Real Clear Markets : Indeed, one doesn't have to be a small-government libertarian to understand that our federal minders don't possess the competence to deal with oil spills anymore than they have the foresight to rein in faulty banking practices. The founders didn't so much despise government as they were properly skeptical about a centr
[quote]But here a question for you, since many of the comments aren't dealing with the topic anyway, when you use the restroom, do you use the ladies room? How about the gym? Do you use the women's locker room? I mean it's no big deal, your just getting the job done, right? And why should the women there be upset, what you do in your bedroom is no concern of theirs right? Just tell them it's all business, nothing to do with sex. Let me know how tolerantly you are treated.[/quote]  
[quote]You seem focused on the end results not the impact or management.[/quote] Well frankly yes. 1. there's no discernible impact on management or otherwise that ever other group of professionals in the free world hasn't dealt with already. 2. Bad news: the military works for the United States. Not the other way around. They can have all of the opinions they want, but when the directive comes down, the
[quote]Glad you want studies and opinions, but it seems you really don't care want the service members want. [/quote] Oh man, there's just so much comedic potential on this whole idea. -------- 5 Star General (to subordinates): Men, it's come to my attention that our guys aren't in as good of shape as we need them to be. I'd like to increase some of the physical requirements at bootcamp. Colonel: Sir, we can't just do that. W
[quote]Believe me I fully understand the need of discipline in the military. However, since this involves intimate privacy issues, I feel the opinion of those serving is sole opinion of importance.[/quote] Oh that's just fantastic. So, since it involves 'intimate privacy issues' it should be subject to public opinion?
Your not too bright in debating are you? Well. I am bright enough to know the difference between 'your' and 'you're'.Really, personal rimshots are uncalled for. Since you speak with authority on exactly what constitutes administrative burdens in todays military, why don't you explain how this will have a negligible impact on that burden? I don't need to. This bur
[quote]ut new problems will arise never the less, that is undeniable. Anything that takes more resources in supervisors time away from the mission is not, IMO, a good thing. If you understood the amount of whatever you want to call it, nurturing, coddling, or baby sitting, is provided in the military you would see my point. Too many people, regardless of sexual preference, have a hard time believing they are their to perform a job. [/quote] So, gays shouldn't be in the
See here for how to: I forget exactly what the requirement was, but this came up on a forum. That's what I cooked using the in cell bar charts. It's certainly not good...but most definitely not bad.
Thanks. It's a smug lack of respect for political hysteria of all flavors. Rahm Emanuel is to the right what Karl Rove is to the left. A mysterious boogey man of political intrigue. In the Bush era, the dems were getting they're asses kicked. I mean, it was brutal. I think there was a good 2 or 3 year stretch in there where just every week the dems were looking like total dopes in the face of the supposedly stupid GWB. They couldn't figu
[quote]By Clinton, I meant Bill...as it was Bill who allegedly made the offer to Sestak.[/quote] I think that's actually the most interesting thing about this. Billy has been 'quiet' for being married to a cabinet member. It appears he's been keeping busy though.
[quote]Homophobia huh? Sorry that's the message you got from my article. Even if that were true, it is something I wouldn't have to personally deal with now or in the future. [/quote] Then what exactly are you describing? Having to live in close quarters with somebody who's gay seems to be at the nut of your argument---you analogize it twice. Then the old "well, then if some dude gives them low marks on a review and they claim it's because they're gay". Isn't that something
I think everything you've said amounts to "but there might be some homophobia in the military and this could disrupt their operations". If that's your take, that's fine. There really aren't many good arguments against gay folks in the military. It just doesn't seem to fall in line with my perception of the military. Maybe I'm just one of those fun Americans who believes that the military is largely made up of competent, trained, 2 war-f

http://mediamatters.org/blog/201005250001 See? Look. Rove is still doing shit TODAY. Do you see how evil this guy is? Rove was violating that law YEARS ago. He's so evil. Now, excuse me, I have to go do the Karl Rove dance with my blackberry.
[quote]Second, LGF is not a conservative outfit. But it is a good place to find out things the MSM will not talk about, So their opinion is about as valid as Matthews. Take it with a grain of salt.[/quote] So what if they're not a conservative outfit? They're still nuts on with this one. If Hot Air said it, it'd still be true. [quote]criminal is better than stupid.

[quote]NO, because he learned his politics in Chicago (as did Hillary).[/quote] What are you talking about? Are you really trying to connect Hillary Clinton to the Chicago Machine? Really? Like, because she spent ages 1-17 in a far flung suburb of Chicago she's down with the machine? [quote]No, but I think you confuse impeachment with conviction. There is a good chance he will be impeached, but not convicted. Impeachment is just the certifying o
Linky : But in this dysfunctional right wing political climate, there are never any consequences for lying or promoting false outrages. They simply ignore the inevitable debunking, then move right on to the next phony story, as if they were never caught hyperventilating over nothing. Then they refer back to the phony story endlessly, as if it were never proven false. </block
Maybe I've been living under a rock, but this is the first I've heard of this : About 2.4 billion people live in “water-stressed” countries such as China, according to a 2009 report by the Pacific Institute, an Oakland, California-based nonprofit scientific research group. Water scarcity and pollution reduce China’s gross domestic product by about 2.3 percent, the World Bank said in a 2007 r
RAHM EMANUEL FACT #4 WHEN DONORS OFFER RAHM EMANUEL $5,000 CHECKS, HE HANGS THE FUCK UP ON THEM This fact, like all Rahm Emanuel Facts, is 100% true! According to <a href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9804E4
Did you check the video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdvHwtRdg_I If you don't recall, Karl Rove was the evil genius. Everything was done by Karl Rove. Everything. It was the source of the term "Rovian Conspiracy". Rahm is sort of starting to get the same rep. That and both Rahm and Rove have a particular Donald Segretti streat doesn't hurt the comparison either.
[quote]What are you confused about? As for your odds, no bet. I agree with you, even if I do not know what ugatz is.[/quote] Ugatz is an Italian american coloquialism. I forget the actual words---but it means literally "this penis". Typically it's said in place of 'bullshit'. The part that confuses me is that we've seen this song and dance before. It was called plamegate. Yeah yeah, wingers are going to try to say "yeah but t
Pretty funny . "AFTER THE 2006 MIDTERM ELECTIONS, RAHM EMANUEL JUMPED ON A TABLE AND SAID THE REPUBLICAN PARTY "CAN GO F*** THEMSELVES" RAHM EMANUEL SENT A ROTTING FISH TO A POLLSTER HE DIDN'T LIKE » All have references. Of course, Rahm has a long way to go before he can achieve the bad ass level of the previous CoS .</p
I'm really confused by this one. I'm curious: What are the odds would you suspect Obama is going to get got through this? At this point I'm laying better money on ugatz than I am anybody coming anywhere near Obama.
This is actually one of the most frustrating things I see on a daily basis. People spend time manually merging two datasets together or doing other stupid stuff like sorting and praying everything matches up. It pisses me off for 2 reasons: 1. There's a better way and it's absurdly easy, assuming you'd just get off your ass and learn something about the software that's been on your desktop for most of your career. 2. You should know number 1. Anyway, a friend sent
As a Chicagoan (strangely enough, talking about a president from Chicago), I am shocked an appalled at this whole business. I mean we trade jobs for votes/favors/contributions on a daily basis around here. Hell, it's part of our political culture. And we like it that way! How on Earth could people get so upset over something like this? Honestly people, the next thing you'll tell me is that you can't sell a senate seat or that the dead can't vote.H
