I should clarify my comment above because it was written hastily while I was on the road (notRead More literally).  In no way do I mean to cast aspersions on all BOF members as individuals, but rather as a Board as a whole for deadlocking, and hence shifting their responsibility to others.  If the BOF is "deadlocking" on decisions, that suggests a lack of compromise, political motivations, and a lack of objective fiscal policy making.  Having since learned that the Democrats offered sound alternatives to fill the gap between the budget and mil rate, then I suppose the shame must fall to the Republicans for preventing the Board as a whole to come to an agreement.  These games of fiscal chicken have become tiresome and dangerous.

These seem like basic (if not easy) responsibilities that we should expect of them.

Hey David, I usually use whole eggs in my fritatta, but I add in eggwhites ( to increase theRead More protein content) zucchini and part skim mozzarella are great to add in there. Some like scallions with it.
