Which makes me wonder... if we elected one president and she suspended the Constitution, would that make her a "dyctator"?

You Belong in the Silent Generation |
You fit in best with people born between 1925 and 1942. You are a person of high values and character. Family, your country, loyalty, and hard work all important to you. You are willing to do what's right, even when it's difficult. |

"It's not a fee that would mitigate the effects of carbon - to do that we would be planting trees and buying wind power credits," said agency spokeswoman Karen Schkolnick. "This recovers the cost of the agency integrating climate protection into all of our programs."
In other words, we're taxing the crap out of you to pay for an agency that decides how much we should tax the crap out of you.
Better idea: scrap the agency, then you don't need the tax.

Wrong.
These questions may be old to you, but a LOT of people only follow politics incidentally, and this may well be the first time they heard them. They may not even have been aware of the controversies those questions referred to.
Not everyone who votes is a news junkie.

Yes it would.
Not a victory, just an end.
And a new beginning a few years later.

Yeah, I know. Who am I to talk? I sound like I just stepped off the set of Fargo.
The thing is, I know proper English, but I frequently choose not to use it in order to support an atmosphere of informal camaraderie.
Some people use non-standard dialects because they don't know any better.
And I look down on them.

The eco-nuts are the new shaven-headed 70's Krishnas, and the whole freakin' world is turning into an airport.

1. Make sure the pirates canÂ’t offer a superior productThis one is obvious, which makes it even more infuriating that most publishers are incapable of grasping it. Your wonderful DRM scheme for which you paid so much money is going to be outlived by the average Drosophilidae. Your (legit) users are going to be faced with online activation, CD checks, and typing in serial numbers the size of nuclear launch codes. A pirate is going to click "install" and get on with the gaming, already.
To his credit, he does more than just bitch about it, he offers some solutions.

"Some 3,000 scientific robots that are plying the ocean have sent home a puzzling message. These diving instruments suggest that the oceans have not warmed up at all over the past four or five years. That could mean global warming has taken a breather. Or it could mean scientists aren't quite understanding what their robots are telling them."
Translation - if their facts don't support our dogma, their facts are stupid.
Oh well, at least SOMEBODY is admitting that global warming is the big fat lie:
Kevin Trenberth at the National Center for Atmospheric Research says [excess atmospheric heat is] probably going back out into space. The Earth has a number of natural thermostats, including clouds, which can either trap heat and turn up the temperature, or reflect sunlight and help cool the planet.That can't be directly measured at the moment, however.
"Unfortunately, we don't have adequate tracking of clouds to determine exactly what role they've been playing during this period," Trenberth says.
That's right, the people predicting eco-disaster forgot to factor clouds into their computer models.
Oops.
Have I mentioned lately how much I hate the global warming Nazis? Because I really, really do.

About 8 minutes, but fascinating to watch. Yes, that's a real elephant.
Two observations:
I had no idea that elephants had such fine motor control with their trunks.
No upward brush strokes. Only down.

And even if you are, it still isn't.
I mean, only 10% of it is funny. The other 90% is just awkward.
Awkward should only be used sparingly in a comedy, if at all.
