Elbert Guillory: Mary Landrieu is Not Helping Blacks

The war on the poor

So utility costs are going up in Massachusetts.

Many Massachusetts households are going to see their electric bills shoot up 37 percent this winter, a rate increase that some advocates fear will put additional strain on low-income families. 

State regulators approved the increase for National Grid household customers that would mean an average of $33 per month more for the typical residential customer and would push a typical monthly bill higher than $150. 

Large-business customers will see even higher increases.National Grid has almost 1.3 million residential and business electric customers in Massachusetts. The new rates take effect in November. 

"This is pretty bad, and it's going to really have a bearing on a lot of Massachusetts households' abilities to just make ends meet this winter," John Howat, senior energy analyst at the National Consumer Law Center in Boston, told The Boston Globe. 

The utility blame the rate hikes on the cost of buying electricity from power plants, which has soared because of an increased demand for natural gas used to generate electricity.

Why is there an increase in natural gas prices?

Because the political correctness known as global warming means that we can't use coal to generate electricity.

Let me ask a question

Who gets hurt more from increased utility costs in Massachusetts?

1) Single Moms
2) John Kerry
3) Ben Affleck
4) David Ortiz
5) Tom Brady

The war on the press

It seems like it just rolls off the tongue like water.

Conservatives will do anything to stifle a free press in this country.

But is that really the case?

Let's face it. Whenever the communists take over a government, the first thing they do is start shooting members of the media.

But take a left wing government here in this country. There are no be headings but there's sure a hell of lot of press suppression.

The war on children

Between getting ready for vacation, doing vacation, and catching up from vacation, I'm not able to devote some blogging time.

While I was out of town, I read this piece printed, in all places, the Minneapolis Star Tribune regarding the plan reduction in suspensions in Minneapolis Schools.

Creating stable middle class neighborhoods should be the top priority of our political and civic leaders — a goal requiring quality public schools, reasonable taxes and low crime rates. The simple fact is that Minneapolis and St. Paul will not be healthy without a large and growing middle class. 

But the reality is that people often leave depressed inner city communities quietly without much fanfare. Who can blame them given the quality of the schools and the level of crime and violence that exist in parts of our city? Along with most people reading this article, I would never expose children to the risks that exist in many parts of our city. 

What’s ironic is that public schoolteachers and elected officials know this. These public servants often talk of their support for public schools while disproportionately sending their children to private schools. 

Some studies show that public schoolteachers are twice as likely as the general public to send their kids to private schools. Other studies have shown that over 30 percent of the members of Congress send their school age children to private schools, while less than 10 percent of the general public use private schools. 

The recent effort by the Minneapolis school board to reduce suspensions in early grades and equalize suspensions across racial lines will have one certain effect — more chaos in the classroom. The school system will, of course, deny that the new policy will be harmful, presenting it as necessary to close the achievement gap and a learning opportunity for students of all racial and ethnic backgrounds.

So let me ask a question, is it the big, racist, conservatives subjecting good students to packs of derelicts or liberals?

I keep saying on this blog that I'm not a conservative for me. I've got my education so what do I give a shit if a bunch of kids in Minneapolis can't read because the school district would rather protect miscreants rather than educating the diligent. In fact, it's to my economic advantage to keep these kids ignorant.

But right is right. and you won't find a conservative worth their wears who would approve of this policy.

It's the liberals, waging the war on children.

Please make sure you pass your TB and Enterovirus on our citizens..........

More than 30 Lynn Community Health Center employees and 800 patients are being tested to determine if they were exposed to tuberculosis after center doctors confirmed a case.

Center Director Lori Berry says after confirming the single positive test for tuberculosis in a male health care worker around Labor Day, center medical workers contacted and tested employees as well as patients ‘‘having sufficient exposure to warrant testing.’’

City Health Director MaryAnn O'Connor tells The Daily Item the identified case at the center is ‘‘not a reason to panic’’ and said people should not stay away from clinic

The Center for Disease Control’s website describes tuberculosis as bacteria ‘‘that usually attack the lungs’’ but can attack other parts of the body, and if not treated properly can be fatal.

