Exactly. "Developmentally Disabled" is bullshit.

Its not that these children are legitimately disabled, a lot of them just DON'T WANT TO LEARN. My mom was in the public education for several years, and there was something she always told me, "The politicians don't understand. They just want good test scores, and that means teaching to the lowest common denominator."
The only way to resolve the issue is to take those kids who do not want to learn through conventional education and put them into technical or art programs, so they will at least learn something they enjoy and will be able to use to support themselves.
Money was originally budgeted and a Holland-style flooding protection system was started in New Orleans back in the late 1970s. The reason it was never completed has nothing to do with government incompetence, corruption, or the Army Corps of Engineers. It was never completed because the crazy psycho environmentalists kept suing the government over the project, and after a couple of hundred lawsuits, the budget was GONE, and the project was cancelled!!!
And why is it derived from sugar in Brazil and corn in the U.S.?
That's right, government subsidies in the U.S. for corn ethanol production. In fact, there is a 100% tariff on ethanol from Brazil because the Iowa corn farmers want to keep getting their government subsidies.
This act would've been very useful after Katrina in New Orleans. Governor Blanco refused to call out the national guard to do law enforcement functions, until days of looting occured. The President and FEMA were helpless to stop it.
They were supposed to offer free cards to those who couldn't afford them, but failed to do so... I'd say that's more a failure of bureacracy than racism, as the NAACP claimed.
Georgia didn't require this - the ID did not cost a dime and was going to be paid for by taxpayers money. They even had plans to send people out to your house to take a picture if you couldn't afford to come into the county courthouse, or were otherwise unable to... however, its still "racist" and still violates the Voting Rights Act.
Don't want fraud? Simple: Give people free state-issued id cards, and make them prove who they are when they vote. Do it by paper ballot. And enforce the election fraud laws when someone is caught tampering with ballots.
Can't do that... it'd be racist. Georgia already tried it and failed.
The Liberty Dollar is also among the payment types banned, even though it is one of the few things actually worth sometime (they're real precious metals).
I probably should've been more specific. I was referring to E85 Ethanol - once the price of ethanol is the same or lower than gasoline, a certain percentage of pumps around the state will have to sell E85 ethanol. However, if the price goes up, the change will not be reversed. The law benefits our agriculture secretary, Bob Odom, who is best known for illegally building sugar cane processing plants using his own office employees.
We are notorious for money wasting projects, corruption (see Edwin Edwards, Huey P. Long, and his brother Earl K), and really bad legislators. This legislative session we've passed a law that changes the state flag (and requires them to be replaced on state buildings), forces the sale of ethanol within a few years (because our Agricultural Secretary runs the state with an iron fist), and increases state spending from $19 billion to $27 billion a year!!! Seriously, I think we would fare better as a federal protectorate.
Why do science and God always have a problem co-exisiting? Its always been my understanding from the various history and physics classes I've taken that scientists like Einstein and Newton have acknowledged the existance of a God and his influence.
West Feliciana Parish, where this crime took place, is home of the infamous Angola prison. The parish has a lot of prisoners families, and in addition, its probably the most boring place in Louisiana (except when they hold the annual prison rodeo). So to me this suggests one of two things:
1. The kid is prone to violence from coming from a bad family or...
2. He's REALLY FREAKIN' BORED and got in trouble because of that boredom. Its a proven fact that BOREDOM leads to trouble, not video games.
Volusia county is also the county that caused Al Gore to initially declare defeat in 2000. During election night Al Gore was leading Bush with a comfortable margin. At 10om someone uploaded a card that reported -16,022 votes for Al Gore and 10,000 for some socialist canidate all from a precinct with 600 voters.
Got a source? Thats right, no - because you're obviously smoking the partisan crack. In the 2000 election, Florida used the infamous butterfly ballot and scantron-style ballots... no voting machines.
Considering the fact that the Device Manager screenshot from the iMac Core Duo shows an abudance of "Unknown devices" (including the display adapter), and considering the drivers for these devices probably do not exist for Windows, I don't see people playing games anytime soon.
Yes, but power-hungry Democrats have actually helped this country and its people. FDR packed the supreme court and installed himself for an unprecedented 3rd time. Talk about abuse of power. But, he got us in a good position to win WWII, and his New Deal programs modernized the US, so that now America is a modern industrial country like those in Europe, instead of a corrupt, poor backwater bananna republic like in Central and South America.
Uh... NO. World War II modernized our country, not any of FDR's "New Deal" crap. The New Deal was an effort to get America out of the Great Depression and, according to all economists, was an abysmal FAILURE. It was not Mr. Roosevelt's New Deal that modernized the US and got us out of the Depression, it was the war itself.
Sir, my entire family is from New Orleans - it has nothing to do with the "republican dominated government". You yourself even said so - the Governor and the Mayor have been requesting for YEARS... since the 70s, in fact.
The problem now: our incompetent moron Governor, Kathleen Blanco. The federal government would've helped a lot... if they had been allowed in by the Blanco regime.
Lafayette, by the way, has one of the best public utility systems around. LUS has always been self-sustaining, sells power to other utilities to lower ratepayer burden, and Lafayette is one of the cities that when hit by a hurricane, always amanges to get the power back on within a few days. They've also done an amazing job of cleaning up the neglected Vermilion river.
I can attest to this. I grew up in Youngsville, which is part-LUS and part-Entergy. When Allison came thru a few years ago, my neighborhood was without power for nearly 2 weeks, while the LUS neighborhood was back up within a few days.

Your boss is just blowing shit out of his hole. If you didn't sign a contract of any kind, then you're free to leave at anytime.

When are we going to begin hearing the liberal bloggers say that this is a campaign of disinformation by the Rove-Dubya-Liberman syndicate???

Wouldn't the Benny Hill theme be more appropriate for this video??
This would be much more effective if the protesters had like level 5 HAZMAT suits rather than outfits that make them look like commercial fishermen.
This is like reliving a horrible, traumatic experience all over again.

This sounds like it came out of a really bad episode of Sliders.
Mormons are in Utah.... that's almost as bad as 10' of water.

Yes, but if you're in Texas, you should look behind you... 'cause that's where the Ranger's gonna be.
