Of course, the door latch was replaced twice, the magnetron three times, and the controls once. When you open it, the light doesn't work, and there's a slight whiff of wet cat from when her precious angel of a child was going through his rebellious teenage years. Also, when it starts, the lights dim in the living room and the fridge starts to buzz. But it still works!
If you designed something to last for 90 days and it lasts for 4000 you've over-engineered the solution. Time and money could clearly have been saved in the development and construction of the rover.
On her IMDB page, she says they wanted to do more with her character, but then realized they had a black girl and two blonds. "One of the blondes have to go. The other one was engaged to the boss, so guess who went?"
I was surprised when I saw she was only in 8 of the episodes from the first season. Seemed like she handed Kirk the clipboard more often than that.
Here we go again. The deficit from Clinton's years was due to Republican Congress setting the budget.
Then explain why it is that the first year Bush is elected, with that SAME republican controlled congress, they pissed away a projected 5.7 trillion dollar 10 year projected surplus?
Sorry, I stopped reading right there. Nothing after that bolded word will have any relevance to reality.
He probably is being 'honest'. He just knows the high points. The ones being 'dishonest' are the ones telling him these things without the full story. I see the same talking points parroted so often, from all sides of the arguments, it's obvious not many think too deeply about them.
He also missed the part that we only had that condition because the rest of the world had been half destroyed by war. If he wants the good ol' days back, we would have to bomb Europe and Japan again, to wipe out their industry and infrastructure.
Yeah, this country was so great when we were the only superpower that was rebuilding the world after we bombed it halfway to hell in World War II. We were strong, and no one could tell us what to do.
It's funny that you look back at that situation with nostalgia.
I've looked at the numbers. The deficit was getting smaller during his second term. The turning point was the second tax cut. The final collapse that destroyed it was due to the housing bubble, which he warned about, but Democrats like Barney Frank insisted was doing fine. But you probably still blame him for the Dot Com Bubble bursting, right? And you think the Sept 11 attacks are completely unrelated to (at least of of) those two wars you keep mentioning.
You have done a good job of parroting the left's bullshit that someone poured into your head. Why don't you go look at actual numbers and real world situations, and figure out something for yourself for a change.
The problem is that no leftist/socialist/whatever would vote for that unless their guy has the headliner. You would have to let them get top-billing, with a guaranteed libertarian presence in the administration.
I'm a pro-H1B redneck enjoying watching you nerdlings getting you jobs taken and wages debased after decades of being called racist by your lot for daring to questioning uncontrolled immigration along our southern border.
Hows that shit sandwich taste now?
You may be a troll (or may not), but you make a valid point.
I always enjoy posts like this. Please tell me one thing. If the Democrat party advocates national health care, pro-choice, pro-union, racial equality and justice, gay marriage, college tuition support, market regulation, and all their other policies (not that they all get implemented), what do they have to add to that list to get on the left side of the political divide?
To say he's not a capitalist though is misleading. He wants a free market, but one that works for all and isn't consistently being rigged by those who accumulate more power/wealth in a feedback loop of wealth leads to power leads to advantage leads to wealth leads to power leads to advantage leads to wealth ad infinitum as we have in our current U.S. system.
The think is, the current loop needs the government to keep it going. Making the government a bigger player in the loop does not mean the loop is destroyed.
The government has been able to destroy wealth/power/advantage loops in the past. But lately, they just raise the costs of maintaining them.
No, that making a huge deal out of high schoolers acting like teenagers is silly at best, and moronic in general.
Should the teacher have used a different picture? Maybe. Should the teacher have simply had the picture already downloaded and available on the computers? Certainly. Should the teacher tell students to google an image, but make sure they don't get the full nude version of a Playmate centerfold? No, he was an idiot.
But to turn that into some moral crusade to avoid a situation that teenage boys laugh at for a few minutes, or that they tease teenage girls about for a few minutes, is moronic. Maybe you don't remember high school, but that situation happened on a daily basis, with far less source material than a photo of a woman wearing a hat.
They held the line on his spending. Welfare reform was a big part of it, but also just generally not letting him buy votes with giveaways. (Unlike the current GOP when facing Obama's spending.)
The tech boom was the other thing driving the surplus, and after the bubble burst that source of revenue disappeared, as I said.
I could certainly see myself voting for Bernie Sanders. And I tend to vote conservative. I would rather have an honest socialist in office than a chameleon who claims to agree with me.

Gay communists have different noses?
Don't forget "social justice".

Just shut up.
Pretty sure when he said, "almost everyone here thinks ...", he is referring to his fellow Icelanders.
What does he do with the rest of the dead body, that is in the bathtub?
Wow. Another idiot that thinks the Dot Com Bubble didn't happen, and the US wasn't attacked by a foreign enemy in 2001.

Reading the comments above, /. should be on that list.
Wait a sec. Is the 'discourteous' part the "Fuck you!", or saying it in the subject line?
So, how many people died when an artist showed his masterpiece of a crucifix in a jar of piss? Or how about the shit-covered Madonna work?
Your biases are showing.

Is this one good enough?

Thank you for your response.

My sig isn't just for laughs, after all.

Funny thing about those tax cuts for the rich, I got one, and I am not rich.
His tax cuts are what brought the economy out of the nosedive it went into in Clinton's last year.
