Are you kidding? Get a fucking clue. It's not an issue I've focused on, so I can safely plead ignorance until I do. There has been one discussion on it at CHAOS headquarters, and that was enough to impart the complexity and far reaching consequences of denying contributions protected political speech status. As a 100% donor funded organization chartered with protecting privacy rights, groups like ours are naturally concerned. Remember, everything really is connected to everything else in this universe, so it's good to be careful what you wish for.

And guess which justices came down where. Big Fucking Surprise. And as for the media including labor unions as part of this dialogue as if they mattered, purely a sop to "the altar of the appearance of fair and balanced". This political system is a joke. Next teabagger I see dressed up like James Madison or Alexander Hamilton, imma run his ass over. It's not a teabagger issue. The ACLU, for example, has long held the policy that campaign finance constitutes free speech (much to the ire of a good portion of its membership). How do I feel about it? Haven't figured that one out yet.

I think KKK had it right (as do most of the other civilized nations) when he posted a recommendation for ending for profit health care. The two are mutually exclusive: basic conflict of interest.

Hey FFWP, how about a side of Iraq, gay marriage and health care? LOL!

PP bags another troll, but Psycho doesn't quite land a sig with the FFWP concatenation, although imagining the neural fibrillation that produced it filling that tiny rodent brain brings a smile.

Not one of you anal retentives caught my retro triple biner biner action cuz I forgot my rappel device.

Most climbers don't venture south of the Mason Dixon line here. It's true, I don't suffer idiocy with much consideration. PP's posts, for example, provide a target rich environment, but I only respond to a fraction of them, really.

You never answered my conjecture that we actually believe in roughly the same things, there, KKK. Shall I repost?

Harmony through balance.

Interesting, Jon, that your comment went one direction but not the other. Not at all effective, but interesting.

I suk. Carry on.

The 'we're not Right enough' is just another BS campaign from the RNC. Anybody who has worked a campaign on either side knows that Dems outnumber Rfucks and have for a long, long time...the game is getting enough of your side off their asses to vote. In actuality, the Right is becoming more left...and rapidly so. Much of the Rfuck electorate has abandoned its belief in the Lets Roll, Gays back to Africa, Corporate Cock Sucking, Environment Ass Fucking, Waterboard-em; an agenda of excess that could only survive within the exuberant atmosphere of an inflating economic bubble. The Palin Phenomenon represents the charred remains of that movement, not its political future. Obama's rapid fall from grace was completely predictable given voters unrealistic but unshakable expectation that the president can pull a lever and fix the economy. Americans rightfully and more realistically expected a solution to our number one problem: health care, and got basically nothing. Americans are and should be concerned about a bailout that handed out national wealth to the very culprits who caused the mess in the first place. And finally, Obama has been less than timid on fixing our officially sanctioned policy of human rights and civil liberties abuse. Most Americans are nervous about either losing their job or not getting one. Neither these very real concerns nor the dissatisfaction they generate point to a populace aching to go back to the type of idiotic leadership that caused so much of this fuck up in the first place. But the worry and concerns are there, they're real, and they can make voters do some very squirrelly things come election time.

Nice route. Those ice bulges on limestone can be pretty bombproof at the right temps.

Wah!

How's your exploded face photo collection, psycho?

If you were any fucking dumber, Peter, you'd have to choose between breathing and digestion.

The card has only 22kb of storage available - well 32kb but 22kb all that is used now. (Give me a guess how much memory a mri requires) Check out these links: link1 link 2 see page 2 You are clearly suggesting that the Taiwan system is more advanced that it is. The cards have limited info and there are still significant barriers to information holders sharing data seamlessly. You also ignore the cost containment issues. Um...you don't need to store one's medical history on the card itself to have cardkey access to it. We realize that such technological wonders may continue to baffle you, however. Another revelation: that little man on TV? He's not actually IN THE BOX. Now back to our regularly scheduled 25 person medical billing department... Reading comprehension is still a challenge for you Tvash....hopefully the emphasis above will help.........the claim was that the card "stored" the medical info clearly false....I addressed your point (card key access) as well..... ...and then there are people who put their full faith in the expertise of journalists...LULZ!

A hefty 3$/gallon discount at the pump yields a savings of about 100 billion per year the American consumer when one considers only oil imported from the Middle East (about 20% of our national consumption). Of course, we're spending 500 billion during the same period on our military, with a significant % of that in the Middle East and central Asia, so we're actually paying a hefty premium over, say, the Euros.

To be fair, we all benefit from gunpoint-discounted gas at the pump.

Good article in the latest New Yorker about this challenge to Cali's Prop 8 that will likely go to the supreme court. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perry_v._Schwarzenegger THey heavy hitter on the legal team; a former Bush man, has won 44 out of 56 supreme court cases...and he's shooting for full marriage rights, including OMFG THE WORD MARRIAGE.

LULZ!

I think all the fucking FaceBook clubs are actually in FuckBook.

If you're crazy about stainless, you really need to check out the surgical table I just bought at UW surplus.
