That is so cool. How exactly did Trump get the Freedom Act passed in 2015? Please do tell because I would love to hear more about Trump's time travelling skills!
Indians were wiped out over the course of a couple hundred years, not the thousands it took them to colonize the Americas. And then you state they wiped out peoples as they settled (no evidence), and compare this thousands of years of settlement to a couple hundred years?
Native Americans killed each other sometimes so Wounded Knee and the trail of tears are cool with you? What kind of logic is that?
That building is precisely what I like about Europe. The mixing of old traditional stuff with crazy ass modern stuff. Just casually side by side. How boring it would be if every town in Europe strictly stuck to some sort of design guide. I see buildings like this as a sort of shout saying "We're still here!", in a borderline obnoxious, yet still quite cool way.
Wow. That is what is like when you cross paths with someone that is truly unhinged. If I were Jay, I'd be checking to see if there are any bunnies in boiling pots on my stove.
I must be old. I can understand why one would avoid the trash-80 platform, but Dungeons of Daggorath was the first game I played that had a sense of impending doom to it (that heartbeat and those slowly approaching monster sounds!)
And Tunnels of Doom was just way ahead of it's time.
otherwise I might see some posts with wildly hysterical hypotheses of what is for sure gonna happen that have nothing to do with the actual bill in the article.
I couldn't agree more. Pinko lefty peaceniks have always been the strongest advocates of limited human rights and torture.
Bravo good sir for alerting us to the root of all evil!
As I understand it, for most people the enzymatic reaction involving sucrase is trivial and often occurs in the mouth via saliva. To say that glucose-fructose bypasses regulatory mechanisms is a bit of an overstatement. When it comes to these substances making their way to the liver, they are pretty much identical. Yes some people may lack sucrase, but that just means HFCS isn't a problem for them.
What a canard the HFCS scare is. HFCS, at least as used by most soda producers, is between 52% and 56% fructose, not 90% as the lead in to the article suggests. This fact seems to elude people though as they continue to brag about how they only buy products made with cane sugar.
Its pretty clear that the issue is overall sugar consumption, both of HFCS and cane sugar (sucrose). To say "gee, ever since the evil soda producers started using HFCS in the early 80's, obesity has gone up with it" is about as useful as pointing out that "gee, ever since the introduction of the pc, obesity levels have risen drammatically". It comes across to me as scare mongering and reduces the credibility of the study in my eyes.
The issue isn't cane sugar vs. HFCS, the issue is overall soda consumption and more and more sedentary lifestyles.
I believe the nature of the servitude is "at pleasure of the president" as much as you would like to rephrase it as "the will of the president". And I agree with Jon Stewart that it would make for a smashing romance novel title.
As for this being a non-story, let's just summarize a couple things that make it a story.
First, the attorneys that were fired were replaced using a last minute proviso of the renewed Patriot Act that allows them to be appointed without Senate confirmation. That proviso was supposed to be used as a means to ensure that attorneys get appointed in a timely manner in the event of a disaster, but now it conveniently gets used to simply bypass the legislative branch at all times. That is an abuse of the intent of the law and is another reason why nobody should ever trust the Bush administration not to abuse a power that is granted to them.
Second, as I understand it, justice department hirings and firings are ostensibly not to be made on purely political grounds. These firings, it becomes clearer everyday, were purely politically based. Even though the president is given the right to appoint (with Senate confirmation normally) US attorneys, the last thing we want is for the justice department to become witchhunt central for the presiding political party.
Third, when asked to explain the firings, justice department officials lied to the congress about it. You are not entitled to lie to the congress.
This is a much more newsworthy story than Bill Clinton circumlocuting a misfired blowjob ever was.
I don't see anything new in the findings about block text. Tweaking leading, done since Gutenberg, has always been a response to this well known issue. Live ink seems to remove the coherency of the text in my opinion. I'm gonna stick with Johannes.

Does it really have any other purpose? Really?

Hey. If the Chinese people have any backbone they'll stop this from happening. It's not like they'll be gunned down, run over and turned into a flesh pie if they object.

Hope the mayor from Leverett, MA recovers from that 4 bit gif virus that's been going around

Same compound that makes your beer smell like canned peas. Not a good quality.