This article doesn't suggest that the TB originated from an illegal immigrant but would you like to make a wager on it?

Maybe liberals haven’t noticed yet, but it hasn’t taken all that long for the infective consequences of President Obama’s refusal to put Americans first to befall the most innocent among us. For starters, Ohio, California, and Kansas are just a few of the states already struggling to contain measles outbreaks.

Now, in addition to measles, more than 1,000 children in 10 states -- Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Iowa, Colorado, Ohio, Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Georgia -- have suddenly become infected with a rare respiratory virus, not seen in the U.S. since the 1960s, called human Enterovirus EV-D68. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention claim that the rare strain is related to the same rhinovirus responsible for causing the common cold. 

The dire prediction is that in the coming weeks and months, Enterovirus EV-D68, origin unknown, is due to spread to all 50 states and afflict great numbers of otherwise healthy children.

Fox 2 News Headlines

This guy is a sociopath

President Barack Obama told NBC News on Sunday that he regrets the "optics" of going golfing just minutes after making a speech about the beheading of American journalist James Foley by ISIS terrorists.

"I've got to ask. During that vacation, you made the statement on Foley. You went and golfed. Do you want that back?" asked NBC News' Chuck Todd. 

"You know, it is always a challenge when you're supposed to be on vacation because you're followed everywhere," said Obama. "There's always going to be some tough news somewhere....I should have anticipated the optics."

Obama said he held back tears after speaking with the parents of the beheaded.

Obama added, "Part of this job is the theater of it."

So when he held back the tears, was that part of the theater?

I've got an idea. How about being moved so much in someone's grief, that teeing off isn't one of your first intstincts.

It's called empathy.

Blaming the victim

So if being drunk may make you more susceptible to being raped, wouldn't you educate coeds as such?

Not in today's politically correct society..........

“I don’t think you are doing young women any favors by saying, We’re not going to tell you that this happens – and be careful about it.” The reason given for the censorship, she says, were “focusing on how much students drink . . . leads to blaming victims.”

That's hilarious.

At the University of Cincinnati's own website, they have safety tips to help protect yourself against crime on and near campus.

Here's the list of suggestions

• Lock your doors and windows
• Be alert and aware of your surroundings
• Don't leave cell phones and computers unattended in plain sight
• Travel in pairs or groups - don't walk alone
• Avoid dark streets and hallways
• Don't reveal personal information to strangers or new acquaintances
• Don't leave door/house keys under the doormat and don't leave notes on the door
• Don't get on an elevator with someone that makes you feel uncomfortable

How is adding a line item saying, don't get plastered in bars somehow"blaming the victim"?

Surely, coeds should be able to get bombed like anyone else. But every student should know that being impaired means being impaired. You are not nearly as likely to fight off an attack when you're bombed.......male or female.

So we're going to play pretend not give students the truth.

Who's the journalist and who's the hack?

So James O'Keefe is not considered a journalist for some of his stunts like crossing the border in an Osama bin Laden mask to illustrate the porous border situation we have.

But, of course, if Jim Avila, from ABC news does it, it is somehow legtimate.........

It's not that difficult to cross into Mexico's southern border from Guatemala, claims ABC News reporter Jim Avila: For $5, he was able to board a raft and make a short trip across a river, along with three other people.
"We found in Guatemala just last month makeshift rafts, filled with immigrants crossing illegally into Mexico heading to the U.S.," Avila said during a segment on ABC's "This Week" Sunday. "I boarded one with no papers, no IDs checked. Cost me $5 to bring three people over here from Guatemala to Mexico."
As nearly 75 percent of the nearly 63,000 illegal, unaccompanied migrant juveniles that have come across the United States' southern border have been from Central America, there has been concern that many are traveling through Guatemala on their way north. Others pass through Belize into Mexico, and then into the United States, ABC reports.

 

 

What's the difference?

