The "threats to our political and military stability" come mainly from our needing to buy fossil fuels and thereby fund our enemies. Funny how people who don't believe in global warming do believe in the global jihad, and yet the two have many of the same remedies.
Most Priuses don't charge. Mine doesn't. I fill it with gasoline, and it goes as far on a gallon as Allen West's Hummer goes on three. Anyway, the cool kids have moved on to Leafs and Volts and Teslas, which *do* charge.

Next time, RTFA.
IIf airline A has 34 inches of pitch with a $550 ticket and airline B has 30 inches for $500, the passengers will flock to the $500 ticket.
Passengers need to start making it clear with their wallet that they are no longer going to fly lower-priced sardine airlines.
There are any number of reasons why I might not choose the cheapest flight. The arrival or departure time may be inconvenient. The layovers may be excessive. I might want to avoid a particular airport. Or perhaps the airline breaks guitars.
But there is not even reliable information, let alone a promise, of how large the seat is going to be; and there is no reason for the airline to live up to an agreement that they never made. In your example, I see only a $500 ticket or a $550 ticket, and no seat size is listed. The actual choice is between $500 for a 30 inch seat and $550 for...a 30 inch seat. If I'm lucky.
That's because their claims of enviro-superiority are like medieval "indulgences", permissions to sin without penalty. So Saint AlGore flies all over the world preaching the "Stop flying!" mantra, as if he'd never heard of Skype or Webex.
Thomas Jefferson wrote, "All men are created equal." Thomas Jefferson owned slaves. Therefore all men are not created equal and we need to go back to feudalism. Yes, it's crap. It's crap in exactly the same way that your yelling about AAAAALLLLL GOOOORRRRRE! is crap.
"Pantywaisted policies"? Fine. Swarm this land with Homeland "Security" goons to find anyone who looks a little brown, ask them sus papeles, por favor and beat the mierda out of them when they answer in English. Oh, and we want freedom and small government, too. And low taxes.
"Teach our kids Spanish"? Qué horror, que nuestros hijos aprendan otro idioma.
"Offer Spanish cable TV channels"? What have you got against the free market?
"Bilingual highway signs"? Citation needed, but yes, it's so much better to have people on the road who don't understand the signs.
Yes, we're in hock up to our necks because Greasy Spics and Scary Mooselimbs. It has nothing to do with people baying for MOAR WAR! without being willing to pay the taxes to support it. We had a budget surplus before george w. bush got in.
If you're suggesting a final solution to the Greasy Spic/Scary Mooselimb/whatever problem, then just come out and say so.
I'm old enough to remember the time before Obama, when you could speak out against the government and not have to worry about getting targeted by goons from the IRS.
Gee, when was that? Poor widdle teabaggers had to fill out a few extra forms. Opponents of george w. bush were herded into "free speech zones", pepper sprayed and busted for having the gall to oppose the War on Terra.
I for one would be quite happy to see GEORGE SOROS! banned from contributing to the Democrats if it meant the hundreds of other billionaires couldn't contribute to the Republicans.
Of course we'll never get them all, because the Vaterlandssicherheitsdepartment doesn't have enough manpower. So if you want to round up that last illegal, fine.
Increase the size and funding of the Vaterlandssicherheitsdepartment about tenfold.
Swarm this land with goons to grab hold of anyone who looks a little brown, ask him "Sus papeles, por favor", and beat the mierda out of him when he answers in English.
And you can STFU about Big Government and you can STFU about the taxes needed to pay for it all.
Or we can slap some fines on the companies that hire illegals, or that illegally hire H1Bs instead of Americans. But no, that'll never happen, because Job Creators.
Any time someone mentions global warming, the chorus of the usual PRATTs comes up. I've been modded down many times for daring to disagree with some teabagger.
But anything not part of the right wing echo chamber is a "Democrat infested cesspool".

So if AAAAALLLLL GOOOOORRRRRE! took a wrecking ball to his mansion, composted the shards and retired to a hippie commune, you might change your mind?

Lightning causes forest fires. Therefore I don't have to be careful with my campfire.

Seriously, guys, does every third sentence have to end with a bang?
That oughta larn 'em to check before they click send. But it probably won't.

The Prius battery is NiMH. Some other hybrids might use Li-ion.
I certainly hope you don't draft trucks and avoid braking at the same time.
so critics of NSA spying can be called commie Islamofascist America-hating terrorist sympathizers again.
Don't you Foxbots have anything better to say than AAAAALLLLL GOOOOORRRRRE!?
DRINK!
Why does the US still even have the Death penalty?
"Mah opponent is SOFT ON CRAHME!"
Those who speak of "extreme left wing groups" usually mean anyone less insane than Michelle Bachmann.

Deportations have continued apace under Obama.

If you work for a large company, chances are a mainframe prints your paycheck.
If you work for a small company, they probably outsource their payroll to some company such as Paychex, and a mainframe still prints your paycheck.
Stopped reading there.
