Oddly enough, the National Debt increased every year of Clinton's terms of office.
Strange that he could manage a "balanced budget" while the National Debt increased, isn't it?
Yeah, it's called interest. The budget is balanced, but the interest on the debt causes the debt to increase.
Sadly, its primarily Aircraft Carriers that are aflicted with this cursed disease. If I ever come to power, the Navy will not get a dime until it renames the Reagan, Bush, Vinson, and Ford as Yorktown, Lexington, Saratoga and Hornet, the next one after that had better damned well be named Enterprise!
Why would you want to rename USS FORD? http://www.ford.navy.mil/default.aspx You're unhappy about the convention of naming carriers for people who fund the Navy, and then you rename a frigate.
Your survival instinct stops you. The tokens are clearly known to be from specific pachinko parlors. You can't get your hands on fake ones. If you set up a successful operation to provide fake tokens in sufficient numbers that you hurt their income, they kill you or take other appropriate action. It's just not done. If you're enough of an outsider that you don't understand the system, you won't be able to exchange the tokens for cash in the first place, or no one will miss you when you are gone.
I always figured it was us guys giving the women something of immediate value (dinner, etc) in exchange for putting up with our barbarian tendencies long enough for some of our better qualities to shine through and convince them that we were worth the effort needed to civilize us.
they have made no effors to try to weed out the illegal activity,
That's why they have the "report this post button" and if you click on the racy-sounding ads that are the most recent you get a message that says it's been disabled and is being deleted. They're doing something about the ones that are blatant. Craigslist isn't a vigilante, they aren't tasked with suppressing freedom of speech because it might refer to illegal activity. Do you want to bust them because someone posts that they are 420 friendly? Has that number been declared illegal and discussion of it no longer protected?
I think they declared themselves an independent fiefdom years ago. They don't owe any allegiance to the Democratic party. They owe allegiance to the machine.
I'll certainly agree that the mayors aren't part of the religious right, though.
Actually they did, it was called Travel Manager, and it worked slightly better than GovTrip. It also didn't cost $13.50 every time we processed a travel voucher.
The south is especialy culpable because 50 years before during the War of 1812, when the New England states tried to open negotitations with the national government on seceding, the south was foremost in calling it treason. 50 years later they decided treason was perfectly fine.
Because if it succeeds, then none dare call it treason!
If a doctor told me that he was giving me a drug that would help me in 15 years but could not tell me what it would do to me next week--I would not take it.
So, do you take vitamins? Do you take that Vitamin E pill like a lot of us do because it'll decrease the chance of developing prostate problems? How about B-12 to help maintain your brain?
There were two papers written about it, one was in Scientific American. Everything else was media hoopla. Carl Sagan was going on about nuclear winter, but mostly the "global cooling" stuff is being resurrected by people who are politically motivated.
mcmonkey was referring to the flight attendant safety speech before takeoff. If you decide to follow your own suggestion and attack the flight attendant, please do it while I'm not on the plane.
Just run an ad in the paper saying something like this
"Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success."
Evidence suggests you'll get more volunteers than you can use.

Well, it'd be nice if they accepted my testimony in a court of law.
You'll probably have to negotiate that with a nightstick first.

What, have they forgotten the raid on Steve Jackson Games?
Sorry, I missed her. Only saw active ships.

And don't send them to just any prison. Make sure it's a "federal-pound-me-in-the-ass" prison.
What is that in football fields?
I think we perfected it a while back.

Prior to Pearl Harbor Japan never attacked and sunk most of the USA fleet with a surprise aerial attack.
But the British did it to the Italians at Taranto before the Pearl Harbor attack.

Didn't DD Harriman sell the rights to not do that?
