Half the states had a large number of slaves who could not vote but counted as 3/5 of a person determining how many electoral votes the state got.
States also didn't trust each other, and it was highly impractical for one state to audit the results in another state. One state could unfairly skew the popular vote if they said that 90% of their votes went for candidate A when a smaller percentage actually did.
These problems are no longer issues.
If the 14th Amendment established natural-born citizen status, then Arnold Schwarzenegger or Bill Richardson would be eligible to become POTUS, as they are naturalized citizens, however we know this is not the case. The 14th Amendment uses the qualification "All persons born or naturalized in the United States". We know that a naturalized citizen cannot become POTUS, so axiomatically the other qualifier cannot be assumed to define a natural-born citizen. This means that just being born in the United States is not enough to qualify you as a natural born citizen.
You are confusing natural-born and naturalized. They are very different.
Naturalization is the acquisition of citizenship or nationality by somebody who was not a citizen or national of that country when he or she was born. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalized_citizen
The problem with that is Bush didn't do it alone. Most Republicans strongly supported Bush and his agenda for most of the last eight years. One exception was John McCain. He was willing to stand up to Bush up until this year (for example: opposing torture, questioning tax cuts for the rich, calling attention to the fact that we were losing the war in Iraq). As a moderate Democrat, I would have voted for that John McCain.
During the primaries McCain took several turns to support Bush. That helped him get the support of the Republican base, but I think it cost him the general election.
McCain failed to communicate how his administration would be different from Bush's, so most people who blame Bush for messing up the country voted against him.
I'm not sure about Florida, but in in my home state (Oregon) that language is is written by the authors of the ballot measure, and isn't subject to revision (unless a court determines that its misleading).
That's not quite true. Cavendish bananas are the Wonder Bread of bananas. Most people who have tried other varieties think they're a bland shadow of what bananas should be.
On the other hand, they're easy to grow and ship in large quantities. They're the only variety that you can harvest, ship half way around the world, and have then all ripen at the same time (right after they get to your local megamart).

Wouldn't that be libel?
By publishing the letter, the newspaper made the false claim that she wanted her opinion printed in the paper.
Like this research was just an excuse to hang out in nightclubs.
I was thinking of something like that, but conical. That way it would deflect the bird, instead taking the full force from the impact.

I'm pretty sure the Klingon language (and forehead bumps) where introduced in the first movie (Star Trek: The Motion Picture).
There was a scene at the beginning where some Klingon ships were run over by V'ger.
if you only want to listen to "A Brief History of Time".
This won't hurt Narrators who do audio books, because the quality of their performance is what most people are paying for.

they're going to take over the world while the lights are off. I don't think it's worth the risk.

U.S. Department of Justice is levying the fines, so the money goes to the US Government. The Government will use the money to help bail out banks.

This is more like 60 second political ads on YouTube (which are free) than 40+ minute long CDs.

I gotta disagree with that. I've worked with several people who were less than competent. Usually their teammates picked up their slack.
If they were pragmatic, they probably wouldn't have bought an iPhone.

Isn't the main reason we're into space to get away from the jocks?
I've seen enough monster movies to know that it's not a good sign when a little kid has to tell the scientists what's going on.
I hate big-pharma as much as the next guy, but so what if she was paid by the pharmacutical companies? How is that relevant to this case?
If she was a scientist it would be reasonable to ask whether her results were tainted by funding, but she's just a blogger.
