My guess is that about 80% of our fellow citizens are economic illiterates. They vote, so 80% of our elected officials are also economic illiterates. Pareto principle.

The European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) is a primarily ocean-going fish that sometimes enters brackish and fresh waters.

They couldn't afford Hillary's $250K fee for a speech and they got dinner and drinks too.

I am about one Republican establishment insult of Trump shy of voting Trump for President and Libertarian or Constitutional party the rest of the way down the ticket.

I'm with you Brother.

Had to look up branzino. European sea bass.

Whassa matta wid AMERICAN Sea Bass? Oh, that's right; the wrecks and rocks are paved with them, but they're "threatened"!

The main reason is, it turns out their golden girl (in the sense of the TV show) was just wasted money, give or take her going to prison.

Look, hackers are going to hack their way in -- what difference does it make The question is, how much would they pay to save themselves the time? Taking the money always worked for Bill when he had secrets rich foreigners wanted, and we still left the White House flat broke. Who knows where it goes?

Indeed! The same holds true for Harley Lady. Chances are more than likely, proven correct. Woman’s intuition?

Uh-Yup. Us hicks out here in the sticks (Flyover Country) are just too dumb to understand how an Economy is supposed to work.

We haven't figured out that when Hamburger goes from 69 cents a pound to $4.00 a pound, why it is not a cost of living increase.

Boy, I wish my e-mail wasn’t Yahoo but it is what it is. Lies, Lies, and More Lies.

You can have more than one you know. You can get free ones everywhere and then set your Yahoo mail to forward to the new one. I started real email with Netscape, then Earthlink, now have about a dozen which is a pain in the patush. Of course you can just not set them as active in your mail client and they will eventually die.

[“He had $57 million...and took out 16 candidates, so that’s $3.35 million per kill. [Hillary Clinton] had $183 million and she took out one 73-year-old socialist that wasn’t a Democrat until 23 months ago. She’s going to need a lot more money.”]

This is typical for Democrats. Buying votes and influence with other people’s money. Contrast with Conservative Trump....accomplishing much more with less money.

[Flying Circus]

They are too arrogant and condescending toward us here in “fly-over country” to realize that we understand that, but the majority of voters in places like California and Massachusetts do not.

Trump will get a 0% loan for his next building project from these guys.

But I didn’t know until this day that it was Branzino all along...
