Palin just lost my vote. I liked her because she managed to balance the budget in Alaska ...

Balance the budget in Alaska? How hard is that?

More than 80% of Alaska's state revenue is from oil taxes, royalties and fees.
In Alaska you don't pay state income tax or state sales tax, the state pays you

As the price of oil increased she could (and did) spend more

I once thought some guy from Texas born with a silver foot in his mouth, who had basically relied on daddy's friends and connections his entire adult life, would have been equally unelectable. I was disastrously wrong.

That's just proof that the "American Dream" is alive and well.
In America, anyone can grow up to be President. Even a idiot.

I can't distinguish the pope from some loony old guy who keeps talking weird stuff

You forgot the important part, he does it while wearing a funny hat.

Hell most of us carry around portable, largely untraceable Internet devices in our pockets these days.

I don't know what your carrying around in you pocket, but I've never heard of a "largely untraceable Internet devices" before. Please tell me more.

The fact that you have a 3G signal doesn't guarantee any minimum performance...

Well it provides for a sort of minimum performance. The wikipedia article to which you linked claims it does anyway.

From the first paragraph;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3G

That may be just a step to far. How about this instead;

Before casting a vote for any bill the voting member must have personally read the bill in it's entirety.

Does that not seem reasonable?

Better take that "and justice for all" out of that silly pledge of yours

...I'm laughing at this. Nobody is going to go back, find the former president, put him on trial, say "You did shit during a war while you were president that we should hang you for,"

That never happens to former presidents,

Slobodan Milosevi

It's unthinkable

Charles Taylor

Former presidents are untouchable

Radovan Karadzi

Can't happen to soon I say.

Oops. You forgot to include the cost of dealing with the spent fuel.

Then, see if the monkeys are just as interested in watching other monkeys handle situations, as we are in watching humans...

So you want to show them re-runs of Lancelot Link Secrent Chimp? Seems a little like cruelty to animals.

14 patients?

Was that a taxi or a clown car?

Where did you get $13 billion?

I looked up BP's 2009 revenue and came up with $246.14 billion

Also I think your confusing and/or commingling taxes and royalties

The government collects production royalties to compensate the general public for the market value of the resources that businesses remove from public lands.

It's not BP's oil, it the people of the United States oil. We agreed to let them take it out of our ground and sell it, if they give us a share. That's not a tax.

Being raised by a good rancher is a great bargain for a cow.

Remember that great bargain of yours includes having your balls removed (for what, maybe 99% of the males) without anesthesia?

And of course I assume your good rancher does not send his cattle to a feedlot since I don't see how anyone could consider that to be less suffering than being free.

OK, I give up.

How did you compute a 38% difference between Coca-Cola and Coca-Cola.com,

Did you use the Levenshtein distance in the caculation?
