The little blue pill can have fatal side effects...

Doctors should be required to be present whenever a gentleman uses a little blue pill.
Yes it will be inconvenient and a little embarrassing.
I'm sure the doctor would have to charge a lot more when he subscribes the medicine if he knows he has to be oncall all the time when his patient might use the little blue pill.
But its really important that we take adequate care of gentlemen's health.
Can't cut corners when it comes to safety.

two great things about the new pope

1) he's used to being completely ignored and humiliated by the civil authorities in his country!!!!
2) he seems to somewhat believe that the church should be serving the poor rather than lording it over them

My tax proposal..

Why don't you go directly to the people? Our tax forms currently ask us if we'd like to donate $3 to the presidential election....why can't that same tax return be updated to say what percentage of my taxes I want to have allocated to education, poverty, defense, corporate giveaways. Obviously it can't be 100% of the taxes paid but it could be 50%....then the government can tally where the people want their money spent. And then their states should get no more than the people living their authorized.

Wow, no one in texas thought education required funding. After a couple of years of failing schools, the parents might wake up.

the constitution requires that congressional pay is not a negotiation point

but I see no reason why they they should have paid staffs.
I looked and congressional staffs are over 24,000.
That sounds like 24,000 layoffs should be a no brainer.
Time for the congress critters to work.

shun the trolls..its healthier for you (and doesn't give them any satisfaction)

Ultimately, the research concluded that you're not doing yourself any favors by responding to rude people or people who make you angry. You also get the side benefit that the best weapon against those types of people is ostracism.

Headline you don't expect to see: Woman shot by oven while making waffles

"responsible gun owners" is becoming another oxymoron
