I read all of those "slow moving disasters" and have a different rule to take from them. "People who exaggerate gloom and doom are usually wrong". Many of those disasters were averted because the people claiming gloom and doom were flat out wrong. We were never in danger of running out of oil, we just improved out extraction techniques and our discovery techniques. etc.
He responded to the question "what is the problem with women in science" with something he felt would be funny and people would laugh at. When he was informed others didn't find it funny, he apologized. What more do people want? When did it happen that science geeks were expected to have good social skills?
Link me a single instance of her actually being dumb. Not saying something that was later proven to actually be correct, and not a Saturday Night Live joke about her (I can see Russia from my house).
What false premise? It was pretty clear at the time that everyone thought there were WMD in Iraq. Before Bush was elected all the Democrats were saying it.
So I guess Saddam gassing all the Kurds didn't really happen, and we should have never gone in there to put a stop to the systematic genocide Saddam was up to...
The funny thing is, Hillary is the same age as McCaine was when the Democrats were talking about how old he was and we were a heartbeat away from Palin.
I personally would have preferred Palin than Obama, at least she is patriotic. She is also pretty smart, which makes all the smear campaigns of the press pretty funny. But if you prefer a liberal, she obviously isn't the one for you.
And I live in an area where there "is" competition.
Do you have some kind of split personality? You just typed two entirely conflicting statements. Either there is a monopoly, or there is competition. It is impossible to have both.
I have FiOS. There are cable providers in my area as well, plus DSL, so I have 75/75Mbit. Yay competition.
So because a system was hacked, you can't trust anyone working for the government on security? I heard that a corporate web server was hacked, I guess we can't trust anyone working security for corporations anymore, they couldn't know what they are talking about.
As an East Coaster, I don't think anyone on this coast can actually drive in the snow. My pickup with offroad tires does ok, but it is rather disturbing when the large trucks pass me on packed snow. Many people over here think they can drive in snow, but lose control on the first turn/stop.
and the Tea Party (which formed largely as a recoil from working class white Americans to the spectre of the first African American President)
Noooo, the TEA Party has nothing to do with Obama, it is a reaction to the constant growth of the US government, rather than cutting back programs. Taxed Enough Already is their motto, the taxes should go down, not keep going up forever while everyone can see the money is being wasted.
Obama had very little room to maneuver. The GOP took control of the House in 2010, and the Senate in 2014.
Sooo, the answer for needing to compromise in a little while is to slam through a piece of shit now? Obama is a terrible politician, you can see it clearly if you watch all the issues he has with the GOP. The whole budget issues that happened occurred simply because of Obama saying repeatedly "I will not negotiate with the Republicans". The job of a politician is to negotiate, if there is no negotiating, there is no consensuses, therefore no movement. Blaming the GOP because of a refusal to even speak with them is exactly what a politician doesn't do. The same thing happened with the ACA, refuse to negotiate until the last minute, then slam the law through, rather than negotiate a better compromise. Of course the GOP won't work with Obama, every chance he gets he refuses to work with them and calls them stubborn.
So, all I have to do is paint the front of a Beretta with orange paint and I am free and clear?

Stormtrooper Arrested

· Score: 3, Insightful
For the purpose of this paragraph, “firearm” shall mean any pistol, revolver, rifle or smoothbore arm from which a shot, bullet or pellet can be discharged by whatever means.
So, now a plastic blaster is a firearm capable of discharging shot, bullets or pellets?
Those charges make no sense. Perhaps there is missing information here, but how exactly is walking by a school loitering, and it sounds like the principle did more to disturb the school than the storm trooper. After all, we all know that walking by a school with a plastic laser rifle is totally equivalent to shooting up a school.
I guess this is what we get in a society where everything must be punished.
As far as added sugar, how is that not on the label? Who cares if half the sugar in your apple juice is added sugar instead of from the apples? The amount of sugar is on the label.
GMO labeling = FUD, stop spreading it.
If you don't want to eat GMO, you should just create your own DNA and grow plants from there as GMO has happened in nature for 1000's of years. The free market would call for no food labeling, so don't trot out that argument, because it is against you.

I would like to point out that belief in creationism isn't part of modern Catholicism at least:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/...
so trying to conflate religion and creationism is kind of disrespectful to the majority of Christianity that does not approve of creationism.
Only costs a few times more to bury them but you won't need to service it for a century! Srsly.
More like 10 times in the country, and much more in the city. I used to work in this industry, did you?
At least McCain actually served his country.

the rebuilding of the economy (which was all Bush)

It was actually more during Clinton's time, but it was really congress.
the Iraq War Obama inherited from Bush, the war against Muslim terrorists (which I'm not blaming Bush for, although Bush didn't help)
The war that many Democrats were calling for and demanding? Kinda funny how that works.
