Pfffft! Just gotta new smartPhone app. All it takes is a swipe of yer finger on the little glass screen, over an icon named "SAR Now!" Use it, and minutes later you get to that Leavenworth crag a helicopter delivery of PBR right into yer hot sweaty hand. Now that's impressive! (This promo has been brought to you by Technology to the Rescue, intellectual property of Microsoftie and the Alpine Bellywash Corporation--for the hardman who wants to be careful.)

There's no reason to be embarrassed about sucking your mama's tit and then posting an account of the whole perverted wussy event on the Internet. Provided you did it because you SAW her when you were hungry during excellent weather. WTF. And then there's the type of character who'd rather steal your lunch money. You know, the type you'd prefer as partner.

Come on Prole. If you made $14m a year sucking corporate dick for laughs on cable and felt that a spill of your Starbucks justifies militarized intervention by riot squads, then maybe you'd condescend to become a smarmy lapdog of a comic on television too.

No reason to be blaming the government or Grover Norquist here. If people in Colorado had been sensible, they'd have simply drowned the fires in a bathtub, during the first couple days. If they'd done that, then maybe that black guy would have never had the fukin' nerve, you know, to show up and suggest people might put together more effective plans.

So the lesson is--- include a chisel on your rack?

I'm wondering where in the system the damage usually occurs. Guessing it occurs locally, rather then over the long distance [very] high voltage power transmission lines that don't do so well underground, from a costs-benefits perspective. In that case, the case that damage typically occurs to the lines right outside your window, or where trees fall, in the lower voltage places like that, it might actually be more practical to go underground?
-
Apparently, with underground power transmission, capacitance is a problem, rather than inductance. (Go figure--RootMeanSqaure, all that.) Fwiw, you can read about it here, in this technical presentation, How many Poles does it take to screw in a light bulb? And for sprayers disinclined to peruse such engineering (and polar geometry) aspects to electrical power, recommended is an article that provides a more direct, current response to the OP's question, answering, It takes four times as many with underground electricity.

PROPERTY RIGHTS NOT PROPERTY TAXES!

So which one are you talking about having a *drink* with, the transvestite, or his girlfriend there in the cape?

Leave it to spray to make clear whose children are the lessers.

The decision came down like a nightmare of spaghetti code, inelegant, and indecipherable from many angles. However, I think Roberts was clear in the opinion: To say the law is covered by the commerce clause is to overreach; imo that's because the court, this time, applied a narrow interpretation of the commerce clause -- but it's the reach of the commerce clause that is delimited here in the decision, not the constitutionality of the law. That notwithstanding, the power to tax does enumerate to the federal government, by way of Congress, to enact -- a tax. Roberts said that payment for insurance can be considered a tax, and in this case is to be considered a tax. And so it is. A tax.

Wow, I called the strategy for the decision over two years ago: Health Care A million monkees are not always wrong. It's constituional.
-
Per majority opinion, the commerce clause does not empower Congress to make such a law, but the taxation clause does. Therefore, the Constitution provides for such a law by way of the sweeping power of Congress to levy taxes. Be cautioned: Lord Vader is... outraged. [video:youtube]

VADER PAYS NO TAXES! (His mom does all the taxes.)

Yet more to the point, there's no mention about the comparative pay for a productive picker in Mexico versus Yakima. (!)

Never mind the introspection. Can you explain how a man of Burchey's intelligence was able to find his ass with both hands, you know, after just one lesson from a one-eyed doctor in Mexico? It doesn't make sense. And Kevbone -- still remembering to breathe, despite his obvious deficit of gray matter. Amazing. Inquiring wants to know

When climbing, avoid climbers; they're douche bags!

"Much ink has been spilt and punditry hot air vented in explaining the failure to recall Scott Walker in this week’s election. Yet nearly all of it fails to address the appeal of Scott Walker and his policies for much of Wisconsin’s working and middle class." Jeffrey Sommers: How Walker Really Won Wisconsin "In short, Walker has given voice to the working and middle classes so much hurt by the Reagan Revolution. The people have found their voice in Walker who skillfully and honestly, to his mind, articulates a narrative that resonates with Midwestern sensibilities of hard work and fairness. These concepts may have been distorted beyond all recognition to many observers, but to Wisconsin’s suburban and rural working class they have found their voice in Scott Walker. A ride through their neighborhoods reveals a veritable sea of blue yard signs declaring “I Stand With Walker!” Walker is a formidable candidate and better communicator than Reagan ever was. Analysts and pundits that dismiss his victory as one of simply money over the people do so at their and our peril." Jeffrey Sommers lives in Wisconsin.

I've got it on good authority that you don't need to be from Harvard or Yale before you can use missiles to kill guys. My local Seattle community college offers a certificate in drone attack technology. I'm just hoping the presently abundant career opportunities are not lost by a shut down of the federal missile assassin program right when I graduate. I wasn't so lucky after the school awarded me its official space shuttle pilot certification, so I know first hand what such disappointment is like.

Wait, here's a look at the bright side: "A government that can murder its own citizens or throw them into dungeons without due process can abolish all the contracts it wants in the name of national security. And most certainly, unlike the war on terror, purging the financial system of the gambling derivatives would vastly improve national security." --source
