Except that if a local school board is going creationist, you can fix it by moving to the next county. If a federal education bureaucracy is going creationist, you'll need to move to the next country.
Kentucky isn't actually suggesting that the ACT tests widely used for college admissions be rewritten for them, are they?
Of course they are. These are politicians. Facts and practicalities don't interest them; poll numbers do. And if they got their way, universities in Kentucky that get state money would be accepting them.
"Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and render unto God the things that are God's"
Which is actually a weasel statement when you look at it closely enough. By Christian theology, what *isn't* God's? Of course, Jesus was answering a "gotcha" question that was trying to trap him into advocating not paying Roman taxes, so a little weaseling might have been justified.
Arguably, they can claim that the loan's "interest" was the years of service they did provide. They should definitely be on the hook for the original fee, though.
And to forestall the incoming ignorance, yes, I know about Article I, Section 10. It prohibits the *states* from issuing legal tender that is not gold or silver. The Federal government is under no such restriction.
Well, of course I am, citizen! The Computer is my friend! We must all trust The Computer! Failure to trust The Computer is treason! You aren't a traitor, are you, citizen?
Where do you suggest one goes for short-term, no-risk investments? I want to go to there.
Money-market funds. They invest in short-term Treasuries and top-rated debt. They try to be diversified, so even an unlikely nasty surprise won't nick you much. You won't get much of a return, but your money will be most likely safe (there's no absolute guarantees anywhere, but if the money market funds go south, there's not likely to be any safe place elsewhere). With current low interest rates, you'll probably make a return of less than 1%, though.
In fact, just about everybody who starred in Green Acres is dead. Damn, that's depressing. Eb Dawson (Oliver Douglas's dim farmhand) is still around, though. And so is Ralph Monroe, the decidedly unfeminine female carpenter. But that's all.
a little speech about how civilized people act in a civilized society.
Odd, I was thinking about the same thing. Except that it's the receptionist who needs that speech, not the poster. The poster wanted nothing more than that the reception spend literally a couple of minutes getting what he had a clearly documented right to have. Three cheers for the poster! If more people would refuse to put up with bureaucratic bullshit, the world would be a much better place. I hope his son grows up to be just like him.
No, you ship it to he customer and you prune once you did.
No, because the point here is to *make money.* You don't ship it to the customer unless he pays for it. And he might decide he wants to pay for it later, so you need to still have it in case he does.

You mean samples like these?
That must be why he's both strange and charming.

My copy of the Constitution doesn't seem to have that statement. Maybe I just don't have the double-secret probation edition.

Here's one idea. Although I will admit, Jim DiGriz's probably doesn't look so...brutal.
Radioactive decay exposed to solar radiation isn't as random as we thought.
By putting the radioactive decay in a shielded box? Which is what we do already...
American Civil War didn't have blimps. They had balloons, but not blimps.

For that matter, I'd have to dig up Mr. Haney, too.
But I'm not sure if farm livin' is the life for me. Also, always being fleeced by Mr. Haney sucks.
Or, you could, you know, just get the original.
I think it's unfair of you to bar a CUDA.
They may try to discourage you, but if you are insistent, they will. They are legally required to.

Yeah. After all, we were forced to go to Vista because support for XP was discontinued. Oh, wait. That's not what happened at all.
So, does that mean those portables will be sticking around...or does it mean those genres will fade away?
