You're right. They are held every other year. Summer Olympics were just last year, so if the GP had seen them, it would have been within the "years" timeframe.
It also looks like this has become a minor right-wing cause. Jack-booted thugs coming to take away your wood-burning stoves, and all that.
The EPA, run by Obama, is a right-wing jack-booted thugs organization?
You liberals are so DESPERATE to show that at least some minor part of government hasn't been corrupted to screw over the middle class and poor that you are literally saying Obama is ordering right-wing thugs around doing his bidding?
I think I heard Obama in a speech say "If you like your wood burning stove, you can keep it. Period"
Yes, those horrible people that don't think an unborn human should be killed at the whim of an embarrassed college student.
As for me, I don't mind abortions. I don't think they should be illegal. But I refuse to join the dehumanizing group-think that is the pro-choice death camp.
Bullshit. It takes a birth certificate or naturalization certificate. A paper than every adult American has had in their possession at some point in their life
As for repeating every few years, what is the expiration system that voter ID laws have? Since voter registration happens when you first register in an area, and is automatically renewed when you vote, it seems the process wouldn't be very repetitive at all. Certainly not the weeks-long financial calamity you make it out to be.
And the Chinese who see it as "China" and "them". And the Japanese who see it as "Japan" and "them". And the Germans who see it as "Germany", "should be Germany", and "them" And the Russians who see it as "Russia", "the other former SSR's we still want to control", "Europe which we control with our natural gas supplies", and "them". And the Africans who see it as "My family" and "everyone else". And the Latinos who see it as "My drug-funded overlords" or "a grave".
I'm sorry, I seemed to have gotten sidetracked there. What was your point again?
You guys are so funny. If a Republican gets into office, and wants to expand government programs because he's a "compassionate conservative", you slam him for spending too much money. Afterall, conservatives can't bash big spending Democrats when "Republicans do it too".
So now a faction of the Republican party gains a few seats, and you bash them for being the example of small-government, budget-conscience conservatives you keep claiming you are looking for in a "loyal opposition party".
So, what is the truth? Do you want Republicans that spend like liberal Democrats, or do you want Republicans that spend like conservative Republicans?
Ironically, Watergate doesn't even deserve to be the scandal it blossomed into. It was stooges from one political campaign breaking into the headquarters of the rival political campaign to figure out their plans for the campaign.
No one died, no innocent person was sent to prison, there wasn't a drug-fueled orgy. Just political campaign hijinks. It actually sounds very boring in that regard.
Except for the fact that the only relevant part of the book that was in the movie was the "military action against an alien invasion", yes, the movie lampooned what the semi-literate leftists thought the book was about.
The 1995 film, with the absolutely amazing lap dance scene, among many others??
How could anyone not find Showgirls one of the top 10 sexiest films of all time?
They were all told to hate it.
My wife and I saw it in the theater. She didn't like it much, but I enjoyed it. The raw depravity of it was done well, in my opinion. Especially the fat lady with the revealing wardrobe.
As a tech who worked on many systems from DOS, Windows 3.x, Win95, Win95 w/ FAT32, Win98, Win98SE, WinNT4.0, and WinME, I can say that indeed WinME was the biggest pain in the ass to work on when there were problems.
Great! Finally! I've been waiting for someone to give me a detailed technical explanation as to why Windows ME was such a problem and what parts of Windows ME's design caused those problems.
It's been over a decade now, so I don't remember specifics, but it was a nightmare for a while.
As Stile learned, unicorns don't let just anyone ride them. You're likely to be sent off a cliff trying to clutch a fly who plays a harmonica if you dared to molest one in such a way.

Win98 had issues of not powering off after shutting down. WinNT had issues of hardware compatibility, and all versions tend to forget about printers from time to time.
But when something went wrong, there were definite steps that technicians could do to resolve it. Microsoft decided that made too much sense, and with WinME they broke established procedures that worked quite well before that. It's been over a decade now, so I don't remember specifics, but it was a nightmare for a while. Then everyone moved on to Win2k or WinXP, and we all pretended WinME never existed.

Does anyone still use dual video cards anymore? Are SLI or Crossfire still in use?
I don't build systems, but I haven't heard anything about them for a while and am just wondering if NVidia and ATI/AMD still run those lines.
Well, I haven't seen a dupe article this week, so I can't be on the original Slashdot.

Priceless.
Why do you claim that the cat is yours? You think you have the right to own another living creature? You're a barbarian.

isn't much more of an independent life than some cancer cells?
Once more, the liberal left shows their compassion. Fetuses are no more than cancer cells.
My mistake. I should have included Medicaid in that question.
As to the AC, the end goal of Obamacare is single payer, which will be "Medicare/Medicaid for all". So the situation is still relevant.
I knew it was you. ;^)
Thanks. I hope I didn't sound too much like a dick.

I hope Ferris is doing better by the weekend. Maybe he should take a drive and get some fresh air.
Does your wife really think that insurance companies don't make errors with billing, coding or paying the bills?
Next time you're in your doctor's office, ask them how much effort it is to work with the various insurance companies.
Ask them which is worse - the insurance companies or Medicare?
I don't have a problem with someone posting a small comment as an AC to preserve modding in general articles.
But I will agree that the AC had a long post with "insider knowledge" that is beyond appropriate.
If you have detailed knowledge of a story, choose to either mod or comment.
Yes, I agree. Look at my sig below for an idea of what I would rather have at this point.
But that isn't the point of criticizing Republicans who want to limit the federal government.
I have Slackware and Mint installed. Each has benefits and drawbacks.
Search for "best linux distros", and take a look at what's out there.

Except for the 'average user' that hates the UI so much they will pay to have their brand new computer downgraded to Windows 7.

You should have thrown "weird" in there somewhere.
