Why not just have the conductor escort her back to the passenger cars? Who let her into the cab anyway?

Was "Point Break" on the nostalgia channel last week?

I may have missed it in all the reporting but I wonder when Zim's call to the 911 operator ended. I think they like to stay connected until LE, Rescue, etc. is on the scene. Anyone recall?

I wonder if he's gonna be sticking all his cash in a Swiss bank account or a Zim bank account?

I think it'll just make you fatter since it's its own anti-particle. It won't even make a good recreational drug since you can't even get a charge out of it. That's strange. Or charmed. But clearly you're on top of it. I've always tried to follow the eightfold path as laid out by Muster Mark ....or was his name Murray? I forget.

Please tell me that was a joke. Tea party sign The sign says "Get a brain! Morans". Understanding punctuation is a key element of literacy. Obviously Morans, the guy holding the sign, is imploring folks to "get a brain". This one is my favorite. -
In other words, the Roberts' bos(opini)on is the particle for the "Roberts Field" which breaks the U(2) symmetry (mandate/tax) of the ACAon particle, thereby allowing "Constitutionality" to be defined in the lagrangian along with its myriad other properties. Maybe U(1).

Well, it is a tax because Roberts said so, whether I or Romney or anyone else likes it or not. Romney does not agree with that ruling that it is a tax (and neither do I) but that doesn't matter ...it is a tax now. But, really, all the squabbling over whether the "mandate" is or is not a tax is not the real issue (other than that it allowed the measure to stand in the SC and neither the President nor Congress asked for that. And it was not Roberts job to write law anyway.) The fact is that the ACA itself is, in effect, a tax increase to the tune of 1.1 trillion and probably much more. And it does nothing directly to decrease the cost of HC ...it only adds layers of bureaucratic nonsense to the notion of "universal coverage". I doubt it will even come close to providing universal care.

What music do skydivers listen to?

Or the primal rhythms of two radials belching to life and then humming along while the percussion section, led by the rod trying to escape, increasingly makes its way into our awareness. -
Another climate record? So you admit that globally the weather is getting more extreme, as predicted. Have an ice-cream. Well, when the weather yins in one part of the world it has to yang somewhere else.

Nothing inconsistent here. First it's not a tax,... --it's a mandate like Obama said. .....then it's a tax because Roberts says so,..... --exactly, that's how that works. The SC has spoken. .....now Roberts is "inaccurate". --Romney's opinion, which was trumped by Roberts' activist opinion. This just looks like another one of that folk-singer's flash cards in the other thread. (That wasn't you, was it? If so I apologize about the guitar comment.)

Clinics like this do exist (at least here in Fla if not in Calif). One is being opened just across the street from the ER. Emergency cases are still treated at the ER but non-emergencies are referred to the clinic. If I've read another story correctly (can't find it just now) the patients are entered into the system and assigned a primary care physician for future care and normal doctor visits. Sources of funding that a patient may qualify for, whether Medicaid or some other source, are also pursued. This idea may or may not ultimately work out but there are many such solutions that could be implemented to take the burden off the existing HC "system" without resorting to a necessarily-bloated, gargantuan, sweeping bureaucratic government program. In addition we have this. The federal government could help by allowing insurance access across state lines and passing common sense tort reform among other things.

Well, if a marginally-adequate-guitar-player/crappy-lyricist putting together a youtube vid with a bunch of out-of-context-and-maybe-even-unrelated snippets is the best they can come up with, then this ain't even gonna be close.

Confirmed? ETA - just hit the news.

Might be a bit more convincing except for the misuse of "you're". Yes, support of education is not a conservative priority. Well, the chances are way better than even that the poster maker "learned" the language from a lib teacher. -

It looks like he sucks at hiding stuff. He probably could use some of that "executive privilege" to help out a little.

Although the name "God Particle" is a bit of over-rated media sensationalism, I do think it is important enough to have a name other than "Higgs". It's a little like a world-class concert violinist having a name like "Bubba". (maybe they should have named it the "Jesús Particle" in honor of the effect or "shape" of it's field.)

.....Peanut Butter Jelly with a Baseball Bat Sword! http://www.theledger.com/article/20120701/NEWS/120709966?tc=cr I love living in Polk County! Maybe we could have a PB&J buyback program to raise money for PB safety education.

Why don't we just call it an "indulgence" and start referring to Obama as "Papa"?

Well, do the tourists show up to see Nessie (more eyes = more "sightings") ....or does Nessie seem to come around more often when there are plenty of fatted tourists to pick from?

Of course it is! I think these guys were born after Einstein and Keith Olbermann. There's proof right there!

2000 elections led to Bush winning. Bush sent the US into Iraq and Afghanistan. Bush won by 537 votes, 0.009% of the population. Yeah, WJC won with the support of less than 50% of the population and his neglect and dereliction with respect to Islamist terrorism led to an attack that killed almost 3000 non-combatants and the resultant response, for better or worse, by W. ETA - Not sure what that has to do with Zimm or Trayvon (except maybe the SYG aspect).

Good for pointing that out. That seems to me to make this ruling even more important than it appears on the surface. (I mean it might have more ramifications than was intended with respect to applying Constitutional protections or limitations in "public" or "private" environments.)
