The station wagon analogy is an amusing analogy to bring up, because if you're willing to wait for videos to stream off of tape, why not just use your station wagon to go to a video store or Redbox?
But stacking him up against an insane-right-wing Ayn Rand ideologue who wants to abolish Medicare and Social Security
Really? No. For one, Medicare was to be replaced with a system similar to the Dem's own Affordable Health Care Act... and considering all the problems with Medicare, no one should be treating it as a sacred cow. Ryan barely registers above a neocon on the Utilitarian scale.
You act like you are some sort of classical liberal, then you parrot the democratic party talking points. You know that the stimulus bill was designed by Democrats, Obama, and the Apollo Alliance, but you blame it on Bush. You know that there is a constitutional difference between a federal and a state-run health care system, but you ignore it. You know that the President has "invested" tax money into state and local governments, but said the private sector (except for his green energy companies, of course), is "doing fine", but you ignore it. Why do you say these things?
Do you also support all states giving "full faith and credit" to my Pennsylvania gun carry permit?
If not, you're probably just another statist. By the way, I support removing just about all governments' ability to control marriage. It's the only way we can get the activist and politicians to shut up without losing more rights.
Who are the morons who modded this up, when DCFusor couldn't even get the circumstances of Kildall's death right? He died in 1994 IN A BIKER BAR, which was neither a "plane crash" nor "just after failing to come to terms with MS". THIS IS A TROLL; Netcraft confirms it.
I thought the point was that Gene wore a vest... usually a light colored one. And his ties weren't geeky skinny ones that were a few years out of date at the time.
He garnered the AWS seal of approval, which at least requires a minimal level of college credit in meteorology (which he probably acquired from Purdue) and experience. Bill Nye is a mechanical engineer, but that doesn't stop him from using appeals to his own nonexistent authority in the field of climate science.
Just like there is no proof that muslims commit most acts of terrorism. In fact, there seems to be a massive amount of terrorist attacks done by Christians. Muslims may have destroyed the WTC but they weren't the first to try - that was Timothy McVeigh. They just did it better.
What? McVeigh blew up the Murrah building in Oklahoma City in 1995. He had nothing to do with either the 1993 bombing of the WTC or September 11th.
The Norway shooter was a radical Christian conservative. The Unabomber was an atheist. Muslims don't commit more terrorist activities - Muslim terrorists just get more news coverage.
Are you purposely ignoring all the smaller attacks-- you know, suicide bombers in street markets or on buses-- or do you really not read any news? Maybe because people aren't being exploded in your neighborhood, you don't realize that Islamic terrorism is part of life in the Middle East.
Can't help but notice you said "killing spree". We'll just ignore the thousands of homicides committed in the USA with illegally held firearms and focus on the one nutjob who slipped through the cracks.
Wow, that was a bit of doublespeak there. Taking away innocent people's right to defend themselves creates freedom. You're a regular Emmanuel Goldstein.
We moved past capitalism by the Great Depression. It's been proto-fascism and now crony capitalism since then. You have no idea what a free market would be like.

I, for one, am really tired of this shameful hyperbole. It just proves that so few put the well-being of other above their own pet agendas.

Sounds like you are to the "far right" like the Italian Fascists were to the "far right".
No, he is supposed to use Webex over that internet thingy he invented.

That's called "reverse engineering", and it's the concept that allowed Compaq to build the first IBM clone.
The AG for the District of Columbia executes the orders of Congress.
I guess it's up to this guy.
And for the sharks, chow time.
Let's be honest: haven't you heard this guy when he goes off-script? It's not pretty.

Because Bill Nye is a real climatologist.
Just Rei's parts.

Thanks to the lunatic fringe for checking in. Now, please run along and play while the adults have a discussion.

Yeah, actually it is. But he didn't even do that with the AR-15, because it jammed.

Native Americans constitute less than 1.37% of the population. Let's run roughshod over their rights, too. Oh yeah, we already did.
Funny how leftists are only interested in the plight of minorities when it suits them in their thirst for power.
You make a good point. Why is it that Chinese dams have drowned thousands of people, but no one is worried about dams?

ALL energy is subsidized by the US government, which is pretty stupid when you think about it.
