How about using it against someone besides some poor schmuck found with a roach in the ashtray? Beats the hell out of giving the bastard free room and board...
...the administration doesn't write the laws, Congress does.
The president still has to sign them. He has veto power. He has the bully pulpit with all the media coverage one could ask for to appeal to the public. Fuck him if he doesn't use it. On top of that, he can issue executive orders. He is just as responsible as Congress for the laws we have on the books.
I contend that the core had cooled and was emitting no gases so the air 'evaporated'. I believe that our hot, steamy core is what regularly replenishes our atmosphere, and is made breathable by plankton as it bubbles up from the sea floor.
On the face of it he did the right thing, but he didn't finish the job. He's holding out on us. *sigh* Yet another tiresome game of charades. It's beginning to sound like another honeypot, like Manning's, or a ploy by mass media for higher ratings and ad rates. I sure don't expect any change in future elections. All these scandals since Nixon, and republicans and democrats are still running the show for their corporate masters.
Gallop and other media polls are bullshit. Election results give congress and the executive a greater than 95% approval rating. Those are the only polls people should pay attention to. Media polls are designed to vent anger while accomplishing nothing else. During election season that same media is busy pimping the crooks that everybody 'hates', while telling us that resistance, by voting for someone else, is a futile waste or your vote.
Not until you vote the D/R party out. However if it was to lose 20 or 30 percentage points, that might scare them into rethinking their platform, but right now there is no incentive to do so. It's easy for guys like these to stand up and make noise knowing full well nothing will come of it, but it will look great to the rubes back home who otherwise might start thinking of voting for someone else.
It's gone... Forget about it. It's up to us to demand and acquire the same transparency from the state as it demands from us. Wake me up when you people decide to vote for somebody that can show respect. Otherwise you're a bunch of whiny fools.

Why is this age old internet troll of the "small record store" suffering from "piracy" being repeated over and over again?

Of course you are, my bright little star...
...considered an "elder statesman"...
yeah, yeah, yeah, so was Nixon. And the same will be said about Bush and Obama. Means damn near as much as a Nobel Peace Prize.

Their machines have to connect to listen. Why aren't we spying on them?
...however he was elected essentially to clean up the office rather than do business as usual.
Yeah, it was 'hope and change' back then too.
Canada.. figures.... Do that in the states and get sued into bankruptcy.

"Objection."
"Overruled."
"Oh, no, no, no. No, I STRENUOUSLY object."
"Oh. Well, if you strenuously object then I should take some time to reconsider."
I'm here to inform, not entertain.
The result is precisely the opposite. Don't quit your day job...
I have to assume you are being facetious.

He was also one of our smartest presidents and one of the few who had some sort of science training - he was a nuclear engineer...
And he was a real life hero..., but he was only given the job to keep the seat warm until everyone could forget about Nixon and Vietnam.
I think Ford actually deserves far more credit than he's been given for helping the country to start trusting its leadership again...
Say whaaa???
Much like Clinton, who looks great when compared with anybody else post-Eisenhower, but that's only because the field's so weak.
Kennedy was okay. He had a great looking wife and mistress.
Unless it's in a one foot thick lead Faraday cage, the computer is not 'networkless'. The machine puts out lots of RF just waiting to be tapped.
Keep on shillin' m'brotha!

The anti-abortion movement is simply a result of the 'demographic threat'. The 'morality' angle is nothing but a facade, lipstick on a pig.
...President George H.W. Bush was not all that terrible of a President...
If I read only government archives and lap dog press reports, I suppose I could come to the same conclusion...
Since when does 'law' mean anything to a government, aside from a blunt instrument to subdue the masses?
Carter was a complete disaster for the US.
Yes he was, but everybody after him has proven to be far worse.
