President Obama and Congress have had a long time to avoid the fiscal cliff. In the rush to get away for the holidays, last-minute politics will lead to a rotten deal for everyone. Their actions are irresponsible.
Executives of South Florida's main blood bank who used the nonprofit organization's money for exorbitant meals and limousine rides should be ashamed. Their exorbitant salaries and severance are shameful, too.

Why is it considered greedy for a person to want to keep the money that he has earned, and somehow noble to take that money and give it to someone who hasn't earned it?
Perhaps the GOP should abandon the elephant as its symbol and replace it with the lemming. Members of that party seem to be following Grover Norquist right over the cliff.
