With each passing day I become more disappointed with the way our employees, elected officials, are handling this very important issue!

Uniformed Services Former Spouses’ Protection Act

I fail to understand why I'm being force to pay my ex-wife a percentage of my Military Retirement until I die. I can understand I should do it for a while but forever is uncalled for. I have contacted all my federally elected officials and no one is listening. I looked into this act and found out it was hiden in a Defense Authorization bill in 1983 to overrule the US Supreme Court. I know everyone thinks I'm just a bitter divoreced man. This Act has allows 77 million dollars a month to be taken out of your Military retirees pockets and given to someone who never wore a uniform. This is not a small issue.

Premise of the poll:A lot of standing Democrats (e.g., Blanche Lincoln) are facing left-wing opposition for not being liberal enough. A lot of standing Republicans (e.g., that Senator from Utah) are facing opposition for not being conservative enough. Which of the extreme wings will do the most harm to its political party?

Wiggles

Wiggles once again shows the major flaw in the vicious dog law. Because the bite reporting is mandatory for the doctors there is no discretion. So, we get trials for dogs whose "VICTIMS" do not want to bring the charge. If I get bit, I'm self-treating.
