Every time I hear somebody claim that redistributing wealth, punishing producers and rewarding inactivity is the path to prosperity and riches, I always want to extend the idea. Since we can tax and spend our way to fabulous wealth, why don't we go do it? Screw this 99 week thing, how about...

One wonders if WikiLeaks has jumped the shark. Guess we'll find out.

Exactly. There is an endless stream of lottery winners who go broke. Sooner or later you'd think that anybody who gets a big chunk of cash would have retention as their primary concern. I mean, how many stories does one need to read before one thinks "JFC, all these other guys went broke. I...

Shirley, he will be missed. :(

If California is such a damn hotspot of economic activity, how come they pay people in IOUs? You can dance around the numbers all you'd like, but income is a lot less than expenditures for this state and they have not been able to either cut spending or raise income. You could have every...

The other day I was driving home from the grocery store and going fast enough to not pay attention to my rear view mirror - until the cop fired up his siren. We pulled over and he approached my window. "Why didn't you stop when I lit up my lights?" He asked. "Well, my wife ran off with a...

to declare some speech illegal. And people thought Bush was dumb.

Yeah, except they didn't even say that this time. AFAIK, anyway.

They neglected to mention some sort of rose colored glasses viewpoint like "We anticipate the economy will go into super nuclear hyperdrive and remain poised to squash inflation like a bug when it shows up"? No roses from the Fed? Uh oh.

What happened when QE1 didn't work? QE2.

Anybody that thinks the republicans or the democrats are actually going to reduce the size of the federal government have drunk too much tea (from Long Island). Republicans want more government too, just not as much as the democrats. Oh sure, we'll get some potential cuts waved around in the...

The New York Slimes would like us all to stop taking showers and wearing deodorant. Remember those libtards from a few years ago who wanted everyone to use just one sheet of toilet paper? The rest at http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/31/fashion/31Unwashed.html?_r=5&pagewanted=all No...

Yesterday we were in a *$ talking about women. I said I like my women like I like my coffee - ground up and in the freezer.

The other day I stopped at WalMart and bought a bird feeder and a couple boxes of rat poison. The cashier didn't even blink.

Answer on Friday.

More than tripled? One hopes you are more careful with your position prices and sizes than you are with population facts. US pop in 1930: 122,775,046 US pop in 1940: 132,164,569 US pop in 2000: 281,421,906 US pop in 2010: 307,006,550 (est) More than doubled, would be apt. Yet...
