Open Chat... All Day, Every Day! Express Your Views, Debate, and Challenge the Views of Others!

In order to keep up with the nature of free, spirited debate, I wanted to place the chat feature at the top of the homepage. This ensures people can come here and share their views on anything they wish and not have it be related to any specific discussion. Here, people can share ideas, links, and views "unmoderated" and an their own pace. To me, this makes The Elephant in the Room blog truly a place for debate.

    Whoppee for Romney {sarcasm}!!! I just wish we could move on to the general election. This primary season is draining. 48 debates in the first week of the election cycle and none since. The nasty advertising, name calling, etc... I'm just about done with it. And, the end result, as it looks now, will be the status quo - Romeny wondering why nobody likes him and Obama still the president.

    One article I came across in the Philadelphia Inquirer (I had to search both msnbc and foxnews - foxnews has nothing which is a shocker) that rubs me wrong is more squandered money (it's not squandered, entirely, yet but, if it's not, it will cost more as that is clearly the angle the owner is playing). I am all for promoting green(er)/clean(er) energy and the vehicles that utilize the technology via government subsidy (assuming it creates jobs), but this administration has shot itself in the foot more than I'd like to see. I don't think anyone is being held to account for these decisions (was anyone fired over Solyndra?). Anyway, here's the link (to both the msnbc article and the philly.com article):
