GUNS: Lady pulls out a gun because her coupon was rejected

You cannot make up crap like this.  A woman had a coupon rejected and it ended when she pulled out a gun on the store employees.  I am not feeling safer yet.  MORE GUNS MEANS MORE CRAZIES WITH GUNS TOO.

Rush Limbaugh denied service at a Mexican Restaurant - Rush was pissed

Rush Limbaugh Denied Service at Mexican Restaurant

Jan. 31, 2013

"Now you listen here you little f**king chihuahua, this is the United States of America, not some banana republic," Limbaugh bellowed. "I am an American citizen and I am hungry. I demand to be served.


"Actually sir, here in the United States, the freedom of association clause in our Constitution allows small business owners the right to refuse service under reasonable circumstances," the owner politely responded.
"Your ugly, racist views mean you're liable to cause a disturbance in my restaurant. And I simply can't have that. So you can take that outrage, put it in this ketchup bottle, shove it up your ass, and get off my property. Es su obligación."

I have been in a small village when a lot of planes came and went.  It is a pretty exciting time for a little village.  When I was in the village, we had a weekend with a big funeral and a basketball tournament so the town was packed.  We also had a blizzard so people could not get out of town for 3 extra days.  We also had tons of snow mobiles.  It would not be a good thing for dogs to sleep.  I am sure the dogs are used to quiet which is not the case with planes and snow machines moving all over.

John Lewis gets an apology from a Southern Police Chief

Representative John Lewis, Dem, was part of the freedom riders back in the 60's and was attacked by whites at various times.  A police chief apologized to him because the police force intentionally stayed away so the freedom riders could be attacked.

We need more of these kinds of moments.  We need to be honest about our past and make a future which is better for all.

4 year old falls 3 stories and lands on feet

This little boy was so lucky.  I knew a boy who fell 2 stories and landed on his head.  I got to be his teacher one year.  He was a great boy who would go into emotional rants and cry a lot.  It was explained to me that the behaviors were because of the TBI. (Traumatic Brain Injury caused by the fall)

Corporate Profits are up but Wages are flat and no new jobs.

Profits are ever increasing but the poor working guy is lucky to get a job and his wages are not going up.

 With millions still out of work, companies face little pressure to raise salaries, while productivity gains allow them to increase sales without adding workers.

“So far in this recovery, corporations have captured an unusually high share of the income gains,” said Ethan Harris, co-head of global economics at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. “The U.S. corporate sector is in a lot better health than the overall economy. And until we get a full recovery in the labor market, this will persist.”

Even Republicans don't like Republican policies

Business Insider magazine recently polled a group of registered voters, asking them for their preferences on three different Congressional plans that have been floated to help the nation avoid damage from the sequester.
The poll found that when the voters didn't know which plan was whose, the policies that most voters preferred were those offered up by the Progressives Caucus in the House of Representatives.
More than half of those polled favored “The Balancing Act” plan, proposed by the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Shockingly, 47 percent of Republicans polled preferred the House Progressive approach, instead of the across the board cuts proposed by Republican Congressional leaders.

Taking away the Voting Rights Act will be met with a backlash

The Republicans are pushing trying to get rid of the Voting Rights Act.

If this is what they are thinking, they are making a monumental mistake. The right to vote is not cherished by African Americans alone, and the attack on that right has not been launched against African Americans alone. Over the past two years, Latinos, Asians, students, the disabled have all experienced first hand what these attacks look like. We have seen the lines, we have seen the intimidation, and we have seen the attempt to suppress the vote. Minorities answered all of that - by voting in overwhelming numbers, by standing in day-long lines, and by making our voices hard. The GOP's attempt to suppress the vote backfired.

Idiologically Similar?

Just think about it.  It is tongue in cheek but then...

  Just to be clear about a couple of things:  I'm not suggesting an equivalency between our religious and political lunatics and those who belong to Al Qaeda.  Nor am I saying that belonging to the Republican Party makes you an intolerant bigot capable of terrorist acts.  I'm just saying that people are often judged by the company they keep, and in this regard, Al Qaeda has some domestic company who share that organization's disgust with same-sex marriage and gay rights.

            If you belong to the Republican Party or send money to Pat Robertson or his ilk, you might want to reconsider who you're standing with on this issue.

            And if you belong to Al Qaeda you might want to do the same thing.  Do you really want to be seen in the same light as Republican evangelicals?

Boehner's misleadingly claims Tax Revenue at a Record High - WRONG!

Boehner is just plain wrong!

Now, the $2.7 trillion in fiscal year 2013 revenue recently forecast by the Congressional Budget Office is, by a small margin, Uncle Sam's largest haul when measured in current dollars. But as a percentage of the total American economy (see chart above), federal tax revenues remain well below historical averages.

The handy CBO chart paints a pretty clear picture of Boehner's whitewashing. At less than 17 percent of U.S. GDP, federal revenue for FY 2013 is near historically lows. But that is an improvement over 2010, when the disastrous recession combined with the continuing drain from the Bush tax cuts slashed federal receipts to the 15 percent level not seen since the early 1950's. Meanwhile, the costs of two wars, emergency recovery measures including TARP and the stimulus, and counter-cyclical demand for food stamps, unemployment benefits and health care pushed Washington's spending to levels not seen since Ronald Reagan's first term. (It's worth noting that federal spending is almost flat since Barack Obama first took the oath of office, while the annual deficit has declined.) Contrary to Republican mythology that "tax cuts pay for themselves," it took five years for the Treasury to recover from the Bush tax cuts of 2001.
