Yea!! Has anyone petitioned him to bring back Stella's and the Gaiety?

My eyes are not what they used to be. When I first saw this title I read it as 'John Kerry Blo' and assumed we were getting a drug expose' of our SecState.

Where is the word honor mentioned in The Capitalist Manifesto?

This is a no-brainer. Some day historians will look back on this War On Drugs policy and especially criminalizing marijuana as one of the dumbest things humans ever did -- right behind killing the planet ecosystem with greenhouse gases. Marijuana ought to be marketed like cigarettes and controlled like alcohol.

Look before you leap. Taxes and maintenance are gonna be ball busters.

Can't imagine living in any of them with the possible exception of Louisville. Nice countryside just outside of town. Even so, still way down on my list. Lexington KY is beautiful too.

2014's Most Affordable Cities For Living On A Budget, According To Apartment Guide For many Americans, a new year means a new budget -- especially if a move is in your future. And if you're thinking of heading to a big city in 2014 while keeping your resolution of saving some serious cash, cities like New York (where an apartment can cost you more than a castle) just won't make the cut. Lucky for us, Apartment Guide took a second to look at their internal listing data and the Cost of Living Index by The Council for Community and Economic Research to determine the metros with the lowest rent AND lowest cost of living. Sounds like a win-win in our book. See original article at: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/07/2014-most-affordable-cities_n_4554763.html

Right with you Charlie.

One man's trash is another man's treasure. You say tomayto, I say tomahto... or maybe schlamassel on another day.

Bomer is out. He came out a few years back.

None of them were on my list but I'm a bit surprised by Miami being so tarnished. Even if it weren't Ft Lauderdale is much better for retirees IMO.

7 Worst Places To Retire In America | By Ashley Neglia SPECIAL FROM Grandparents.com Based on high crime, poor air quality, natural disasters, and more, we rated places you might want to rethink spending your golden years. St. Louis, MO Getty The Gateway to the West and home of Anheuser-Busch is a beautiful all-American city, but if you're retiring, there are a few things to keep in mind. With high violent and property crime rates (it ranks as the second-most dangerous city in the U.S.), poor air quality, and nearly a 20 percent vacancy rate for homes and apartments (the national average is 11.38 percent), St. Louis might need to be crossed off your retirement list. Las Vegas, NV Getty Sin City might be a tempting retirement option for people who are drawn to the city’s glitz and glam. However, with one of the highest foreclosure rates in the country, particularly when it comes to bank-seized “vampire” and homeowner-abandoned “zombie” foreclosures, Las Vegas might not be as attractive as it seems, according to RealtyTrac. While the roulette wheels spin, the Las Vegas economy continues to suffer with negative job growth and an unemployment rate that’s 6 percent higher than the national average, according to Sperling’s BestPlaces. Worse, though, is locals’ poor access to doctors. Only 69.7 percent of Las Vegans have a usual source of health care, which is much lower than the national average at 82.4 percent, according to a study by the Commonwealth Fund. Modesto, CA Tom Hilton/flickr With access to beaches, mountains and some of the best wineries in the country, the Golden State might seem like an appealing place to retire. Unfortunately, not all California cities are made equal. With one of the highest foreclosure rates in the U.S., Modesto’s proximity to Yosemite National Park isn’t enough to make up for its failing economy and high air pollution rate – it’s ranked sixth most-polluted city in the country, according to the American Lung Association’s State of the Air report. Atlanta, GA Getty Southern charm might be enticing, but there are a few things to think about with Atlanta. With public transportation ranking as one of the country’s worst, Atlanta and its non-pedestrian-friendly streets are difficult to navigate without a car. Beyond the high violent and property crime rates, Atlanta gets 54 inches of rain per year—a full foot and a half more than the national average—and was even ranked number one in a Sperling’s BestPlaces study measuring the most irritation-prone cities due to pest control, average heat index, and overall traffic congestion. Houston, TX Getty If rest and relaxation are among your retirement must-haves, you may want to rethink Houston. Residents of the number two most-irritated city in the U.S. report sleepless nights and long commutes, according to a study conducted by Sperling’s BestPlaces. Plus, living in Texas means always being prepared for the occasional natural disaster, including tornadoes, floods, wildfires, and coastal hurricanes, making it one of the most natural disaster-prone states in the country. Miami, FL Getty With its hot weather, proximity to beaches, and vibrant nightlife, Miami might seem like a retirement dream. Unfortunately, the Magic City is one of the most dangerous cities for pedestrians, according to Transportation for America, suffers from high crime rates, and even has a higher-than-average cost of living to boot! Little Rock, AR Getty Little Rock isn’t only the hometown of President Bill Clinton, it’s also one of the most dangerous small cities in America and has one of the highest murder rates in the country, according to Law Street Media. Beyond its high crime rate, Little Rock still has some additional health and transit challenges. Although it ranks high in water quality with a score of 89—100 is best—its poor air quality may cause or aggravate respiratory conditions in older adults. What’s more, even though its downtown is walkable, the city has few public transit options and is mainly a car-dependent area, according to Walk Score.

Guess I got confused.

Some things are immutable. Iron also comes to mind.

I agree he did a great service. He may also have done some real damage beyond exposing and embarrassing the US. I'm not in a position to know and remain to be convinced. Real embarrassment is evidence that actions were ill-concieved. Exposure of capabilities weakens our intelligence efforts overall but overstepping by using them against US citizens is the price that must be paid for bad judgment and a free soceity.

Don't think he is the face of South Carolina these days.

Looks very tasty but not sure the three large geeks would like this recipe.

I thought a 'selfie' was like a game of solitaire, but in place of the deck of cards, played with a

You got one part right: Garmin did fuck Oz.

I know it is hard to believe but some of us are design and fashion impaired. However I can cook and make beer.

His acting has always been secondary to his screen presence, IMO. Keanu's attraction to the straight girls and gay boys has attenuated with his advancing age. Sad but I can testify to that -- at least the gay boy part, if I may use the term very loosely.

It must take you a year to get through customs even when they are not harassing you.

A shame Santa didn't leave him under my tree.
