Tim Minchin Tim Lincecum Tim Duncan Tim Hardaway Tim Jennings
I've only even heard of one of them, and I would not say that Tim Minchin has achieved greatness. He's certainly the greatest Australian-born comic pianist in the world, and yet ...
Parents, don't name your kids Tim. It predestines them to a life of pleasant mediocrity.

I notice that you couldn't think of a single Jeremy who's achieved anything at all. Face it, I'm right.
I think the hypocritical base will support anyone who isn't a socialist communist atheist Muslim Democrat.

It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate

Push the House of Representatives to address the fiscal cliff, make them raise taxes
This is crucial.
Obama should start negotiations with the GOP by making it clear that stepping off the fiscal cliff is preferable to any deal that does not eliminate or reduce the Bush tax cuts for the super-rich.
He does not have to face reelection, and higher taxes on the wealthy will not be a problem for the 2016 Democratic candidate.
We may never get another opportunity to cut the bloated Pentagon budget, and we face no credible military threat.
Democrats in Congress can immediately introduce legislation to ameliorate the impact on lower and middle income folks. If the GOP thinks holding the middle class and the economy hostage to ever greater income transfers to the wealthy is a winning strategy, let them face the electorate on that basis in 2014. This fight is about more than fiscal matters in 2012--it's about stopping hostage taking by a minority party of ideologues.
He spent most of his first term seeking bipartisan accords with the TP-dominated GOP reps. It's time to play hardball. He must not start negotiations by offering compromises before place settings are even on the table.
Harry Reid is fond of the dance or fight (and his preference for dance) metaphor--but the GOP won't dance until you draw some blood.

I voted Democrats because I believe they will be more cooperative on global warming issues than republicans. I'm in a red state though, so I doubt it mattered much.
I'm also a progressive, and republicans seem to want to 'go back to the good ol days'.
Why has neither president brought up the fact that some scientists are saying current trends without action could lead to 75% of the planet dead by 2300? That’s my grandchildren’s lifetime. (my daughter will soon turn one years old.)
