These are the kinds of politicians that need to be excised from their positions, regardless of party or affiliated ideology.

I've always believed that anyone who actually wants to work in politics should be automatically disqualified from the position on the basis that they are clearly degenerate.

The government already has access to my bank account. They don't need to break into my computer to get it.

They'd be interested in your password though. Either in case you re-use it elsewhere or to help them guess the type of passwords you'd use for other accounts.

I don't know if this should be +1 paranoid, or +1 insightful.

28 gun deaths per day is a steep price for our society's inability to distinguish between anecdotes and statistics.

28 gun deaths per day is a cheap price for our society's continued freedom from government tyranny. That's what the second amendment is about. Not self defense, not hunting, not skeet shooting. Protection from tyranny. It's a recognized right for the people to possess the means to revolt should they choose.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Seriously???

This made sense back in the 18th and 19th centuries. Do you really expect to stand up to the US government with a bunch of hunting rifles, shotguns, pistols and the odd assault rifle? Hell, why aren't the people doing that now, when things like gitmo, DHS overreach and other such stomping of freedoms surely must be considered tyranny? (here's a hint - you'd lose long before martial law was declared).

Enjoy your "freedom".

What is white emiiting?

Perhaps it's related an olde English discovery?

Lord Percy Percy: I've done it, my Lord! I've discovered how to turn things into gold! Pure gold!
Blackadder: You have? Show me!
Lord Percy Percy: [takes lid off melting pot, and Baldrick, Percy and Blackadder are bathed in a green glow] Behold!
Blackadder: Percy... it's green.
Lord Percy Percy: Yes, my Lord!
Blackadder: Now, look, Percy, I don't mean to be pedantic or anything, but the color of gold... is gold. That's why it's called gold. What YOU have discovered, if it has a name, is some... Green.
Lord Percy Percy: [removes lump of Green from pot] Oh, Edmund... can it be true? That I hold here, in my mortal hand, a nugget of purest Green?
