Maureen Dowd is a long time NYT columnist. She is a brilliant writer (Pullitzer Prize winning) with a sharp, acerbic wit (I love how she refers to Obama as "Spock"). Her latest column is no different. When she says that Hillary getting more votes in the popular vote can serve as her...

The same argument can be made using any routine or recurring (especially unnecessary) expense. Coffee, milk, life insurance, underwear, it's a long list.

"reasonable people" = "gullible liberals" I think Trump is right in calling this a scam by Jill Stein. Originally, the goal for this was $2.5 million, because that's pretty much exactly what a recount in WI, MI and PA will cost. For example, in Michigan it costs $125 per precinct for a recount...

I would have warned John Lennon. I also would have taken every penny I had and laid down a bet on the 1980 USA Olympic hockey team to win the Gold, and then taken those winnings and divided it up between Apple, Microsoft and Intel.

I picked up a few more things. Thanks John.

I know. Just like the unarmed black men who are being shot just for being unarmed black men aren't the ones doing the shooting, either.

I agree. Like I said, it's a pretty complicated issue. It would be an easy problem to solve if police would just stop shooting people, and bad guys would respect authority. But neither of those are going to happen until the root cause is acknowledged and fixed.

No, not unless shot at. But waiting to shoot only after a real, credible threat presents itself, instead of a imaginary or perceived potential threat, is a good start. It would prevent people in the toy department at Walmart from getting shot because they were holding a BB gun. It would prevent...

No, I wouldn't. That's why I'm not a cop. There are at least 18 answers to that question, only one of which is "he's going for a gun," and even that one doesn't justify instant death as a penalty.

Yes, we very much disagree, as I don't believe the penalty for keeping your hands out of sight, exercising freedom of speech, and running away should be extrajudicial death.

Trying to come up with ways to stop police killings is treating the symptom, not the cause. It's a pretty complicated issue that won't be solved on a web forum, but as long as the centurions view the public as an enemy threat, and as long as the citizens view the centurions as enemy oppressors...

Not sure why you're sorry. That's what we're here for. But it would seem that you still need to do more research. I'd start by going to a truck stop or two, several times, and talking to a few straight truck drivers.

Fingers... Cold... Dead... Pry... :punch:

I think we'd leave the military bases there. We have them all over the world as it is. As for the water, just cut 'em off. That'll learn' em.

California would do fine. If you factor in the Cost of Living, California drops to #11 in the world just below France (and China jumps to #1 ahead of the USA). Texas has about the same GDP as Mexico, incidentally. GDP doesn't factor in federal money.

The problem with unlimited data plans are the people who will use the phone as their home WiFi router and watch TV and movies 6-10 hours a day, all of it over the Internet, using 500 GB or more a month. The plan I'm on is the Nationwide Talk 900 for $59.99. It gives me 900 talk minutes, but...

The mayor is getting roasted on Twitter. There's a whole hashtag for him and everything.

CNN really has a woody over this conflict of interest thing. It's not like we didn't know Trump has business interests all over the world. Maybe if they'd treated him seriously as a candidate, and talked about all this then. They're crapping their pants over Ivanka sitting in on a meeting with...

Not really a solution for someone who hates iPhones and prefers Android phones, though. FlyingVan beat me to it. :D