Liberalism, siccing the predators on their communities

I'm a law and order type of conservative. Do the crime and do the crime.

But why should I care if liberals want to set criminals loose on society? Take any poor, crime ridden area. When the criminals get released, do they come to my area in Redville? No. They head right back to to "Progress" City where they can continue victimizing their communities.

Never has there been a more clear example of this than a recent killing here in Cincinnati.

Deters believes the Aug. 19 shooting deaths in Avondale of Antwon Ward and Tywaune Thomas might have been prevented had Hunter sent Thomas to juvenile prison as prosecutors asked. Instead, Hunter, in an October 2013 sentencing, ordered Thomas to undergo outpatient drug treatment, to attend school and be placed on house arrest wearing an electronic device to monitor his whereabouts, Deters said.

"Judge Hunter has consistently said that she is doing this 'for the children.' Well, now we have a dead one," a statement issued by Deters office Thursday morning states.

Prosecutors asked for a prison term because Thomas was convicted of trafficking in heroin, his 37th conviction as a juvenile. Because Thomas also had a history, prosecutors said, of running away from unsecured facilities and violating his house arrest, they asked that he be sent to juvenile prison until age 21, the maximum sentence.

Thomas would have been in prison, Deters noted, on Aug. 19 when authorities said he shot and killed Ward in the 500 block of Carplin Avenue. Thomas then was shot and killed by an unnamed third person.

"Her campaign to not incarcerate violent juveniles has been a disaster," Deters said. "This should come as no surprise."

Certainly no surprise to me which is why I moved to the 'burbs. Judge Hunter can keep those criminals right where she wants them. In her neighborhood.


Seriously, Democrats wouldn't have to keep importing immigrant voters if they simply prevented the killing of their existing constituency.

Why I no longer trust the government

Many years ago, a theory was floated that there may be a link between vaccinations and autism.

Jenny McCarthy and others who advocated this belief have been besieged by a public relations campaign sponsored by the CDC discrediting this belief.

Nevermind, that the CDC cannot tells us what is causing this increase of children on the spectrum. But they know for sure that McCarthy and her ilk are nutty. Just ask the totally unbiased studies commissioned by the CDC for proof.

Oh..... it turns out that these studies are totally bogus...........

A CDC senior epidemiologist stepped forward last week to say that he and his CDC colleagues omitted data that linked MMR vaccine to autism in a 2004 study. The scientist, William Thompson, said “I regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant information.”

Sharryl Attkisson, maybe the only journalist to question the authorities, is tracking this.

What is phenomenal is that Attkisson, actually posed a question to the CDC that they never even considered. Are Amish Children seeing the same increases of Autism seen in the general population?

They've never done any study or questionnaires on the subject.

Seriously!

I'm just guessing but I think maybe they are afraid of what they might find.

The science is settled.........

Except when it isn't.......

Global warming has been temporarily 'paused' according to a group of scientists, who attribute this interlude to climate fluctuations and a more restrained sun. 

No shit? Who would have thought that the sun would have some impact on global warming?

But apparently there are other things that impact the climate as well.

The first is that global temperatures, which rose significantly in the 1990s, have only risen very slightly since 1998 - which has been used by sceptics to question climate change and the models used to measure it.

However, climate fluctuations such as El Niño and its counter-phenomenon La Niña have been shown to have caused the high in 1998 and following cooler years respectively. Climate models cannot predict when exactly these fluctuations will happen.

The other reason for the lower temperatures is weak solar irradiance. As well as fluctations in the climate, changes in the intensity of solar irradiance have been showing unusual patterns. The researchers also say that volanic eruptions, such as Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland in 2010, "have increased the concentration of floating particles (aerosol) in the atmosphere, which has further weakened the solar irradiance arriving at the Earth's surface".

So wait, you mean that El Nino's, La Nina's, also have an impact on climate as well?

But you can't figure what the impact is, but you are certain that humans have the most impact?

And you call me a denier?

I've got an question. Since apparently the science is settled. Why is the government spending resources investigating something that's "settled"?

