The 'government' of the state of Arizona seems just as deserving. Used the think of the Grand Canyon and Garry Shandling when Arizona came up, but ever since the MLK holiday debacle, it feels like the entire state is dedicated to a faithful re-enactment of the Jim Crow south.
of the multiple military tribunal rulings resulting in acquittals and no jail time, it's fairly obvious killing brown people (especially non-christian ones) is not considered more than a misdemeanor by the US military.
I certainly hope the CDC didn't rely on data from just the parents, as some of the truly awful will insist the reason their precious snowflake didn't make the preschool deans list is obviously autism.
The Content Lords' new business plan is to become one with major ISPs, so the content creators are also the content providers. A key to this is the effective destruction of the FCC by their 'kept women', the GOP. Then, with universal data caps (with exemptions for in-network services such as Comcast's TV on XBox play), the Open Internet will be murdered and replaced with glorified cable TV networks.
The real seats of power in Congress are the Committe Chairmanships, currently assigned by the party leadership in majority, usually by seniority. Wanna shake up the system? Random drawings for Committee leadership seats at the beginning of every new Congress and after every major break. I'd go one more and have the drawings done from all Congresspersons, not segregated by party, as the worst thing that happened in US politics was the ossification of just two parties that are now quasi-branches of FedGov. Of course, the only way this would happen would be after the revolution when all the current porkbarrelers are, uh 'brusquely excused' from power.
Nearly every company has customized stuff that is mostly built upon VBA or Visual Basic. I use Libre at home but have no idea if automation could be done like in Office (let alone how much time and money such a transition would cost). I don't think there are many stand-alone, secretary-ish workers left that need zero customizations, but I could be wrong.
Another issue is the incestuous tie-in Microsoft has with other specialized software such as CAD. Specifically, some very core functionality in Autodesk Inventor requires Excel be installed (Libre need not apply). Still not sure how that's legal.
California has about 5 million more people than Canada; it's so large that it would count as a medium-sized European country (with a very strong economy too).
Given that they have massive deficits, budget cuts at every turn, and a once-eviable school system is now in ruins, you have a very strange definition of 'strong economy'.
How would Big Pharma ever charge enough for a one-time treatment to cure cancer? Yes, I think this discovery will have to be...studied.... for a lonnnnnnng time, first.*

Senator Pat Roberts (Apparatchik, Kansas) who was chairman of the Senate 'Intelligence' Committee investigating the (ahem) reasons for invading Iraq famously said, "Let's put this on hold until after the election, to take partisan politics out of it." After the election, he naturally said "There's no reason to investigate the past".

I am now praying the Mayan calendar is right, just to end the rapidly accelerating insanity.

I've seen this guy's face and name pop up so much this last month, its reminding me of Andy Worhol's most famous quote.
He's a cool guy and all, but it now feels like he's a William Morris client.
Sadly, while soylent green is predominantly people, another key ingredient is honey.
Let's not go breathing on the House of Cards that is modern Western Economic policy!

They mean: those that have them are the only people that count, ad-wise.

Or more accurately: merely re-naming for round two?
No shit?

No, seriously; is there any?

Third paragraph.
Huh. I just assumed it was a silly attempt to guard against agents picking up (ASIAN) bird flu.

You can just feel the freedom!
...so Santorum is for it?

Scumbag.
I've been on Slashdot too long: "IANA... I Am Not A... what? What are you not?? Tell me!!"
the key to truly bionic prosthetics is sustainable nuclear fusion, so 50 years is about right.
We won't be hired (or will be let go) for being demonstrably anti-social (aka untrackable).
Seems like a lot of maladies have a root cause of inflammation.
Could be minocs.
