I guess we can look at it this way.  WH tours @ $18,000 per week = $1 million per year.  Obama's weekend golf trip = $1 million.  It's a wash!

how does Wilson look?

they sound pissed

the golf tours, yes

Nice quote from Tony Villar:

"So I'm going to affiliate with a think tank to kind of rethink what I think is the right road ahead."

16% voter turnout in L.A election

Sorry, you're right. Citizens in states that are in play, and some other wealthy citizens who make big campaign contributions.

As long as we can't afford White House tours for the public, we can't afford presidential golf junkets.

Well, two years out of four he's on the campaign trail, but then he only interacts with citizens in states that are in play.  The other citizens don't matter anyway.

If only there was some technology, some means by which the president could see other parts of the country without leaving the White House.

unless it's his own money

Oh, do we trust the CBO now?

No, but I have higher confidence that they can predict the amount of revenue for 2013, than I have for their ability to predict the cost of Obamacare over the next 20 years.

It must have me confused with someone else; I'm seeing ads for "Transformers The Ride - 3D" and it is extremely doubtful that I ever googled this.

On the mobile side, in general it works great but really there are too many "pinned" topics at the top, you need to scroll awhile to get down to the recent topics.  I would like to see a reduction in the number of pinned topics, especially if you are also going to include ads at the top of the page.

Lovin' it so far, the problems I was having with extreme slowness appear to be resolved. Thanks Chuck for listening to all the feedback.

Seems much better, thanks Chuck

Ideally they will also halt Obama's tours to Florida for golf with Tiger woods etc.  Might save a few bucks there.

Who doesn't tip?  Like this is a huge problem.  Here's another slogan:

If you're not getting tipped then you suck as "waitstaff."

Federal revenue will return to its pre-recession levels in 2013, according to projections from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), setting a record for the most money the government has ever taken in.

http://cnsnews.com/news/article/cbo-federal-revenue-set-record-2013

In its latest Budget and Economic Update, the CBO forecasts that federal revenue will top $2.7 trillion in 2013, slightly higher than the $2.6 trillion the government collected in 2007, when the last recession officially began.

Government revenues had fallen by nearly $500 billion during the recession to $2.1 trillion in 2009, contributing to the $1.5 trillion deficit that year. However, federal revenues have been recovering since the recession ended in June 2009, and the CBO now projects that they will slightly eclipse their pre-recession peak.

In fact, the $2.7 trillion in revenue will be the most money the federal government has collected in history.

Even with all the unemployment, all the people who don't pay federal income tax, revenues are at a record high.

Maybe we have a spending problem.

Angels rank 30th out of 30 teams in team ERA, AVG, WHIP but that's not what concerns me.

I don't live in LA but I actually do care about this

Speculation locally is that this is all about helping Ryan ease into retirement.

Ease into retirement? Don't you mean, forced into retirement?

Nice

Ok I admit it

Major league hitters would have eaten him alive.

Chewed him up and spit him out.
