Tea party is mostly a holdover from an anti-government or reformist movement awhile back; ie, many of the same folks in Perot's Reform party are so called Tea Party members. Many of the same complaints about government were shared by both groups. And the term "Tea Party" was showing up before it had a back-ronym and a few years before the subprime mess.
As for the criticisms against Obama, I agree that the racist part is rare. However there is a huuuge amount of absurd claims about Obama not being really American, or not loving America, or being socialist, or that it's irresponsible to take a vacation when you're president, and what not. Every week I'm seeing a new claim to add to the conspiracy theory. Seriously, when large groups of people start saying he should be tried for treason then you know there's an insanity epidemic spreading.
The stupidity is that Quayle didn't realize there were two valid and correct spellings of potato/potatoe, and refused to accept a valid spelling. That is to be clear, "potatoe" was a spelling accepted in the 20th century, used by some respected publishers, up until the "Quayle incident". See: http://blog.oxforddictionaries...
See, I showed that a person on the right and on the left can both be wrong about the same subject.
This pipeline will not be used to help out US demand for oil, it is all going to be exported. Price of oil is completely unrelated to the keystone pipeline, except as a rallying cry to get inattentive voters to call their congressional representatives.
Although a Canadian pipeline, used to turn Canadian oil into Chinese gasoline, makes sense. Spending all that money and ignoring environmental concerns to pipe all the way down the US to Texas refineries is just dumb and only helps out a few people. Far better to put some refineries in or near Canada and northern ports. This is not a political statement, it's just common sense. The politics skew the whole thing, especially the whole sale lies about how this will help the US economy or lower gas price.
Yep, cyclists aren't passive. They will scream abuse as pedestrians who dare use the hiking trail in front of them, and bang on the side of my car to make sure I don't turn suddenly.
I think that the Playstation fans would want Sony to focus on that and absolutely nothing else, as is clear from the biased article. On the other hand, fans of other Sony products might have the same idea, dump the Playstation and focus on what they think is more important. Any company that has more than one product probably has to put up with these tug of wars. The management team has almost certainly done the math and figured out what they think is the best way to help profits, and this does not necessarily mean becoming a life support system for various products.
However I suspect a larger number than 1% care about being able to fix a broken device without throwing it away and buying a new one, or returning it to the manufacturer for repairs. They don't have to know about how to fix the device they just need to know about someone who can do this. It's like the old television repair service, the market at the time wanted to have their expensive televisions fixed and would not have accepted an excuse that they needed to get a new model.

You can get those materials, just not for a toy intended for unsupervised children. You can get many dangerous things sold for educational purposes, if you go through educational catalogs (ie, most chemistry labs for high school use have many things you wouldn't want a kid to buy at the local now-defunct Radio Shack).
This would be true if this were a legitimate operation. Instead it involves no one with any knowledge or experience conning people into joining their team for essentially entertainment purposes. If these were legitimate people they've be doing the basics of space exploration the same as other private space exploration companies. Instead they're claiming to be jumping to the end game when they haven't even learned to drive.
It's a high risk if people who know how to do these things get involved. It is murder or manslaughter if people are conned into joining by people who have no clue how to do a mission like this. This is Heaven's Gate on a larger scale.
It's a SCAM. Pure and simple. People are not volunteering for this after having been given all the facts. Being stupid is not the same as giving permission to be killed. There is no libertarian utopia that would allow this.
I did a web page when it was new, html 1.0 style. It was as ugly as all other web pages at the time. Later I did an htlml 3.0 style page, and even had to figure out that weird css stuff. But after that, forget it. I can write an operating system, compiler, even the CPU design, but web stuff is for a particular breed of OCD.
It's not just a corporate attitude. It turns off a lot of people. Which is ok for young people who don't give a damn what anyone but their current love interest thinks. But when real life starts to intervene as one gets older, there are a lot of people who regret the ink.
Because most videos back then weren't "streaming". Yes, Youtube may have been an improvement, but that's not the same thing as implying that it invented the whole concept.
No. You could get video from the internet. There were ftp sites, USENET, university file servers, etc. From even the 80s. Of course the videos weren't very good and were generally very small. But then the early youtube videos were very low quality too.

Sadly, the typical case of eminent domain is not used for the public good.

I was actually allergic to it when a baby/toddler. Or at least I had problems with it. So I got goat's milk instead. But I soon grew out of that.
Leave a few banana peels around.

I would feel disgruntled about this and send a very stern but politely worded letter to the UN.

You're making a flimsy assumption that there is valuable content on the web.
I thought "noobs" were a problem best dealt with by a training bra.
Ha, when I was a kid in the 60s, my grandmother would always put on fresh lipstick before kissing me.
Now where do you bury your fossils so that they can be found again?
I've got a nursing home picked out already.

It kept sucking after youtube. I dismissed youtube at the start because its videos were so much lower quality than what I had seen elsewhere.
No. You could get video from the internet. There were ftp sites, USENET, university file servers, etc. From even the 80s. Of course the videos weren't very good and were generally very small. But then the early youtube videos were very low quality too.
