1) Completely redoing your constitutional model is not easy. Why haven’t we Americans gotten rid of the electoral college? It’s anti-democracy, after all. Having a queen with no formal power is less anti-democratic than having Presidential canidates get over 2 million more votes and still lose. Changing things is…

I’d tell you what I’d be moving up from the store brand mustard.

I will be working since my boss quit about 3 weeks ago and I inherited her work, and we are in the middle of a project and I am in the middle of all the paperwork of getting a promotion, title change, switched over to salary and a huge raise. I’m not throwing all that way for some nebulous strike. I’ve spent 5 years…

Considering he was just shot in the hand and chest and is probably pretty doped up, i’ll give him a pass. AFAIK, he was the only one who even tried to intervene, and he made a courageous decision to do so. Most people wouldn’t.

A cab driver almost hit me on my bike two years ago when I had to swerve to avoid a pedestrian who stepped into the bike lane on Bleecker. He also honked his horn. The press never reported anything about it.
