I can't complain, but sometimes I still do... It feels like I'm living in a dryer vent, and instead of fabric softener they've used a squid.

Why do people take words that already mean something, and then not use them according to their meaning? "State Capitalism" "Crony Capitalism

A guy told me the well produced Top Gear is kind of like a British way to keep a good sense of humor about being stuck driving French cars.

if you want to see for yourself, goto

Sarah Bolton thinks that asking ICE to do a better job at what it's supposed to, is an "undue burden." Pentagon loses 8.7B of Iraqi's cash.

Things I learned on the internet today. For free:

http://ping.fm/nwF8f

"Soviet" basically meant "community council" in Russian.
These were used as a blind while creating the Russian terror-state.
"Terrorism and Communism" was written by Trotsky.
Trotsky and Lenin were monsters like unto Che, Stalin, Mao and Hitler,


This same terror machine was turned against one of its architects in 1940, when Stalin sent the Spaniard (George Orwell's Spanish-tutor in Barcelona)
Ramon Mercadera, (accompanied by his mom,) to smash in Trotsky's skull with a pick-axe in Mexico.

Trotsky died a day after the attack.
Mercadera was convicted in a trial in 1940, ten years later fingerprint evidence was able to confirm it was him, and then in 1960 he was let free.
(Well, he was moved from prison in Mexico to Cuba - where he was greeted as a hero, and within a year was back in Moscow, again, their hero.)

Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera could have made it in Jerry Springer.



"People" and "Republic" tend to lose their meaning among certain people (who have no use for them.)


What we call "Nam" was also the "Second Indochina War"

"One point that neither the Americans nor the French seemed to grasp, was the concept of sanctuary. As long as the revolutionaries who are fighting a guerilla war have a sanctuary, in which they can hide out, recoup after losses, and store supplies, it is almost impossible for any foreign enemy to ever destroy them."

What should you do when you buy watermelon, and no part of it even tastes good but the last one looked and cost the same but was to die for?

Autistic Girl Expresses Profound Intelligence

My wife, who had only sat through one other episode of Psych, literally asked me why my hair isn't like that, and didn't get why I laughed.

Didn't Sherrie Sherrod get it right about the haves & have nots? The gap between the haz a government job & the do not haz is still growing.

Just discovered the Twitter "mentions" tab. I had no idea that people have been responding to my stupid blurbs for nearly 2 years. Sorry.

http://bit.ly/a0MEZ1 It's precisely this type of partisan perfidy for the very principles of journalism that's putting them out of business.

Think it's not in the cards for the TEA Party to revert the Republican Party back to an actual alternative to the Democrat Party?

I may not care whether or not Spain is still Spain without Catalonia, but I can still rabble-rouse: There's no such thing as "noble birth."

U.S. Intelligence on Cuba; Consistently Wrong

How sad... the best paying offer on the local job board also lists that I am too old to apply. Who wants to be a flight attendant anyways?

learned from public education: it's never ok to ridicule someone for what they believe in; just people who actually do believe in something.

I don't dislike people simply for being smarter than me anymore, just the way they go about it.

Maybe Americans pay so outrageously much on household appliances because they spend a smaller percentage of their income on housing itself.

Did Mexico racially profile middle-eastern terrorists in Tijuana? If you ran a newspaper, would you give up the 1st Amendment for a judge?

is trying to imagine a world where his neighbors said, "Why do you get so worked up, Red?" and TJ says, "You're right, things aren't so bad"

How can a non-compressable fluid, that's less dense than water, come up from beneath the rocks, below the water? Also, how can pumice float?

Animal behavior question: Why does my yorkie prop his teddybear up in the doorway to the balcony before he goes in the other room to sleep?

If the federal government chooses to try the whole amnesty thing again, my wife and I demand a refund. With interest.

11 Reasons to Vote for Democrats in November

Repeating the lie that the Arizona law doesn't make racial profile illegal only makes the liar sound all the more pathetic.