I'll bet if the funding gets cut off, things will be less "settled"

Money passage..........

The more progressive the city, the worse a place it is to be poor and/or black. The most pronounced economic inequality in the United States is not in some Republican redoubt in Texas but in San Francisco, an extraordinarily expensive city in which half of all black households make do with less than $25,000 a year. Blacks in San Francisco are arrested on drug felonies at ten times their share of the general population. At 6 percent of the population, they represent 40 percent of those arrested for homicides. Whether you believe that that is the result of a racially biased criminal-justice system or the result of higher crime incidence related to socioeconomic conditions within black communities (or some combination of those factors) what is undeniable is that results for black Americans are far worse in our most progressive, Democrat-dominated cities than they are elsewhere. The progressives have had the run of things for a generation in these cities, and the results are precisely what you see.

Meet Amanda Curtis

Do what the cops tell you

Years ago, I was at a party that was starting to get out of hand.

I was watching something on TV with my buddies and a cop walked in a yelled "everyone under 18 get the hell out of here right now".

That was all the warning I needed.

Unfortunately, as I was heading out the door, some ass hole behind me started bitching about private property, pigs and rights.

I wish I knew what happened to that guy because the last I saw him he was on the ground eating carpet fiber.

Me?  I walked away without a problem.

As I get older, I feel more like Kevin Kline bitching out William Hurt in the Big Chill for disrespecting the cop who pulled him over.

I haven't posted on the Ferguson dust up because I don't know that happened that day.........Just like every one of the talking heads who have an opinion on this event.

But it's following a similar pattern to all the other events like this.

Media puts out unconfirmed reports. People jump to their respective sides.


The Bobblehead Reverends show up and make things even more polarized.

Eventually, this cop will face some show trial but because the witnesses have been tainted by their prejudices, multiple investigations contradicting each other and media attention, there will be no ability to prosecute this cop which will start a mini riot still to come.

The moral to the story, do what the cop tells you and you walk away.

The Euro's are learning their lesson

Will we learn from their mistakes...................

The Dutch government says it will abandon the long-standing model of multiculturalism that has encouraged Muslim immigrants to create a parallel society within the Netherlands.

A new integration bill (covering letter and 15-page action plan), which Dutch Interior Minister Piet Hein Donner presented to parliament on June 16, reads: "The government shares the social dissatisfaction over the multicultural society model and plans to shift priority to the values of the Dutch people. In the new integration system, the values of the Dutch society play a central role. With this change, the government steps away from the model of a multicultural society."

The letter continues: "A more obligatory integration is justified because the government also demands that from its own citizens. It is necessary because otherwise the society gradually grows apart and eventually no one feels at home anymore in the Netherlands. The integration will not be tailored to different groups."

The new integration policy will place more demands on immigrants. For example, immigrants will be required to learn the Dutch language, and the government will take a tougher approach to immigrants to ignore Dutch values or disobey Dutch law.

The government will also stop offering special subsidies for Muslim immigrants because, according to Donner, "it is not the government's job to integrate immigrants." The government will introduce new legislation that outlaws forced marriages and will also impose tougher measures against Muslim immigrants who lower their chances of employment by the way they dress. More specifically, the government will impose a ban on face-covering Islamic burqas as of January 1, 2013.

Living with the demagoguery of democrats would be tolerable if the media would just call out the hypocrisy every once in a while........

For example, African-American staffers on Democratic campaigns were paid 70 cents for each dollar their white counterparts made. For Hispanic staffers in Democratic campaigns, the figure was 68 cents on the dollar. 

And a recent study by PowerPAC+, funded by a major Democratic donor, revealed that less than 2 percent of spending by Democratic campaign committees during the past two election cycles went to firms owned by minorities.  

Political operative Michael Gomez Daly worked on two congressional campaigns in 2012 with similar budgets. On one campaign, Daly, who describes himself as “a very light-skinned Hispanic,” was brought in as a field director, primarily for his skills as a Latino operative who could reach out to the Hispanic community. On the second campaign, where they did not know he was Hispanic, “I just came in as ‘Michael Daly,’ instead of ‘that Latino operative,’” he said. “Right off the bat they offered me twice the amount for the same job.”

