Where do they claim any dirty politics were performed by actual democrats?
Right, because that one article contains every known incident of voter fraud/intimidation. Hell, half the stuff in their isn't even intimidation or fraud.
Raymond says that such tactics have evolved from some of the more overt voter intimidation schemes seen back in the early 1980s when the GOP's "Ballot Security Task Force" used armed off-duty police officers at the polling places in New Jersey and posted signs reading "voter fraud is a felony."
Other underhanded tactics...
So, reminding people that voter fraud is a felony is voter intimidation? Wrong.
Call me when Petrus (Bordeaux, Pomerol) no longer debuts at $1000/bottle while still two decades away from being drinkable. And when a similar story appears in a French newspaper.
And the "single malts" of the whisky world are usually referred to as "single barrel", right? (I have an 18yr Elijah Craig that blows my skirt up.) One day I'll keep it all straight in my mind...
Whiskey doesn't age in the bottle (supposedly some malts and brandies will age; brandy is grape-based, so maybe that has something to do with it), but not because the bottle is sealed. I think it is related to the differences between distilling a spirit and fermenting fruit juice. A distilled spirit is mostly free from impurity, and rather stable. Wine - particularly unfiltered - still has particles of organic matter in it.
True, but if it is a good blend (or year, for vintage releases) then you shouldn't recklessly mix the whole bottle with a liter of coke. The guys blending change, as do the quality of the crops.
This is at least a novel approach by the insurance companies, but the Mayo Clinic recommends physical exercise to sharpen your mental agility (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/memory-improvement/HA00085).
Personally, I would have people over a certain age re-take their driving test every few years.
I only use one of the Internets, but I know Google Maps, et al, give you a nice aerial shot of the NSA. As a matter of principle I am not comfortable seeing such things posted. Guess I am old fashioned.
FYI - the donger doesn't like to be called "mister." But you can call me "his dongerness" if you're not into that whole brevity thing.
While solutions to any of these mathematical conundrums would be grand
It's not always the solutions but the math developed to try and find the solutions that get really interesting. Fermat's Last Theorem was solved not by a proof in a margin but by a combined effort over a century, and the math that resulted was greater than the sum of its parts.
What is created as a result of this challenge may benefit millions of people in ways we never thought possible.
And if the American population doesn't remember for mere four years that the "new" president already started with the economy in the trash can, well than there's no help. Poor next president...
Ironic that you are forgetting the condition of the economy in 2000/2001. Nose-diving stock market and massive accounting failures, terrorist attacks, hardly attributable to Bush, but blamed on him because he was president. His first economic package wasn't even in place until 2002.
We (Americans) are often short-sighted in that we have tended to blame the president - whomever he may have been - for whatever our current situation was, giving no heed to the fact that things don't often work that fast or are not so transparent.
The current economic crisis is as much our own vanity and greed as anything any politician did.
I'm not a Luddite. But... Is there some value to being able to recall a song, or at least to using your brain to perform the exercise of recalling from memory? This can effectively replace our need to perform this task. (New iPhone app: Hum into it and it will ID the song!) Extend that to all such tasks, which we generally regard as getting in the way of us doing what we really need to.
Example: Calculators very effectively replaced log tables, and we are all grateful for that. But they have also replaced valuable manual math skills, effectively robbing young people of a certain amount of conceptualization we now reserve for mathematicians, if for anyone.
We may be creating technology which will gradually make us a non-contemplative people, living only in the moment. And if you live in the moment, you forget the past, allowing those in control to make you repeat it.
His blackness was questioned by other black people. I believe the quote was about him "lacking slave blood." [Charles Kenzie Steele, Jr.] And let's not forget that by having a white mother he is just as much white as black.
Funny how both sides can simultaneously make race an issue and denounce race as an issue.
I'm surprised that these municipalities don't hold mock elections to test the machines. It wouldn't be so much of a stretch to locally run mock elections. Maybe give everyone who participates a small tax credit. The process could be figured into the overall budget for rolling out new election equipment.
I also wonder whether organizations like Common Cause have many elections' worth of data to show that now there are significantly more problems than before...
Spin isn't lying so much as it is making something look good for you whether or not they really are. Good spin doesn't lie.
Example: Katrina was a disaster. Someone wanting to blame FEMA spins the story so FEMA is the bad guy. Someone else can tell the same story (same facts) and make the mayor of N.O. the bad guy. No one is lying so much as they are carefully ignoring certain facts and emphasizing others.
Have you heard him give a one-on-one interview? He uses more verbal pauses (uh, um, etc.) than anyone I have ever heard. Granted, he is excellent when working a crowd, and the tone of his voice is catchy.
Specifically, she wants to know how many searches are being done, where they take place, and the race and nationality of those being searched.
That would seem to indicate anyone.
I hope that along with the "race and nationality" totals she also gets the overall numbers of races and nationalities of border crossers in order to put context to the data.
The Web Foundation will identify benefits of the Web for these communities, and issues of access to (and availability of) relevant, usable, and useful content. The foundation will do so through support of ongoing and new efforts to develop critical services related to better health care, nutrition, education, and emergency relief.
Sounds more like a shiny, one-world government. Will the world be better off when the WWW, in collaboration with the WWWF supplant the governments of small and/or underprivileged ("underserved") countries around the world? Don't answer too fast because that may be a trick question.
Exactly the point. You start banning a certain type of video, somewhat broadly defined, and it turns into banning any video that someone finds offensive.
Since nearly everyone is offended by something, eventually we have either no videos or just old Donnie and Marie Osmond clips. That's a world I don't want to live in.

I saw that show, too. I think it was Makers Mark, which surprised me because I didn't realize they had such a long history.
That's also why, while single malts are often touted as the holy grail of scotch, blends can be just as enjoyable, and usually cheaper, too.

When it gets the nod of a French winemaker or a vintner from California I'll be a little more intrigued.

Speaking as a former airmen with a very similar past, aren't we not supposed to speak about that? EEFI?

It's called "wu wei," action through inaction. If you prefer, knowing when inaction is the best action.
Maybe our government is going Taoist?

If you vote on Nov 11 your vote definitely will not count.

That's like reading the lyrics to "Blue Suede Shoes" and saying Elvis was a gifted singer.

I'll leave it as: It sounds good. Too good.
I doubt that even our forefathers would have approved of advertising and abuse
I was abused by all four of my fathers, you insensitive clod!
