That is a foolish statement.

Trying to draw conclusions about an Author by who is listed by the author is foolish….HA.

You know I bet mvicuna did not even write that because that is such a foolish statement.

The Author property on a PDF is also indicative that the PDF was created on a machine they were signed into, using a tool registered to them, or that someone typed in “Liz Fowler” as the author property.

Trying to draw conclusions about who authored the document’s contents based on the Author property of the PDF is a bit presumptuous. I would even call it foolish.

Occam’s Razor actually has two applications. As Baucus is superfluous relative to Fowler, so Fowler is relative to Wellpoint. By these steps we arrive at the parsimonious ontological scheme known as corporatism.

And the Democrats will own it! I can just imagine how the Republicans will use this against us in 2010. A total lose/lose. It almost like they want to lose the next cycle and put the Republicans in charge to torment Obama for the next 2 years. I’m beginning to think the current crop of Democrats would prefer to be in the minority and let the Republicans, who don’t give a rat’s backside, control. Democrats really seem to like being the “lesser of 2 Evils”.

Secretary Hilda L. Solis was confirmed as Secretary of Labor on February 24, 2009. Prior to confirmation as Secretary of Labor, Secretary Solis represented the 32nd Congressional District in California, a position she held from 2001 – 2009.

From the Department of Labor website.

I see nothing wrong with appointing a Congresscritter to a cabinet post, especially when it’s one of their interests. It beats selling it to a campaign contributor.

It’s the Secretary OF Labor,fer Chrissakes. For years it’s been filled with people who were Corporate operatives…finally there is someone who is actually in favor of helping working people.

“People know when Liz is speaking, she is speaking for ~~Baucus,”~~ the insurance industry.

That’s better.

I hope he’s not in a man-sized safe.

Right. Pretending you are only responsible to your state is BULLSHIT.

Ah yes, Sanford with his hands clutched over his heart and blurting out his everyday words, as he prepares to die: “Elizabeth, the big one!! I’m coming Lizzy!!”

Sanford would have so many of his Heart Attacks with these Democratic Politicians who go against their promises!