Protecting illegals costs American lives

By not deporting illegals ASAP, we leave them to commit these crimes against citizens.............

Dickinson police say an officer tried to pull over a Dodge Durango for a traffic violation. When the officer turned on his emergency lights, the driver sped off, reaching 100 miles per hour. About 1.3 miles later, the suspect disregarded a stop sign and struck a Honda Accord that was headed eastbound on FM 646. The impact so intense, the Honda Accord was pushed into a ditch and knocked down power lines. 

The driver involved in a police chase that ended in a fatal crash was identified as 23-year-old Juan Garcia Ahuezoteco.

There were four people in the Honda Accord, Rafael Guerrero, 41, Alejandra Guerrero, 38, Gilberto Ortega Jr., 25, and a 15-year-old teenage boy. All four died on scene. Family members say the boy was the son of the Guerrero.

So why was Ahuezoteco so eager to flee the police?

There were two men killed in the Durango. The driver was identified as Juan Garcia Ahuezoteco, 23. His passenger was Alejandro Molina. It has been determined that Ahuezoteco had an outstanding felony warrant for Driving While Intoxicated. Ahuezoteco's girlfriend, who says she is pregnant with his child, says she was on the phone with the suspect as he fled from police.

"He was freaking out," the woman told Eyewitness News.
She says he was afraid of getting deported and told her he loved her before the crash. 

So these folks killed can thank President Obama for their Dream Act.

So what does it tell you when people are willing to give up their citizenship to, what used to be, the best country on earth?

It may seem like a drop in the bucket, especially when droves want to immigrate to America. Still, the newly published names of individuals who renounced their U.S. citizenship or terminated long-term U.S. residency is up, with 576 for the quarter and 1,577 so far this year. The growing trend is a sad one as Record Numbers of Americans Are Renouncing Their U.S. Citizenship.

For all the immigrant arrivals, the trickle the other direction is becoming more pronounced. The tally was 2,999 for all of 2013, a 221% increase over the 932 who left in 2012. The Treasury Department is required to publish a quarterly list, a kind of public outing putting Americans on notice of who relinquished their rights. Consular expatriations, where people don’t file exit tax forms with the IRS, are apparently not counted.

Indeed, the Treasury Department’s published list states explicitly this is just those about whom the Secretary of the Treasury has data. It means these numbers are under-stated, some say considerably. Although tax law used to impact how one is taxed on departing the U.S., is no longer relevant why someone expatriates.

- The government is twisting in the wind over the comfort of a executed criminal. Much more concern shown for him that he ever showed for his victims.

- Our truly only friend in the middle east, Israel, continues to be pushed, cajoled, encouraged, bullied into accepting stupid peace agreements that do nothing to for its long term security.

- Our veterans continue to wait for treatment while heroins addicts get emergency room treatment to save them from overdosing.

The fed's regresssive tax on the poor

I just recently got my 401k/SEP statements and I'm a rockin'

With the feds easy money policy, people with money are kicking ass.

See, cheap money means company's costs of capital are lower which means more on the bottom line. Couple that with a soft economy which suppresses labor costs and my 401k statement starts kicking ass.

But the Feds easy money comes at a price.

Devalued dollars means it costs more for commodities such as gasoline, grains, meats, etc.

So while inflation is low in aggregate, the cost that middle income people have to pay for gasoline and food is killing them.

