way you could be at a boss' beck and call after that.

Let's all go back to being "out of the office."
