I think you're crazy. I figure most votes are one of 2 things: straight ticket and people voting for the lessor of 2 evils. And voting for Kodos rather than Kang probably happens the most as we're not all in the NRA or are Union workers.*
You say you're "absolutely non-partisan" and then you use "Moore-ites and their ilk". Yup, absolutely non-partisan!
Bush vs Kerry. Flip side of the same coin -- just how it's been forever. No one likes it, but it's been successful so far.
*Yes, I know that's a gross overgeneralization, but you understand the point don't you? don't you?
It happened in jail, not prison. I don't know how often that happens because thankfully, I've never been in jail.
I did mean prison, not jail for having public cameras trained on you. So I totally screwed that response up. I agree with you -- it shouldn't happen in jail.
I looked up Robert Alton Harris and couldn't find the bit about him "sentencing" another guy in jail, but it did occur in jail. If I had time, I'd research one of the books about him and quote the page.
I agree with your points, but there's something you missed -- these are jail cameras, not prison cameras. These are being used during booking and holding (ie, jail), not during incarceration (ie, prison). You're not likely to be ass-raped while in a holding cell in a jail.
Not true. I believe it was Robert Alton Harris, who got the death penalty in California, raped an inmate at the Sacramento jail. Harris held a trial in jail, convicted the other jailbird of being a sissy for only having forged checks, and punished him.
I'm not positive it was Harris, I've read plenty of death sentence stories and some of the names get mixed up.
I say if you're in jail, you've lost your rights and should be on camera.
I'm sure they are protective. This was probably put to them in A Good Way. It's doing THEM a favor. No point in carrying cash, when you have credit cards which are protected even if stolen.
Take it to your own level of whether this is good or bad. I'm sure the comment arguments have already started.
If someone swiped your laptop and you reported "forced" instead of "picked" the cops won't care. They don't check, and they'd have to be pretty pissed at you personally to try to charge you with perjury when it was forced, not picked. Unless they think you're trying some sort of insurance fraud scheme. And with that any perjury charges would be on the side.
I ain't a lawyer, but I know cops, ex-cops and prosecuting lawyers.

It's a 1962 Ducati 250cc. I fly to Australia to pick it up Oct. 12th. Then to New Zealand, then Japan to teach English. Hopefully over to Viet Nam, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia skip around Burma, and over to India then Pakistan. My only plans are Italy & Isle of Man in 2006 for vintage motorcycle races (Motogiro & the TT). Around Europe to Africa. I'd like through the Middle East, but I'll have to get there to find out what it'll be like. Talk to the local tourists & expats.
You said you RTFA. It says the bombs' not armed. Some random guy found the bomb and offered to bring it back up without the Navy coming by and saying "get lost". What's to stop someone else from finding it?
The Navy does a great job keeping out foreign vessels. There's hardly any drugs brought in that way.
I think the panicked people in Georgia have a right be be panicky about a nuke sitting in the nearby ocean. They're not worried about the Russians learning anything from it. They're worried about bomb grade uranium ready for the taking. The feds need to spend the money and bring it back up.
Did you read the article he cited? I'm sure you can't trust the goverment on this (they've said 11 missing bombs and 4 missing bombs), but it appears they were looking in the wrong spot.
Some guy wondering about the bomb, hired some salvagers and found it. It wasn't under guard from the Navy. The feds said it wasn't worth retrieving -- it'd cost $5 million. The guy offered to pick it up for $900,000 and the feds said no.
So if you want a cheap h-bomb with bomb grade uranium, you can pick it up for $900,000. It'd make a good starting bid on eBay.
Thanks. I leave in 2 months to try to ride a motorcycle round the world, so I don't have the time to take a class or read about international business right now. At least I'll experience it. There was a response from an Anon Cow asking for book recommendations though.
I didn't mean Euro vs. US dollar as far as currency conversion for the price of oil. I've read about US dollars being fiat currency and how countries might start switching to Euros. The fear was US dollars would start coming back to the US causing inflation. Examples given were Venezuala and Iraq. They switched, and it was working for them until recent problems arose. Just curious what you think about the US dollar being fiat currency.
Yup, you're correct. My confusion about Yukos and Russian oil production.
Could you explain how a company producing 2% of the world oil could increase the price of oil so much?
I'm sure if say, Rolling Rock quit making beer it wouldn't change the prices of beer. Not sure what percent RR makes of beer production, just using it as an example.
And another thing, do the Russian oil companies trade in American dollars or Euros? I've read the story about Iraq and Venezuala being ignored when they used the dollar, but problems arose as they switched to trading in Euros. I don't know much about world economics, as if my prior post about Yukos didn't prove that to you.

That sounds so much like one of the crappy Legion of Super Heroes that it's amazing. I googled for pictures of Arm Fall Off Boy. Couldn't find any Matter Eating Lad.
I clicked your link and read the Al Roker link and another review of that episode. they don't mention the Katie J bit. I think it's a book publisher getting off their butt because of the angry geek feedback.
I wonder if Amazon bitched about it to Penguin too.
Jesus, who would've thunk a bunch of annoyed geeks to could affect rapid change?
Okay, everyone concentrate until I get superpowers. And I don't want to be the next "Arm Fall Off Boy" or "Matter Eating Lad" (dang Legion of Super Heroes), I want something neat. Some sort of Tad Ghostal powers.
I like that Katie J says, "I have not accepted money" that was offered to her by fellow geeks. Just wait until she receives a bill for the slashdotting.

Bad example that the article starts out with (typical media crap that makes the kid seem like it's just a high school prank). It starts with a story about an kid brandishing a BB gun to rob people. He robbed an off-duty cop with it so the cop's partner shot & killed the kid. There's better examples of cops killing people with fake guns later in the article. But that first kid had to know if the gun looks real enough to rob someone, that someone might think it was a real enough to shoot him over.
There's pictures of the geek's gun in the Wired article, and it looks pretty sci-fi. Not even as "intimidating" as a paint ball gun. If someone got shot over that gun, it'd be an overreaction. Although right or wrong, the geek would still be shot. If he goes out with it, he'd attract less possible fatal attraction in a Star Wars costume. He might get beat up by some jocks, but the cops wouldn't shoot him.
The url, goatp.ath.cx seems suspiciously like goatse, and whenever I see something close, I give it a shot. It's not. Sadly, it's just an add for something useful, like firefox. You ought to be ashamed offering something useful instead of a giant ass.

It does not say on his website exactly how he became the recipient, but I find it hard to believe it came from a direct donation specifically to him.
A quote from the CNN article:
In a statement, Julie Krampitz said "a generous family" donated the organ, and that it was given specifically for her husband.
Speaking of sticky spots, this will probably sit around until someone finds a way of making money off it with porn.

Very nice, but you left out people put to death who later were found out to be innocent.
