The Electoral College actually grants -more- power to small states. States with a low population are given a disproportionately large number of electoral votes -compared with thier populations-. The Republican party often gets nearly all of the small states, an important reason Bush lost the popula...

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/president/ And this page lets you pick a state and see Bush and Kerry strengths by county. As an LJ friend of mine pointed out, almost every Democratic-majority county was either home to a major city, a neighbor of a major city, or home to a college to...

Let's all write-in Allen Ecker as the next president. I mean, a houseplant would be better than Bush, and Allen's at least twice as good as a houseplant. ...And I'm going to run my ficus (a fern). Actually, a ficus is a fig, as in those fruits they make Fig Newton's out of. :D And Allan is at least...

And this is unusual, how?

To be specific, we're getting off-off-off topic here.

Yup. Most "content providers" like artists tend to understand my point. Up here, the basic division is distribution. If I record from a broadcast in order to timeshift and play it later, it's generally considered fair use. If I take the tape over to my friend's to play it, it's iffy. If I lend the t...

27 Minutes, including making a decision on how to do speech baloons.

That's legible, intelligible and I can read Saundra's expressions. Seems ok to me.

vcr? bittorrent, my good bear. 1. Can't. Current configuration of this computer isn't stable enough to add it, and I don't feel like doing a re-install or buying XP right now. 2. Won't. I don't believe there are any copies available that don't violate copyright. Also, never installed kazaa, gnutell...

I taped it Tuesday*, and just got to see it tonight, so now I know of the humourous goodness of which you speak! Now I must see the previous episodes and get the VCR so it will tape the extravaganza each week.

And why do I sound like Roy?

* Global Network for any of the Canadians out there.

Rule 22: Get the writers to give you a regular job every episode, like getting the manifest signed or operating the docking bay. You're less likely to become red shirt #2 if they're used to writing. "Cycle the air lock, Smithers."

Honestly, that might be a bit far down the scale. If I remember correctly, a regular strip was an hour our two?

What's a 15 minute strip look like?

I got one word for you:
Chaffing.

maximuscoolman wrote:... *blank*

*confused*

I think he means chafing.

Of the skin.

From constant friction.

Or something like that.

"You have much to learn, padewan."

But seriously, sex is great. Sex with emotional attraction is tremendous. Sex with love is unbelievable.

Cross referenced here.

That's him. Star of Torch Song Trilogy.

If you substitute "queer" for furry, it's an old arguement. Publicity, acknowledgement, normalization, possibly protection vs. notoriety, easy targeting, possible harassment. If being official affords some protection for your members, use of space, posters from being torn down, then it might be wort...

Edit: Nope, still a liutenant, I wonder how many posts until the next rank. My guess would be that 500 is the threshold, since Wolffur is still a lieutenant at 425 and hampsteracolyte is a lieutenant commander with over 600. Alfie's a Commander with just over 1000 and Allan is still a Commander wit...

I'm currently reading Eats, Shoots & Leaves: the Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation by Lynne Truss. Highly recommended for word geeks. I've described it as "hilariously educational". Ms. Truss would recommend a semi-colon for Zavion's sentence, or maybe a colon. She would also be impressed by th...

Currently, many children with 2 parents of the same sex use those types of distinctions. I know of a pair of lesbian parents who are "Mum" and "Mama".

And like some of the popular press, totally ignoring basic facts for the catchy story....
