It's true!
I was talking to wife about this at the Chili's by the Prudential building. 
"How come everyone running is super Rich?"
"You need money to run for President, what with Campaign adds, and all the flying ect..."
"But Why?"
Why couldn't the FCC give airtime to those running? But Mark, the FCC doesn't have the power to do that
B.S. They will fine a show thats been of the air for 4 years for showing a bare ass, they tell you what and what cant be put on air. They make sure that a certain amount of educational TV is on TV or they fine people or threaten to take away their license.Basically if 4 people are running, you give each of them 30sec-1 minute of prime time Airtime for a commercial. They show those 5 times during prime time, thats only 20 minutes.ORThey arrange for 30 minute debate (with commercials, making it only 20 minutes total)
We already give Federal Money to those running. Why not make it all Federal Dollars. Its a drop in the bucket compared to the money we waste now. Also it might keep things alittle more honest.We need to cut the purse strings of the special interest groups and large companies who fund the political process,
We need it so that you dont have to be a Clinton or a Bush or a Kennedy to become President.  Why couldn't we have middle or lower class President. You shouldn't have to be married to Ketchup Mogul to be able to run. Your daddy shouldn't have to be a CIA DIrector with oil fields for you to get in the running.
Abe Lincoln was not a Rich Man, he grew up a poor farmer whose family had to move many  times due to economic problems and land right issues. But through alot of hard work he became President. he was even his own Campaign Manager.
With the way things are going today in 10 years I expect the president to be chosen by an AMerican Idol Sing off or through mud 'wrasslin

You wont throw a parade for your Team because they didnt win? Nevermind the almost perfect season, never mind getting to the Superbowl. Nevermind losing by alittle bit and not alot, you just give up on them.
Thats like spanking your kid for an A-

You owe them a parade.
And the fact that you didnt makes YOU the sore losers.

What if a Candidate for President was an Atheist? With all the Jibba-Jabba about Obama/Romney's Religon and how it affects their duties as President, why not choose a man who has no Restrictions because of his faith.
Its not as if any president in History has not ordered or had his actions lead to the death/murder of others.  Though Thall Shall Not Kill

I doubt most of the Candidates can name all 10 commandments. I doubt alot of you could without cheating and googling it.
Fox news pull a colbert and ask the Prez Candidates what the 10 commandments are

That clip of Colberts is here by the way

Can anyone tell me what Bill Clinton'church is called? Can anyone tell me how it has affected his being President?

What about John Kerry has his being a Catholic made him a better senator? Or Ted Kennedy? Has he been a good Catholic? 

Does it just look good on paper?
But Mark, they dont have Moral Values or the teachings of the bible/torah/Battlefield Earth as a guide. BS. You can use those things as a guide but the doesnt mean you have  believe in them. I've read many books with good guidelines for living a better life, but that doesnt mean I believe that Watership Down is a true story.

Can anyone give me a good reason why not? Anyone?

Any Boston/MASS related issue that you feel isnt being covered? Other than Sports or Snow.
I worry about everything, so sometimes I like to know I'm not alone

Who won the war?
Nobody has said "Boo" about Kwanzaa.
Hanukkah came and went without a dradle to be seen.
Christmas season begin around August with Wal Mart, Target, K-Mart, Petsmart, any sort of Mart, Depot or Big Box Store started putting out Christmas crap.
Santa Hats for the Dogs, and Tacky Lawn glow in the dark nativity scenes.

Last Christmas my wife went out of town and I got the Flu. So she was enjoying Tex-Mex in Dallas (something Boston needs to look into, and dont throw that Sol Azteca stuff at me, you dont know jack) I was puking my Christmas Turkey out.

How was this year? Better, kinda.
Work grounded both me and my wife to staying home. We went to see movies on Christmas Day (Dewey Cox (C) and Sweeny Todd (D-)) And went home to eat Lasagna.

Did anyone wish me a Happy Christmas? Yes. Did I wish them the same? Yes. Was anyone offended by me doing so? I dont know they didnt say.

And what happened to Easter. No one talks abot Easter anymore. Stores close on Christmas but not on Easter? Where is the outrage, the books, the Fox News Coverage? Easter

Any Sucker can be born, but to die for others sins? Why, that takes something by god. But no, Christmas somehow turned into some sort of shopping spree/family/wall street monster.

Would losing the war on Christmas be so bad? some would say you have allready lost.

I like most people am just glad its almost a new year, maybe next year we can do Christmas right, by shutting up about it, and going about life as if it were normal expect for a breif 2 day period in December where alot of people wont show up for work or school.

1. No Smoking in, on, or near the train or on the platform in the station, mostly because its the law,  and it smells, also I dont want cancer. 
2.Let people OFF THE TRAIN FIRST, so that you may go in. Its logical isnt it
3. Old People, Pregnant Women, and Children get seats. If you are an able bodied person aged 8-50 give up your seat for them if there are no seats .
4. Get off your phone, or at least speak in an inside voice, dont yell over the train about your toenail removal. If you have one of those Walkie Talkie phones, this goes double for you.
5. Dont eat on the train. Or if you do keep it to a Doughnut and a COffee. I've seen people eat Whole Meals on the train. Why would you want to? and the smell is annoying.
6. Dont change your kids diaper on the train. I didnt think it even needed to be said.
7. Dont sit next to me if the entire train is empty its creepy
8. I'll leave 8 open for you...feel free to pitch in
