Shakes the Clown is the best movie ever.

When there is no hope of getting new funding to study what is caused by global warming.

At some point, perhaps the solution for long trips will be to have a system where cars can draw power directly from the road. Maybe your car normally has a 100 mile range but once you get on the Interstate or other major highway, the car draws power from the road.

Perhaps a battery will be invented that stores the charge in some sort of liquid medium that can either be charged the normal way by plugging in the car or that can be drained out and re-filled with already charged liquid a "juice" station.

The vast majority of the police departments who have SWAT teams shouldn't have them but the militarization of the police is all the rage now. Once your small or medium town has one (or two), you feel compelled to use them as much as possible in order to justify their existence.

The smart gunners best strategy would be to get it required for COPS, that might be an easier sell. Once that happens, then they are assured that everyone will be forced to use them soon after. Of course, the problem is police don't want them either.

I would rather we abolish the Death Penalty and give people convicted of 1st degree murder life without parole in solitary with no interaction with other inmates.

From looking at the picture, it looks like what the telephone cord would eventually look like on the kitchen extension when I was a kid. (before everyone had cordless phones). Older people here might recall seeing mom get tangled up in the thing while gabbing away and cooking at the same time, she would eventually have to twirl around to extricate herself and hang up the phone.

Odor of pot? Heck, all they have to do is claim they smell alcohol (weather they do or not) and they have the go ahead to harass you for as long as they want.

Simple, the UN Anti-Whaling commission will be called together. Japan will serve as Chair of this commission.

The brits had more than 40 well equipped harriers while the Argentinians aircraft were not exactly well equipped or well piloted even though they had superior numbers. Even so, the British Harriers saw 10 of their Harriers lost to a combination of surface fire and accidents, none from other aircraft, and were not able to keep the Argentinians from sinking several ships (could have been worse had the Argentinian pilots been better trained). The British suffered from having gotten rid of their big carriers in favor of Harrier based small ones.

Maybe people are starting to get Titanium iron now?

"all spending bills originate in the House"

This is a joke. While "technically" true, all the senate does is take some other legislation passed by the house, amend it to spend what they want and pass it. So the House could pass a bill that names a post office and then the Senate takes that bill and add whatever new spending proposal they want (even taking out the original Post Office naming part) and even though the spending all originated in the Senate, the bill itself originated in the house so it is all good.

Men are better at avoiding work. If you can't pack it all in the dishwasher, you will have extra work to do when you hand wash what doesn't fit.

I can out dishwasher-pack my wife and get the stuff clean! While there may be some difference in the way we deal mentally with the challenge of fitting everything in that space, I think the bigger issue is that I am much more determined to not have to hand wash anything that I can't fit in there.
