Logic & intellect is
no longer reasonable...

What a Hoot! CIA Clears Itself Of Snooping On Senate Computers Yahoo I suspect the Senate won't have much to say on the subject…

Now this is funny! A Boston.com associate editor wrote that Boehner’s “pickled liver could have filtered out the toxins” in reference to a bartender’s death threat by poisoning. Proper amends were made as the editor was fired and the chief executive of the website sent an apology to Boehner’s office.

I thought it comical that the President was calling for new laws to bolster cybersecurity at the same time they hacked the U.S. Central Command Twitter account. Does anyone think new laws will stop this crime? Sure worked with the war on drugs.

In Operation Choke Point, the Dept of Justice put businesses in the gun & ammo industry on a list with escort services and Ponzi schemes. Bankers were sent the list and have shut down bank accounts for numerous gun shops. They should rename it the Dept of Injustice…

Do we really need a study by The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy to tell us that local taxes hits the lower wage earners the hardest? Once you start adding them up it could surprise you. NY Times

More fallout from that report by the Institute: Texas is a member of “The Terrible Ten”. This may be difficult to acknowledge, but based on these numbers, Texas is third in the nation for the most unfair taxes to those with lowest income.

If you can afford to eat out for lunch, you probably aren’t adversely effected by these taxes & fees. “Everything Is Awesome” unless you have to do without...

So, if you’re the Taliban and you don’t want your emails read, what do you do? Make them look like spam. Pretty smart. Extramarital email communication could be masked as CONSOLIDATE YOUR DEBT.

Cheap Oil Cost 756 U S Steel Workers Their Jobs Investors.com You ain’t seen nuthin yet! Texas economy will tailspin...

Why do I not believe the Saudi Prince who is convinced we will never again see $100 barrel oil? Two reasons: 1. I believe he said it to look suprised when it does. (misdirection) 2. One perfectly placed bomb would drastically change oil prices overnight.

The USA playbook has proved bombing can be good for the economy. If your government was facing bankruptcy would you bomb a few Middle Eastern refineries or a nuclear weapons facility in Iran?

I read a statement that I can’t quit thinking about. “Without Poverty, Ignorance and Guilt there would be no liberalism.” The acronym it referenced made the statement meaningless.
