What’s a little debt between taxpayers?

March 21, 2009 1 Comment

A friend sent this to me in an email and I was floored… All this talk about “stimulus packages” and”bailouts”… A billion dollars… A hundred billion dollars… Eight hundred billion dollars… One TRILLION dollars… What does that look like? It’s so much money that I can’t even comprehend that prefix… So, to provide some scale […]

I’d like a Xanax Martini please.

I woke up yesterday morning, excited about the day. I was going to do 3 fun things for ME! ME!! (9:30) – In the morning I was meeting a girlfriend for coffee (with Grant along for the ride, but that’s no problem because each of them like each other more than they like me… I […]

I get it. Times are tough. Businesses are looking for ways to cut back, to save money. What used to be free to consumers now comes with a fee. I suggest the folks at Irish airline Ryanair do a serious cost/benefit analysis before implementing their plan to make passengers pay to use the on board […]

Your marketing plan? Not so good.

(click on photo for a better view) Really? A yard for sale? Will they deliver…? Is the house included, or is it just the yard…? Will they divide it up if I just want the plants and trees…? I am starting to wonder if this particular corner is the Bermuda Triangle of handmade signs. (This […]

A loaf of bread, a bottle of milk, and a pound of common sense… Oops, we’re fresh out of that.

Are we in a recession? I’d say yes. Are things tough all over? Unless you’re Paris Hilton, I’d say yes. (Although Paris has a set of problems that none of us will ever have to deal with, thank you God.) Are people losing their jobs, tightening their belts and wondering how they’re going to make […]

My brother-in-law (the former cheerleader & current advocate for more Bring It On movies) sent me this, taken from a Florida newspaper. This guy turns “mangia!” into an order. I thought it was hysterical! (Um, in an assault & battery kind of way…)   A Florida man got a side of assault with his calzone […]

Dear Uncle Jayson. Again.

Criticism is part of life. I expect it. I yap about whatever I want to on this blog and I figure most people a) don’t read it; b) could care less; or, c) agree with me. Sometimes it is the person doing the criticizing that is a surprise…. I am being criticized by my (big, […]

Hitler needs a haircut. And the First Amendment.

New Jersey state officials have taken the kids named after Nazis out of their parents’ care. Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy State authorities don’t say why the kids were removed from the house. I think these parents are scum and total idiots. I wouldn’t let them take care […]

Willard Scott isn’t half as crazy as the people who keep him on the air.

Rich and I have a Friday night guilty pleasure: The Soup with Joel McHale on the E channel. If you’ve never watched it (you should!) it is 30 minutes of clips from reality shows, talk shows, soap operas, you name it. It is a show that basically makes fun of pop culture and all of […]

Happy birthday, dear Hitler….

What!? Shocked? Not as shocking as an idiot couple in PA who named their son Adolf Hitler Campbell.They are mad because the local supermarket bakery would not put the child’s entire name on the cake. Ultimately, good ole Wal-Mart came to the rescue and Lil’ Hitler got his cake. Why would you name a child […]
