Bloomberg Top -- The [US Department of Veteran Affairs] supervises hospitals, employs doctors, buys the medicine and pays the bills. Reid praises the program as “enormously popular” with patients. “If this is un-American, why did we choose it for America’s military veterans?” asks Reid, a Washington Post correspondent and National Public Radio commentator.

Действительно! У меня тот же самый вопрос!!

Bloomberg: For the first time in the eight-year conflict, a majority in the U.S. -- 51 percent -- believe the war in the impoverished, tribalized country isn’t worth fighting, a Washington Post-ABC News poll found this month. Shifting sentiment makes it harder for President Barack Obama (change and hope!) to dispatch additional troops for what he calls a “war of necessity” to prevent Afghanistan from again becoming a platform for terrorism.

Rasmussen reports: Fifty-one percent (51%) of American adults say alcohol is more dangerous than marijuana, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

Интересно, какой перевес требуется для отмены национальной идеи, укорененной подобно войне с терроризмом или наркотиками. 95%? 98%?

У нас в машине айпод с детскими произведениями (в основном советские пластинки с архлавера, [livejournal.com profile] hrisaor, плюс несколько американских аудиокниг) и музыкой. Вчера спрашиваю -- хотите музыку слушать, или истории?
- Историю!
- Какую именно?
- Про машины!
- Про какие еще машины?
- Ну, как машина сломалась и ее чинили!
- ????? вообще первый раз слышу, никаких идей.
Хорошо, жена сообразила: Read more... )

cato@liberty: In a novel approach to punishing men who attempt to hire prostitutes, Nashville and other cities are sending first-time offenders to a one-day class where they learn from former prostitutes, health experts, psychologists and law enforcement officers about “the risks of hiring a prostitute.”
