Studs are legal - and VERY popular - here in the Northwest. I like the second picture, though. Those are some liberal-huntin’ tahrs, and I want a set.
When is it official?
December 21—aka the Winter Solstice.
100%. He’s destroying the “middle class” as fast as he can.
Remember 0Marxist’s first “definition” of “rich”? $250,000. Then it dropped to $200,000. Originally that was yearly gross income; pretty soon, it’ll be our net worth!
And it’s going down even further in the next 3yrs. He’ll “rule” by EO, bypass Congress, and his last 18mos will be a living hell for all of us.
Run ‘em over; then back-up and forth a few times, just to make sure. LOL!
I read an article recently that identified one element in the 2014 budget proposed by Obama is that if you have more than $3.4M in retirement savings (Pensions, 401K, IRA, etc.) then you are no longer eligible for pre-tax investments. They identified it as “the wealthy should not have these tax benefits to keep their money.”
Now, if you run an investment calculator and figure out how much you would have in an investment if you ONLY ever worked for minimum wage and invested 13% (the SSIP)in the market for 40 years at 10%, then you would find that you would have something in the range of $3-4M in savings.
When I put these two facts together, I see that they are actually identifying the $3.4M as once again governing to the least common denominator. If anyone has actually been responsible for the full 40 working years, then they will far exceed this minimum number.
Me, I got a late start myself so I will only achieve a couple mil, but many of my peers laugh at me for being silly about my purposefully planned life....so they are gonne be left with SSIP payments and as a result they will not be as “lucky” as me. I’m sure they will be all for the government taking mine to give to them....
I always thought Sept, Oct, Nov were fall and winter began in December?
I thought that the flat screens saturated the market because of the looters! Without the heroic poor to loot electronic stores during hurricanes, then none of us would have flat screens today!
Summer officially ends at the end of September (21-23) but school starting confuses me every year.....Fall is then September 21 - Dec 21 this year...
We did have a later-than-usual fall, but when we lost the weather, it all went to crap. Old Farmer’s Almanac is calling for another “relatively mild winter”; they have an 89% score, which is 50x better than the NWS and NOAA, combined, even with all their supercomputer models.

Looters should be shot on sight.
Something weird is going on at FR with posting and access, at least for me it is... pages won’t load.
FR for a moment would not display 100 posts per page for me.
I hope they’re right about that.
It’s still got problems; WMAL had the same problem when I was just d/lding CP’s podcast a few minutes ago. It comes and goes.
OKaaaaay, Rush should stop playing Christmas music then.
If I had the chance to invest all my 50yrs working life monies paid into SSI, into the market at 6-10% instead, I’d be a very wealthy camper. Instead, the gov’t took all that money and frittered it away, and what I’ll receive per month isn’t capable of supporting me, although I’ve been debt-free for 35yrs. If I waited until 70 to collect - I’m 64 now - I’d have a better monthly chunk of change to deal with. But I could drop dead next week. It’s a Ponzi scheme, and everyone should know that before the get near retirement age. 90% don’t and don’t plan for IRAs or 401Ks or other investments to provide supplemental income.
When I tuned him back in today, alas, he was again expounding on his "rich people" oft-repeated mantra.....and he kept hammering that same nail over and over till the end.
The first and last fifteen minutes of Rush's programs are virtually worthless as many of you have noticed......just unimportant social drivel commentary plus commercials.
This is not even good business. I worked in advertising and I know that the beginning segments of radio and TV talk programs should grab the audience right away. Some hot stuff should come first to snare folks into not turning the dial.
Sadly, today'a first segment was a little dab of football, which was of some interest.....but then came a lengthy autopsy of a worthless "study" on men gazing at women which went on and on and on.
Rush should get into some raw meat and potatos, inside stuff, up-to-date news, critical things going on in DC or overseas....right off the bat. And if he want to add a little dopey social-commentary gravy, fine with me....but quit pooping away the entire first segment and then into the next segment on junk we don't really tune in to hear.
Rush can go into periods of laziness, lack of creative presentations and repetitiveness (he's only human) but he has a highly-paid experienced production staff that should be feeding him topical and important stuff to keep his audience's attention.
He's repeating his favorite rants over and over again, which is fine...if he'd only spend equal time on the IRS, Benghazi, Obama's destruction of the Constitution (in detail), the GOP-elites wrecking-crew, Iran, religion under attack, no jobs, outrageous spending....he barely touches on these things in any detail whatsoever while he goes on and on and on about women-gazing....and I for one would like the benefit of his insight on the more glaring issues of the day.
I'M SICK OF LISTENING TO THE RESULTS OF MULTITUDINOUS POLLS (which are only snapshops in a very abbreviated time period, anyhow, as well as being a cushy gold mine for polling companies of all kinds and creeds)..POLLS WHICH BEING PARSED AND DISSECTED OVER AND OVER AGAIN EVERY DAY AND NIGHT ON EVERY RADIO SHOW AND TV PROGRAM ! Give us a break from that onslaught, Rush!
I've listened to Rush virtually every day for over twenty years. He's my mentor and inspiration. I hope he remains that way for the next twenty years. I also hope he and/or someone on his staff reads this....and I'm sure they do.
When Rush is on his game, there's no one like him for brilliance and logic.

I have mine set 50/page, but it seems to be back to ‘normal’, now. Guessing they replaced a tired hamster.
