WELLINGTON, Dec. 19 (Xinhua) -- The number of New Zealanders moving to Australia in the year to November jumped to the highest in 19 years as higher wages lured people across the Tasman, Statistics New Zealand said on Wednesday.
The outflow of kiwis to Australia rose 33 percent in the 12 months ending November to 27,200, the highest level for a November year since 1988, when it recorded 32,700, the Statistics New Zealand said in a report.”

“Can Congress order you to pay for a war you don't believe in?”

“Congress can lawfully impose general taxation and use those taxes for most anything they see fit. Congress could lawfully impose a general tax and use it to buy insurance for everyone.

What Congress cannot do is order everyone to buy his own insurance.

That is one step too far.”

“Minority? Would you be talking about the party that's currently in the majority? Civil Rights did cause the dems to lose the south for generations, as LBJ predicted. Some things are more important than politics.”

“So what's the alternative. I'll go with the compromise, as much as it stinks, to get something on the books. Then we can amend, change, etc. without providing the wing nuts such a giant platform from which to spew their nonsense. Rahm is playing a game with which I am not familiar, but let's hope it works.”

“Conyers, it's all well and fine for you to hold the President accountable. But more importantly you need to support him publicly and criticize privately. It seems to me you are more interested in your own profile and not in what actually gets accomplished in this administration. Be a team player.”

virto replied on Dec 08, 2009 at 13:17:43

“Being a "team player" is why we're in this mess. This isn't a football game -- or a civil war. We're all Americans, but we've lost the ability for objective thought because we think about what's good for the "team" first and what's good for the country comes in at a far-distant second, if it comes into play at all.”

Imago replied on Dec 08, 2009 at 13:10:26

“I agree.

And to LeeiinCalif and Lion24, there is a HUGE difference between being lock step and being aware that politics is a game of perception.

Who wins if everyone feels like there is absolutely no agreement in the Democratic party. Oh, wait, I know (because I've been watching it happen for 20 or so years...) the Republicans!

And I'm astonished, Lee, that you would call someone a "silly tr.o.//" for making a statement like this -- this says a lot more about you than it does her.”

Tiger earns money to golf, and I've never heard him comment about anyone else's proclivities. Why should his be any of our business? I feel badly for his wife and children.”

“If Mara Liasson cannot see the bias on Fox after watching for 30 days, then she is not a journalist. I don't think her participation on the panels provides any balance whatsoever, nor does that of Juan Williams. It seems like just by being in Fox environment they become saturated with the same insidious poison. I have lost all respect for both of them and feel that it does diminish NPR. For true balance, the only news show on television is The News Hour.”
