I have to hand it to MSN. From the evidence of the commentary, they have successfully found a way to PROFIT from the name calling, hate mongering, blathering, b*tching, blaming, know-it-all masses willing to express views that will in no way improve the economy of the nation.

Great point. I know what makes a neighborhood SUCK (so maybe do the opposite). Sucky 'hoods don't cut the grass, don't trim the curbs and bushes, leave dog doo behind, don't contribute anything, blather about politics/religion, do the porch-monkey thing, keep barking dogs, act selfish selfish selfish, and care nothing ...more

The gub-mint tried killing me during the Nam days (yes junior, they can draft you whenever they want to) and during my working years I avoided death at several junctures. (Get out of the traffic if you want to live.)  Meanwhile the earth's human population grows beyond scary and well into crazy numbers with no sign of ...more

Then the banks impose little rules on how you can get your money back, and banks charge fees if you break thos...more

Another name-caller....the surest sign of the right wing. And the surest sign of future, albeit avoidable, fiscal pain. Pay attention to these who badmouth the truth. They are the reason we're where we are.

Insurance IS socialism. Communism if you think about it. (To those with need/ from those with ability.) Anyway, insurance sucks funds from medicine, industry, health, construction, name it. All that money goes to a smarmy middle guy who builds the tallest buildings in most towns, buys the law, the legislature, politica...more
