The whole point of delegated federal agenicies is so Congress can delegate its responsibilities. The whole purpose of federal agencies is to operate independently in their respective areas, so Congress doesn't have to do everything. It would kind of defeat the purpose of Congress delegating to agencies if it told them everything to do!
Murray was born and raised in Newton, Iowa. He obtained a B.A. in history from Harvard and a Ph.D. in political science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Saying 97 percent of the significant figures in sciences come from the west is like saying 90 percent of shark bite victims happen within 100 meters of the shoreline,
so I won't comment on your education. After all, that would be an ad hominem attack.
No, there are state and federal crimes. Both state and federal crimes can be either misdemeanors or felonies.
Generally speaking, a misdemeanor is a crime punishable by less than a year in jail.
Generally speaking, a felony is a crime which is punishable by over a year in prison, or death.
States do have something called in infraction, a quasi-criminal wrong, like a traffic ticket.
In order for a crime to be federal, it must involve interstate commerce (or federal taxes, or some other federal-only power). Interstate commerce is sometimes triggered by crossing state lines, but can be done by violating any federal criminal statute (drugs, carjacking, civil rights) where intersate commerce jurisdiction has previously been asserted by congress (or a federal agency, a delagatee of congress).
Many crimes (like those mentioned above) involve concurrent jurisdiction, wherein both state and federal law may overlap (although federal law is always supreme in the event of conflict).

Defamation law is one of them. You can argue whether or not calling someone "a stalker," a felony in most states, constitutes defamation (since the definition of what is defamatory varies in each state), but defamatory speech is not protected speech.
As far as "attacks" go, well, that isn't legally relevant. As far as whether you agree with Luskin's politics or not, that is not legally relevant.
If Luskin points out factual errors (or not) is legally relevant. Truth is a defense to defamation.
If Krugman printed a false and defamatory statement that harmed the reputation of Luskin, with malice (knowledge of falsity or reckless disregard for the truth), then Luskin might have a case. He'd likely still have to prove actual damages.

Spybot S&D is the best, as long as you keep it updated and "immunize."
Another good one is Spywareblaster. I don't know if it does any more in the way of ad/spyware removal than Spybot S&D does, but it's "Flash killer" is very cool to get rid of those increasingly obnoxious Flash ads. It will prevent the repeated download request (annoying!), or alternatively, it will prevent Flash animations from running once Flash is already installed (an easy click to re-enable if desired).

American people should have some say in a situation like went on in Iraq.
Maybe you don't like what the people said, why they said it, or that they aren't as smart as you liberal elites, but they overwhelmingly supported the war and the troops. Use whatever CBS News push-poll you want. After Bush's SOTU, the pro-war numbers - asked straight out, "do you support the war" - according to most polls I read were in the high-60's.
Calling a large majority a "large plurality" seems little disingenous. Since when is a number over half a plurality?
And it seems to me the US will be paying an extremely "large plurality," to use your words, of the bill.
Like 95%.
If 'war is not the answer', I'd sure as hell like to hear what the answer is.
That Bush gave THREE reasons for invading in his SOTU speech: The NON-imminent threat of WMD (pre-emption); links to terror (see: ansar al-islam); to foster democracy in a dangerous, arse-backward region.
The last one is good enough for me, and if successful, Bush should get the Nobel. Then again, maybe they'll give it to that great peacemaker, Yasser Arafat, LOL.
Like Bush and Cheney are personally updating the WH Website. I'm sure some Junior Web Monkey got the headline wrong (trying to be brief maybe?), someone Sr. Web Monkey eventually caught it, and his boss (like a Deputy Assistant Coffee Monkey) ordred him to fix it.
If at all unsure, chalk it up to a conspiracy.

Just once I'd like to see you/.'ers write something in support of the war on terror, instead of wringing your hands like hysterical old ladies.
B!tch b!tch b!tch, you always have some complaint about the govenernment's efforts to fight terror. You seem to know everything that we shouldn't do, but I haven't read one word about what we should do in the war on terror.
But I also don't believe that politeness - or common sense - permits one to say things that will get your arse kicked in if you said it to another's face.

Many printer companies have a shelf-life purposely built into their cartridges' printer heads, so they degrade, discouraging the fill-er-up method.
I'd rather pay a few extra bucks on the front end than get reped in perpetuity.
No more "$50 printers" that require two $29 cartriges every couple of months.

Yes, that was the point of the allusion. Maybe I should have mentioned Jimmuh Carter too, or linked to Yasser's award page.

They do, it's called voting, not to mention public opinion polls, which were near 70% for the invasion when the US invaded.
...if true. I'd like some proof that the WH is trying to cover-up before we put it in a posted news story though.
If true however, this would be mainstream newsworthy, IMO.
have different rules.
Removing support for different OS's is anti-competitive. You'll recall that MS is under order to allow for different browser installs?
And yes, someone should write the judge.
IAAL.
Better to be feared than to be loved.
Now don't make any sudden moves...
I love iTunes, really, I do.
I have a radio stream going all day and night, and the iTMS is addictive as crack.
I have noticed some missing albums, but I'm sure Apple will have that worked out in due time.
Count me in for some paid downloads.
Next people will be talking nonsense about IP over power lines!

Imagine being flagged for social tendencies
If those tendencies are to be pedophiles, then flag away.
This is likely a condition of probation, therefore, voluntary. If they don't like it, let them rot in prison.
You guys take this "liberty" thing a litle far for convicted felons.
Yes, and I was also on that grassy knoll in Dallas, 1963.
If my friends heard that I, former Mac evangelist, was accused of being an Intel employee, they'd laugh their asses off!
I wish I worked for a Dow 30 company!
But I also don't believe that politeness - or common sense - permits one to say things that will get your arse kicked in if you said it to another's face.
I am agnostic on platforms - a Mac-to-Intel convert. But those Athlon 64's are like $700 aren't they?
I can't afford a G5 either, unfortunately.
