    Now what?

    Use your wife's computer for a bit and see if it happens here, as well. If it doesn't, we can confine the problem to your computer, or the browser you are using, or some Internet setting (like a proxy setting). Are you using IE 9?

    4-year-old artist making splash in city

    I thought this sounded familiar. Had to dig, but found it, a story from 2 years ago about a 22-month old prodigy who critics don't believe she's doing it all on her own, and that there must be collaboration with the parents. Watch the video. :D The critics have all been proven wrong in the...

    Weiner says.. wait, that WAS me!

    Well, of course, the Democrats are largely amateurs compared to Conservative Republicans when it comes to sex scandals. Democrats have quite a laundry list, to be sure, but it's really small potatoes when you compare it to the Republicans. A lot of the stuff Democrats do, as bad as it is, in...

    Freedom or Privacy or ?

    Oh, I agree that the likelihood that privacy will be lost is great, but it's still not a lock.

    Now what?

    "I have a PC, XP pro with SP3. My wife has Windows 7 home. " Does it happen with both computers?

    Really?

    Actually, no on both counts. One, we don't differentiate its stage for clinical reasons, because it's not a clinical term. It is derived from "to yoke", to join together, much like yoking a couple of oxen to use for plowing. A zygote is still the single cell that is produced when a mature sexual...

    Freedom or Privacy or ?

    It'll save him from libel and slander, but it still won't get him off the hook for violating her privacy rights. In most cases, yes. Depends, yes, and yes. Does what negate what? If the government assumes the responsibility, you cannot assume with any certainty that there will be no privacy...

    Freedom or Privacy or ?

    Interesting indeed. The court order to have the billboard removed will be signed, it's just a matter or procedure at this point. The NM Right to Life organization asked to have their endorsement removed, mainly because Fultz created a brand new organization which doesn't even exist called...

    Really?

    I don't say this expecting to change anyone's mind, as they believe what they are going to believe. But I do think it's interesting that you described a fetus, twice, using a qualifier both times. No, a human fetus is not a baby. A baby is a baby. A human fetus is a fetus. There's a difference...

    Fits Right In!!

    "Just ANOTHER politician who cannot be trusted in any way, shape or form. Willing to lie?" Willing to lie? Of course he's willing to lie. That's what politicians doooooo. They lie. It's their job. The good ones are simply better at it than the bad ones. Plus, if everyone were supposed to quit...

    Weiner says.. wait, that WAS me!

    Well, at least he's not just sorry, but rather, deeply sorry. That's important. It's the difference in being just a wiener, and pure baloney.

    Really?

    Well, speech can, absolutely, be squashed and squelched by many means other than by violence. But in any case, that's still not my question. My question didn't include any variables, like violence. Nor does it include taking away the rights of an entire people. It's a simple premise with a...

    Really?

    Are you a politician now? Or perhaps a dispatcher? Because you gave a non-answer to some question, that came from I know not where, that any politician or dispatcher would be proud of, and completely avoided the question I asked. Soooooo, I'll try it again.... In the context of your statement...

    Really?

    All threats? What about threats from other citizens? Say, if you were to say something, or were about to, and someone else, another citizen or a group of citizens, disagreed with what you had have to say or were about to say, should they be allowed to prevent you from saying it?

    Are you a Toy Story, Cars, Pixar or Cheers Fan?

    That's very kewl. Toy Story, Cars, Pixar, Cheers? No, no, no, his most important role was as Major Derlin, rebel force commander in Empire Strikes Back. Without him, the rebels would surely have lost to the Empire. :D

    Make your Headlines

    Have you ever taken a dump, and then a couple hundred miles later it suddenly dawns on you that you forgot to wipe yet butt? I hate when that happens. Have you ever had a dream you were just about to dive into a swimming pool, and just as you dive in you wet the bed? I hate when that...

    Palin's Paul Revere

    No, it wasn't "just that he had," it was that he had by riding his horse through town and ringing those bells and firing those shots. He didn't do that. And there's no amount of spin that will make it true. One, there were no loud warnings for the British to hear in the context of Revere's...
