I only made it a few past that one, but yeah, that one was definitely in the running for funniest that I read. Stupid people are fun to laugh at. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

My understanding was that the split went somewhat in Obama's favor, but not overwhelmingly. I watched the Caesar's Palace caucus on CNN, and Obama got one more state delegate than Clinton (17 v. 16) by getting 86 votes compared to Clinton's 80. It was reported that other casino caucases were similarly split, tho these do only represent those portions who were either at work or just getting on/off work. Frankly, I was suprised that Clinton got so many votes at the at large caucuses, given that she'd spent the week hoping that those people wouldn't get the opportunity to vote at all.

Mike Huckabee last week suggested that the Constitution should be amended to be more in line with God's laws. The fact that he wasn't completely ripped to shreds by the press on that is evidence that free passes go to both sides of the aisle. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

This is only slightly related, but was anyone else a little disturbed by the fact that Romney got 94% of the Mormon vote in Nevada? It makes sense to me that he'd win a majority of them, but 94%?! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

If Mr. Paul draws a significant percentage of votes, expecially from the republicans AND the democrats, both parties may be compelled to adjust their platforms somewhat in pursuit of those votes. It's pretty clear that he won't win the GOP nomination, I'm just hoping he runs as a Libertarian and garners enough votes to get the party matching funds and perhaps even throw a bit of a wrench in the election plans of the republocrats. I, for one, am sick of seeing the same things work for those two time after time, with the same results. I don't agree with Mr. Paul on everything, but I agree with him on much of it. And it's kind of funny watching you get your panties in a bunch every time his name is brought up. I'm attending a local GOP function tomorrow night. I hope they're flustered to see someone who normally caucuses with the Democrats there in support of Paul...with my alternate being Obama. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

for those of you who might be interested in his campaign but who are not receiving all the emails from registering on his site: I've never donated money to a political campaign before, so I just might owe beer later today. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Personally, I like the fact that I can stop at the grocery store and get everything I want for dinner, including meat, veggies, and wine. (In WA, beer and wine are sold in grocery and convenience stores, but hard alcohol is only sold in state-run liquor stores. No alcohol may be sold anywhere between 2 AM and 6 AM, and liquor stores are closed on Sundays). Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Exactly. The ethanol in tequila is no different than the ethanol in beer. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Ha ha, between that, and CNN.com reporting the aiport had gotten a total of 0.4" of snow at midnight, and nothing but rain thereafter, why am I not surprised that schools were closed in 12 counties due to the snow. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I can't really say what made her fall for me, but my guess is it was because I am the biggest dork. Whatever it was, it certainly worked in my favor!

Actually, I think that one's pretty good, though I'd modify it to "kitty". With a little luck, the dog will get positive reinforcement for coming when called on a regular basis. She says "Come here kitty" and if he does, he gets to chase the cat that was also answering the call. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

They are exempt from any taxes. Seperation of church and state Congress can either make a law exempting churches from tax (which would be a law respecting an establishment of religion) or they can make a law taxing all businesses that generate a profit. It seems to me, admittedly a layman, that the latter would be more constitutionally sound. While small neighborhood churches are unlikely to operate at much, if any, profit, those companies with their own cable network are most assuredly businesses by any reasonable interpretation and, in my opinion, should be taxed like any other.

People are lazy. We, the population, can either benefit from that laziness or die as a result of it. I know which I'd rather see. Apparently so do you. Blues, Dave You obviously missed where I stated that I *am* a donor. The difference is that I made that choice of my own free will. The implied consent proposed takes that free will to make that choice away from the lowest common denominator - the person that is uninformed about the proposed law. The system isn't broken - quit trying to fix it. If there needs to be more donors, then push more aggressively for people to opt-in. I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about the lazy people. And I ain't trying to fix it, I'm just arguing on a skydiving website about a proposed law in another country. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I'm not mad, I'm just glad I don't have to work for you. I agree that what you said is true, and I think it's a sad state of affairs, but that doesn't mean it needs to stay that way. If the people of this country would collectively grow a set and refuse to submit to such testing, employers would drop the requirement or face a significant competitive disadvantage. The company I work for now does make me pee in a cup annually, but only for medical monitoring (for occupational exposure stuff). Same with my last employer, and the one before that. Since 1989, I've only worked for companies who treat me with respect in that regard, and I'm happy about that. Obviously your employees don't care, or at least not enough to refuse, and that's their choice. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

They're just using their income to try and generate more income. I consider those ads about as compelling as the ambulance-chaser legal advice ads. On a related note - Am I correct that in the US, churches are exempt from paying taxes on their profits? If so, can anyone explain why this is and should be the case?

Regardless of the fact that your post freeks the hell out of me , I see your point however, we are talking about a situtation where a government agency TAKES control of (insert anything here) by default. Hard for me to accept A - Have we even established that the government would be taking control of the bodies? Without any particular knowledge of the system, it seems to me that it would simply be one hospital transferring potentially life-saving tissue to another patient, whether they are at that hospital or another within reasonable distance. Would the government have control? B - Can the government not already take control of your body if they decide they want to do an autopsy on you? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

Erin plans to have me stuffed and put me out on the front porch with a motion-detector activated loudspeaker yelling, "GET THE HELL OFF OF MY LAWN!"
