It's getting there. Once upon a time, it was the provenance of the correct, used to punctuate a pithy, incisive attack. In recent months, it has become the equivalent of 'your mom', an over-used bit of drivel at the end of proclamations by minor douchebags (Hi! My name is Snarkalicious. Just sayin). Soon it will fall into disuse, only beeing brought up occasionally by Freepers and the like who came across it for the first time in 2-4 year old comments and find it to be horribly charming.
Too early. If that was the play, he'd have the announcement in mid September and show backing numbers near the end of October.
If we, as Americans, had a political memory to speak of (and, yes, I'm willing to go out on a limb and call 2.5 months to be overly generous on this count) we never would have tried to fight this regime change oriented 'war of liberation' to begin with.
Man, you can disagree all you want. It's a free country, after all. But for chrissakes, do your own research. Glenn Beck is LYING to you, and Rasmussen has an agenda beyond selling graphs to USA Today.
That's not pork, that's access peddling. Similar in character, but pork is more local.
IMHO, has very little to do with either of these, however. This one is all about the upcoming elections. Every Senator on the committee who went for this proposal can haul it home and plaster disembodied figures in the billions all over their ads as proof of their own fiscal responsibility. It doesn't even have to make it to the floor. If it gets blocked they can just link it to an opponent's stance on something not necessarily related and score double points.
Reason #348 why it's so damned easy to get re-elected to the Senate.
It's always seemed to me that the general mood at this and other such boards are largely dismissive of moon missions as a valuable component of future NASA endeavors. (been there/done that, sustainability issues etc etc)
Why would this policy change, therefore, drop his numbers among the Nerd community?
I can only imagine that the excitement curve for the game will be the same as any other MMO or living on an actual moon base.
Day 1: Woo! I'm on the server/moon! Day 2: Wow! I can do like, 6 different things. Sweet! Day 12: OH SWEET JESUS WHY CAN'T I ESCAPE THIS EYE-STABBING BOREDOM!!!!!
Widely recognized amongst musicians as extremely talented. Can still sell out huge venues. Dude has massive cred, whether you secretly want to blow him or not.
Depends on who they put in charge of the list. I know where I work the dude in charge blocks most of the sites I like to visit (DKos, Wonkette etc etc...I iz a soshalist/muslin), but his faves are fair game (Drudge, RedState etc). It all comes down to one person's perspective and their willingness to view things dispassionately.
Although I suppose my example only holds if you view this as a general issue and not one specifically to do with government.
Barry is far from perfect (I come at him from the left all the damn time) but to characterize his presidency so far in such a way is...let's go with inaccurate.
...but is there really an issue with being drawn to the higher number (50, as opposed to 20) as long as the terms remain the same and the outcome is reduced consumption?

Princeton is a private university known for it's research. Just sayin.
Do try to keep in mind who the target audience is. Hopey might be aiming too high, as is.
Creation science, also too.
The second song that cruises in on name rec doesn't count. You must be a Brit, what with your fixation on echoes of glory and whatnot.
(yes yes, Sum Quod Eris, etc etc)
Nah. Just retahded.
Since when did jerking off in the bushes outside someone's bedroom window count as rape? Jesus, guys...it's not as if I'm sort of sicko.
Dude. It's not her level of self-esteem that determines whether or not my punk ass can make an initial approach.
Next time I'll make sure to include a footnote with the sub-text so nobody mistakes me for Mike Tyson, or whatever.
Eh. There's nothing wrong with my chances an over-sized hoodie and a bad hair day couldn't fix.

Do you have links to show these spiraling poll numbers?
Supermajority?

mid-range.
Please this correction as mod redundant/troll.
I am absolutely sure that nobody in the industry has submitted research on this subject and the numbers are purely arbitrary.
Nobody on the Committee is from Utah, BTW. If this were a slaughterhouse order, it's more likely the big contracts would be proposed in New Mexico.
The bean counters were just translators on this one. The execs just needed the consumer's message spoken in their own language.
Strange...

Can still be viewed from home, at the public library, via the hotspot from a 7 dollar-a-coffee shop and so on.
The people in charge of monitoring transportation have better things to do than cruise Free Republic or HuffPo on the tax-payer dime, anyhow.
