A fake steelworker is nothing compared to a fake candidate from a fake party: http://www.courierpostonline.com/article/20101007/NEWS01/101007081/Democrats-Adler-campaign-backed-Tea-Party-candidate There are other similar attempts except nobody from Reid's team is spilling the beans yet.

Movies are sent in a red Netflix envelope. There is a perforated piece of paper with your address which covers one side of the envelope (it covers the side with Netflix's return shipping address--the envelope you receive is the envelope you ship it back in.)

The movie itself is in a sleeve inside the envelope. The sleeve contains the movie, a description, and a barcode. A correctly inserted movie will only have the barcode revealed through a little window, presumably to make processing easier at the shipment facilities.

Governor McCreevy of NJ had already taken up the cause for stricter seatbelt laws before this happened; if he hadn't, I might not have repeated the "hypocrite" charge.

McCreevy — and his supporters/sympathizers — deserve the hypocrite charge on other merits. The man, who resigned in disgrace after nobody agreed to buy his attempts to portray his assigning a juicy "homeland security" contract (for which everyone renting a car in NJ is paying $5/day — per McCreevy's orders) as a "gay rights" issue, is now — I kid you not — an Ethics, Law, and Leadership professor ...

He [Corzine -mi] was riding in the back seat, after all. It can be hard to tell how fast you're going if you aren't driving.

No, he was, actually, in the front seat — someone else (a woman) was in the back seat. He could not possibly not have seen, how fast they were going. The crash occured, because someone driving in front of them could not get out of the way quickly enough.

Oh, okay. And what makes you think I got it from the web? I really can't believe I'm continuing to dignify this. Your principle really does mean that if ANYONE ELSE has ever quoted the same passage, you have to also quote them. You and I both know that's wrong, so you can spare me the lecture. I bolded the passage, not because someone else happened to do it a few years ago in an obscure little internet article, but because that is the part I wanted to emphasize! And guess what? I sorta kinda mentioned that I added the bold.

You know what my favorite intro to a book is? It's the one in A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. It goes "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." (p. 1, bold added) as quoted in

According to you and only you, I have to quote all those webpages whenever I want to quote the first like of that book. Otherwise, it's plagiarism. Oh, and I better cross my fingers and hope no one has bolded any part of that sentence.

Well, good work. You got me to dignify another person who really doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

>> You dont need nuclear weapons for that. Look at Japan. Heck even cuba doesnt have nuclear weapons. They all manage to stand up to US "bullying". And now after being nuclear power also, successive Indian govts vie (with pakistan) to be "better friend" of US rather than saying anything against their "bullying tactics".

Japan is virtually a colony of the west. Their constitution (whose drafting was overseen by the US) does not allow their military an offensive role, so they depend on the US for their external security. They have a colonial mindset where everything American and Western is preferred and many of their women prefer caucasian men
Cuba only survives because Castro has been extremely quiet after the fall of the Soviet Union and the US has bigger things to worry about.

>> There were many reports pointing the lack of safety in Indian nuclear power plants including some official/semiofficial agency report.
You mean like this, this, this, this, this or this?
