    So it'll be just like before, except you won't outright state that you won't answer simple questions.

      If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to listen, does it make a noise?

        It disturbs molecules. If "noise" is the excitation of aural sense organs in response, then by your description, no.

        There are profound antinomies, but that aint one of them.

              All but 16 Democrats vote present on a more extreme budget than Ryan's, forcing 120 Republicans to vote against their own budget to kill it.

                With our economy how it is, it's important that tax dollars are spent so that the horrible, just horrible, invasions of privacy such as this does not go on.

                  How is that even Constitutional? I suppose if they're government doctors, then maybe...otherwise, something about the doctors' rights to freedom of speech comes to mind. The 2nd Amendment isn't even in play.

                            They're coming after Olympia already.

                            Maine Republican Senate candidate Scott D’Amboise, who is challenging sitting Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe in the upcoming 2012 primary, called on Snowe to resign from her seat immediately.

                            D’Amboise issued a statement Tuesday morning calling on Snowe to resign after the U.S. Department of Justice joined a lawsuit against Education Management Corporation (EDMC), a company that has employed her husband, former Maine Gov. John McKernan, for the past 12 years. The suit alleges that EDMC had defrauded the government of financial aid funding.*

                            D’Amboise said Snowe has “directly benefited” from her husband’s financial activity, which he describes as, “defrauding of taxpayers, pocketing millions of dollars – millions of our hard earned tax dollars.” D’Amboise also said Snowe “became a millionaire with our money.”

                            “Olympia Snowe owes us two things – an explanation and a letter of resignation. Instead, she is in holed up in her ornate Washington, D.C. office refusing to explain what she knew and when she knew it,” D’Amboise said in his statement. “How can your spouse bring in millions of dollars without asking him how he was making all that money? Olympia is a smart lady. She had to know something was fishy about how her husband was doing business.”

                            D’Amboise, who considers himself a representative of the Tea Party movement, announced his official candidacy to challenge Snowe in the 2012 GOP primary in February 2010.

                              Meh. Snowe will swat that guy like a fly.

                                Left alone she might have decided to hang it up and not run in 2012. Now there's no way she's going to risk this little worm getting her seat.
