Two drug task forces fighting over who gets the best spots! — Tam
It’s all just a world of private mercenary armies, now…. Story and video here.
Perhaps it always was this way; it’s just that in tough times, the wool’s too dear to cover the sheeple’s eyes. And there ain’t no sheepdogs no more.
More evidence that the Occupiers aren’t the poor & downtrodden.
But more to the point, if you own a $795,000 one-bedroom apartment that you are eventually likely to pay off, you own a very expensive asset far beyond what most ordinary Americans could ever hope to accumulate. Â You can sell that place and move to a red state and live very well, any time you want. Â Most red-staters can’t do the reverse.
After all, to state the obvious, that apartment costs so much because many, many people want to live in New York. Â And no matter what the song told you, it is not actually true that all of the best things in life are free. Â Living a subway ride away from all that New York has to offer is really great, and also, really pricey. Â Which is one reason that I don’t live there any more.
Living in a blue state is a choice. Â If coming to New York meant that you had to put four people in a three bedroom apartment that’s uncomfortably far from a subway line, instead of buying a nice little condo in Omaha, this does not mean that you are not “really” better off than your counterpart in Omaha; it means that you have chosen to consume your extra wealth in the form of “living in New York” rather than in the form of spacious real estate, cheap groceries, and an easy commute.
It is to ride,
On a big wheel through a haunted hotel, hey!
More proof that there is no such thing as a “trusted information source”.
But it should be.
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.
After careful study of mugshots, it has been determined that the following mustaches are predictive of criminal intent.
What?! Â It’s as good as any other method to predict criminal intent.
Can I still rail against crony capitalism, though?
Bunch of Farmers Market types are having a party/feast. Â Local tyrant decides to be an ass. Problem solved when a legal defense group tells them, “Come back with a warrant”.
Our soon-to-be-son-in-law is missing Thanksgiving this year because he’ll be on a spiritual exploration with his shaman in the wilds of Mexico. I don’t know the details but I’m guessing it’s very Carlos Castaneda. Anyway, daughter will be joining us for turkey day, but she’ll still be fasting, as one of the requirements is that his significant other/soulmate participate in the fasting, despite being thousands of miles apart. The key part of the fast is no salt intake. No big deal, right?
The other part, we just learned, is no bathing.
They started fasting tonight.
Thanksgiving’s in what, three weeks?
You can stop laughing now. Really. Not funny.

In case it does go down the memory hole, here it is:
Although the ability to submit petitions directly to the White House is a noble and welcome new feature of the current administration, the first round of responses makes blatantly clear the White House intends to just support its current stances and explain them with responses everyone who has done any research already knows.
An online petition is not meant as a replacement for using a search box in a web browser. We the People, those who grant you the power to govern in the first place, are requesting changes in policy directly, circumventing legislators who already do not listen to us. We the People request you govern FOR us, which means actually listening to us and actually acting in our interests instead of special interests.
You are not above us. You ARE us. Govern accordingly.
