I have got to get into the habit of little posts throughout the week. Today’s items are a little mind-blowing.
On Taxes and Debt: Two graphs.
On Inflation: Core rate is crazy.
Explains the Popularity of Certain People: Most people just don’t read books.
I wonder if they’ll remember this come fall: Americans want to nearly double fuel efficiency standards.
Danger, Mistress: Alert the Doctor, Sarah Jane has been traveling solo.
Sadly, probably not a world record: One man eats 25,000 Bic Macs over 13,800 days. I feel bloated just thinking about it.
Speaking of bloating: 513 illegal immigrants in 2 trucks.
Sure, that’s your money, but you can’t have it! You’d just spend it on food and shelter: The Senate wants to “save” you from spending your own 401k funds in an emergency.
Record Used Car Prices: and it’s not just “Cash for Clunkers” that got us here, but the recession and Japan’s earthquake/tsunami issues.
“Banks Say Simpler Mortgage Form Could ‘Stifle’ New Products”: by “stifle“, they mean “make it harder to trick you into getting a mortgage that will gradually strangle your finances.”
On living within your means: If it weren’t for credit cards, the American economy would suck even worse.
On Bid Laden’s Security: It involved about 100 flash drives.
Millenials Have No Clue: They think that they are precious snowflakes that deserve jobs, despite reality.
If you’re going to be out of town for a while, make sure somebody is watching your place: you never know when somebody might set up a brothel inside.
Reid Dares Them: Yeah, go ahead and vote to gut Medicare. Do it. I dare you.
Huh?: Obama says Israel needs to go back to its 1967 borders and like it?? Oy, that will put some people in a tizzy.
Here’s a Hint, Janet: Stop treating us all like criminals. Enough with the nudie scanners. Enough with the probulators. Enough with confiscating our water bottles while letting real threats through. Enough with the Do Not Fly list and other shit that doesn’t keep us safe.
That is all.
