Heh, personally, I think Obama is like a submarine patent.
The Republicans knew they couldn't win, so they got together with "them" to put "him" in office.
The understanding is, that if anything really objectionable gets signed into law, it can later be nullified on the grounds that Obama wasn't really qualified to start with.
Come on, we all know this is leading up to an Illuminati like climax in a few decades, where someone, with the proper papers and legal claim, becomes the "legitimate" ruler of All Man Kind.
The joke is on them, however, because, with luck, there will be genetically modified "people" who no longer feel unity with "Man Kind".
(Well, I made a stab at it... I don't know how real conspiracy theorists can persist, they might be genuinely mentally ill. It's exhausting!
The "extra" 1 out of 7 represent a better than 14% return, which is excellent. Just the sort of trade secret any major trading house would love to have.
I still remember a story about this, so vividly, from when I was a kid. I must have seen the movie too, whatever.
The point is that the ants are just waiting until we can't fire up the moats anymore. As soon as you give up your SUV, with it's 35 gallon gas tank, you are toast (not the ants)!
GPS doesn't just say "how far", as is proposed, but as suggested, it can also say "where" (and when). Aside from the privacy issues of "where have you been", it is just the next step to charging different rates depending on when you use the roads, or which roads you use.
Like lots of taxes it is not because they really want you to drive less, they just want more control over you and more of your money.
Look for a gps device lobbyist in here somewhere. Also toss in some lawyers/insurance companies, who will be able to access your data to use against you, in case you happen to speed, etc.
(Besides, is gas use really going down? I though more and more got used every year.)
I mean, he is already old. Why wasn't he "disappeared" already? Drinking little fruity drinks with umbrellas, on a beach somewhere, as "senor smith"?
I guess he never thought he would die, so he didn't chose to die in luxury with his ill gotten gains. Too much ego. His apologies were all about him. Now he will die on our (tax payer) dime, with not one whit of societal difference.
Rumor has it my Grandparents died some horrible death somewhere. Didn't know them, never did. Don't care, how could I?
I'm considered a pretty nice, easy going guy.
IMHO, the world would be a lot better off if you didn't give a shit who may or may not have wronged your grandparents too.
Ok, Actually, my grandparents were from some F'd-up eastern European place, let's say, for the sake of argument, Transylvania. Yeah, maybe they were really spooky folks and they needed to be offed...
Anyhow, maybe Ektachome was the only film that could capture ektoplamic images, huh? What about that? Now you won't be able to buy the only film that could prove that ghosts, werewolves, and (yes) vampires! are stalking you!
As long as you (the tax payer) is providing... the more the merrier.
If I have 50 tax payer supported kids now, sure, their life may suck, but in 100 years, my offspring will OWN your offspring, in sheer numbers if nothing else!
Years ago I just declined to offer my SSN. No big deal. The agent entered all zeros and I was on my way.
A few years later, I needed to re-open an account with Sprint, I think. 000-00-0000 was no longer accepted by their computer. At that time 111-11-1111 was still ok.
Eventually, I just starting giving semi random SSN's in these situations.
Now, even that doesn't work. The last time I accidentally transposed a few digits in my SSN, it was kicked back and I was asked "can you please verify your SSN, it's not matching". Not matching what, I am not sure.
Better be careful - you wouldn't want to goad Microsoft into turning "Clippy Bob" into a Linux
app.
Heh, I thought you said;
Closed source companies have to add useless and failed
features to public domain projects, to confuse and muddy the waters, otherwise the investors may sue the company.
I mean, there has to be some disadvantage to being poor, right?
Even Obama says we can save money in health care, for example, "by reducing excess medical tests".
That's brilliant - we can save money on something by purchasing less of it! So there you go.
Look, "medical care" is a scarce resource. (When you call your doctor for an appointment, does he say, come on in, I'm not doing anything right now! No, it's "see you 3 weeks from next Tuesday".)
The time honored way of allocating scarce resources is by putting a price on them. Those who can pay for them get them.
The definition of being poor is having little money. Ergo, they will have less of anything that costs money.
I don't use "Not Q. Real" for name on employment applications. I don't use my real name online. Completely different people, any similarity is a coincidence.
You know, one can be both clueless and truthful at the same time. For example, consider voters who truthfully think they are voting for the right candidate.

Jeff Goldblum's estate?
Did he die again?.
the only things worth talking about are consumer products

Yeah, but if you include the word "password", "admin" or in your tests, you usually get the answer in a lot fewer than 2^119 test keys.

Define "Work"...
"Talk to the hand"
Nope.
I know my parents. I know my kids.

"Silver" is the connection. Nuff said.
Why does the top Google for tap dance nine iron" come up with a reference to farting?
Ah, loose associations (to childhood jokes).
unless you don't mind having kids
WOOT!
As long as you (the tax payer) is providing... the more the merrier.
If I have 50 tax payer supported kids now, sure, their life may suck, but in 100 years, my offspring will OWN your offspring, in sheer numbers if nothing else!
Yeah, and they ought to put the "pleasure spikes" on the INSIDE, too!
Without friction, life itself would not be possible.
Well, begetting future generations would certainly be much less fun at any rate.
People are always the problem.

Thanks! I didn't know about that. Every once in a while one of my rants is validated. I'll pass that around.

That reminds me, there ought to be a law that congress (and the president) must actually read what they vote on/sign into law.
That ought to slow things down a bit, which is a good thing, when talking about bureaucracies.
I don't have an account on any of those sites.
I don't use "Not Q. Real" for name on employment applications. I don't use my real name online. Completely different people, any similarity is a coincidence.
Yup - works as flamebait either way in the USA - for stupid Bush voters AND idiot Obama voters.
It was an on-sub-topic reply, even if the sub-topic was veering off-topic, if you catch my drift.
I also didn't mention thoughtful voters who voted whichever way, nor voters who voted knee-jerk for their party, whilst holding their noses...
I am apathetically aware of my excellent karma, so, no worries.
