The Many Faces of US Politics...

Eamonn, I've seen this chart all over the place, but do you know it's source?

No. Doesn't really matter though. My only disagreement is I'd move Fox News down a little.

Jump on the Norwegian Fares:

Family of 4 Return, each with a checked bag, in August for under 2K

Same fares on Aer Lingus last year were close to $4K

From Cork, Shannon and Belfast.  Ryanair type landing as in arriving at an airport in the vicinity of the stated city but could be miles away that city. 

Hope they make a go of it.

Theyre already after going up a bit....cheapest ones must have gotten booked. Still a few days for $65 one way

Providence would be pretty convenient for most people in Boston.....myself included...easy in easy out no headaches

Stewart, in my estimation,  would be a royal pain in the hole from NYC.

Added benefit of these remote airports is that it doesnt cost $45 day to park.....onsite shuttle parking usually about $6 per day so for a 10 day trip youd be almost $400 better off

A teacher has to work three jobs to be able to afford healthcare, wtf is wrong with this picture?

Since when were conservatives worried about teachers, affordable health care or people working multiple jobs?

Al Jazeera is similar to been some obvious bias but pretty solid

It's a great news source. Not afraid to point out shortcomings of the US, but then it makes a change to see what happens on the receiving end of air strikes as opposed to just the romantic pictures of jets taking off in the sunset.

On my first visit to the stated in the late 80's I was amazed to discover that teachers,nurses, people in public service routinely had extra jobs to keep afloat and to have any extras and that was when they had their health insurance covered as part of the job.

One of the reasons why I never stayed

"The States" is a term commonly used, but in reality its like 50 different countries with vast disparities in wealth and wages and the cost of living.  There can even hige disparities in a small state like MA

Public school teachers make a very good living in MA and have great benefits and pensions

"Public school teachers earned an average of $74,737 in the commonwealth last year, with some 14 school districts posting an average annual salary of more than $90,000, according to recently updated state data. Two of the 317 school districts analyzed — Concord-Carlisle and Sherborn — posted average pay of over $100,000 per teaching position."

Its not, Norm is wrong.

The tea party purged a lot of moderates so last year's race included fruitcakes like Cruz and Rubio. The new government includes Nazis like Bannon and Miller who will be defended by Priebus .

"It's important to remember that we not only have massive wealth and income inequality, but a power structure which protects that inequality."

And the GOP is part of that power structure, Koch sucking

instead of standing up for its voters

In fairness the current world order is fucked, a new world order might not be a bad thing, just not trumps new world order!

Boehner (the man who oversaw more than FIFTY House votes for repeal) reckons the GOP WON'T repeal and replace Obamacare. He reckons they'll keep most of it.
