The ONLY exclusive power the President has is to grant pardons and reprieves. All other powers are subject to approval by Congress. Even the, much flaunted, Commander-in-Chief power: "The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States;" (emphasis mine).
I think you've got your emphasis mixed up. The "when called into" bit refers to the militia. The President is the cinc of the armed forces at all times, and the militia too when it's needed.
The text says the president has limited powers. The truth is that the president can do what he pleases to the extent that the congress or the courts do not stop him.
The whole idea of a tax haven or a loophole, is that it is legal. They exploit the letter of the law to avoid the spirit. There is only the presumption of innocence in a criminal sense. This is a political question.
One of the scarier things about the Cheney philosophy to governing was that he knew the judiciary was so slow. In a presidential term of four years, scandals at the very beginning just might work their way through by the end of the first term. Sometimes faster as in Watergate, but usually slower.
The executive also has the huge luxury of using tax dollars and the federal bureaucracy to lean on their political opponents. If they decide to do X, all it takes is an executive order and it's done. To overturn the decision, barring an act of congress, opponents have to undertake the lengthy and expensive litigation. And Cheney chose to litigate EVERYthing, using the entire weight of the federal bureaucracy, stonewalling at every turn, whereas the opponents would be forced to pick and choose court battles.
Don't feel too bad. It's rather useless with drivers as well. With mine, there was more feedback from the noise of the motors than meaningful vibration.
I don't know where you live, but the highways here are relatively congested. I like to not tailgate very much, but leaving a imo safe distance between you and next car is an invitation for someone to pull into that spot. Slow down to open up a safe following distance, and the process is repeated over and over again.
Thank you bluesman. I feel totally vindicated in my.. oh nevermind.

Ensign what is that peace sign doing on your phasor bank console? You'd better get your head and your ass wired together, or I will take a giant shit on you!
I think this is true, but what do you think is the cause of this?
While we're generalizing, I think it has to do with the inverse correlation (or stereotype) of math and science with social skills. In my geekier, awkward-ier days, math and science were havens for me because there was a right answer, no persuasion necessary, it's either right or wrong.
Going back to disdain, I don't think there is a disdain necessarily for intellectuals, but some negative values associated with intellectualism: smugness, elitism, etc, etc.
From my experience on a medium population server, the initial areas at the expansion were a giant cluster of 50 people grinding on the same quest mobs. Those best geared will move through the expansion material fastest, but really it's more of a function of organization and willingness to put in the hours to move through the leveling content and the various keying quests for raids. If you have ok lvl 70 gear, and decide you want to go balls deep and get into the top tier guilds for the next expansion, you just have to make sure you get through leveling as quickly as possible, and being a underrepresented class can't hurt. It really is a levelling of the playing field, then as time goes on, the stratification between the hardcore and the casual pulls out.
I was more dissapointed when the expansion came out that I hadn't seen all of the lvl 60 endgame stuff. Our guild was just starting Naxx when the expansion started to loom close, and the interest in those nights of learning new encounters dwindled, and we were left with just pvping until the expansion came out.
I just hope I can experience all the lvl 70 stuff before the next expansion comes out.
I don't see why electronic machines can't be used. They have all the advantages of being flexible to things like late changes to the ballot, accessibility for other languages, the blind, etc.
But why does the electronic record have to be *the* vote? The voter can do his thing on a touchscreen, hit submit ballot, then a human and machine readable ballot is printed and deposited by the voter in a locked ballot box. The printed ballot is *the* vote. A preliminary count can be made within minutes of the polls closing using the electronic record. A final count can be made of the printed ballots. A recount can be done by machine and by hand to make sure they all jive.

"Jobs proves CEOs are worth their pay,"
The Jobs-Fiorina comparison makes almost the opposite point seeing as Jobs's salary is $1 and Fiorina's was ~$8M
Harness the analytical and the fastidious.
John Stone Fitness really impressed me. He applied an almost OCD level of detail to his diet and exercise regime and kept records of the results.
iirc, he works at home and has a home gym. Check out the animated gif of his first results. Very impressive.

They move to the suburbs and start voting republican?
adding more 0s doesn't get you anything.
But adding more 1s gets your amp to play to 11.

Democrat is a noun, Democratic is an adjective, despite what Rush tells you.

All adjacent areas are reporting increased energy and mineral production. Peculiar worms have also been reported in the area.
Depends on how gullible your match holder is.
I want to be in your field if only to be able to use words like "agglutinative morphemes."

Probably strap on their jet packs, and fly home to spend time with their families and pet dragons.
We won't actually beat them, it's jus that the terrorists in Iraq will be too busy playing Duke Nukem Forever to fight the Americans.

"We're all Keynesians now." --Richard Nixon
There's truth to that too. The primary difference between the Keynesians is more who gets the government money than anything else.
I wish they would do the opposite and make pre-60 instances available with heroic modes.
Heroic VC? Hell yeah!

Isn't this the obvious solution?
