Hillary isn't my favorite either, but in comparison with what the GOP has to offer I'd vote for a cardboard box labeled "Contains Democratic Presidential Candidate." (can't take the credit - I just read this in a comment after a story about Hillary)

Yes - my mistake. Rand, not Ron. As far as Carson, practically every comment I've heard him make is cringeworthy. You might think that a neurosurgeon would have a better grasp of history, not to mention science - but he is terrifyingly ignorant of these subjects. Do you really think it's...

Steve- Some or even most of your points are correct. I'm not a big Hillary fan. I would most like to see Michael Bloomberg run for Pres - but that idea does not seem to have occurred to Mike. When it comes to electing a candidate, it's not like you can pick anybody who ever lived - you have a...

I know it's traditional for an outgoing president to pardon his cronies but Mark Rich was an especially bad guy. And trashing the WH was inexcusable. All that aside - Hillary is our best choice right now - but there's a lot that could happen between now and Nov 2016. Sorry, Bernie should go...

Bernie goes on and on about it. I'd rather hear about inequality, though, than about why torture is just fine (Carson), putting nukes up Putin's behind (Carley Whatshername), or listen to that narcissistic ape (no citation needed).

Hillary doesn't pander to the left or the center. It may seem that way to some on the far right because she's a moderate. As she said - she has a range of views. Hillary did not present any grandiose schemes for free stuff. If you were watching carefully, you would have seen that was Bernie...

POTUS = President of the United States HRC = Hillary Rodham Clinton

It was a refreshing change to listen to the Democratic candidates debating. It seemed to me that in comparison to the narrow minded, parochial, and blustering Republicans, who would evade every question and instead spout their vitriol, the Democratic candidates were like adults who were setting...

It's Yiddish. Oy is short for oy vey which is short for oy veyz mir. Oy is also short for oy gevalt. It's an expression of dismay or disgust. You see?

What do you think? Are we, as a society, better off or worse off than we were when you were a child? I know that as a child, you can't evaluate things like social injustice or wealth inequality - so I know the question is a little skewed. But what is your impression? Here are some of my own...

Hi- The main thing I was going on about was correctly specifying the spreadsheet's location. As far as acImport and acExport - I just picked an example from my own code - I should have found an Import example but it works either way. Can you tell us exactly the error message you're getting? If...

It doesn't look to me that you have the correct specification for the Transfer Spreadsheet method. You have: DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, 10, _ "PymtElc", CustomerFile, True It seems to me that you're missing a required argument - the path to the spreadsheet. I don't believe that just...

A pun that does not elicit a groan is a pun wasted. On the other hand, the more obscure the better - although people may not know you're goofing. I do have what has been termed a "dry" sense of humor. And yeah - K is Potassium. I crack myself up - still laughing at that one

I am proud to say that I'm an accomplished punster from way back. And the more complex the better, involving not just words but phrases. And I like puns that I make up on the spur of the moment, and that fit the situation. If people don't immediatly even realize I'm making a pun, that's even...

I cant find a copy of Ben Bova's story but here is a pdf of The Star. Quite short - I just printed it so I can read the hard copy at my desk and pretend to be working. http://www.uni.edu/morgans/astro/course/TheStar.pdf As an aside, I got in this morning and everything was proceeding exactly...

Final edit (sure :)). Kept the Heaven, lost the laugh. Thanks Froth! I like it best this way.

Thanks ab!

Got that from a Twilight Zone. So I kept the twist but preferred not to plagiarize from the GREAT Rod Serling. Great last lines are not easy to think up. May change it yet again if I come up with something better. After all I have eternity to think about it.:)

Right. Edited.

I woke up at the usual time, the day after I died. Force of habit I guess, but I did have to get into work. I arrived there at around 7:00, just like always, and sat down at my desk. Same old junk on my desk, same old crap on my computer screen. Not knowing what else to do, I just did my usual...
