But does not support "across the aisle" cooperation, which is where the concern is.

I disagree. Many bills are written with compromises in place, so they appeal to enough voters. I would rank the American ACA bill as E on the A to G scale.

"On Exactitude in Science" is a one-paragraph story written Jorge Luis Borges.

I was rather unimpressed with the test as well as the graphs. I scored myself low in every category because I find it hard to rate any one aspect high. I'm paraphrasing: How important are explosions? How important is competition? How important is exploring?

I can't rate any of these things high, in and of themselves. It requires a well balanced mix of things to make a great game. Breaking everything down to individual components makes it seem I am much less engaged in games than I am.

You said NPR is "omitting the certain fact that Ervine paid this "friend" tens of thousands of dollars", then offer no proof and say "This sort of thing is not reported". It's not really a certain fact then, is it? It's just your assumption.

Can you cite a source that Jeff Ervine paid for access to the FBI? An admittedly quick search didn't show anything making that claim.

Also, that URL redirect appears to be because "this person was only notable for one event." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Editor_assistance/Re...
