What are you talking about? The Affordable Care Act was a federal law signed by the President.

why is education literally never a talking point during elections?
Because you're talking about Federal elections, and education is funded and managed almost entirely at the state and local levels of government.
Lots of people, including Sen. Ted Cruz, think that "Common Core" is a federal initiative. It was developed by the National Governors Association and approved per state.
anyone willing to call out the WoD on it's uselessness might as well claim he fiddles little children's weewees at night, he might generate a lighter backlash with this claim.
No politician in our PC-heavy climate would even dare to think about it.
It's not 1986 anymore and the "PC-heavy climate" is entirely in your head.

So, in the long run, Greece needs to leave the Euro. Except, a majority of Greeks want to stay in the Euro. Thus, the current Greek government wants to get kicked out, so they can blame the EU for it. But the EU does not want to take the blame, so they won't kick out Greece. What we have now, is a slow speed train wreck.
The part of the story I find interesting, that nobody is talking about, is that there are no written procedures for either kicking Greece out of the Euro Zone, or for Greece to voluntarily leave the Euro. One side or the other would have to unilaterally declare their action, and then dare the other side to deal with it. There will be 8000 lawsuits in 30 different courts asking judges to essentially create the rules as they go. Those cases could drag on for years. The financial markets would hate that kind of uncertainty.
That's coming in 2017.
Brady will get suspended for lying to the investigators, not for the underinflated balls. Just like Richard Nixon.
Peyton Manning as well.
The energy of the thrust effect is basically lost in the measurement error. Hell, the device measuring it could be affecting the measured thrust.
That's not true. They're measuring 30-50 micronewtons on a device with a 10-15 micronewton margin of error. Do you seriously think that the NASA scientists who did the testing don't grasp how margin of error works?
never mind that they are whipping themselves up into a froth about the least common categories of gun violence.
It's the least common within the category of violent crimes. But a huge percentage of that category is drug and/or gang related crimes. If a suburban middle class person is going to be killed in random violence, it's likely going to be a psycho bringing a 100 round drum magazine into a movie theater- like what happened in Colorado a couple years ago. The same people are more likely to be killed non-randomly by a family member, but nobody wants to acknowledge that.
you have to count the 90% that make less than $65,000 a year.
58% of Americans have a household income less than $65k.
Don't bother trying to bring logic into this. Here on Slashot, ESPN/Disney is evil and sports are evil.
The CIA and NSA forced Airbus to build huge planes that nobody wants, over budget and behind schedule? Wow. They're really good.
The last two major regulatory issues these companies have faced are net neutrality and the merger- and they've lost both. So at least recently, they don't seem to be buying any of the government any of the time.
Cox is Las Vegas is 100/20 with very good uptime. Netflix ranked Cox one of the fastest ISPs. I think the only faster ones were Google, and one or two tiny little ISPs.
The point is that Charter is not buying Time Warner.
An Ada exception is when a routine gets in trouble and says 'Beam me up, Scotty'.
