I'd be surprised if it *ever* gets done. Somewhere between 2015-2020, the boomers are going to going to be demanding their Social Security checks in record numbers. And, when those selfish bastards are asked to choose between themselves and government programs like NASA, guess who's going to lose out?
My 93-year-old grandfather died last year, after waiting over 80 years for "skiddoo" to be added (to no avail). And you have the nerve to bitch about having to wait a few years?!?!
A terrorist today would never get a chance to negotiate with the pilot or anyone else. He would be rushed as soon as he jumped up with the gun. He would probably get off enough shots to kill one or two people before he was overwhelmed and beaten to death (if not literally ripped to pieces).
I've been modded troll 3 times now for pointing out that Obama is just another hyper-ambitious politician, not the fucking messiah. The tide seems to be turning since this telecom amnesty fiasco though. A lot of people here are finally seeing him for what he really is.
Actually (sadly) he's also quietly backing away on the war issue too. In practice I think that either candidate will be MUCH more competent than the Bush administration (of course, the same could be said of half the monkeys at the Bronx Zoo).
And I doubt that there will be any real difference in the Iraq withdrawal in either case. Obama says he wants out immediately, but secretly doesn't want to get saddled with a quick withdrawal. McCain says he will fight to the bitter end, but secretly doesn't want to get saddled with Bush's unpopular war for any length of time.
The only real advantage to supporting Obama over McCain is Supreme Court appointments. Right now, the Supreme Court is just teetering on the verge of becoming a true hardcore right-wing institution which will last a VERY long time. One more young radical conservative and you can say goodbye to legal abortions, any semblance of constitutional rights, etc.
Everyone already knows McCain is just a Bush clone, so there's no need to ask *him*. Obama is trying to portray himself as something different--all while quietly voting the exact same way McCain is.
There isn't a hair's difference between them in the end, for all their talk (from both camps) about how different they are.

I hear it's also fun to stay at the YMCA or go in the Navy
Billions of dollars in capital and they give us a retread of AlphaWorld from 1996? What's next, GoogleMUD?
'nuff said.
Apple has a pretty strong cadre of smug, die-hard, wild-eyed supporters ready to drink poisoned Kool-aide at Father Steve's request. Does that count?
We revoked your license last year when you openly admitted that you didn't like Star Trek.
What's not to like about Linux? How about the fact that your medical management app, like most software, is only available for Windows?
Can anyone explain what these games even ARE? Am I the only one who has never even heard of them?
I guess she figures that she can do it too.
If Google launches an MMO, I am *so* out of here.
At least oil is still a high priority. Thank God for that much.

What was supposed to be a spaceship turned out to be a big splashdown pod with wheels that needed to be rebuilt after each launch. Epic fail.
Housewives with Linux??!?! Geeks with Windows?!?! Dogs and cats living together?!?!? MASS HYSTERIA!!
...all part of the devious plan of the red menace from the get-go. That's what we get for dropping our guard against C O M M U N I S M !!!!!
If you can find it.

Mondegreen: Named after Lord Alfred Fredrick Mondegreen of Cornwall, who legend has it was was a total poseur douche when it came to music.
I would beg to differ.
WALL-E thought it was valuable.
Your apologies reek of desperation. He's just another politician. Deal with it
Ha, so much for meta-moderation! Obviously the Obamamaniacs would like us to just keep quiet about his embarrassing vote on this important issue.
