Permian red sandstone and Pennsylvanian shale under a veneer of topsoil. Digging wouldn’t be easy, but consider the human cost.

Of course. Dig for coffers, soak it, and scoop it out. Easy.

I guess requiring an underground storm shelter for a federally-subsidized home loan would be an intrusion by the “nanny-state”.

Well, they devalue the woman in favor of those fetuses, so they’ve clarified that position. For their fellow citizens, it’s down to a cost-benefit question, and they don’t see much benefit in anyone but themselves.

When finally asked about his vote on Hurricane Sandy relief, Senator Daniel Imhoff R-OK) said “that was completely different”, that there were amendments attached to that legislation. But they attach riders to every piece of legislation. If any riders are attached for anything outside of the area affected by this tornado, the bill should be voted down. If they want to be petty and cruel, so be it for them.

I noticed you didn’t highlight the passages following “Prudent”. And, as I recall, the Declaration of Independence is not incorporated in the Constitution, either.

In the American Civil War, the Southern States committed armed insurrection and attempted secession. They were not loyal citizens defending rights against a tyrannical government, but slaveholding tyrants attacking this country’s fundamental principles of freedom and inalienable human rights. Like sentiments such as exhibited by the current president of the NRA are similarly violently, villainously [...]

It would have been good to provide a link to the TP article. If one reads the piece, it mentions that subsequent reports gave details of the operation while a CIA operative was embedded. I thought that there was a professional agreement that journalists would not compromise the safety of agents in the field, Valerie Plame notwithstanding. And the subpoenas were legal under the wide aegis of the Patriot Act. You can blame Republicans pushing in the heat of 911 for that. Like the IRS having to defend the scrutiny of a plethora of faux “non-partisan social welfare” Tea Party organizations as a result of Citizens United, mandated by Congress, after the scrutiny by the Service of liberal groups and the NAACP during the Bush administration, or the debacle of Fast and Furious, liberals in a fit of self-loathing are missing the opportunity to rise up and slap the right down. If conservatives are tying a noose for America, instead of playing nice we should use it around their necks.

I also want to remind that those Tea Party 501c4 applications are the result of Citizens United.

As for the subject of obesity: Instead of foraging for nuts and berries or chasing deer and rabbits for sustenance, we sit all day at desks, in cars, on couches, usually stressed out. We eat salty, sugary, starchy, fatty, pre-processed or fast-food crap. Our meat is laced with hormones, our vegetables are genetically altered, our “amber waves of grain” are now stubby little modified gliadin bombs. I do not wonder why Americans are so obese, or turn to surgery in desperation.

Couldn’t care less about his girth. Hurricane Sandy still hasn’t convinced him of the flaws in his party or his ideology.

Economics has had a long, dismal history of deference to the moneyed class, in the mistaken belief that the wealthy have a special capacity beside greed. But economics is a science; prostitution is a scurrilous trade. America must stop the Reagan-insituted practice of prostituting its sciences, and run the prostitutes out of politics and economics.

You forgot the left also wants to invest in jobs works programs to get enormous numbers of Americans, debilitated by the economic idiocy of conservative economic frauds and propagandists like Rogoff and Reinhart, once again productively injecting billions, if not trillions of dollars back into the economy, raising the revenues of private and public sectors [...]

Unions gutted, jobs outsourced, politicians all bought off, revolving doors between executives, board members and lobbyists and aforementioned politicians. If you want dignity, respect or rights in America, you’d better find a way to win the lottery.
