I got the date wrong by a year, it was 1860.
That year, four candidates actually won electoral votes, but it was a brand new party that won the election.
The IOC could easily have set benchmarks for water quality and time tables and made arrangements for a backup venue if the cleanup couldn't happen in time.
They still can (and should!!) do that right now. It would cost a little bit of money, but they could easily say, "we are moving the rowing and swimming to the Mississippi River outside Council Bluffs." Alternately, they could go to Europe, or Australia. I guarantee there is a venue that would accept them at this late date. Even if they decided to change next week, it would still be ok. Even if they had to delay those portions of the olympics to next month, it would be ok. It might even be better, because it would extend the coverage of the olympics for an extra month. They are not only corrupt, they are utterly incompetent morons.
I have to admit that I don't really understand why any population with a lick of sense would want to play host to such a beast, though.
I read an article about it........it seems in the late 70s or so, the IOC was having some trouble finding venues because of reasons that make sense and you could probably list them. Along the way, cities started realizing that the olympics if done right could be a great source of revenue (from advertising or something, I can't remember what, sorry) and started fighting to host it. Probably cities are even more anxious to host it when they can reduce their expenses by getting 'help' from a national government.
Look at the poll numbers of voters who are opposed to pornography. Trump did before signing that thing (it's definitely not a deeply held belief of his).
That's true but let's be honest, they're still bitter about Waterloo, and King Henry the 8th (remember Agincourt) and probably the Scarlet Pimpernel. The French always want to stick the knife in.
Yeah, your examples of "companies wouldn't survive" is kind of underwhelming compared to the predictions. I didn't get it at first either (because my primary source of info about Y2K at the time was the Communications of the ACM). Then my sister asked me, "are we going to die because of y2k?" She had the idea that power everywhere was going to be cut, marauders would be raiding on the horizon, nuclear power plants would explode........basically the end of everything. Y2K was blown out of proportion in the media.
You are saying that Clinton doesn't flip-flop? Try to figure out if she favors or opposes TPP. Try to figure out how she feels about invading Iraq. I like Clinton (here is an example why), but lets not pretend that she's not a politician. Also, Trump put his own platform down fairly clearly during his RNC speech (did you watch it?)
But anyway, what thy actually think and do is a little irrelevant here where we're talking about how their fans perceive them.
I'll be honest, I really like the hammer. What do you think? I have to admit I have an emotional attachment to wirestrippers that came after I could finally afford them, after spending years trying to (painfully) strip wires with a knife as I was growing up........

they're both running against the only opponent they could conceivably defeat.
That's pretty clearly not true, since both of them have defeated other opponents......and Hillary very nearly did beat Obama, it was close.

Remember Trump making his hats in China? Complete and total fabrication [snopes.com].
Wow, I didn't guess that one. I didn't check it because I don't really care, but I figured it was true.
The debates are really the next big pivot point in the campaign. That's when the feeling of opposition between the two parties will really set in.
There's never been a better time to vote third party. (Except maybe in 1859)
Not everything we know comes from randomized, large-scale trials. There are other ways to gain knowledge. This link shows why randomized, large-scale trials are not always the best idea.
You don't have to floss every day. Once a week is enough. Your dentist won't even be able to tell the difference.
That's a really great idea, thanks. (great because for me, it's achievable).
Uh, xie got all xer information from somewhere, sure.
Primarily the IPCC report.
Crap blogs are misleading.

You get all your information about climate change from a blog.
Bush sucked donkey balls that's true.
Did you watch Trump's RNC speech?
I think this is what the AC is talking about.
AFAICT it wouldn't have mattered, by multiple measurements 2015 was warmer than 2008.
Especially since 2008 appears to have been one of the cooler years.

the Internet would be a ghost town.
That would be better. Most of the stuff on the internet is negative value.
Those are some really big cognitive biases you have there, friend.
This is fundamentally a horrible MS security bug,
That's true too.
If the UK voted to leave the EU, there is little chance that it will vote to join the U.S.
Hey, but at least they wouldn't be taxed without representation!
France seems to want to stick the knife in

in Britain should be freaking out about the brexit.
Freaking out isn't something British really do. "Keep calm and carry on" and keep a stiff upper lip old chap, and all of that.

btw the PL/1 project sounds kind of cool.

1) How MS was going to try to control the used game market (though they later backed off), I went for a PS4 instead of an XboxOne.
I like your overall post, but going with Sony instead of Microsoft? One of those will stab you in the back, the other in the front.
With animations, it must be close.
