Obviously we need to get him to step down.
Not because he's done anything wrong, but because too many people are going ad hominem and applying him to the rest of Wikileaks, which isn't too much of a stretch as he IS basically the face of Wikileaks. Whether or not he's actually done something bad as a person is irrelevant, as this issue is more important than he is.
It's not like we have any manufacturing power anymore, nor were any manufacturing jobs created by the bailouts. The reason America was such an impact in WW2 was because we had a lot of people, and a lot of resources and industry that could be mobilized. Now who has those things? China. Since both sides of government famously refuse to do anything for this country, we might as well give China all the space flight aid they want. This country is on the decline, but only because greed and apathy rule our government. It would be ridiculous to say that politicians aren't also businessmen. Well, that seems to be all they're good at. They're not good at history, that's for sure, or they might've listened to Eisenhower's farewell address which warned of precisely what we've been doing for a few decades now. Of course, it's easy to have no morals when you have money.
And then have no control over my vehicle if the cops wanted to pull me over! Not that I like being alarmist, but I don't like this development. Sure, the chances of the government going 1984 on us is practically impossible. But airplanes shouldn't crash when they're normally so inspected. Murphy's Law has a way of elbowing its way into everything. What if Arizona passed that Immigration bill twenty years from now where all the cars are automatically driven? The cops could stop every single person just because they'd have the power to. Or what if a person in witness protection got found? The people hunting them could just reroute their destination, say, to an abandoned warehouse. Things slip and fall through the cracks all the time. We're only so lucky our government is too inept to control us like that. Maybe I'm wrong.
All I'm saying is, this is neat technology, but you should never just give into it without giving it more thought about the broader implications.
If they really wanted to make some money, they'd sell virtual shotguns so trolls could end the cows, pigs, chickens, goldfish, and your girlfriend's cats.
I agree with this, even though Fox News has made it clear time and time again that they are anti-American. Hell, they had a thing about "not questioning a wartime president". Obama is a wartime president but they're questioning him. Or the protests thing. When people protested Bush they were, according to Fox, "anti America hippies that want our enemies to conquer us". Now that they're leading protests for... I guess they're protesting that Obama is black. There's other examples, but really all you have to do is watch Fox News itself, or The Daily Show since they tear them a new one (metaphorically) every few episodes.
Why not instead have multiple levels of license, where the most competent driver is allowed to act like a jackass because they can drive for every other idiot on the road?
You could charge a huge amount of money for the license and transponder and applicable bumper sticker and have any still relevant traffic violations cost that much more. Like say, lanechanging without using your turn signal.
But giving Joe Average who can barely remember his turn signals exist or to check when lane changing the ability to speed even more? No, I don't think this is a good thing.
So the global pollution that shut down Moscow isn't an issue at all?
Even if global warming is nothing more than a scheme to get us to pollute less, isn't it time we started doing so anyways? Think of a law that received widespread support BEFORE anyone died from it when we didn't have any regulation. Especially here in America, we need a catalyst to get anything done.
So while you may be right about global climate change being fake (which I still believe it's real especially since you didn't quote anything empirical), I still think the obnoxious hippies have a point for once.
One other thing, I notice you didn't mention how we're due for an ice age and how that might affect the way our climate change is. Global warming is misleading as a term.
Spoiler alert for Colbert's show:
His show is CONSTANT shameless self-promotion. And it actually is shameless, rather than the incorrect usage that really means shameful.
He also has the Captain America shield, so he's plot-device invincible.

Wait. Doesn't that mean it sweetens unicorns? And if so, how am I going to afford unicorn meat?
See, the suffering makes it delicious. It must, or foie gras wouldn't be as popular, no?
Do you live in America? Because here, everything has corn syrup in it. Seriously if you do we'd like to know what you're buying.
And COMMIES!

If we all fingered the Playstation less. Then again, they were the first sex bots. (Posted from the future.)
