Sometimes you really have to stop and enjoy the great things in life that bring you happiness. Easy to peel tangerines, sweet with no seeds!

Not to be too pessimistic, but even if I manage to keep this job, stagflation and higher taxes are going to make me feel pretty darned poor.

I'd actually be interested to see the statistics on whether being diagnosed with schizophrenia actually significantly increases the probability of perpetrating a violent crime, or if it just that certain memorable crimes get perpetrated by mentally I'll individuals, and so we infer that it actually increases the probability of violence.

I can hardly believe how many companies I just assumed are American, actually run by FIAT. http://ping.fm/kLT7c International Harvester!

What if every time you sold a snack called churros in the U.S. you had to pay royalties to Sunbeam bread, simply because they were 1st to ©?

It makes as much sense to blame these deranged actions on vitriolic speech, right or left, as it does to call this tragedy "jew on jew violence" And I'm with the father of murdered little girl on this, when I say that it's also crazy to try to use this as an excuse to legislate new limits on sane people's freedoms. It's sad that law enforcement failed to prevent this, but it's just that: sad. Can you blame government officials when they can't seem to sufficiently do the few tasks that they actually are supposed to be responsible for doing, or for failing to enforce the few gun controls that everybody actually agrees should be in place, and then want to deflect the conversation away from their failures?
I guess you just have to remember when you vote next time, do you reward the clown who can't seem to juggle the balls they've got in the air right now, with a couple other apples and oranges to try and juggle too?

What is IRPF? It's the reason that, despite a holiday bonus, my end of December take-home was a less than normal at €1100. IRPF tax of €589

Dear Eva, This is you.

If alien spacecraft were in our atmosphere and underwater, but with cloaking devices, how would we detect them? Birds and fish hitting them?
