It's Obamacare that specified 700B of cuts to Medicare in the baseline budget.
And it's Ryan who proposed abolishing it altogether.
. Ryan's budgets keep Social Security the same for anyone currently over 55
Somehow "Screw You if You're Over 55!" doesn't have the ring if an effective campaign slogan to me. But if that's what you want to go with, more power to you.
Trying to win Florida without Marco Rubio, while advocating abolishing Medicare and SSA--yeah, good luck with that.
Then I'm pretty sure that what Paul Ryan did in high school can be too.
But seriously, I'm a lot less concerned with what Paul Ryan did in high school that what he has done since. I'm not sure what Romney was thinking on this one (excite a base that was ALREADY excited, that would have come out to vote against Obama no matter who you chose?). But he just gave the Democrats an incredible gift. Because he didn't just excite the Republican base, he also just excited the Democratic base (and scared the hell out of the independents, and conceded Florida). Many Democrats were disenchanted with Obama and probably wouldn't have come out to vote for him again in the fall. But stacking him up against an insane-right-wing Ayn Rand ideologue who wants to abolish Medicare and Social Security to give tax cuts to the wealthy is a pretty fucking great way to motivate them. I'm not sure if this is some form of political suicide or just incredibly bad advisers, but either way--speaking as a Dem--thanks, buddy.
Don't call something "likely" when there's no precident, evidence or expressed intent for it.
Don't kid yourself. There is a reason Sweden has went to such extraordinary lengths to get him back (for a crime he hasn't even been charged with) and why they've twice now refused to question him in both the UK and Ecuadorian embassy. And it isn't because they've suddenly decided to become great defenders of justice for women who've both expressed ambiguity about the whole case.
Wii, Wii U, Gamecube--I'm pretty sure they're all back there. I would look closer to be sure, but my entertainment system became self-aware some time ago and it zaps me with some sort of electrical field if I get too close to it.
I already had to add an extra power circuit in my living room to accommodate my Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U, OnLive console, Valve console, Atari 2600, Region 1 blu-ray player, Region 2 blu-ray player, Laserdisc player, VCR, DVR, POW, laptop, Apple Mini, 100-speaker sound system, and 300" 4D TV.
Last week my dog disappeared and I'm pretty sure he's somewhere behind my entertainment center. If anyone has some mountain climbing gear and a Jaws of Life, I would very much appreciate a hand.
Well I think we all know that a making the cover of a business magazine is pretty much the guaranteed path to a bright future in the internet startup world.
Is this report counting the *real* programming and IT jobs, or just the ones that companies post with ridiculous qualifications, just so they can run to Congress and claim they can't find American personnel to fill them and get more H1-B visas?
You know, generally speaking, the underground only thrives when there is a vacuum to be filled.
I wonder how many violent drug cartels, gun-toting dealers, and drug-related shootings there are in countries where it's legal to buy from a pharmacy or dispensary.
Funny, when I read the parent post, "Idiocracy" the first thing that came to my mind too. A society of dumbasses seems a far more likely future scenario than some Star Trek socialist/intellectual utopia.
I was just thinking how awesome it was watching NASA TV compared to NBC Olympic footage
I was thinking that too. It occured to me that 99% of the people in the U.S. were tuning into the Olympics, but I bet almost no one was watching NASA-TV. Hell, my cable provider didn't even have the landing coverage listed correctly in their guide (IIRC, it showed it as "ISS Mission Coverage").

Well, presumably, you would have to at least add a mention of him getting picked as VP nominee. But this wouldn't otherwise be a bad idea.
But Obama's cliques in college are, of course.

Is there a "Save as Keynote" option in Powerpoint?
No, kidding. Unless he was buying a very nice TV, he would have been better off keeping the rifle.

I guess last week's little stunt with creating fake documents under some else's name didn't get them enough publicity.
Assuming that was even them and not a false flag operation from one of their MANY enemies.
Actually he's currently hiding out in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, trying to dodge extradition to Sweden (and likely, to the U.S.).

My TV only has so many inputs, you know.

Hah! Like they haven't already patented "a method of sending a digital photograph over the internet."

Most of the greats I know of were wildly wrong in their predictions. Maybe you live in an alternate timeline.
Forest Whitaker's finest film, if you ask me.
Well, the rent is cheap.
Speed of light can be soo damn slow ...
I blame Einstein.
They built the first rover, PERIOD. It looked surprisingly like our modern ones.
And now we go to Asian reporter Trisha Takinawa and her interview with landing team member #20:
Tom, I'm cutting into the exciting live feed to ask this random asshole how the landing makes him feel...
