If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

I sure don't understand how they maintain it at $102 a month. |

Click on this section Nunez Family Economic Snapshot. It looks like they spend $250 per month on top of the food stamps. How could a media outlet pick someone as ridiculous as this to portray in an article. The Onion couldn't have dreamed up someone like this. lb |

Agreed. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

That's a very very large culture. Walking through the mission district in san francisco, which is sort of a Latinotown, there is nary a thin person to be seen. |

But yes NPR runs anecdotal "news" stories like that all the time. If you have a sob story and it has a tangential relationship with something that's the government's fault, they'll treat it like a news story. |

How's that make them any different than any other news source? They all do that. It's called a human interest story. |

Human interest stories should be squirrels waterskiiing. They should never be anything other than squirrels waterskiing. I heard Bush intentionally drowned a waterskiing squirrel yesterday. Just for the fun of it.

But he did so without first obtaining the squirrel's informed consent or a proper court order, hence violated the Constitution. |

He didn't do it just for the fun of it. He did it because his sources told him it had nuts of mass destruction. When I say 'sources', I actually the mean the voice in his head he thinks is Jesus. |

He calls the left one "mass" and the right one "destruction". (If you squint, you can see that the left one hangs lower, proving his claims.) ![]() (I just knew Google Image Search for "squirrel nuts" wouldn't disappoint.....) |

Brian Setzer Orchestra, too. Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller... I love all that stuff. Big Band and Swing is the shiz.... I flip the cable box over to the Big Band music channel, when I'm shooting pool.
