Whose responsibility is it anyway to keep sidewalks in good repair?

For Jim, I am going to put the blame on Rove and Bush.

For Jar - I'll say those damn Union contractors.

[a] Whose responsibility is it anyway to keep sidewalks in good repair? [b] Or are we just supposed to walk with our heads down all the time looking for danger spots?

{a} It varies wildly from state to state.  This is where a good local plaintiff's PI lawyer, likely a member of what used to be called ATLA, can come in and give you a good opinion.  Usually, the landowner is the ultimate responsible entity, but whether the duty is to an invitee, licensee or trespasser, whether the duty is delegable or not, and so on, are issues of state law.

The New York Times reports that according to new government data, "Americans earned a smaller average income in 2005 than in 2000, the fifth consecutive year that they had to make ends meet with less money than at the peak of the last economic expansion." As most workers' wages stagnate, however, the folks in the top two tenths of one percent of income earners are doing quite well. According to the White House's official statement, in fact, this divergence between the vast majority of Americans and the wealthiest two tenths of one percent "is not a very interesting story." To them, it is just an annoying distraction from their bigger goal of manipulating the labor market through immigration and globalization policies specifically designed to drive wages down even further.

Get well soon.

These folks do not have the best interest of the Cuban people in mind, nor have they ever, their only interest is to perpetuate a wedge issue in order to maintain some tenuous grip on power which was hardly anything more than a political construct to begin with.  The whole thing is rather fanciful and it gets perpetuated because people in our government continue to buy into this fiction.  It's the 21st-century and it's time we moved ahead with the normalization of relations with Cuba, and the Democrats should support this as a matter of ideological consistency.  

Barack Obama is proposing a moderate stepped in the right direction reversing the flawed policy of the Bush administration which has heaped even greater hardship on the Cuban people.  Hillary Clinton wants to perpetuate the Bush administration's mistakes and is quite obviously on the wrong side of this argument.  It's as simple as that.

Obama's Cuba Stand Breaks Rank

"The primary means we have of encouraging positive change in Cuba today is to help the Cuban people become less dependent on the Castro regime in fundamental ways," Obama wrote.

"Unfortunately, the Bush administration has made grand gestures to that end while strategically blundering when it comes to actually advancing the cause of freedom and democracy in Cuba," he added.

He promised to grant Cuban exiles unrestricted rights to visit their families and to send remittances home.

This morning, from a cave somewhere in Pakistan, Taliban Minister of Migration, Mohammed Omar, warned the United States that if military action against Iraq continues, Taliban authorities will cut off America's supply of convenience store managers.

And if this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers will be next, followed by Bell customer service reps.
