Well, in the beginning we didn’t have ANY. We weren’t supposed to have Political Parties.

Not to throw you off topic, but didn’t they experiment with a Radio-Lock enhanced GPS?

Not getting the point. There are things only the Government can or should do.

Fighting wars. Do you have any IDEA what private contractors in Iraq cost? And the taxpayer paid for that.

Operating Prisons. Guess what? They built private prisons, with contracts that said $200 per day per prisoner, and the…

It’s a pity that the political betting website folded, you could go broke betting on Red.

There’s something WRONG with this family. :)

Batteries that aren’t soldered in can come loose. Apple decided to eliminate that by locking it down.

Actually, they’re feverishly trying to clone new varieties of banana, because the previous world favorite got wiped out by a disease, and this variety will eventually gt wiped out too.

They open thousands of bananas, scrap out the tiny black bit that might have a seed in it, throw the bananas away, and cultivate the…

Well, maybe you were cracked already and didn’t realize it.

You only make a fool of yourself posting stuff like this.

Now, I REALIZE Right Wingers literally get off repeating their conspiracy theories.

I’ve seen them, huddled up in little groups, whispering as if they’re afraid someone will hear them.

They were right; I heard them and started laughing.

The Fast and Furious gun…

The NSA got it’s marching orders from the Bush/Cheney Administration. Some policies stay in effect until cancelled.

The President got sideswiped with that one too.

These are probably the "original" model Surface that went for $12,500 apiece.

Yeah, that's not working.

Now, put those solid aerofoil "sails" on deck, and reduce drag by pumping air bubbles from the bow... and you could save a lot of fuel.

Change that picture in your mind; see it on giant pontoons, much, much wider, with fifty aerofoil sails on deck.

You DO realize that dying in Space would be by suffocation?

Solar PUMPED Laser would work.

Photocells get more efficient, but you can't get MORE efficient than a good mirror; solar thermal uses ALL the sunlight, not just some frequencies.

Try not being ridiculous sometime, see how it works.

For that matter, this is silly. Moving the tortoises, and letting them go back later, shouldn't cost more than $100 a piece even with a licensed Tortoise Wrangler.

Well... not that long. Almost a week though.

Ask a glider pilot. The Cessna isn't the most aerodynamic design, though... more of a bull in a China Shop design.

Well, it's NOT a stable flight, and it's not supposed to be.