U.S. food prices are on the rise, raising a sensitive question: When the cost of a hamburger patty soars, does it count as inflation? It does to everyone who eats and especially poorer Americans, whose food costs absorb a larger portion of their income. But central bankers take a more nuanced view. They sometimes look past food-price increases that appear temporary or isolated while trying to control broad and long-term inflation trends, not blips that might soon reverse…
The consumer price of ground beef in May rose 10.4% from a year earlier while pork chop prices climbed 12.7%. The price of fresh fruit rose 7.3% and oranges 17.1%. But prices for cereals and bakery products were up just 0.1% and vegetable prices inched up only 0.5%. The U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts overall food prices will increase 2.5% to 3.5% this year after rising 1.4% in 2013, as measured by the Labor Department’s consumer-price index. In a typical supermarket, shoppers are seeing higher prices around the store’s periphery, in the produce section and at the meat counter.

Hey at least George Bush did a flyover..........

For President Barack Obama, the humanitarian crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border is increasingly becoming a political liability, giving Republicans a fresh opportunity to question his administration's competence and complicating the debate over the nation's fractured immigration laws.

Still, Obama is resisting calls to visit the border during his two-day fundraising trip to Texas, where he arrives late Wednesday afternoon. Instead, Obama will hold a meeting hundreds of miles away in Dallas to discuss the crisis with faith leaders and Texas officials, including Republican Gov. Rick Perry.

Obama's trip comes one day after he asked Congress for $3.7 billion in emergency spending to get more resources to the border.

The roundtable discussion in Dallas is seen by the White House as a way to address the immigration issue while avoiding awkward optics at the border. Tens of thousands of unaccompanied children have arrived there in recent months, many fleeing violence in Central America, but also drawn by rumors that they can stay in the U.S. White House officials say most are unlikely to qualify for humanitarian relief and will be sent back to their home countries.

None the less, a couple of weeks ago, I was driving back from Columbus to my palatial estate. by the end of my drive, I must have had hundreds of bugs splattered on my windshield. And it dawned on me.

How many trillions of bugs do we humans  kill on a daily basis? Think of all the insects we kill through our cars, our lawnmowers, walking, etc.

How much of a dent have we made in the insect population?

I've yet to hear one person say that our ecosystem is in jeopardy as a result of the loss of insects.

In fact, every morning on my drive to work, I see at least one newly dead opossum, raccoon, squirrel, goose, etc in the road way. Despite the genocide of these various forms of wildlife I have yet to hear that opossum are an endangered species.

So while I'm agnostic as to man's impact on the environment, I'm also smart enough to realize that the world's a pretty damn big place. And if we cannot even make a dent into the world wide mosquito population, what makes someone think we have that much of an impact on global temperatures.

When gov't runs health care

Denying me my reproductive rights

There's an irony to the Hobby Lobby decision coming out this week.

Just this past weekend, I was drinking some beers with Midas and I asked him to pay for a vasectomy I was scheduled for.

His first response was STFU.

But I told him that if he didn't pay for it, he was denying me my reproductive rights.

Then he responded with his GTFOOH slam.

Honestly, that conversation never happened because it would never dawn on me to ask someone to pay for my own health issues.

But I wonder if I met up with Sandra Fluke and asked her to pay for my vasectomy, would she cut me a check?

Obviously, Sandra has a lot more money than I do. I don't have the ability to drop a 100k into a congressional run. So it seems only fair that she pay for my vasectomy, a little Levitra, and maybe even some hookers to I can fully express my reproductive freedom.

Someone please tell me how I am the one who has this screwed up.

Who did she vote for? #10199

Meet Nicole Hill.

Why is she in the news?

\

It has been six weeks since the city turned off Nicole Hill's water.

Dirty dishes are piled in the sink of her crowded kitchen, where the yellow-and-green linoleum floor is soiled and sticky. A small garbage can is filled with water from a neighbor, while a bigger one sits outside in the yard, where she hopes it will collect some rain. She's developed an intricate recycling system of washing the dishes, cleaning the floor and flushing the toilet with the same water.

"It's frightening, because you think this is something that only happens somewhere like Africa," said Hill, a single mother who is studying homeland security at a local college. "But now I know what they're going through — when I get somewhere there's a water faucet, I drink until my stomach hurts."

So Nicole here has no money for her water bill but she appears to have plenty of money for tattoos, her nails and hair coloring.

