A lot of missile defense work is *still* going on in Huntsville. While there are a fair number of imports, I can attest that there are locals (well, at least "locals" from Alabama and surrounding states) that work there.
If it were not for the south man would not have walked on the moon.
Rocket engines? Developed and tested at Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, AL Apollo Rockets? Built in New Orleans, LA (among other places) Cape Canaveral? Southern Florida Mission Control? Houston, TX
Besides, you never hear of anyone retiring and moving *north*.
What's holding back the paperless office? Flipping FAX MACHINES. I work for a multi-billion dollar international bank and if faxes stop working there is no end to the screaming and whining. Kinda sad that in the 21st Century banking is still done using technology from 1994.
AIG was the conduit by which billions of US taxpayer dollars made their way to foreign companies. They also looked the other way when banks were trading worthless Mortgage-Backed securities - if they were doing their jobs, their risk assessment group would have dropped the banks' policies like a hot potato.
You're forgetting the tax advantages of being part of an employer group. If you buy insurance on your own, you do so with after-tax dollars. If you buy through your employer, you do so with before-tax dollars, reducing your overall tax burden (and that of your employer, since their payroll taxes get a break). The Federal government caused the mess of a health care system we have, it strikes me as absurd to expect them to be able to fix it in any meaningful way.
And if you itemize deductions, you can take a tax deduction on every dollar you pay in Health Insurance premiums.
...the copyright date is 1986. Back then, ADD was on nobody's radar screen, and certainly not pills for it, and anybody hearing about a child being on pills for any mental disease would have been horrified, and had no idea what this strip was about. Putting children on speed for ADD was a meme that blew up in the 90s.
I dunno, I was on Ritalin for ADD from ages 6 to 14 (1981-1989)... Perhaps your timing is a decade behind?
No doubt. Just bought a kick-ass Acer system, from Best Buy of all places. PC and 19" LCD monitor for $426 US (including tax) out the door. Could not have built a comparable system myself for as little.

The company was hired to paint over graffiti. They painted over the graffiti.
"Our current fuels" seem to power my Cessna 150 just fine.

Ignorant rednecks can be found all over the country...they are not limited to the sunbelt.

I'm not really into Pokemon...
Novell has started the same thing - unless you have a maintenance contract, no support pack for your SuSE distro. It stinks.

Don't most vote-counting machines reject unfilled ballots?

Wait, I though Massachusetts had that sweet universal healthcare... have I been misled?
You mean my health care plan doesn't cover cancer? Crap...
You mean it's the people that we vote into office to make these choices for us?
You must be new here...
So they don't sell iPhones south of Indiana?

I would pay money (not a lot, mind you...) to see a video of a 2 meter long squid devouring a live chicken.
One would hope that there would be redundancy in such a situation...

True, they'll just beat you over the head with a 2X4 and be done with it...

Give it a couple of years...
