Like Kleenex tissues and Velcro hook & loops fasteners. Both are brand names as well as trademarks. TASER is actually an acronym for Thomas A. Swift Electronic Rifle. The inventor of the device was a big Tom Swift fan and named it after Swift's nifty gun.

Over the objections of Congress? None. That's never happened, before or since WWII. It likely never will. All such executive orders have been with the cooperation of Congress, with the exception of a couple of them from Kennedy (which is probably why he was assassinated) that were quickly...

The tazing (tasing?) of the child was, of course, sarcasm and not intended to be take seriously. Same with the exotic pet reference. It was just to make the point.

Huh? Wait. They have those? Last week I did get a 498 mile run. Is that a long one? Then I had a 207 cancel, but the next day I got one for 202 miles. Sat in Dayton for nearly 4 days after that one, but then I got a sweet 3,495 pound, 229 miler to Flat Rock, and only had to wait 10 hours to get...

They should have tazed her little butt and then handcuffed her parents and charged them with failing to control an exotic pet. They should also file charges for naming her Salecia. "She has mood swings some days, which all of us had mood swings some days. I guess that was just one of her bad...

It's a bad link on the phone, but it works fine on the PC. Change the settings on the phone's browser to view the non-mobile version and it should work. It's got a video (that auto-plays - what's up with that?). The interviewer is kind of a tool.

Not only is it a logical fallacy, it's an incorrect statement. If the source had a history of "getting it wrong" then attacking the source would be valid, but this source has a history of getting it right. It's not a generic "same kinda" source, this is one of the foremost experts on the NSA...

Because it's a magazine article and not a Blog or Forum post. A 100-word magazine article would make for a very limited article in terms of depth, background, context, and information.

Same girls, probably.

It was taken at the Petro in York, NE by a storm chaser. June 17, 2009 Aurora Nebraska Tornadic Supercell Page 2 The picture above is actually at the bottom of Page 1, then there are several others from that location on Page 2 that shows the movement of the storm cell.

That's actually happened more than once. The history of the president's cabinet isn't nearly as static as many people might think.

They've never had a reported incident of that happening. At least not yet. I suppose it could happen. The one with the nipple might be a little more likely for that to happen with, but again, hasn't happened yet.

Happy Birthday!!!

No, that's not what I'm saying at all. But it doesn't surprise me that you'd interpret what I said to mean that.

Playing fast and loose with the word "definitely" aren't you?

I don't protect individuals. I only go by what is posted, and could care less about who posted it. In this particular thread, Cuz posted several comments that were fine, and one that wasn't (it was both trolling and a personal attack) which got deleted, and earned him an official warning. So I'm...

Congratulations. You've just made one of the strongest cases to justify political hypocrisy I've seen yet. LOL

I didn't copy any of it from a Web site.

The OP directly implied it in the Subject Title and in his first sentence.

First it was "always", then "only", and now "all", plus it's become a dramatically constricted context. Got it. The use of "all" is incorrect. Most, I'd say, but not all. True dat. But a lack of understanding on that subject appears to apply to most, if not all of those who have used the...
