Yeah, 54 pages... oh well.

What do you mean by all combined? Don't get me wrong here, I want the US to maintain a strong military, but what we have now is just ridiculous overkill. Says who. Me. No wonder we need to drum up support for wars on a regular basis, I mean how could you not with all that hardware going to waste, n...

I've read up on the charges against Romney regarding Bain Capital. Most if not all of the negatively viewed activities of Bain occurred after Romney's tenure. One of Bain's notable accomplishments under Romney is Staples, the Obama Administration's favorite office supply store. Except that Romney w...

Err, skin job, the whole point is to spend more than your two rivals combined. Duh. Over three times more than both combined? Sure, if the point is inevitable bankruptcy. It's nearly as dumb as ever expanding entitlements. I'm factoring in the ME also. Twice as much as all combined is a bare minimu...

Nuclear wars are cheap. Nation building ala Obama/Bush, that's expensive. The military is a small portion of the budget. The US spends over three times as much on its military as its two largest rivals, China and Russia, combined . Rationalize that all you want, it makes no fiscal sense to continue...

How can a grand jury proceeding be properly characterized as a show trial? Grand juries hand down indictments, not verdicts.

I talk to Joe everyday. Went weak kneed at the end of Bush, but no longer, in the mood for glass. Bolton, Romney appear to be in the mood. Just sayin. Nobody will hit back. Just so that I understand, we are talking about mass murder right? Sounds like Mr. P is being whipped up by talk radio hosts. ...

Food? Possibly. Printing techniques are becoming pretty commonplace in biotech. Just look at Organovo . The NovoGen MMX Bioprinter™ is a novel hardware and software platform at the forefront of bioprinting research and development. The NovoGen MMX™ was developed to meet challenges in biological res...

They had big-ass powerful computers in 1960 too. Well, they were big-ass, and required a ton of power, but powerful by today's standards? Not even close. Your phone has an order of magnitude more computing power. Going too far over the top damages one's credibility. 3D printing is certainly an inte...

May I be perceived as waggish rather than petulant when pointing out that some digressions are more equal than others!

I'm enjoying the wide-ranging discussion.

Artists whose fans are hardest to predict for either Democrat or Republican 1. The Beatles 2. Marilyn Manson 3. The Rolling Stones 4. Johnny Cash 5. Pantera 6. Alice in Chains 7. Paradise Lost 8. Moonspell 9. Fleetwood Mac 10. Tiamat With a few exceptions, I find this list much more interesting.

Didn't you get the memo? Voter fraud does not exist.

I wonder if the shockwave is what put him into the spin.

I caught the last 20 minutes of the ascent, and the dive.. He did get into a spin during the initial part of the jump, which was pretty scary looking. Is it known yet whether he broke the sound barrier?

It's lebensraum.

I like my modern world.

Mainly I'd like the government to leave me alone unless I'm harming someone or stealing stuff. What a radical concept.

If anybody is planning on writing a book about the 2012 election, may I suggest this pic for the cover? http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/terminal05/2012/10/12/22/enhanced-buzz-13613-1350094154-11.jpg This stuff works, I think. Even though such repugnant people make up a tiny and ever shrink...

But I still need to be cured of my affinity for conservative ideas. That's why I am here. If you're anything like Mr. Perfect, then you're not a conservative. Strangely enough, the Democrats and moderate Republicans are conservatives because they want to preserve the current system. The Republican ...

OK, fine, you win. The Republican party is chock full of evil wackos.

Matter of fact, the guilt by association bothered me enough to register as non-affiliated.

But I still need to be cured of my affinity for conservative ideas.

Additionally, the yellow journalists doing the dirt digging and mud slinging are nearly all liberals, so if they find out about one of their own, the news never makes it out. I like how you give yourself permission to be "Fair and Balanced" with a Rush Limbaugh trope. :lol: Is it really? ...
