I’m really surprised some wingnut out there hasn’t hypothesized the whole WikiLeaks fiasco was orchestrated by the current administration in an effort to weaken both the United States and Hillary Clinton at the same time. Maybe some conspirotist out there has come up with that, but I haven’t heard it so far. Of course, that’s ridiculous. It would take a very high level of competency to pull something like that Read More ...
Ironman – The Inner Revolt and Busting Out – I think there’s even more to this. Part of it is convincing yourself that you are as tough as you’ve convinced everyone else you are. An Even Tougher Deficit Plan – Sounds good to me, except for the VAT Dr. Drew on Obamacare: ‘You will see a massive flight of physicians from the field’ – But he only plays a doctor Read More ...
This poor Brevard County inmate thinks so. “Like the old Chinese water torture, the inescapable sounds of these movies over and over works on nerves and psyche.” I’ve watched Smoky and the Bandit and Swingers too many times to count, so I can say from experience that kicking back on the couch memorizing dialog isn’t exactly the toughest thing someone can force you into. Maybe this guy should become more Read More ...
After reading this article on the USPS losing $8.5 B (yes, that’s $500 million AFTER THE DECIMAL PLACE!). With all the hyperbole over evil corporations, at least their management has to answer to shareholders…at least they have to answer to someone. I was talking about it with a couple of people on Twitter: Obviously, they aren’t huge fans. Come on…what’s a few billion amongst friends? But then I saw Read More ...
Just go back to the tried and true playbook and start calling federal employees “Fat Cats”. The number of federal workers earning $150,000 or more a year has soared tenfold in the past five years and doubled since President Obama took office, a USA TODAY analysis finds. … Since 2000, federal pay and benefits have increased 3% annually above inflation compared with 0.8% for private workers, according to the Bureau Read More ...
When shown the image above, the Governor also correctly identified it as “The Ace of Shovels” “I want people to be afraid not to talk about that Social Security is bankrupt and is a Ponzi scheme and if you’ve got a young 20-something-year-old, they know for a fact that they’re not ever going to see that,” he said.
What does IKEA mean to you? To me, it means flat packaging, easy to follow assembly instructions with pictures instead of words, and stuff that is so cool and affordable that I usually end up buying something I hadn’t planned on. Check out IKEA’s “Homemade is Best” baking book. Flat? check Easy instructions with no words, with beautiful photos by Carl Kleiner? Check So cool and (presumably) affordable that I’ll Read More ...
The newly announced monetization of debt…ERRRRR…devaluation of the currency…ERRRRR…quantitative easing announced by the Federal Reserve on Wednesday has many Americans confused and baffled. What does this really mean for us? After all “facts and science and argument does [sic] not seem to be winning the day” with the collection of hilljacks that is the American people. Maybe what we really need is an easy to understand analogy to explain in Read More ...
There’s a possibility we could be looking at two years scripted by Quentin Tarantino. Maybe the standard finger pointing that we’re used to seeing is about to be replaced by something far more complicated. Democrats have lost a lot of their Blue Dog numbers. I’ve actually read some people spinning this as the people in their districts were frustrated that they weren’t taking a “progressive enough” stance. If you really Read More ...
