Why did you just talk in the third person...?
Seemed like a good idea at the time.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I am pretty sure Bernie would gladly use Executive Orders if it meant getting his ideals through. Socialism doesn't exactly work off of lowering govt power.

Certainly, but he'd also happily screw everything if Congress mucked up those ideals enough.

Are you kidding me? Bernie would probably be the least likely to do that. Rand Paul is probably the one to do that with his whole "I want a government so small I can barely see it" thing.

Looking at what I read about him once, he seems a bit more pragmatic than his platform necessarily implies.  So yeah, crashing everything to make a point seems unlikely.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

This. If you're casting Sanders as a wild-eyed revolutionary, you're not paying attention. He's the sort who has his ideals but isn't foolish enough to think he can make them into policy word-for-word.

Just this once, I want to see a presidential candidate run under this policy:
1) re-evaluate the mandate for all prior orders, and dismantle as appropriate.

The republican candidates already vow to do this. Though they want to reverse ALL of them rather than consider individual orders.

Ben Carson rings in the New Year with the surprise resignations of two of his top aides.

Three of them actually. Basically a major campaign shakeup going on over there.

I'm surprised the commentators haven't mentioned it on air yet.

Nhehe. Also, the Carson train keeps divebombing, and though my schadenfreude knows no bounds, the voters Trump is gaining infuriate me.
