Just saw the World Cup on TV and thought their stadia in Germany looked terrific. While New York was trying to bid for the Summer Olympics in 2012, we were trying to get sport events in the respective venues in Shea, Yankee and Jets/Giants Stadia. Now that we didn’t get the bid, how much does taxpayers have to foot the bill to upgrade to 21st century standards? If you have any sources you can cite, please let us know. Thanks in advance.

Democrats seeking votes for their Iraq-withdrawal plan have stuffed the bill it’s in with billions of dollars for farms, flu preparedness, New Orleans levees, home heating and other causes.
The funding – ranging from $3.5 billion for medical care for veterans and active duty troops to $500 million in “emergency” money for a Western fire season that has yet to start .Farmers would get $4.3 billion in disaster aid, aimed chiefly at the drought-stricken Great Plains and California farmers hurt by a hard freeze earlier this year.
$1 billion to prevent or prepare a possible avian flu epidemic and $400 million in additional heating subsidies for the poor.
Rep. Sam Farr, D-Calif., is pressing for $25 million for spinach farmers who pulled produce from market shelves after last year’s E. coli outbreak.
I have been living with my boyfriend for 5 yrs now…he makes more money then me…he makes 20 dollars an hour..and i make 9;50 an hour..right now i am only getting 34 hours a week because we are in the slow season…i give him 60 a week towards bills…i pay my own cell bill…my own car insurance and what ever else my car needs…plus i buy the food for the house
i also bring him food home from the resturant that i work at..anything from spag to prime rib…i even make him a sandwitch so he can take it to work with him…no matter what i do it seems not good enough…he likes to say that i am working againts him….is this a controlling situation?…or is he right to hurt me like this?
well when i die,all i will probably leave is a funeral bill.isnt it funny how people will leave all their assets to an animal.i guess you have to be an animal lover to do such a thing.if anything i would leave the money to a charity that preserves things like forests,animal reserves,natural wildlife,not some dog that can wonder around in a climate controled house eating gourmet food.where it would be just fine in a doghouse in the backyard chewing on a ham bone.so what are your plans with your assets when you go?

Bill of Rights (Liberal Version)
Amendment I
There shall be no show of respect for any Christian religion, or people who believe in a Christian religion, or Christian-based holidays, and no one who professes belief in any Christian religion shall be considered fit for any government position or office. No law shall abridge the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people, peaceably or otherwise, to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances, unless that speech, that press or those people are in support the actions of Republicans, or in condemnation of the actions of Democrats, or might be construed as giving offense to anyone.
Amendment II
The military and police being the only forces necessary to the security of the State, the right of the common people to keep and bear arms shall be removed, weighed down with restrictions and regulations until private citizens can no longer own anything that might be used as a weapon.
Amendment III
No soldier shall, in time of peace, be regarded as necessary to maintaining that peace. When at home, soldiers of any rank are to be considered disposable, interchangeable, dull-witted robots, who can be instantly trained at need, and considered dangerous, uncontrollable, dull-witted barbarians bent on murder, rapine and torture when overseas. As a group, American soldiers are to be lauded and pitied, but individually, reviled.
Amendment IV
The right of all people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against any searches and seizures shall not be violated without a court-ordered warrant, and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by the kind of evidence of wrongdoing that could only be gathered with a warrant, and the warrant must precisely describe the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Personal security shall be considered inviolable for American citizens, foreigners living in America, and foreigners living elsewhere.
Amendment V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime, because crimes are the fault of society, and not the individual. Republicans and Conservatives, on the other hand, shall be deemed guilty upon indictment by a grand jury, or even upon accusation of wrongdoing. No person shall be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb, nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, unless that person show evidence of Conservative thinking. No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, unless that person shall be unborn or mentally incapacitated, or otherwise be deemed useless to the State, or a burden. Private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation, public use being defined as anything that might benefit the State in some way, including higher tax revenue from said property.
Amendment VI
In all prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial in the media, and later, if necessary, by jury. Guilt shall be determined by the extent of public outcry that can be created over the nature of the crime, but reduced by the level of celebrity status enjoyed by the accused. The word of anonymous witnesses and experts may be used as evidence in the media trial. If a person found guilty of a crime is able to claim disadvantaged status — meaning non-white, non-Christian, non-male, poor or homosexual — that person shall have the right to full and open public sympathy by celebrities and members of the media, unless that person happens to be Conservative or Republican, both of which are forbidden to members of disadvantaged groups.
Amendment VII
The right of trial by jury shall be preserved for captured opponents during time of war, who shall be accorded all the rights and benefits of American citizens in addition to the disadvantaged person status, which shall automatically be granted to all “enemies” of America.
Amendment VIII
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted, not even curtailment of any freedoms or rights whatsoever. Those held for committing a crime shall be afforded luxuries in entertainment and food to make up for the injustice of being incarcerated, as well as the right to at least one book deal.
Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people, especially the unquestionable rights of abortion, tax-paid health care and gay marriage.
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution are reserved to the Judiciary, who shall have the power to overturn decisions made by vote of the people, amend the Constitution and even change the meaning of the words written herein at will and without recourse by the people.
