We cross-checked the Open Secrets list of the top 100 individuals donating to outside spending groups in the current election against the Forbes list of the world’s billionaires and found that, as of June 19, there were 22 individuals on the Open Secrets list who were billionaires. Of those 22 billionaires, 13 -- or more than half -- gave predominantly to liberal groups or groups affiliated with the Democratic Party. The other nine gave predominantly to conservative groups. (A list of billionaires and how much they donated can be found here.)
...
The top donor from either party so far this cycle is pro-Democratic -- California billionaire Tom Steyer, who has given more than $11 million and has pledged to spend at last $50 million.
Sen. Proxmire would not be considered as having been in the political right in the country of which he was a senator, which is the country about which we were discussing.
As a side note, the common refrain that 'the U.S. left is "right-wing" compared to the "rest of the world"' conveniently ignores the large percentage of Islamically-controlled countries in the world.
... It goes back to the Proxmire Golden Fleece Awards where a Senator from Wisconsin would claim to have identified horrendous wastes of money, while the state that he represented (Wisconsin) raked in billions of dollars in milk and cheese subsidies.
Between that and claims of 'Welfare Queens', the political right has played a distraction game to subvert programs like education while lining their pockets with money...
Just wanted to mention that Sen. Proxmire was a Democrat.
I'm speculating, but looking into it a bit, I see that:
To be hanged, drawn and quartered was from 1351 a statutory penalty in England for men convicted of high treason, although the ritual was first recorded during the reigns of King Henry III (1216–1272) and his successor, Edward I (1272–1307). [source: Wikipedia]
so perhaps "hanged" is an anachronism that never got regularized due to being ensconced in early English law.
"Hung is the past tense and past participle of hang in most of that verb’s senses.... The exception comes where hang means to put to death by hanging. The past tense and past participle of hang in this sense, and only in this sense, is hanged." [emphasis mine]
I wondered about the physical design of the "bulb", but I've been extremely happy with them. I worried that they wouldn't be omidirectional, but they look great to me.
Whatever you do, don't check with a registrar to see if your domain name is available, unless you're prepared to buy it at that moment! I recently had GoDaddy appropriate a good domain name that I was considering. It turns out that this reprehensible practice is quite common.
Bruce needs to try to get on Michael Medved's Radio Talk Show.
Medved is a conservative talk-show host and he has voiced the "if you don't have anything to hide..." opinion on the air. However, he is particularly open to opposing opinions and he is very polite to his guests. He often has authors on his show (particularly if they have viewpoints that differ from his).
This would be good publicity for the book, informative for the listeners, and I'd be surprised if Medved wouldn't welcome Bruce to his show.
Doug, Ian, and Robert are standing next to a cliff. Doug says "let's jump!"
Robert says "No!!" and lists all the bad things that could happen. Doug yells at Robert "You're just a Contrarian! Besides, I got the idea from your Uncle Mitt!" Robert retorts "Sure, but that was just jumping off of a sand pile. Also, I never liked that idea, none of my other relatives liked that idea, and none of my friends liked that idea. And I dislike this idea even more!"
Ian mumbles "I don't know. I want to think about it."
"Too late!" screams Doug, while grabbing Ian and Robert and jumping.
As they lie in a broken heap at the bottom of the cliff, Doug stumbles to his feet, having used Ian and Robert to break his fall, and points at them "Remember, we all wanted to do this!"
Where are all the stories about those "obstructionist Democrats" and "the party of No" that we should be seeing by now, I wonder? I mean, with all of the vetos and "walking out" on foreign dignitaries we should be seeing these headlines regularly, shouldn't we?
ABC News went into full panic mode today and tried to cover for Hillary by finding Republicans that might be guilty of the same thing. They quickly put together a story about a Republican Representative who had a gmail account on his business card
After the story broke, several pundits commented that the media will drop the Hillary story as quickly as possible and start digging into Scott Walker's email usage. Sure enough, the first article has appeared. Walker "blurred the lines" while in county government: http://m.jsonline.com/news/sta....
What does this have to do with Benghazi? If anything there's a major difference in that Clinton actually did something wrong in this one.
Well, we don't actually know that, do we? And that was the whole point of her conducting her job via personal email. She can completely cover her trail on any and all issues. Her staff combed through her email and only released the completely innocuous emails into official channels. She adopted this strategy, undoubtedly, because of her Presidential aspirations.
It really speaks volumes about her character (or lack of it).
Think of a zombie outbreak as a metaphor for the rise of ISIS. Zombies move into a region and "convert" non-zombies. These new zombies then strengthen the horde. The horde becomes surprisingly hard to contain or eliminate.
I very much enjoyed "A New Kind of Science" -- thank you. Despite the criticisms (in some cases fair), it is an astounding achievement. In it, you write that you believe that the methods developed in your book could lead to a fundamental theory of the Universe. Has your opinion on this subject changed and has there been any progress (of which you're aware) along these lines?

It's right there in the article "They can hold from two to ten people, depending on the model ...." The minimum number of inhabitants is two.

Malin Akerman and Michael McKean, plus a Lake Bell bonus!
I've also enjoyed the fake articles, but certainly not the whiny comments.

So was there a filibuster (I honestly don't know)? I don't see a mention of it in the text that you posted.

Mission Accomplished - except for the embarrasing fact the Congress is not subject to FOIA/archive laws.
Whoops!

Exactly! Would moderate you up, if I could.

Men don't get to pick whether women have an abortion the same way women don't pick if a man gets a castration.
Very much the same -- that's why the number of abortions and the number of castrations are virtually equal, every single year!
Well, both this and the submitted article are about WiFi issues (surprisingly) on big-name platforms. Just different platforms.
