    Term limits lead to senioritis and inexperience.

    No term limits leads to corruption and cronyism.


    Fuck it. Let's make running for, or being in, political office a capital offense.

    Can we compromise on only electing lizards?

    People always vote for the wrong lizard, therefore we should simply cut out the middleman and kill all the people.

    What about half-lizard hybrids?

    After the uprising of the 17th of June
    The Secretary of the Writers Union
    Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee
    Stating that the people
    Had forfeited the confidence of the government
    And could win it back only
    By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier
    In that case for the government
    To dissolve the people
    And elect another?

    The problem with our government is the lack of a good post release support team to patch. The guys who wrote this buggy piece of shit just up and disappeared.

    Why am I paying all these fees when those chucklefucks have managed like twenty patches in two and a half centuries

    Lazy ass dev team can't even patch fuckin obviously broken builds.

    To avoid duplication of threads, I am resurrecting this one. Arise!

    How I long to see this go to trial:

    "California man says he can drive in carpool lane with corporation papers"
    http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/201...drive-in-carpool-lane-with-corporation-papers

    As the article concludes, sadly, the most likely outcome is that the officer will fail to appear at the hearing, leading to a dismissal.

    Also,
    Never been more happy to be wrong! (of course she's just one voice...)

    The part I like is that he has been doing this in hopes of getting stopped for 10 years. And here I've been terrified of getting a ticket if I so much as use a HOV to pass.
