Just think, you could have had universal healthcare, single payer, provided by the government, like Canada and every other industrialized nation on earth, but the moment that was proposed by Obama, the GOP had a cow, the Tea Party starting bringing guns to Town Hall meetings and Fox News screamed bloody murder that Obama was denying insurance companies their god-given right to make a profit at the expense of the American people, and the democrats caved in and let the heritage foundation proposed Romney-Care become the model for Obamacare. Wow that was a long sentence.

So you can thank Republicans for the current state of Obamacare, a plan they championed as a replacement for the original proposal, and then right after it passed into law, attempted to repeal it 51 times.

Obama needed to land on an aircraft carrier to celebrate the 7 million signups, with a big banner reading "7.1 Million", but I guess the GOP wouldn't get the irony.

Wow... have we fallen that far? I thought that when I wrote "Where in the Bible does it say that Girls should code?", I thought it was *obvious* it was satire, but I guess thanks to Colbert, there are people who really do believe he's a right wing-nut.

Either that or the conversation has become so extreme that writing anything, even *UFO aliens did it*, is considered legitimate debate from a CNN contributor. Wow. Seriously Wow.

What is this "War on Boys" started by Google? Between President Obama (who has not yet proven he's even an *american*), pushing for equal pay for women and now this sort of blatent sexism that ostracizes males from even getting a decent education, our country is going downhill.

Where in the Bible does it say that girls must code? Our country was founded by Christian Males, and males are now under attack by the socialist liberal forces now prevalent in government!

I'm not sure which is funnier.

And then there are those of us in the market for sex slaves, but don't know who to turn to in order to make such a purchase. I for one, would like to subscribe to his newsletter in these matters.

All these worlds are yours
EXCEPT EUROPA.
Use them together.
Use them in peace.

Although these days the hardware is System 390/Z-series, but I still login via TSO, I review COBOL code with comments going into 1980 (and yes, they all have Y2K patches)... The financial industry *never* throws anything away (especially if it's still making them money). Except programmers. Those they throw away.

5 Million Years to Earth.
We are the Martians.

The other reply you are castigating has a point, and I'm open to his suggestion that we keep our minds open. As soon as they provide CONCRETE EVIDENCE of such a "magic man in the sky", then I can be turned to their postulation.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and so far they haven't provided much. When there's proof of god published in a scientific journal, along with repeatable experiments garnering repeatable results, then I'm ready to accept that as theory.

After all, he was palling around with a known terrorist.

In fact, given the 6 degrees of separation factor, almost *every* American has an association with a terrorist, and even if not, the definition of terrorist can be widely expanded to make sure that you're an associate of a terrorist. Think about how many names are on that no-fly list...

Why does every one of these people campaign on a platform of "government is the problem, reduce the size of the government!", and then once in office, immediately create bills that INCREASE the size of government, pry into your personal life such as who you sleep with, and if you're a woman, even when you can have sex, and generally make it so that government *is* indeed the problem because *they* made it so?

Since the middle class has been decimated, this is how business of the future will run... now that they've fleeced the rest of us, big companies will sue other big companies and that's their ticket to profitability and stock price rises.

What I'd rather know about that ad, is that him walking along the beach with the girl in the blue bikini with the really nice ass?

And then sue anyone who reads it without the license fee being paid. Could be worth a million dollars per letter if you follow the RIAA enough. Just to be sure though, make up some song lyrics as part of the letter and you could at least get ASCAP to sue on your behalf.
