Your point then is that you support local jurisdictions and states making their own laws, except when you disagree with them and want the federal government to overturn them? Gotcha. Nice even-handed approach to law and government, there.

Maybe some of the programmers who worked on that page could fix this mess? Yeah it's far from the greatest page in the history of the interwebs but it is more functional than this one. I'll bet its administrators are more responsive to user feedback as well.

I used to read it regularly when flying. This was primarily because reading skymall was free, while buying a magazine at the airport was expensive (and I inevitably would forget to pick one up some place less expensive before going to the airport). While it wasn't exactly bursting at the seams with good deals, there were some things selling at reasonable prices in there. The more novel feature of it was that it was a pretty random selection of products; one page might be garden supplies while the next might be pool toys then power tools then kitchen accessories.

Now did I ever buy anything from it? No. So I am in part responsible for its demise as well.

I'm more concerned about the possibility of this becoming an excuse for the airlines to raise fares yet again. If skymall paid the airlines even $3 per seat to have their catalog in every seat back, the airlines will tell us that losing that contribution will increase the cost of every ticket by at least $20 (expect this to show up as an a la carte fee along with pillows, blankets, snacks, and seat belts).

Don't be like the disgusting majority of windows users who log in everytime as admin. Login with regular user access and half the viruses become helpless.

To give the devil his due, that guy at least doesn't seem to be pushing the idiotic notion of it being a "choice". That said, if he thinks that soy is the "cause" I'm sure he'll be encouraging people to work on a "cure".

Hey, we had a front page story that leads right into one of your 5 favorite anti-Obama conspiracies, were you asleep at the wheel or something today? Granted, an AC brought up your conspiracy first but there's still plenty of opportunity for you to jump in on it yet!

I'm sorry that you can't be bothered to actually read the sources that you link to. Well, actually the source you link to, as one is just a blog post. The WashPo article actually discredits your conspiracy conjecture, but since you couldn't be bothered to read it you don't know that.

Anyone with the slightest shred of common sense realizes that the IRS was doing their job. In case you have forgotten, the role of the IRS is to collect taxes. If they get an application for tax exempt status from a group that is vehemently opposed to taxation and known for making statement encouraging people to cheat on their taxes, they should put extra scrutiny on that application.

This is no different from the DEA aiming to work harder investigating NORML and other such pro-drug organizations.

In other words, find a different conspiracy for your anger. This one isn't worth shit.

That is easily the most insightful comment in this discussion so far.

I was wondering how long it would take before the slashdot conservative majority brought out that conspiracy conjecture again. I see it took less than 20 comments and less than 15 minutes.

So again, it comes down to what you want to believe, having absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with anything that you have facts to support the belief in.

As cousin Balky says, don't be ridiculous. We all know this is your top conspiracy conjecture. You didn't post it just to get eyeballs and comments over here, you posted it because you believe it will help your quest to bring about a premature end of the current POTUS.

How is this different from any other conservative group that is disappointed to see that all the independent investigations have failed to impeach President Lawnchair? Complaining that an investigation didn't live up to your dreams is not the same as having an actual problem with it that is based on facts instead of feelings.

And that was just on money that went straight from the industry to politicians, in the form of campaign contributions or outright bribes. Imagine how much they would have spent if they didn't already own congress and had to play fair...

And the rest of America lost.

Seriously Google, don't mess with the insurance industry. Don't mess with any part of it. They will make you pay. Look at what happened in 2010; we thought we were going to finally get a single-payer option for Americans and instead the federal government handed out the largest corporate handout in the history of government to the health insurance industry.

If Google tries to disrupt the insurance industry we soon will have no Google.

You want to try to change your story again? Too late. Everyone has known for some time that you are not the same red4man that used to be here. Some (not me) might consider you to be a decent tribute but we all know you are not the same.
