I left off the /s button and hope you did too!

Of course, I already assume we're all on the same side here.

Speaking about talking with Obamabots, I work with one who is totally hypnotized. She owns two cars. I asked her why she doesn't donate one to a family who needs a car. Wouldn't that be the fair thing to do. You know, spread your wealth around. She said maybe she would donate one of them when she gets a new car and can get rid of one of them.

I pop her with questions regularly and she has no concept of reality on most things, nor is she personally willing to spread her wealth around in any way, shape, or form. None of them are.

I put a sign on a bucket on my porch for tonight. It reads as follows...

Dear Obama Voters
Please deposit half of your childs candy in this bucket
It will be spread around to those too lazy to trick or treat

They just got cable today.. Assuming its the most basic package that’s 50$ a month.

And meanwhile I hear that no one can afford health insurance. It's all a matter of priorities.

If your computer use is restricted to Web browsing (as most people’s is), then the iPhone is a great deal. The phone is a cheap computer. The phone service costs about the same as anyone else’s. And, even at $30 a month, the use-almost-anywhere Internet service is a pretty good deal.

It’s not just a pretty phone.

Understood. This wasn't an anti-iPhone post. It was an anti-so-poor-i-cant-afford-to-eat post.

If we've come to the point where my money has to be collected by the government so they can give it to "low income earners" in the form of an EITC check, then I think fairness dictates that I should at least already own all the things the so-called low-income people have.

Lies, damnable lies and statistics.

They don’t tell you how many bought, just the increase percentages. So if 2 bought before and now 3 bought you have a 50% increase!

...I'm going into the hat business.

Great line KIO!
