Just because the parents of a Downs Syndrome child would attack someone who calls their child 'defective' doesn't mean it isn't defective. Downs Syndrome is a genetic error -- also known as a defect.
Exactly so - just like homosexuals are "abnormal." I'm sure no one will take offense at the term.
Quite right. Maybe they're like my parents, who just get network TV on rabbit ears. Once I brought up the subject of satellite TV. My mom said "That'll be the day, when I pay for TV!"
In a way, I admire that. In another way, I like watching "Mythbusters."
You're forgetting about the cost in time. If you're making minimum wage, you're most likely working at an hourly rate. A trip to taco bell takes 10 minutes. Compare that to shopping, preparation, and clean up time.
But you can really only count that if your meal prep time cuts into your earning time. Most people don't have to take time off to prepare their meals.
I just don't see how the fast food places can charge so little...
For example, you can get 10 tacos at Taco Bell for like $9.00
Three words: volume, volume, volume! Also, the beef in question may have fillers (like soy-based stuff, ironically enough) unless they really come out and say 100% beef.
I try to eat healthy, but I confess that I am hooked on Wendy's 99 cent cheeseburgers, and have often wondered how they meet that price point. I don't want to think about it!
As President, he would be faced with a bill that has ALREADY passed, and....what? He can't retroactively veto it. He can demand Congress change the bill, but Presidential demands are variable in power...

He swore "to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States", and he's been pissing all over that document for the past seven years.
I respectfully disagree.
He's come out and unashamedly said, "I know Congress passed this law with this language, but I'm not going to interpret it in accordance with the wishes of Congress. Rather, I'm going to do whatever the hell I feel like."
By then either McCain or Obama will be President. The Senate doesn't actually have authority to do anything to Bush once he's out of Office, so the whole thing'll be moot.
Don't worry, His Holiness has indicated he would be glad to investigate Bush, et al after his anointing - I mean inauguration.
All they had to do was say "no more money" and cut his appropriations to the bare minimum needed to provide the necessary services and no more. All of Bush's blustery posturing and wild legal theories don't change the fact that Congress could have shut him down in a heartbeat
And what does that tell us? It tells us that, for all the Democrats' irresponsible political furor, they realize that George Bush was exercising his legitimate executive power, however they may despise it. Kucinich is just trying to compensate for some short-coming of his.
Here's the thing: if you can't do things sustainably, then you really don't deserve to be living anyway. You don't have some God-given right to live...
Every election cycle, you can find stories like this about the Weekly Reader poll:
Pundits come and pundits go, but one group has quietly predicted the winner of the presidential election every four years since the Eisenhower administration: kids.
Most political junkies won't give it the time of day, but the Weekly Reader presidential poll of schoolchildren has pegged every winner since 1956.
As far as informal polls go, this one is supposed to be one of the most accurate.
Looking at some of the replies, I guess some people just like typing on those flat, no-travel keys. Myself, I love the "ka-chunk" that the M-100 provides. It's also superior to many "regular" keyboards you can buy today.
I suspect that modern laptops keep their keyboards slim so as to keep the units slim as a whole. But I would gladly sacrifice a the slim profile for a "real" keyboard.

Agreed. When they're out to get you, they'll get you somehow.
A similar thing happened to Gerald Ford, a very athletic man who was portrayed as a klutz after on e (literal) "false step."
Kinda like the Democrats?
1.1 petabytes? 1.1 petabytes? Great Scott!
The fact that this has not been modded "Funny" makes me very, very sad...
This is possibly the kindest assessment of conservatism I've ever seen posted on Slashdot.

That may be true for ordinary mortal Presidents. But His Holiness has already promised his tenure will see "the rise of the oceans [begin] to slow and our planet [begin] to heal..." So a trifling thing like rolling over the will of the American people should be a snap.
You are assuming that 1) there will be any dirty articles about Obama, and 2) McCain has supporters.
Translation:
But then I'd never get to vote!
I respectfully disagree.
Cite? Or are you paraphrasing?

I may be insane or wrong, but I seem to recall a President Bill Clinton, who actually was impeached.
Of course, you could mean "it happened" when you say "historic," but I think that kind of takes away from the point.

Yes! Almost, life unworthy of life, if you will.
Perhaps you are using it to placate your Muslim immigrants?
I know this is a little OT, but it turns out that Murdoch is practically endorsing Obama.

(Um, we are still doing Soviet Russia jokes, right?)
I've been in parking lots, letting all the air out of the tires on cars sporting "Obama" stickers. It's not much, but I do what I can.
As a white guy, I just want to vote for somebody who looks like me. Is that so hard to understand?
