In some cities, the majority of streets are one-way with multiple lanes.. so an intersection of two one-way streets is very common. Because of the multiple lanes on both roads, stop signs are not practical (lights are also used due to traffic volume, but those intersections are generally marked no turn on red).
"For two years, he had the Congress in place to get virtually anything done that he wanted"
This is often repeated by critics of the President, but it's just not true. On almost any issue, Obama is not just negotiating with the GOP, but also with members of his own party. The idea that Congress would do "anything.. he wanted" is a myth, proven false by simple counterexample: if Congress would do anything Obama wanted, why did it take over 2 years from his inauguration to pass a healthcare bill?
Regarding Guantanamo, Obama DID close it with an Executive Order. That order was complicated by poor recordkeeping on many of the detainees, making it difficult to decide their disposition. In the meantime, the Congress (still Democratic-controlled) passed a spending bill that prohibited him from spending money to close Guantanamo.
You could say Bernie Sanders, since he self-identifies as a socialist (which isn't really fringe in the grand scheme of things but is a dirty word in the US). However he technically isn't a Democrat.
The recorder is a real instrument, and uses the same scales and songs that you used to teach your daughter. Sure the versions in schools are cheap plastic, but it's not gimped in any significant way. You can't play the 3rd octave, but that's irrelevant for a beginning student since they don't even get into 2nd octave..
I'm not even sure what your beef is. It seems like you want to justify your purchase of a piano, perhaps. (Sorry, "investment")
Not all the found ballots were from King County. They didn't break all that much heavier than the county as a whole, and it's not unreasonable that absentee voters would have a different voting pattern than the county as a whole.
Here's what I don't get.. you act as if there was never a time when SS didn't exist. But there was, and we know exactly what happens when people have no money at retirement. It's absolutely awful, and it's why SS was created in the first place.
That's not a study, it's a columnist drawing their own conclusions from data, otherwise known as 'analysis'. Furthermore, the website you link to grossly misrepresents the piece. The columnist wrote "If deficit reduction aggravates these biases, more Americans may choose not to have children or to have fewer children. Down that path lies economic decline." The website turned that into: "Samuelson: Higher Taxes Inhibit Having Children, Will Destroy Economy"
The real problem, imo, is that wages have been flat for 30 years, which has led to the near-universal two-income household. After you have one child in that situation, two (or more) becomes much more of a burden than if there is a parent at home.
It's been clear from the beginning that "compromise" is short-hand for "a compromise between spending cuts and tax increases". Not "a compromise between warring GOP factions".
The found votes were from different areas, not all in one district. In King County, Gregiore got 65% of the additional votes. She got 57% of the total votes in that county. All of the King County votes were found in a 3 day period (and most were on one day), not "weeks on end".
The Court created Abbott Districts. Corzine approved a new funding formula which technically eliminated the Abbott Districts. Christie cut further from there but was reversed by the Court.
When you root an android it doesn't give superuser to all apps. You approve it on an app-by-app basis, and then for each app on a command-by-command basis. At least that was my experience with z4 on a d2.
Did you even read the link you posted? How do you plan on joining the "iPhone Developer Enterprise Program", which is "for companies with 500 or more employees"?
No, that wasn't even proposed, let alone implemented. It was a comment in a report to Congress that got blown way out of proportion. Very similar to the "miles driven tax" that people claimed Obama was proposing. It's just some bureaucrat filling out the pages of a report, not a serious proposal.

So corporations are some kind of benevolent dictator?

Should be "why did it take over a year from his inauguration...", not 2 years.

A judge can 'set aside' a verdict.
You could say Bernie Sanders, since he self-identifies as a socialist (which isn't really fringe in the grand scheme of things but is a dirty word in the US). However he technically isn't a Democrat.
When that insistence (which is also immediate) would result in the collapse of the worldwide financial system, yes, it is extremist.

The Consumer Confidence Index from the Conference Board is just a big opinion poll. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_Confidence_Index
American Exceptionalism works both ways..
This is a poor methodology.
The Bush Tax Cut was already passed when Pelosi and Reid became Speaker/Leader. You're assigning that debt to them even though they voted against it.
It took until 2007 to get back to 2000 revenues in inflation-adjusted dollars.
As %GDP, it still hasn't recovered (part of this is due to the recession, naturally).

Please point us to any government employee, elected or otherwise, who has said in any way that things are "just peachy".
No there wasn't.
I'm struggling to find anything in the writeup that implies Reagan invented the practice or that he was a liar.

Note that it must be a *legal* u-turn, otherwise you give them probable cause to stop you.
