Not looking for a debate, but I'm curious as to what it means. I remember it getting thrown around in the past but not as much anymore. Can anyone clear it up for me? Thanks

Today's LA Times front page article - for a dozen years this hidden surplus existed. Donations were solicited to keep parks open. As I said before, it is hard to have faith when the people that run our state have their heads in the sand. Or elsewhere.

Who thinks that a successful business man has something to hide in his taxes? He apparently is or his money advisors are not very organized. Surely MRs tax advisors would have tax work done soon after Dec 31, and definitely by Ap 15. Unlessssss, MR is on a fiscal year. On MR's wealth, one thinks that he...

What a relief. I often feel like screaming when conservatives go the ingratiating, aw-shucks--nice-guy route, grinning like fools while a liberal is slicing and dicing them to be put aside for breakfast--people like Stephanie Cutter, who is one scary lady.

You do know that, Klic & Klac, NPR's CarTalk, is ending this fall. DS was brought up on CarTalk, still knows the 800 number (since year 2, and one of the first indications that he had a fantastic memory). Please donate to NPR so that they can find suitable replacement to Tom and Ray.

This is an issue to me that is astounding.
