Excuse me, but this is Slashdot. Please try a location where you're more likely to obtain thoughtful political insights... like the checkout line at Wal-mart, or an elevator, or/b/.
The announcement of Anonymous Coward's remake of his review of Anonymous Cowar's skathing criticism of Anonymous Coward's review of CmdrTaco's review of X-Men:First Class was initially exciting, but tapered off toward the end. I give it twelve quatloos.
Our either throws the package on the ground by the mailbox or, if it is dangerously large, leans it against the door in the hopes it will crush the unaware occupant when she attempts to exit. I wish I was joking.
Now, if Palin's communication skills were a little better, we could have figured that out instead of creating another "57 states" or "series of tubes" meme.
A correction: it wasn't 14,000, it was 7,500. I assume that families had to cough up the rest of the cash-- even though they already paid their "fair share" of school taxes. The bill that passed the House this year would up it to $12,000.
MODERATOR WARNING: FACTS AHEAD!
It seems like the districts we spend the most on are the WORST ONES. For example, D.C.'s public schools spend over $24,000 per student, yet they graduate fewer than half. Meanwhile, the students in the voucher program went to private schools costing less than $14,000 per student and I don't think any of them failed to graduate. The voucher program cost less money and was more successful, so naturally OBAMA KILLED IT. Draw your own conclusion about this man.

The superintendent's point is well taken, but I hope no one really thinks that students have a "right" to three meals at school. Because we have compassion, we pretty uniformly offer free or reduced lunch to poor students. But now, many schools offer free breakfast or even dinner. Should our kids be in a de facto state boarding school? If mom and dad-- ha ha, just kidding about the dad part-- can't provide two lousy meals to their kids, maybe that issue needs to be resolved directly. Prisoners get three squares because, even in prison, obviously you still have your right to life. Speaking of rights:
We provide all of these things to prisoners because they have constitutional rights.
There's nothing in the constitution that indicates everyone, much less prisoners, are entitled to weight rooms, libraries, internet access, or "free" health care.
But questioning whether beef should be in every meal - that's heresy in much of the US. It's not a meal if there's no beef!
Attack a straw man much? Few people think BEEF should be in every meal. Your kind want to force everyone to eat no meat, and that's NOT a straw man. Evidence:
Cutting out beef at least solves one ill; if you can't get them to be nice to their own children (ala, the beef is what is killing the planet) then you're certainly not going to get them to be nice to animals.
The firewall is on by default, so you won't be owned. By the way, there was a firewall in the first release of XP, but it was harder to use. Still, it could be turned on before you connected to the internet. Oh, and automatic updates have always been capable of being set to wait for you to reboot. If your settings changed, it's because your domain policy or some other software (like crappy antivirus) changed it.
You know what? I don't play the straw man game. Give me such an insulting response, and I won't dignify it with a response. Oh ok, one thing: rich people don't get cancer?
Unfortunately, that doesn't protect you from drive-by attacks while visiting hacked sites with embedded flash malware. Really, you have to run as a non-privileged user because even a truly secure browser needs to run these plugins that are constantly needing to be patched.
Sorry, but I have to call you out on this one. Cars may have two different warning lights connected to the lubrication system. The standard "oil" light tells you if the oil pressure is out of spec, or the oil pump (or the sensor) has stopped functioning. The other kind of light started appearing on cars about 20 years ago, and it's a timer/counter that tells you to change the oil when either the recommended time period or mileage has been exceeded. You can play with the second one a little bit, because the need to change the oil varies with oil type and driving conditions, but not the first one.
That being said, driving 50,000 miles with a Geo Prizm is highly inadvisable. It's nice that the car seemed to keep going, but even if it had synthetic oil and was driven only on the highway and only at moderate speeds, it should have had the oil change far before then. Even if the oil doesn't break down, it's still carrying dirt and metal particles, and eventually the filter will become clogged.
I doubt it. Don't geeks breathe? Most of them support the health care bill, which taxes you for still breathing. To be fair, localities have had "per capita" taxes for breathing for years.
A lot of people don't vote for things which are good for themselves now, they vote for things that will be good when they get rich. That is the American Dream (TM) an also Thatcher's biggest con in the UK. Most people never get rich, they spend their lives working for someone else for a salary.
And whose fault is that? If you want to be rich, you change how you do things. You don't wait for them to happen, or expect someone else to change things for you. I'm always impressed with how easily the left criticizes people for being optimistic and selfless by not always voting for their own present, selfish interest.

We couldn't afford the fence, so we thought the shark was a reasonable way to mitigate the issue.
Cat flap? Crazy Brits. Why don't you call it a pussy slot like we Americans do?

They could be Michelle Obama fans. After all, she said on the campaign trail in 2008 that we need to "change our history".
Now, if Palin's communication skills were a little better, we could have figured that out instead of creating another "57 states" or "series of tubes" meme.

I see you love education, so once you're done bashing the GOP, don't forget to ask Obama why he killed the D.C. voucher program.

Not for my sake, but try one of these next time: ************ SPOILER *************
Sorry, I don't eat out very often, so I don't eat beef every meal. I guess it's the vegetarians who eat out all the time. This omnivore has a kitchen.
Did Warren Buffett die recently?

Nice to see Germany still practices religious persecution.
