Considering that the last Olympics; the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, has bedeviled by its own lack of preparations, I'd say the IOC doesn't really care. All that counts is that the IOC gets the money, hookers and blow that they have come to expect, all that counts is how much of these three things can be made available by the contesting cities.
Even the moderately successful Vancouver winter Olympics had the various snow events over an hour a way from any of the other venues, after driving down one of the most dangerous stretches of highway in Western North America.
Yeah, I'm sure multimillionaires that make big donations to leading politicians are going to be totally prosecuted.
We all know what will happen. Some pathetic middle manager will be set up as the bad guy, while the board and senior executives get off, likely without a warning, and after executives have been rewarded vast bonuses because, you know, no matter how incompetent or evil an MBA is, they attract money like a black hole attracts matter.
In general political terms, "centrist" means "compromiser". Now, too hard partisans on either side a "centrist" appears to be a traitor, but that's mainly because hard partisans are either morons or very evil people.
The Framers' intentions are important, but should not override every consideration. They were not gods, and a constitution that rigidly locks itself tight is doomed.
Because if I listen to the likes of Rush Limbaugh, I'm just getting soooo much love.
The worst part about partisanship is how a partisan will inevitably accuse a partisan of opposing allegiance of the very character defects the partisan himself possesses... often in the same sentence.
All partisans are fundamentally irrational ethically challenged goons. Full stop.
He's just another net kook, or more likely some crank follower of some previous net kook from the grand old days of Usenet. There was this small cabal of anti-Einstein nutters who used to crank out pseudo-scientific babble, including math salads, to proclaim Einstein was totally wrong. I imagine there are still a few around, though the most famous ones like Archimedes Plutonium are dead now.
I first got on Usenet in the last days of that ancient epoch, when Plutonium was popping up and making his grand declarations, and Ed Conrad was declaring he'd dug up a fossilized human penis in his backyard that disproved the geological column. Ah, sometimes I miss those heady days!
I don't get why Einstein gets some people upset. Was it because he was Jewish? Because he didn't declare God Is Real? Did he run over their grandfather's dog?
Einstein built on other peoples work, just as all scientists do, but the idea that Galileo had the vaguest idea, for instance, what an intertial frame of reference was is ludicrous.
What's it like being a simpering retard and yet somehow still able to string sentences together. If you're an idiot savant, perhaps you would more profitably spend your time memorizing phone books or smashing your head against a wall as you calculate primes to the trillionth digit.
Finding them means we can start developing better instruments. Primordial gravity waves are our best shot at understanding the inflationary epoch and understanding the Big Bang itself. This is one of physic's greatest triumphs.
And, of course, it confirms once again that Einstein remains one of the titans of human thought.
I'm curious as to how someone becomes the head of a spy agency while being so fundamentally ignorant of one of the most fundamental aspects of espionage. It's like hiring a mechanic who doesn't know what a distributor is.
Free market people believe in the Invisible Hand, and the Invisible Hand is just another god, and that god also loves oil and hates, indeed wants to kill anyone who dares question making profits off of glorious, clean fossil fuels. The Invisible Hand also demands climatologists be expunged and destroyed as the evil monsters they are, and wants to blot the sun, that evil thing, with clouds of healthy wonderful smog. God bless the Invisible Hand, and let us join together to take every climatologist and throw them off a cliff for their evil of questioning the righteous use of beautiful clean fossil fuels.
Well then, that's the problem. God only wants us to produce energy via fossil fuels. The use of non-CO2 emitting fuels is evil Communist plotting. WE should immediately execute anyone who wants to use any source of energy other than oil, they are subhuman fiends. We should pass a law allowing the good citizens of this God-fearing country to anally rape anyone who dares even think about solar panels. Solar panels are Satan's work, and only the righteous use of oil and coal forever can keep the forces of wickedness at bay.
Oh, and we need to kill every single Climatologist, except Roy Spencer, who should be given a quadrillion dollars and fifty hookers ever day. He is practically Jesus Christ.

Even better. Both Han and Greedo put aside their differences, shoot Jar Jar on the count of three, then buy a round for the bar.
I'd give real money for someone to recut that part of the cantina scene with Jar Jar instead of Greedo.
His word order you do not like. Know you not that no difference it makes!
Even Star Wars has its Richard Stallmans.
Next you'll be telling me Pink Floyd ceased to exist the moment Syd left.

I'm a pitch fork manufacturer in a a black and white world, you insensitive clod!
You're still asserting that the constitution is a document with precisely one interpretation.

Yeah, there need to be more justices that hate women, blacks, the poor, Latinos and homosexuals, 'cause that's the way Jesus would want it!

Oh for fuck's sakes. The "ether" pseudo-scientists are as bad as the electric universe types.
That doesn't even make sense.

Don't you have an election to win, Donald?
Much like Italy covered up all those naughty Renaissance and classical nudes for the Iranian delegation, because, you know, genitals are EVIL!!!!!!!!!
Surfing for you must be akin to driving across a dried up lame bed.

I cut my Unix teeth on Xenix, so System V would be pretty cool.
