True, though to be fair, in this case it was done by an organization of the states superintendents so it hopefully wouldn't suffer from the political doctrine but I understand the risk. Though a uniform political education (nationwide) versus a state-by-state based political education (state...

Aye, must say I'm disappointed. I was hoping for a decent catalog of the good movies that are actually coming out.

What is wrong with the strong standard system? I would think an attempt at a minimum standard for what people should know across the country would be beneficial as it would help create a base expectation of knowledge.

There was a talk on NPR radio a few weeks back that mentioned how a ton of states were coming together to try and create a standard curriculum for all of the United States in hopes of elevating the education system. However, a few states were adamantly opposed to it, one of them being Texas...

I would be more concerned with this if they were only able to convince a few republicans. Being able to convince none simply shows me that the republicans stood by party lines and nothing more in this matter. I respect the democrats who voted against it (because they actually had their reasons)...

I think the challenge with doing it piece by piece is that many of the bigger pieces all relate. I.E. If you allow preexisting condition patients, then you must have the mandate. Hopefully, now that the big picture has been passed, the democrats and republicans can work together to target...

Not sure what you mean with the dancing with the stars, idol deal. Can you elaborate further what you actually are implying by that? As for whining, someone asked what the health care reform stated and all you said was that it changes student loans and taxes tanning beds. Fine, pretend you're...

Rather than listen to Professor Danger's whining, here's an actual list of what the bill does: http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN1914020220100319 And danger, the taxes on tanning beds are because the ones using those types of lights can cause long term damage to a person's health. So...

I'm curious about its effects. The huffington post is super liberal but their fact sheet on the final bill is rather pessimistic. You can read it here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jane-hamsher/fact-sheet-the-truth-abou_b_506026.html

Jon Stewart did a funny set on Chatroulette... check it : Chat Roulette on Daily Show I've enver used it, no interest in seeing penis.

In order to continue this thread... it reminds me a lot of those asinine interview questions where you have to figure out how to solve a problem. So I'll continue it with one of those :). There are two rooms, one with three light bulbs, one with three switches. A person needs to figure out...

Except EA won't ever let that happen I'm sure :(

ahem Woman marries carnival ride or maybe on their sex life... So no one has married a game boy... YET

That's what i was hoping when i saw this follow them everywhere thing :).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64a_1fWTsls Flight of the Conchords... because they are amay-zing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ffm-u6xRUmQ A parody of R&B music everywhere. These are my favorite funny/enjoyable songs.

Whoa here's a clear problem. Most everyone you're arguing with is talking about universal health care. You are talking about the us health proposal. I agree with you that the currently proposed us health reform is awful and not going to fix anything. But your fights with everyone here are...

Good lord, reading Shoveler's posts makes me feel hopeless about any hopes for America. I just want to say thanks Shoveler. I plan on using your writing as evidence at dinner conversations when people talk about why health reform won't succeed in america.

For real, this health care bill had been bastardized so much, and still had litle likelihood of getting passed. This election didn't change that.

I feel you Cimmerian... I had Brian Westbrook as my second round pick so I know what you mean about F*** autodraft haha. After him and then Greg Jennings/Roddy White did crap this year, it just wasn't much fun for me.

I think they should make a rule that says you can swap a player who didn't even dress for the game for players who have yet to paly even after their game. I got screwed similar Universal last week cause of Kurt Warner and this week with the New Orleans kicker. It seems silly to be punished...
