Break Even Analysis

The author of this article, James Hagerty, should follow-up with additional research by comparing these types of apprentice type programs to those offered in Germany. I think there is a lot we can learn from their job training, retraining, and job-subsidized retention programs. Why can Germany have such a good reputation for building world-class products in a high-wage country and prosper. I think the answer may be that we More
Normal Heart Rate

Stupid is as stupid says: "You say idiotic things like "if the beta blocker is not blunting your heart rate" without knowing what the normal heart rate of the patient is. You are clearly working from a baseline of almost no knowledge, with what little knowledge you have having been gained via Google."
Beta blockers in lower dosages can be used for essential tremor (propanolol), rape victims, and other anxiety related issues. More
Aryan Race

Well Adolf loved his German shepherds, so I guess Dunn could consider him ok. And he wanted the best for the Aryan Race!Again, I agree with Mr. Ketchum, and would urge Mrs. Garik to follow Mr. Ketchum's laudable example, and pursue a more assiduous study of history, wherein she will discover an endless array of examples elaborating, amplifying, corroborating, and verifying the many, many cogent points found in Mr. Ketchum's More

Dossevi,
With no disrespect intended, if you truly find Obama's record documents that he's anything more than the personification of evil, the quintessence of immoral and the embodiment of incompetence, I would appreciate being advised just what it is that could even obliquely cause you to believe that.
That Obama found it appropriate to even consider pursuing the White House without any meaningful administrative experience More

Why this and not cut off foreign aid? Pakistan is not our friend; we are giving so much money to countries that hate this country yet we do not care for our American citizens. We let the illegals come in by the millions going to our universities at the costs like our citizens pay, health care, food stamps, and they steal from us and kill and commit other very serious crimes (the illegals have killed several policemen in Houston More
Common Stereotypes

1. I have no doubt that many soccer players have tremendous skill at what they do...Most quality punters/FG kickers will have similar accuracy. Sure they miss sometimes, but so will a soccer player. However most of your points made about football aren't true for most situations. I think both soccer and football players are highly skilled in their chosen art.
2. But from your strategy section I can tell that you probably More

Probably the opposite will happen, as the Greeks are the hardest working and the Germans more or less the laziest in the OECD (including 30 days avg vacation a year !)

In 1999 Germany was an economic mess ("the sick man of Europe"). It deserves credit for its revival due to its technology and innovation (as the Greeks "deserve" blame for their lousy performance after More

Tribal allegiances have been the key to Libya's future from the beginning. The first WSJ article on the rebels (link below) recognized this point. I hope our own spooks are on top of this and just aren't talking, but I suspect they are as clueless as usual.
The French are way ahead of us. That's due in part to their experience in North Africa, especially their own battle with Algerian terrorism in the seventies. But it's More
Stockings And High Heels

What more could go wrong? You could be sitting next to the 60+ year old transvestite traveling only in women's blue lingerie, black stockings and high heels on a U.S. Airways flight from Florida to Phoenix. Sadly I'm not joking.I hate Barrie.
"But no one is certain what made greenhouse gases fluctuate in the past." Get it Barrie? It's unknown, unproven just like your "Chicken Little" theory which I realize you have a right More
Extemporaneous Speech

Liberal is not supposed to mean proudly ignorant and Obama and his supporters are trying to make that the new reality.
It's quite apparent those defending Obama have no understanding of how large his gulf of knowledge is because they share a similar one. Nobody cares about verbal gaffes. But saying you're a lifelong fan of the Chicago White Sox and not being able to name one, saying you have campaigned in 57 states and you More
