Dick Cheney has said Ronald Reagan taught us that deficits don't matter, and during the president's first term deficits have reappeared and bloomed.
Democrats are historically tagged, right or wrong, as "tax and spend." With the Baby Boom aging, a shrinking tax base will have to pay more, proportionally, to maintain the same size government spending.
I am part of the generation that will have to confront the consequences of economic choices made today and the realities of an aging population, and I would like to know how are you looking out for us. What steps are you planning today that will ensure that America is solvent 15 or 30 years from now?
You, quite obviously, have never worked for a transportation company. The term 'sand nigger' wasn't just occasionally used; it was the preferred nomenclature.
We're not a hateful people? How can you use such a generic argument about 270 million individuals? Ever hear of that nut Matthew Hale? Remember what happened to Matthew Shepard? Remember James Byrd being dragged behind a pickup?
Most people are not hateful -- but some are.

A friend of mine is testing one of the HSS models for use in a retail store. He said he was able to send a sound over 300 feet without loss of sound quality.
A football field!
I think a great use for this would be long-range lobbying of our elected officials as they exit cars, restaurants, etc.
Also, I could finally pull off the "Real Genius" Kent prank.
1. COLD FUSION: TRUE BELIEVERS SEE DOE REVIEW AS "VINDICATION."
There hasn't been much to celebrate in the 15 years since the University of Utah held a press conference in Salt Lake City to announce the discovery of "cold fusion." Although a brave little band of true believers continued to trumpet cold fusion, the band leader was publishing "Infinite Energy Magazine." That made it pretty hard to take this stuff seriously. Although there was no press release or announcement, DOE has apparently agreed to take a second look. That's not really too surprising; not since the Reagan administration has unbridled technological optimism so dominated Washington decision making: missile defense, hydrogen cars, hafnium bombs, manned missions to Mars. How are these other ventures doing?...
Wal-Mart owned Dish Network, your service would cost $14.99/month for basic, $49.99 for everything, and any network attempting to extort more money from them would be left shivering and pissing down its own leg 10 minutes into negotiations. Bentonville is scary.
Unfortunately, all the programs would be produced in Bangladesh and Malaysia, with a tuner made by Akai.
This is all very true. However, there should be ways to create ethanol in large quantities without fossil fuels. With large enough tanks for the molten salts which store the heat, you could potentially run 24/7.
With a solar tower, you could provide the heat necessary for creating the slurry which gets fermented, for sterilization, as well as the electricity necessary for grinding, pumping, etc.
Caveat: In the midwest you might be able to provide some solar goodness in the summer, but you're pretty well screwed in the winter -- which is counter to the planting/harvest cycle, of course.
It's possible to write C# code that will perform better than VB.NET code, as there are some differences in what the languages can do.
VB.NET doesn't support unsigned integers, for instance. VB.NET supports late binding, which would perform much worse than C# in similar apps. Also, C# can use unmanaged code blocks, which could also provide better performance.
Okay, I'm stretching, but there are ways in which C# would outperform VB.NET
Your analogy has one giant failure. When Windows has a gaping flaw, we don't see one machine in 1000 exposed -- probably more like 750 in 1000 getting hammered, just like with the Blaster worm or Code Red. Further, these exploits almost ALWAYS give the virus/worm administrative privileges that would be MUCH harder to wrest from a *nix machine.
What is a voice stress analyzer, you might wonder? It is a machine that measures components of the human voice--frequency modulations--that are correlated with stress. No machine can detect stress directly, much less distinguish whether the stress is due to lying, guilt, stutter, fear, constipation, or some other emotion or physical condition. The frequency modulations, called "micro tremors" by those who measure them, must be interpreted by a human being. The machine doesn't do the analysis, the examiner does.
I can't agree with that. When Rick Santorum talked about the (then) pending Supreme Court decision on Texas' sodomy law, he worried about a host of other activities (bigamy, adultery, etc.) becoming free from prosecution as well.
The conclusion you draw is made unworkable by the First Amendment, which prohibits government from telling religions what to do (in non-secular matters).
Thank you, Todd Snider, for your song "Statistician's Blues":
64 percent of all the world's statistics are made up right there on the spot 82.4 percent of people believe 'em whether they're accurate statistics or not I don't know what you believe but I do know there's no doubt I need another double shot of something 90 proof I got too much to think about
The ROTC building was burned and the vandalism happened on Saturday night. The shootings happened on Sunday. That's a bit of a delayed reaction, wouldn't you say?
As someone else noted, the (minority of) protestors who engaged the Guardsmen made the mistake of taking rocks to a gunfight.
Jeffrey Miller didn't, however. He was a full 85 yards from the Guardsmen when he was shot. The other three killed were even farther away. But you probably would have shot them, too (at least, that's what you said). Damned hippies, why do they have to be different?

The thing is useless. It takes forever and a day to do any slicing, and it won't slice through anything too thick.
All I want is a frickin' cheddar block laser-carved into a Borg cube. Is that so hard?

You mention genocide and Germany, but you should also count its Axis partner, Italy (fascism):
"Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism
as it is a merge of state and corporate power."

That's not my sig. This is.
Can a mite war be that far behind?
Glad I got that skull gun set up with cripplers and Hellfires.

Dogs and wolves are in the same genus, Canis, along with various jackals and coyotes.
Did you intend to prove their point for them, or were you merely showcasing your own stupidity?
