I suspect the #1 reason for auto insurance rate hikes is actually the rise in the receipts of Ken Nugent, Montlick & Associates, Kaufman, etc. Something pays for all of that advertising. #2 is an inept Insurance Commissioner who will never again have to face voters. Last I saw Georgia was #5 or so in state population growth and adding 110,000 or so per year from migration not counting procreation. So it stands to reason that more cars on the road will result in a higher quantity of severe accidents. Have the percentages changed?
I guess if we can have politicians with names like Bo and Joe Frank and Zell and Buzz, we can tolerate a 2 Chainz. Unless that has some secret street meaning that I am not aware of.
Reminds me yet again of how close we are to ‘Idiocracy’.
Upgrayedd.
“As a member of the Republican Party and an elected Republican, there’s no circumstance under which having a Democrat would be better (than having a Republican).” — Johnny Isakson
What “moderate”, “bipartisan” Johnny Isakson is saying is that no representation is better than a Democrat. Yeah, now there’s a guy Dems can work with.
“Mueller can’t be a special prosecutor when he himself is under investigation. Mueller is guilty of obstruction and cover up in Uranium One.”
It’s a holy grail, another Clinton intended to take out Mueller while deflecting from Christian Roy Moore..
Congress paid out $15M in settlements over the past 20 years. The good part is that that offenders don’t even have to pay! It comes out of a fund set up for the purpose.
Way to deter bad behavior, Congress!

Time for Franken to step down. Pretty disgusting…

You’re an idiot. Pure and simple. Tell me Drewsky, what is the statute of limitations on sexual battery? Al Franken is going to jail. Look at that pic of him touching her chest! Damning evidence!
Listen, collect yourself. Sit back and try to come up with some inane defense of Franken. Pics don’t lie. An actual photo, no less. Your guy us in deep doo-doo. I questioned the timing of the Moore revelations. It’s obvious now the guy is a creep and won’t be elected. But you keep up your outrage. It’s all you really have.
Stop. All of you just stop. This is not about keeping a score (if my creep is going to be harassed then your creep gets to be harassed.) This is about a cultural change. There will be more to come along in both parties, all industries, the military, and IT WILL GET WORSE.
Having you egg each other on and fight among yourselves is not productive.
So, I understand “window-licker” in context here, but a little guilt to go with any humor— that the word derives from insults to folks with intellectual challenges …. and while, Noway, we all have our intellectual challenges, I’d consider yours not an innate intellectual disability but more of a learned and intentional cognitive complex gone awry. But not so far awry as to be worth abandoning good and potentially informative political conversation. I look at the blog space here like the original “Real World”, or as an experiment in political conversation.
Bethe, I’m gonna give you a mulligan here. I’m thinking your were trying to underhandedly bust my chops, but I’m not quite smart enough to figure out the jab, with words like, what were they, oh yeah, “intentional cognitative complex”, I swear to you, I’m a little lost. So, try again, heck I’ll even laugh at myself at times.
Not sure if there was anything too funny in there. But Benev gets it when I say I’m Not Sure about anything right now. I think a President Comacho could win right now. At least get a minimum 30% of the vote.

With enough campaign contributions from Brawndo even… yikes, it’s hard to think of anyone less qualified than Trump.
It definitely will go to the Senate Ethics committee.
I don’t see the democrats supporting him if these are serious and pan out.
You know, unlike say, the Alabama Republican Party with Roy Moore.
No egging. No gloating. Don’t make me stop this car…
And that pic is proof. Not an allegation! Ruh-roh!!
Good Read.

We have a gun bill in the senate? Does the NRA know this?

I rarely would say something like this, but Roy Moore is a person who deserves to have his reputation destroyed.
I think he deserves a lot more but seeing how this is a family site I’ll keep those comments to myself.
If Bloomberg, Murdock and Bezos have media outlets, why not the Koch’s.

So besides, cutting the Historic Tax Credit for restoring buildings and the 179D tax deduction for energy efficient commercial buildings, they are cutting the builders credit’s for Affordable housing, and classifying small A/E firms as professionals thus screwing them over on the pass through taxes. Explain to me how this will MAGA?

“….Donald Trump, Jr. and Jared Kushner to keep more of their parents’ and grandparents’ fortune…”
Mr. Marx, I’m glad you recognize it is, indeed, THEIR money. You’re maturing with age, albeit at a glacially slow pace…
