I'd like to see proportional representation, so that it's not winner take all (at least at the national level). Would lead to more grid lock but might make it more difficult to screw things up as well.
When we pulled out of Iraq at end of Desert Storm, we just piled up everything and burned it. Was a shame as we were a medical unit with a small field hospital set up and everything. All up in smoke.
I bet Obama could take out McCain, using the traditional Vulcan Ponn-Far rules and weapons. 'Course, Palin would cream Biden, and then it'd be a real fight, between Obama and Palin. Cool!
- The top two income-tax brackets would return to their 1990s levels of 36% and 39.6% (including the exemption and deduction phase-outs). All other brackets would remain as they are today.
- The top capital-gains rate for families making more than $250,000 would return to 20% -- the lowest rate that existed in the 1990s and the rate President Bush proposed in his 2001 tax cut. A 20% rate is almost a third lower than the rate President Reagan set in 1986.
- The tax rate on dividends would also be 20% for families making more than $250,000, rather than returning to the ordinary income rate. This rate would be 39% lower than the rate President Bush proposed in his 2001 tax cut and would be lower than all but five of the last 92 years we have been taxing dividends.
- The estate tax would be effectively repealed for 99.7% of estates, and retained at a 45% rate for estates valued at over $7 million per couple. This would cut the number of estates covered by the tax by 84% relative to 2000. :
Oh hell yeah. We were all pretty drunk. Was a hell of a Halloween party. Am still in touch with one of the ladies and since then, she's led a pretty normal life; married/kids, and says the other women have too. Nothing like being in the right place at the right time, with the right booze flowing. Still, building a 1000 MPH car would be pretty cool...
Once they finally crack down on all that tourist traffic stuff and start controlling state border crossings, we'll all have passports. The war on tourism won't fight itself ya know!
Oh, I'm still looking forward to when the barren patch of dust and gravel in front of my house has a nice green lawn and I can go and yell at the kids to get off it. For now, I'm content to just grumble under my breath.
I'm 40. Never heard of mixing Red Bull with anything but then, I prefer whiskey and vodka straight, over ice. And I'm a boring stay-at-home parent who stopped going to bars in the 90's.
I'm not supportive of random assassinations as a means of inhibiting aggression (it just shifts the problem elsewhere), but I have no doubt such a strategy would become locally effective over time.
I think they're doing that in the Congo, only they include viscous rape and torture with it. Not really working out that well, either.
Back in '88, I had sex with three women at once; blond, brunette, and red-head. Was 19. I think that was the high point of my life and I'm now on a long down-hill slide into obscure dotage. Ah, well, someone had to do it.
Maybe someone could figure out how to use the force of the air rushing past the car to help support it or even totally suspend it so one wouldn't have to use wheels at all. That would be cool!

I wonder how many votes Tits McGee will get?
In NM, there's also Constitution Party candidate Chuck Baldwin on the ballot.

Then vote for a third party candidate as your protest.
I did!
In 2000.
In Florida.
My bad.
I thought it was against the law to print ephemeral data on paper. Was one of the primary positions of President Cyrus.

All those tentacles would be cool! Not sure about having a trunk, though.
I have an iphone but no one's ever called me. Sigh.
I think they need to go back to Project Orion and build a Michael .
Eat hot gamma rays!

Yeah, but is kinda' low flying, with a loud *Whoosh* sound. /duck!
Damn, now I want to build a jet powered ground effect vehicle, that doesn't really fly but depends on air cushion between vehicle and ground.

I hear in Iceland, there's a woman behind every tree.

Nope, just one penis, one tongue and one ear I can wiggle really well.

I think I saw them open for Jen and the Genitorturers, back in '96.
I remember the 2004 College Humor contest, where women were posting 'no bush' pics. Damn, but I love teh intertubes!
