Nope, he just ignores the fact that the alternatives are actually the ones blocking these bills. But hey, this bill will hurt business' profit margins and we can't let that happen even if the end result is the average American's income is reduced to that of a sweatshop laborer in East Asia. The...

Most of our tax money goes to infrastructure of some sort. Education, roads, public health, maintenance, ect. If your business is somehow dependent on one of these utilities, and most of them are, it is in your best interest to help maintain these utilities. If you are a technology firm, for...

Everything depends on the density of the planet, unfortunately we have no way of knowing yet. If it has the same density as the Earth,~5.5g/cm^3, it should be around 1.5 times Earth gravity. However, if it is like the moon which is 3.3 g/cm^3, it might even be less than Earth norm.* *I did...

Since you bring up the Iraq War, I'll remind you as to the roll count who supported it. House Republicans 215 in support 6 against Democrats 82 in support 126 against Senate Republicans 48 in support 1 against Democrats 29 in support 21 against So that is over 97% unanimity within...

It likely doesn't mean all that much. It is a sign that they are becoming more extremist, but that seems to be a working plan for the Republican party at least in the 2010 elections since the Democratic party has always been a big tent party that inspires lukewarm enthusiasm. Sure they lost 21%...

when: n = (sin x)/6 and x can not be defined by the expression pi * e where e is any integer value.

No, that wasn't the best line from John Boehner, "we are not going to be any different than what we've been.”

Done, sorry it took a while. There where a total of 32,748 non duplicate entries in the 2009 database. Of these 7,126 where related to the H1N1 vaccine. death: 39 paralysis: 12 autism: 0 <-really? blindness: 4 deafness: 7 Rockaction can explain these numbers better than I can so...

You know, there is a very simple way that you can test this. Look at the mortality rate for diseases before and after a vaccine was introduced, and then look at the mortality rate attributed to the vaccine itself. If you want, I can do this for you. VAERS provides access to the raw data on...

The last major outbreak in the United States occurred 5 years ago. 34 got sick, from one individual who had who had been on travel. Of those who had gotten sick, 32 had been eligible to be vaccinated, 2 where too young to be vaccinated. Of the 32 whom had be eligible, only 2 had ever had the...

Democrats where more than a little outraged when Bush passed the PATRIOT Act that essentially set the standard for privacy issues. The progressives have had more than a few problems getting equally outraged by simulator legislation passed by Democratic Administrations like the DMCA passed by...

So masturbation becomes good when you can sniff a girl's dirty gym clothes while engaging in 'activity'. In an effort to spare myself of this embarising conversation, I think I am willing to deal with the side effects. How many decades? Two? Three? Oh seven, I think I am fine, my...

Term limits are not going to solve anyone's problem. The guys in office are corrupt, everyone agrees about this. The new guys, equally corrupt. The only difference that creating a 4 year or 8 year term limit will make is that we get to cycle though corrupt guys even faster. In other words...

You really shouldn't be looking at it that way, think about your future competition instead. Rich now, children learn the numbers 0-9. If we convert to base pi, really all they need to know is 0-3. That is 60% less teaching for parents with young children, I call that a win right there. The...

pi is exactly 10 is base pi. 4 from base ten is quite irrational though when you try using base pi. Non-integer representation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Somehow, I think that this is relevant.
