Everyone deserves some measure of our compassion - even poor souls like Ann Coulter. Get well soon, Ann.

This is the third forum I'm on where someone posted this video. I'd just as soon let her fade into the sunset . I've heard her mentioned as a potential Republican presidential nominee in 2012, being that she relates so well to the Republican base. I welcome her candidacy. I suggest a simple campaig...

. . . The reason the "losing side" is crying foul is because of the methods used by the pro side. They were funded by the Mormon and Catholic churches to spread lies and manipulate their followers into voting the way the church decreed. Churches are not allowed to fund propositions...how ...

I think Obama is much more inclined than, say George W. Bush, to work with folks who hold different views than his. I think we will witness this in the years to come and I don't think centrist Republicans will have much to complain about. On the other hand, I don't see Obama 'reaching out' to those ...

I won't be judging the success of Obama's presidency by how many Republicans he appoints to his administration. I don't think it is Obama's job to 'reach out' to a variety of folks who thought (and still think) that the country would go to 'hell in a handbasket' or worse because of an Obama presiden...

There is a small (let's be real - a VERY SMALL) but finite probability that when you fly on Quantas, you and your fellow passengers, along with the airplane itself, could instantaneously disappear in Sydney and reappear in Los Angeles, in much the same way that electrons change energy levels. the p...

Something must be wrong with the tally.

I voted 'very optimistic' but still see only 4 votes for that choice.

Can I ask for a recount when the poll closes?

I thought Quanta was that Australian airline. [smilie=noeyedear-shrugging.gif] Nah, that's Quantas and they are the only airline to not have a an accident. Or did they have one recently? So, if you fly on Quantas, are you in one large continuous plane or is it actually a series of unspeakably tiny ...

Re: Showing my ignorance:If light comes in "quanta"

...does all other energy come in "quanta", too? Einstein discovered/theorized that light, rather than just being a continuous wave, is actually composed of unspeakably tiny "packets" or "quanta" of light energy. This, of course, led to the quantum theory, and all the s...

Ralph Nader (remember HIM) told one of the Fox News anchors (his name escapes me for the moment) that Barack Obama must decide if he's going to be "Uncle Sam" or "Uncle Tom." :o And they say President Bush is divisive. This should bury Ralph's dumb a$$ once and for all. Unfortun...

The popular vote is still pretty close, but the electoral votes are a runaway. I wonder what the largest popular vote margin ever was? As you said, it's going to be pretty close tonight, as the last several have been. It would either be the 1972 or 1984 elections that had the biggest margin of vict...
