I can hardly wait to subsidize yet another big corporation. I was just thinking, I have wayyyyy too much money and I don't work nearly enough.

How about just dropping the Jones act and let foreign ships in to help, rather than this administration protecting its union cronies?

disclaimer: I loathed the last administration too.

I guess like everything else we over-tax and over-regulate, soon we'll drive all web hosting out of the United States.

This is going to be a hell of a country to live in 10-20 years from now when absolutely no business takes place here. :)

Instead, the spent about $20 worth of someone's time to plant a FUD story on slashdot?! :)

If we're not allowed to video tape cops doing bad things, perhaps it's time for armed intervention to save innocent people from overzealous cops.

Sarcasm mark - that's real useful.

I can't imagine what could possibly go wrong with giving the government more power to regulate the Internet.

It's a good thing only the republicans engage in fear tactics.

Obama is a socialist. Well, more of a corporatist whore, but certainly embracing socialism and fascism as well. Your diatribe to the contrary doesn't change the fact that he embraces wealth redistribution, state control of private companies, and crony capitalism.

However, the idea that republicans aren't just as bad is pretty laughable.

While you easily distracted people on both sides of the aisle defend your 'team', we all get screwed by the same establishment party.

If you think the republicans have a monopoly on censorship, you've had your head buried in the sand too long.

Heard of the fairness doctrine?

The problem is that we health nuts now, by decree of our totalitarian rulers, have to pay for you lardos medical care. :)

I can cover 1 km pretty quickly, but then I'm far from being one of the 30%+ of obese Americans ...

This sounds like a perfect government project - make people unhealthy, solve a problem that doesn't need a solution, and do it all by milking the tax payers for billions of dollars to funnel to unions and cronies.

... is what I learned from democrats:

This is clearly sexual discrimination with no need to probe into why there are differences. We must immediately pass a low mandating a $10k raise for all females in IT, spend $500M overhauling universities to make computer science more appealing, and change entrance standards to require 70% of all students to be female.

Then, at last, we'll have eliminated sexism!

Are they finally cracking down on the Federal Reserve's printing of all this phony money?

You don't understand, it's okay with democrats now, because it's being done by *their* team.

If only we had a powerful and secretive central bank, all of this could be avoided!
