Stop sending kids to schools based on where they live
A big problem is that many are not sent to school based on where they live. They get bussed to other parts of the city to make up a politically correct ethnic mixture in all the schools across the district. When your child attends a school that isn't in the local neighborhood it's a lot harder for some parents to be involved, get to know the teachers, etc.
The healthcare bill is totally a bailout for corporations which want to get out of having to pay healthcare for employees.
Obama is a shill for big business, plain and simple, bought and paid for by big media, Wall Street and the GE's (e.g. defense contractors) of the world.
A shill for big business who wanted the healthcare law, hmm, that's why his administration is handing out waivers to exempt his big donor unionized companies from said healthcare law. ???
You are obviously forgetting McCarthy, who was doing his best to protect America from subversive elements.
McCarthy was obsessed about Soviet spies in the State Department and the Venona files pretty much showed he was right. Like most people you've probably confused Senator McCarthy, who was mainly just guilty of being a jerk, with the truly noxious House Un-American Activities Committee.
No kidding - Seymour may be rolling in his grave over having his name attached to anything massively parallel. His entire design philosophy was to have just a few uber processors cranked up as fast as possible, although I wonder if by now he'd have changed his mind. Multiple processor servers were expensive when he passed away and the multiple core race we have going on now wasn't even fantasy.
Why not? Any business trying that wouldn't last long as most customers wouldn't want to support them for moral reasons. Why do you think the "Jim Crow" laws were created? Because the racists who wanted segregation were in fear of going out of business due to non-segregated competition.
We have a Senator that refused to comply with the law, as passed by Congress, that currently regulates air travel.
Ah, here's the real problem with federal agencies: the Congress didn't pass any law about groping procedures. They created the DHS and simply said the director shall determine what is needed. The director then comes up with the groping procedures, which are agency policies, not really laws in the proper sense of legislation created and approved by representatives. The bulk of the federal government runs roughshod over us in this way.
True but good luck getting the congress to pass the next budget with a clause that approves 'all the salaries except that agent who wanted to screen Rep. Paul'.
OK, I looked it up. The exact phrase is 'privileged from arrest'. 'Arrest' has several meanings. One is what the police do when hauling one off to jail. It can also just be a more generic meaning of stopping someone, and I'm pretty sure that's the more important definition. The purpose of this clause is to keep political opponents from preventing representatives getting to official meetings, not to keep them out of jail for legit crimes.
So, will some TSA "agent" lose their job or is Rand Paul not big enough fish to throw that kind of weight around?
TSA is under the executive branch while Paul is a member of the legislative branch. Guess which party is in charge of the executive and which party Paul is a member of and ask yourself this question again.
Unfortunately I bet most other congresscritters whip out the 'shall not be obstructed on their way to and from congress' (paraphrased) clause of the Constitution and just bypass TSA's checkpoints altogether.
No, you're not. China's "Nationality Law" specifically forbids dual citizenship. You've just not surrendered your Chinese passport and use it to get into China without having to pay for a visa.
Why do people insist that we don't allow them to redefine perfectly good words
Yeah, and let's start with taking back the word "gay" since it has no synonym. Nowadays if you say you're having a gay day, people think you're completely incensed over this or that injustice towards your lifestyle demographic. It's supposed to mean a carefree happiness, which is just about the exact opposite.
The workers will get a pretty medal (designed in USA made in... ) and expect to see a term like "national sacrifice zones" dusted off as a sound bite.
The workers who have to be around these souped up xray machines for a full shift five days a week will probably get bad simultaneous cases of several varieties of cancer much sooner than even the most frequent traveler going through it. Then the government will be on the hook for huge lawsuits and removing the machines. The trick is to avoid being said frequent traveler until then.
Yes, because they certainly do NOT confiscate knives on planes.;-)
I'm thinking that even with the 'flight friendly' version since it has the Swiss Army logo on it, the TSA goons will simply suspect it has a blade and take it away anyway.
I am always disappointed that the real-time display in every car I have seen tops out "99.9". I know it is not meaningful, but it would be fun to see on more digit.
A new Jetta TDI will display '200' as the current miles per gallon when coasting downhill.

Following your reasoning, an iPhone could be considered as a Chinese (or Brazilian) phone...
Seriously, which part of an iPhone did you think wasn't made in China?
Montana was built in the last century?
For all the partisans out there, note this was a unanimous decision.
There are no stocks that definitely pay dividends in the future; only stocks that have historic patterns of paying them.
Think how much different schools would be if it were the students that were unionized, not the teachers...
Ouch, even worse... all the teachers who tried to teach or assign homework would be fired and all the students would be valedictorian.

please provide a kid friendly alt for baked lays that is readily available at a normal supermarket for around the same cost.
Ugh, the baked chips are the worst; read the ingredients list. Regular chips are just potato, oil, and salt.
You should be modded insightful.

Isn't this something our fabulous leaders should of demanded before spending a crap load of money and deploying them all around the nation?
Isn't this something that's better late than never, considering that it's too late to say it should be done beforehand?

Im a dual citizen USA & China living in the USA.
No, you're not. China's "Nationality Law" specifically forbids dual citizenship. You've just not surrendered your Chinese passport and use it to get into China without having to pay for a visa.

Every government IT job like this I've ever seen has US citizenship required, not even green card required. How did this guy get in?
