US Politics?

I do. Absolutely.

Giants at Packers ... Sweet!

Rant. My Internet was down for several days. I have now bought two Geek Squad shirts at about $300 apiece so I wear them frequently, particularly for Halloween. My UWMadison bestest friend discovered that their recently installed Webroot Spy Sweeper software was the problem, so am back ranting if anyone cares.

Talk, Not Walk. imho, Presidential elections bite because a candidate can say anything with no accountability. Remember all the Bush promises? We all hear great common sense ideas of what our candidates will do, butt most can't actually deliver even if elected. Does anyone really believe that Ross Perot could do much of what he said he would, or that Ron Paul could actually eliminate the IRS and Foreign Aid, or that Obama could end partisan politics? On and on and on ...

Too much conflicting political power with radically different objectives similar to our various competing LOST Island groups. Listen to what people say, but it is far more important to watch what they actually do or can do. Unfortunately, political machines are necessary evils to actually get things done thru trading and networking. Seems to me that President Hillary/VP Richardson are our best necessary evil to do many right things.

NASA. Not about science or exploration. Think that NASA receives most funding for developing rocket and related technologies like carrying heavy loads, positioning where desired, and most importantly today, scanning/sensing/mapping/tracking objects from vast distances. All have mostly military uses with some civilian uses like weather, GPS, communications, and air traffic control - RichPundit

Frickin' Michigan Primary is a joke for Democrats today ... choices are "Clinton" or "Uncommitted".

Hey, Michigan voters -- make a statement. Vote Uncommitted

[clueless1der]

I thought MI was a blue state??

Can someone explain this? I don't understand how there can only be one name when the Dems haven't picked a candidate.

Sorry to be an idiot...

My understanding is that Michigan went rogue and decided to hold their primary early. In retaliatian, the DNC stripped Michigan of its delegates for the convention. The RNC stripped all but like 30 delegates on their side.

a) I know you were kidding.

b) Wasn't lying about where I was. Its not kind to accuse someone of something like that if you aren't sure.

Tailhook's right. Because they elected to have their primary earlier than February 5 (normal "Super Tuesday" for them) they were "smacked"...all the Dems pulled their names from the ballot in support EXCEPT for Clinton.

Nice, huh?

Oh, yeah - TH ... you an SC guy or is that just your 'base of operations'?
