    The withdrawals began in earnest earlier this month, after a presidential advisory commission on election integrity requested publicly available voter information from all 50 states.

    The 3,394 cancellations represent a vanishingly small percentage of the electorate — 0.09 percent of the state’s 3.7 million registered voters. But the figure is striking nonetheless, with some county election officials reporting that they’ve never seen anything quite like it in their careers.

    Want the president. Looking for ssn?  Maybe some folks want their privacy

    Now there are some beers worth checking, but I know when I travel, I always like to sample the local fare.  In addition, I simply refuse to drink beer out of a can, yes, I am a beer snob, so I would imagine the airlines would not check any beer for me.  I love that the world is moving to more craft style beers, and there are a lot of varieties to sample.

     

    Beyond that, this story coming from Downunder reminds me of a humorous story during one of my visits.  My nephew and I went down on on vacation and he a beer snob like myself asked the proprietor of a local pub which beer we should try.  This guy was very nice and we got a lot of history of Aussie beer.  He suggested a nice Coopers pale ale which was very good, but one thing we did find out is that Fosters is considered urine by those in Australia (probably why they send it to the US) so whenever I see one of those commercials that tout "Fosters, Australian for Beer", I always chuckle.

    Guiness in a Can sounds sacrilegious but with the internal widget it comes the closest to a Dublin Tap

    It's not difficult. Living in multiple countries should give a big clue..

     

    When Americans commit crimes, even crimes considered non-violent, it often tends to accompany violence in general. For example, burglary. In Canada, people tend to just steal things and go away. In the US, the likelihood of committing violent acts upon someone when breaking into their place is significantly higher.

     

    Thus, the need for self defense is that much greater. At very minimum, I'd be very thankful the US has a second amendment. Many countries with similar levels of violence don't even have that right to defend themselves with lethal force without someone already putting a gun to their head.

     You say its not difficult, but why the act of Terrorism against Gabrielle Giffords?

    This is not an accurate comparison. When someone buys a house they take ownership of it and responsibility for upkeep. How can you say republicans took "ownership" of Obamacare when they didn't vote for it, didn't endorse it and didn't agree to "maintain" it. The Obamacare situation is more like democrats building a rickety house then abandoning it and saying their neighbor (republicans) is responsible for its upkeep. By the way Obamacare took years to pass and it could take years to repeal and fix the damage done by it.

     

    It is not a fallacy. The numbers show that statement to be completely true. Furthermore I have personally seen my premiums triple and the quality of the plan go down at the same time. I even had a couple years when I couldn't afford the premium and paying several thousand dollars in tax penalties was a better option for me. I have not talked to a single person who has not seen their premiums at least double along with higher deductibles and less coverage. As I have said before the amount of people who have health insurance is not an accurate measurement of the success or failure of health care legislation. Cost and quality of care are more important metrics that are ignored by both sides.

     

    As an example my wife is pregnant and we paid $300 (out of our own pocket because we haven't met our deductable yet) to see a specialist for no more than 5 minutes and answer a few questions for him. That was after the discount the insurance company got us. One time I got something in my eye and they billed me $400 just to read an eye chart. Health care costs are out of control and it is that way because everyone is worried about how many people have insurance regardless of how expensive it is or how high the deductibles are and no one seems to care about doctors and hospitals price gouging everything you could imagine.

    Is your wife and child healthy?

    Hello, I have an EB-2 in process with a Priority date of March 2.  Do you need me to complete this spreadsheet? Many of the columns do not seem to apply for E visas.
