The IRS was asked to provide itemized receipts detailing how the government was billed $50 million USD for their conferences and conventions. They were unable to find some of those receipts. Link [washingtonexaminer.com]
Funny how if you, or I, or SD.net gets audited by the IRS, we're going to be expected to find receipts for everything. |

However, I think this is another ill-thought out policy by the Obama administration. You have Gitmo.... still not closed You have Patraeus.... still General Betray-us by those in Obama's inner circle. Obama wouldn't know what is good for the military if it hit him on the ass. |

Oh noes! Now the right can blame anything that goes wrong militarily on the gays.
![]() Pressure is on the gays to win the Afghan war. Of course when the military does not fall apart, all those here who said it would will apologize for their error.....not. |

Good luck getting gay marriage passed now.

Science is much more than a body of knowledge. It is a way of thinking. This is central to its success. Science invites us to let the facts in, even when they don’t conform to our preconceptions.

As far as the military goes, I believe the problems from this will outweigh the benefits. Pissing off 26% of the military to accommodate at best 7% (and according to surveys, only .6% of the military), seems like a very bad trade. I don't believe that gays should be excluded, but I do think they should have segregated living quarters. That would accommodate everyone. Well, everyone except gays that want to stare at straight dude's asses. |
