Cantor's case shows that you still have to get people to vote for you, you can't simply buy a seat.

Is it possible that the average GOP voter doesn't like illegal immigration from a fairness perspective?
XKCD should do a what if? for how a trampoline could be used to get to the space station.
It always seemed like a mistake to get involved in such a venture with the Russians. Any joint venture with two co-equals with somewhat cold relations seems destined to lead to problems as each side has conflicting goals (sometimes unrelated to the joint venture).
Shakes the Clown is the best movie ever.
A month lasts longer than a fire. How about we just stop pretending singular events like fires are climate?
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.
How will the UN enforce this? This is nothing more than a symbolic gesture as I don't think sanctions are likely to hurt Japan all that much.
Simple, the UN Anti-Whaling commission will be called together. Japan will serve as Chair of this commission.
To be honest pretty much all of your criticisms about the F-35 were made about the Harrier too, but the Falklands made it clear that it did actually perform in the end given that 12 of them held their own against the entire Argentinian airforce at first which comprised of things like French built Mirage IIIs and Super Etendards, American built A4 Skyhawks, and Israeli built Daggers, all still pretty impressive jets for the early 80s
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.
I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
