The Ex-Pat Act

It seems that every week brings some stupid/repulsive piece of legislation out of the Democratic “leadership”. A few weeks ago, it was the repellent People’s Rights Amendment. Then last week, it was the Trayvon Amendment. And now, it’s the Ex-Patriot Act:

Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin has gone ahead and given up his U.S. citizenship before the social network’s IPO, thereby saving an estimated $67 million in taxes, and personally pissing off our nation’s leaders.

Was it worth it?

I thought that this story was humorous as hell. Some old guy calls 9-1-1 and proceeds to talk dirty to operators. No mention if it was female, male, or something-else-gendered operators. We can speculate on the reasons he did this. Maybe he wanted to get something for all those years of paying taxes, that is, if he paid any taxes. Or maybe he figured calling a sex line and paying what ever it costs per … Read more

The Worst Person in the World

(Note: I’ve sat on this post for a couple of days, waiting for more details. The allegation is so horrible, I can’t believe it. But no more details have emerged.)

OK, time for something all of us can agree on. If what is alleged in this lawsuit is true, there’s a woman in New York who needs to be flogged through the streets:

A “kind and generous’’ Long Island mom donated a kidney to save

Lesson of the day..

Ineptocracy –
(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

If you still doubt that’s where we are at after the last 3 years and the gloabl revelations of the disfunctional nanny … Read more

I wish this was a joke..

I thought that this story was a hoax of some kind. A law to let you bang your dead wife up to 6 hours after she is dead? Seriously? Unfortunately it is not April 1st anymore, and I can not find a cultural equivalent in the region this comes from that would clarify this is a spoof. But considering the other crazy shit it is paired with, I am inclined to believe this is for … Read more

The Friend Zone

It’s been fun the last few days being somewhat off the grid. But I’ll ease back into things before I go for the heavy shit. This video circulated about a week ago and I’m guessing the heavy (if not entirely) male tilt of our audience will make this a well-discussed video.

While the video is tongue-in-cheek, I think the gist is right, especially for young guys who have yet to learn that once you’re friends … Read more

iphone Help

I put it off as long as I could but the day of reckoning has arrived.

I think everyone pretty much knows that I am the dinosaur of the group, a baby boomer who is on the descending side of that bell curve. Although there is a definite advantage to being old-er (no commute to work for me, no worries about providing for my family, don’t have to suck in my gut when a pretty … Read more

Uplift of the Day

Don’t ask. Just go. And feel better about life.

Shut up already!

WTF? Why are these morons demanding Obama return his peace prize, anyway? Are Hoekstra, and Paul, who recently said much of the same, insane? Why do they want to ruin a great thing? Why are they blaming Obama for the actions of a bunch of political partisan America & BooshChimpyMcHitler hating hacks? So what that these idiots gave him a peace prize to spite Bush and America in general? That’s not the Organizer-in-Chief’s fault! … Read more

Story hits home for me

I could not help but recall a similar incident that happened a long time ago, more than 2 decades, when I read this story about a man butchering a cow in his driveway. My brother-in-law, on the way to a Christmas party at my house – well the house my wife & I were renting back then in East Hartford – came upon a lady that had hit this huge buck with her car. … Read more
