You know, you're allowed to ask him to stop if it's distracting you. There's nothing that says only the Professor can do something about annoying behavior.
And yes, I've been in similar situations. I had a class where the prof did not care if people were talking on cell phones or talking amongst each other in the back of the room. As adults, the students were able to take control of the situation and silence the distractions.
Stop the analogies. They don't work. The contract you have with many corporations means absolutely nothing because it contains a clause that says "We can change this at any time". These clauses need to be prohibited. Business groups would be wise to self-regulate and eliminate them on their own before people get pissed enough to demand that government steps in.
The story does not assert that the comment on profit margins came from the MSNBC article. It was an editorial from the submitter. Gotta check those quotation marks.
Doctors get medmal insurance for a reason, so that they're not responsible for medmal damages if they're successfully sued. Studies have shown that the increase in medmal insurance is not related to the presence or lack of medmal caps. Furthermore, the vast majority of cases are settled and never see a jury. Caps are a red herring.
Gambling is way more widespread than NV and NJ these days. You've got casinos in NY, CT, MS, MO, and slot parlors in several other states (DE, SC?, likely coming to PA.. I'm sure there are some I missed).
The Welfare clause was written to give people the chance for equal opportunity by preventing governments from harming their ability to provide for themselves.
Oddly enough, the Founders disagreewith you, and the Supreme Court agreed re: General Welfare. I have no idea where you got your bizzare interpretation of the welfare clause, but please don't just point me to mises.org or lewrockwell.com for your justification.
Gore ran AWAY from Clinton and many people, including me, think this was a mistake. It's very, very imporant to note that while the House of Representatives was impeaching Clinton for that 'damning' perjury, Clinton's approval rating reached record levels.
Gore also ran away from Clinton by picking Lieberman, a 'morals' Democrat. This turned off many people who subsequently sat out or voted for Nader.
Of all the things to blame for Gore's loss, Clinton cannot be one of them, imo.
Who mods up these ridiculous analogies? Does this make any fucking sense? Analogies are supposed to make things clearer by comparing them to a scenario the audience is familiar with. Is anyone here familiar with a neighbor with a crackhead son and an engine killswitch? Anyone?
The last time the unemployment methodology (as measured by the Current Population Survey) was significantly changed was 1994. The survey was instituted in 1940. The 1994 redesign only tweaked some definitions of unemployed vs. out-of-workforce.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is made up mainly of career statisticians and economists. While the Administrator is appointed by the President, the Bureau is rigidly non-partisan and its methodologies are public and open to criticism and change.
This was reported as a footnote in a speech Leader Pelosi gave to the Communication Workers of America. Although it's well known that I generally defend the Democrats, in this case Pelosi was just pandering, imo. The CWA is the union that would install any 'nationwide universal broadband'. Universal BB access was not the focus of the speech and the little mention of it was blown out of proportion by Drudge, as usual. The submitter misread the article, as Pelosi was listing the goals of the Democrats after the 2006 election, not the goals for the current Congress.
Also, there is no "Democrat Party". My membership card says "Democratic National Committee".
Critical error. The Heritage Foundation and the Census report that those 'facts' are based on equates a mortgage with ownership. This is simply not true.
Yeah when I saw this on MSNBC the other day, I also called bullshit. Not only the opening, automatic feeding/scanner.. but the computer was able to OCR a taped up document? Doubtful.

Can anyone tell me what is insightful about this?

GP was one extreme (email is sooo easy and free!), but you're just the other extreme (email is hard work!).
Fact is, thousands of large organizations have managed to provide their staff with email. The FBI hasn't. I think 'WTF?' is an appropriate response.

Stern didn't quit. He got a boatload of cash for going to satellite. He won, all while portraying himself as the victim.
And this relates to my post how? You're good at changing the subject when you're wrong.

They're both publicly traded companies on the London market.. somehow I doubt they're fully outside the reach of British law.
Neteller and Firepay are British, so it's not like they're in a haven.

It is taxed -- as income, just like all other gambling winnings.
Of course, the casinos themselves are not taxed.

But you must remember that passing a bill in one House does not make it law.
Odd, you must have watched a different Schoolhouse Rock than the current President.

Medmal caps have been shown to be ineffective. Please come up with another non-solution to the healthcare problem to use as your red herring. Thanks!

I don't blame Nader for Gore's loss. I blame Nader voters who fell for his rhetoric.
You do realize your post agrees with mine?
If you would expect a lot of errors or "bad" data, how was this company able to issue a credit card without human interaction?
Interesting. The reason why concrete is poured in slabs is to allow for expansion. How does the KSC runway cope with this issue?
