Om Shan Tea, Beloved Community Tea House, Closes Amid Owner's Drug Trial

Profoundly insane... it is indeed that. It is a human shame that a person might actually be forced into a prison cell for decades of their only life, merely to satisfy the terms of the authors of this insanity.

9 Things To Never Do At Your Desk

You're right. In the private sector today - especially within the operations of large corporations, every employee who has any power whatsoever is grabbing all the territory, titles, salary and bonus bucks that are not already nailed down - and anything that can be pried loose. Those below the line get nothing - except a great view of all those left behind.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk Fires Back At Angry Auto Dealers

Candy Crowley's Potential Debate Follow-Ups Take On A Life Of Their Own

I am an ardent fan of Candy Crowley's genuine excellence as an on-air journalist.

Like Bob Schieffer, and other great professionals, she knows this is not a game to be won. She's the real deal.

John Koster, GOP Congressional Candidate: Economic System Rewards 'Slothfulness' Of The Poor

Your facts are correct enough, but an assumption that the circmstances of existence do not have a profound, ovewhelming influence on one's course in life does not make sense to me in the slightest. You have reached a conclusion about souls, and I think that is way beyond our paygrade - and if yours were the prevailing point of view, American survival seems unlikely. To reject ones own composition is to be divided from the start, and to be defeated in the end.

John Koster, GOP Congressional Candidate: Economic System Rewards 'Slothfulness' Of The Poor

You coulda been a contender, pal, but not with this kind of transparent malarky. In my religion, a person is not born poor, but may be born into poor circumstances. Koster believes that the poor are a type of person; not a condition of life.



Here's the chase to cut to: Koster should not be part of the civic life of any community of people whose faith in humanity is healthy and wise and informed by their better selves.
