Now, to the extent I understand the rant, the idea is that "reprinting" campaign info or linking to it constitutes a "contribution in kind" and thus comes under the contribution limitations. But the usual remedy for exceeding the limitations is for the campaign to send the excess money back to the contributor. So if a blog were to "accidentally" reprint too much of, say, the Cheney '08 campaign's material, wouldn't the first result being the Cheney campaign having to cut a check to that blogger?
I don't have any direct experience (yet), but the Wall Street Journal pointed out EverBank as a bank offering foreign-currency accounts and CDs for Americans.
I don't seem to be able to get up much indignation around this. Maybe I wore off on the word "moral" when I argued with too many Objectivists back in the '70s; they also had the habit, inherited from Ayn, of labeling everything they didn't like (taxes, no-smoking areas, rock and roll) as "immoral".
I can see that it's disgusting that the supposedly-independent "media" parrot the Republican party line on what's "moral", but the word "moral" just seems to be as burnt out as the word "fascist" to me. I suppose the trouble is it still has weight for a lot of people.
Like Salon credited it, it's an AP story, you can find it on lots of other sites with a Google News search. Can't really fault Salon just for feeding it to us.
James: really wish I'd seen Clarke's testimony
C-SPAN will stream it to you if you've got enough bandwidth and their server's not too busy.. www.c-span.org and look in the "most watched video" box.
At least when this medium Goes Bad your hands aren't stained black by mimeo ink...
There's certainly another, clearer, reference to homosexuality in the New Testament: Romans 1:18-32. Though when I read it now, it seems that Paul is saying that certain (unspecified) evildoers were cursed by God with homosexuality, not that they were evil because they were homosexuals.
Here's a Bible Gateway link to save everybody Googling it up themselves.
It's beyond the bounds of credulity, however, that an Iraqi reactor would have cylinders labled in English
Not at all -- back during the active part of the war, there were lots of pictures of Iraqi freeway signs, which are in both English and Arabic. (I've never been to Iraq, but I've been to Saudi Arabia, and it's the same there.)
How big before it gets unsafe? What do you mean? It's not going to blow up on it's own
Blow up, no, but if it's enriched enough it can start a chain reaction in the presence of a moderator -- like water. (That's how those Japanese nuclear plant refuelers cooked themselves back in 1999.) No explosion, but buckets of hard radiation and some really nasty fission products left over.
I just spent some time reading the eBay policy. The only bits law enforcement can get without a subpoena that a buyer can't get are the second phone number, fax number, "personal or business" and password. It's annoying that eBay even keeps the password in clear, and it means that lots of the other info eBay has but only turns over on subpoena can leak out by just logging in and reading the profile.
