That's because they didn't ask the correct question. What they should have asked was, "what do you not know that cannot be unknown, and when did you know it?"

We want to catch the ones that will strap a bomb to their chest and walk into a crowded venue before blowing it. Those aren't going to be your rocket scientist.
Remember, the ones caught in the UK bombings used their cellphones as triggering devices. Their personal cell phones. With messages and addresses and various other data that an intelligent person that didn't want to get caught might consider incriminating.
heh! Don't knock it. I paid for my wife's wedding ring by walking the street, picking up empty soda-pop bottles. Had to do something, the baby was on its way.
We need to continue drilling the McCain campaign on economic issues. Neither McCain nor Palin has addressed the economy in an intelligent, organized manner.
And what has been Obama's plan, other than "I'll tax the rich and give everyone else $1,000." No, seriously, vote-for-me_'cause-I'll-give-you-stuff is NOT an economic plan.
I just watched the video last night. I don't remember any political candidate being mentioned, and I was waiting to pounce on any such event.
I'm working with a nice young lady from India today. I have conversations with the Korean lady across the aisle almost daily (even though she works in different group). A Vietnamese gentleman trained me for my current position. I'm Native American (I would say Indian, but that would bring confusion with the first sentence of this paragraph), and my teammate is white.
I would say that it is you that needs to get over your 1950's view of American race relations. The horribly racist and xenophobic image comes from being force-fed stories of the actions of a very small minority.
On the other hand, the movie, Obsession, has extensive clips from Muslim leaders openly calling for murder of non-Muslim peoples. They have clips of this being aired by Muslim broadcaster Al-Jazeerah (sp?). Another poster called the video one-sided. The movie claimed 15% of the Muslim population as believing that violence is a valid way to spread the Muslim faith. It said most Muslims believe the extremist to be crazy wackos (my term), but most are held in check by fear. I, for one, can't blame them for remaining quiet. We've seen bombings all over the place, most of them done by Muslims.
Being open to everyone is cool, until they start strapping on the explosive vests. So, having said that, how do I walk the line between being open and not getting blown to pieces?
But RMS doesn't need the printer driver source code. He wants the specs on how to manipulate the parallel port (well, USB port now) to talk to the printer to make it do things. That way, you or I can do whatever we like with the printer we own.
No, especially when most of the closeups are of overweight football coaches.
I was eating at a sports bar a few nights ago during a football game, which I usually avoid and haven't done in a long time. I wasn't used to HD TVs being everywhere, and it was most disgusting.
I stopped laughing when I realized that was all it took to beat down Biden. I started crying when I realized that Obama's was almost identical in the substance (replace hockey mom with change, and replace maverick with George Bush).
You care to do the same analysis on Obama's campaign? Wait! You can't, because he won't release a list of his top advisors. Whenever someone close to the campaign gets called out in a conspiratorially damning relationship of the type you conjure, Obama claims that they weren't advisors.
I guess the easiest way to avoid any sort of controversy is to just not take a stand at all.
Dude, are you clueless. This would NEVER work in America. Could you imagine people having to wait up to TWO hours for results. Two hours of watching Keith Oberlman or O'Reilly spew idiotic vitriol while waiting for results*. Two hours of that sort of punishment will leave large swaths of the populace in a catatonic state. THINK OF THE CHILDREN.
*because we Americans no longer have to genetic disposition to get off our lazy arses and DO real things
They know what to do, but they can't say what they want to do. If they tell the truth, they won't get elected.
Listen to Biden. He went on and on about how the Republicans want to take away the middle class's candy. Insurance vs. federal control. Hell!? How about we let people pay for their own BASIC healthcare, especially the middle class. It's not that expensive and most of it is common sense (quit eating everything in front of you, you fat bastards). Maybe some government support for catastrophic healthcare, since it works for the good of society to keep more people productive, but for chrissake separate the two so there can be a reasonable debate. You don't need a $12000/yr insurance plan so you can see the doctor when you have the sniffle. He can't do nuthin' for you anyway.
Palin had to go on about those "greedy people on Wall street" when asked what caused this financial crisis. You can't say that there are lots of dumbasses taking out loans that any reasonable person would KNOW they can't afford. Though, she did sort of back into that with the "we won't let them do it to us again" comment.
The Dems, as usual, are taking the big daddy government/we'll coddle you from cradle to grave approach. Sounds good to say "chicken in every pot", until people realize that in order for the government to do that, we have to give them the chicken farm.
The Reps have learned from the 80's that telling people to grow a pair will get them labeled as 'mean'. It's a more realistic approach and allows people more freedom, but sounds terrible on the stump, so they are having to be very circumspect in how they go about presenting their message. The Reps know what to do, they just can't share their plan without scaring the sheep who only want to hear fantasy bed-time stories.
I live in an apartment which doesn't have power in the [shared secured] garage for obvious reasons, so plug-in cars are not for me and anyone else in my situation.
So, what you are saying is that a single technology doesn't work for every market segment? I don't often see large apartment complexes out in the country, so maybe the bus would be more appropriate?
No. The ozone produce would artificially age all the plastics and corrode all the metal in such a short time that car will fall apart and you won't have to worry about sitting in it.
I kind of suspect that automakers are resistant to change and don't like the hybrid movement so they try to squelch it by giving us only ugly options.
They don't like change, but it has nothing to do with liking or disliking a particular technology. I seriously doubt they care what they build, as long as someone gives them money for it. What they do dislike, and they dislike it very much, is having a billion dollar manufacturing plant obsoleted by switching to a new technology. Now, that just pisses them off to no end.

The question is, "What will you replace it with?"
No, they will not listen when you say the obvious, which is "Get a real job."

What do they need the week for? Are they waiting for it to bottom out?
What is this "excess weight" you speak of? My Quad-Cab Dodge Ram weighs no more than a typical 4 seater sedan.
The benefits are that a truck suspension is designed to carry the weight of all those batteries.

Not an insignificant point.

So you'll only contribute to NPR if they only hire correspondents that carry water for the Left?
Well, at least we know why you're BitterAndDrunk.

You ask why are Atheists are demonized, and then say Atheists are no threat to Christians, just what they believe in.
Dude, if you are going to pick a fight, you can't be befuddled that the ones you pick on will fight back.
I AM and old fart, you insentive clod!
Now, get off my lawn!
NOT with my dice, damn you.
Don't you know that paper is a static generator.

It can if we use an electron college and put the correct spin on the electorate.
I say those electrons should have to appear on the O'Reilly show and go through the "No-Spin Zone"

In North Carolina, there is a $1,000/yr tax on vehicles using alternative fuels.
