After eight years of suffering under Bush, we finally have a new President - Barack Hussein Obama. America as we know it has changed forever. Now that the arduous campaign has ended, President-elect Obama can begin preparing for governance. After working with the Bush administration to ensure a smooth transition of power, the Obama administration will need to begin the process of healing a sorely divided country.
To this end, the most important priority for an incoming Obama administration needs to be education. Children need to learn from an early age about his glorious struggle for the presidency, with fantastical accounts of how the courageous Obama defeated first the mighty Hillary machine, then a time-tested McCain with only the power of Hope, bringing an end to racism once and for all. Most importantly, we need to impress on them the urgency of supporting our leader in this important period of change and opportunity, and during his subsequent administrations.
However, children are not the only ones in need of more education. Many adults, bitterly clinging to their guns and bibles, are expecting the worst from an Obama presidency. Rather than confirm their worst fears, we should take steps to educate these confused, bigoted and ignorant people.
The most difficult aspect of this will be convincing these counter-Obama Americans to attend the educational seminars. The practical solution is to keep a central list of registered Republicans, being sure to take note of vocal conservatives both in print and on the web. Camps will then be constructed outside of the educational facilities, with separate areas constructed for med, women and children so as to maximize efficiency without the distraction of family. While many may protest at first, after being exposed to the educational program, they will soon come to realize that Obama only has their best interest at heart.
Of coarse, the first concern most conservatives will have about this plan will be, "how are we going to pay for it?", and rightly so. With our economy near ruin and our budget out of control, the next President will have to take fiscal responsibility seriously. Thankfully, this will not be an unfunded mandate; money will come from two sources.
First, taxes will be raised on certain businesses, primarily on tradesmen such as carpenters and plumbers. In the new Obama economy, these trades will take a back seat to the sate-run endeavors that will bring about 0% unemployment. Secondly, subjects in the camps will work approximately 80 hours a week on public works projects in addition to their rigorous educational schedule. This will not only eliminate the need for external funding, but will provide labor and funding for other Obama programs.
Two days after the election of the first black President, I only hope that all Americans, regardless of their current political orientation, can put the hate behind us and get behind our new leader. Thank you and god bless.
So McCain keels over, Malibu Stacey becomes President, and we all forget our troubles with a big bowl of strawberry ice cream.
If she inherits the top slot, she will be a lame duck from day one. I'm more concerned about what McCain himself would do as President, he has a lot of clout with Congress.
Something tells me that Palin is not going to try and fill Cheney's role. Her views will most likely be of little consequence unless the old man croaks or we have a tie in the Senate.
When the battery in your iBrator dies, you need someone with that special touch to replace it. Users can't be trusted to replace parts, that would be chaos.
this kind of mentality puzzles me. There are a lot of apple users out there, who, like you, acknowldge that they're being dicked around....You care about them, they beat you up, and you keep coming back. Why?
10% is the glass ceiling for Apple marketshare. It is estimated that roughly 10% of the population is gay; beyond that, Apple is going to face an uphill battle.
If that's your concern, go with one of the FSF-approved distros.
The way the article is phrased, it's all or nothing. "The Linux Desktop" is not a single entity, why should the separate distros all conform to a single ideal?
Public school teachers have no right to teach "alternate views" based on mythology and superstition. If a chemistry teacher starts teaching alchemy, they should be fired for incompetence. Same goes for a science teacher trying to teach Intelligent Design.
That won't work if there's no door to open. All this security theater could be avoided if we would just seal off the cockpit from the cabin, and have the pilots use a separate entrance.
No more hijackings, and I can bring a reasonable size bottle of liquor in my carry on again.

When you vote with your dollars, whoever has the most money gets the most votes.
Basically, you're telling the poor to get fucked.

Her job will be to sit there and look pretty.
it was supposed to be a small piece of land where they could feel safe
If that was the goal, it's a failure. It hasn't made them safer, it's made them less safe.
What problem was solved by the establishment of Israel? I don't see anything being solved, just more problems.
Not only that, but it's just the frontend that has a Windows port. Support for the broadcast flag would need to be implemented on the backend.
The Libertarians care about you
No, they really don't.
You know what's more unattractive than poor grammar? A grammar Nazi.

With the amount they already waste on stupid and misleading ads, I'm really not worried about them spending a few minutes with Google to read blogs.
my Ubuntu box automatically alerts me to any updates available, whether I last ran apt-get update a month ago or two minutes ago.
That's because apt is updating silently in the backround every 24 hours. It's not related to the issue at hand.
And honestly, I don't see a problem with the Fedora way, it only takes a minute. You should run apt-get update before you run apt-get install anyways.
Fscking creeps.
Yeah, those filesystem-checking weirdos creep me out too. I mean, look at Reiser, we should have seen it coming.
this kind of mentality puzzles me. There are a lot of apple users out there, who, like you, acknowldge that they're being dicked around ....You care about them, they beat you up, and you keep coming back. Why?
Makes sense to me. They like dick.
Mac users know all about gag orders.

there are still social services available in a libertarian society. They're just provided by charity rather than government.
Yes, it makes perfect sense for the destitute to rely on the whims of the rich to eat that day. I can't see how that could possibly go wrong.
"Please sir, can I have some more?"
Eh, I'm an insomniac, so I'm up either way. Women like to talk, and if they have something intelligent to say, I'm all for it.
All kidding aside, women scientists are hot.
I don't know if it's because most of them were quiet overachievers growing up or what, but they are a lot of fun in bed.
As a plus, they tend to make for good conversation after. It's win-win.
All it takes is one person to slip in a modified binary or batch of code.
Or one person to do something stupid.
If that's your concern, go with one of the FSF-approved distros.

When Ron Paul was in the race all you yuppies liked to say "he's good but has no chance".
As opposed to those of us who didn't support Ron Paul because his concept of the role of government is irresponsible and impractical.

Spin in however you like, no matter how you look at this, the Democrats caved. Pathetic.
