... do we all know that? I'm pretty sure this a serious allegation made by several serious women.

He... is up for a lifetime nomination to the highest court in the land? A bit of pause seems warranted.

Yep -- have to find a way to undo Citizens United.

Really it's $5400 because you can give in both the primary and the general but that is semantics on this question. PAC's (where all Labor contributions come from, with its bank balance derived from VOLUNTARY contributions made by its members) are limited at $5k to federal candidates: https://transition.fec.gov/pages/brochures/contriblimitschart.htm

Labor union contributions is just the bundling of $3-5 a paycheck from lots of workers to allow them to amplify their voice as a unified force rather than individuals. Voluntary political contributions (which all union political contributions are) will never be made illegal and they shouldn't be. If we're arguing for corporations being people and being allowed to donate to political campaigns, unions are the least of our problems. Campaign finance is, though, the great underbelly that is ruining our politics. Citizens United opened floodgates that McCain-Feingold unintentionally started.

So much in CBB depends on the physical and mental development of young men year over year. I agree -- the predictions are futile. By the time they're in the NBA, the progression levels out and/or becomes more predictable.

I'm with you Mile -- Snowling is the man! You bring so much to HSN. Thanks for being a member here.

Sometimes yes. I want to eat a burger in peace.

The way we eat is doing untold things to our bodies. Girlfriend is a nutritionist. It scares me.

Would be tough to fire a man for his wife doing this...

Each side will have hard limits -- and that's okay. What we need is to be more agreeable to compromise in the middle. Accept the other side's hard limits, work to find the areas of common agreement in the middle, and find SOLUTIONS.

I think both sides of this debate need to accept that anything is better than nothing.

I'm not sure any person has a solution -- but we have to admit there is a problem. I think we also have to be willing to TRY some solutions, accept they don't work, and try other ones. The only failure is trying nothing. Sickening.

I was just thinking about doing that, Rico! Great minds think alike.

We just upped some of our backend defenses against this type of spam. I'll give you a shout if that doesn't solve it, Rico. One way or another we will be able to put a stop to it -- lots of tools out there these days to fight these kinds of problems.