Given her seemingly poor choices in life, do you think Nicole pulled the chain for Romney or Obama?

The Obama Doctrine

Life in "Progress" City - Detroit edition

It’s a basic human right: water. But could the United Nations soon help the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department provide the service to struggling customers?

Water department spokeswoman Curtrise Garner says it’s a possibility — but for now, the water bills must be paid.

“We do have programs that do help those that are just totally in need; can’t afford it — but we also know that there are also people who can’t afford it would can not pay and we know this because, once we shut water off, the next day they are in paying the bill in full. So we do know that that has become a habit as well,” said Garner.

“At the DWAS Department — it’s not our goal to shut off water. We want people’s water on, just like they do; but you do have to pay for your water…That’s the bottom line.”

CNN Anchors Mock And Laugh At Clinton's Latest Comments About Her Wealth

It's only corruption when you say GOP

Remember the good old days when you couldn't get through a news cycle without hearing the name Jack Abramoff.

Thanks to our liberal news heros, they've done a good job of making sure we never have to hear about corrupt campaign donors like this guy..............

A California businessman who has donated over $1 million to Democrats, including President Obama, has been indicted in federal court for a laundry list of infractions.

Two sealed indictments were handed down against Kareem Ahmed, the CEO of Landmark Medical Management, and 15 associates, TPM reports.

Ahmed is accused of running a kickback scheme involving a topical cream his company developed. One indictment alleges that Ahmed would pay doctors who handled workers’ compensation cases to prescribe the cream. The scam ran from 2009 to 2013 and involved the filing of false insurance claims, according to TPM, which obtained the documents.

According to Southern California Public Radio, Ahmed paid doctors a total of $25 million to dispense the “transdermal cream.”

The involuntary manslaughter allegation involves Ahmed and two others — a pharmacist and a doctor. The three “did unlawfully and without malice kill Andrew G. (a minor), a human being, in the commission of a lawful act which might produce death, in an unlawful manner and without due caution and circumspection,” the indictment reads, without providing much other detail.

a course in ignorance.

So the city of Seattle is going through with it's minimum wage increase to $15.00 an hour.

But not so fast Batman.

The city managed to to exempt non franchise businesses from the immediate increase.

Why?

If the purpose of this law was to help working class people be able to support themselves are you not saying that their services for a non franchise business is less valuable than a franchise business?

Of course, the people who enacted this law showed their understanding of business acumen with some of these quotes...........

At a recent hearing, City Councilmember Kshama Sawant said franchise owners can afford to pay workers more. “In order to be a franchisee, you need to be very, very wealthy," she said.

Really? For every wealthy McDonald's owner there's a Subway, Kinko', Penn Station, Shell oil franchisee who used their life savings to purchase their franchise.

In addition, most franchisees are required to pay the franchisor fees in the range of 7% of their sales. On top of that, most franchises have to pay 1-2% of their sales go to pay for an Ad-coop. So when you buy that $5.00 footlong nearly 50 cents are paid out before another vendor gets a dime.

But that's OK, because the mayor shows his abject ignorance as well.

“They are part of a larger, national corporate monopoly that is very, very different than individual business owners,” Murray said.

Monopoly?


In addition to the franchise clause, companies with fewer than 500 employees are exampt for seven years versus three for larger firms.

So how is it that if you are the 499th employee at a company, Seattle has determined that your value is less than the 501st employee of a different company?

Seattle has set the bar in defying the cost/benefit principle that's been around since this first econ 101 class began.

Anyone want to make a wager on what the unemployment rate does between now and full implementation?

Meet the writers of this invitation...........

Will the people who put this together vote for Republicans or Democrats in the next election?

Where's the apology?

Three years ago, Ohio expanded the ability of concealed carry holders to carry their weapons in bars and restaurants provided they don't drink.

Let's look back at the predictions.............

“The law says they can’t consume alcohol, but will that person be honest and play by the rules and not have a drop of alcohol when they have a gun on them?” 

“Alcohol and guns do not mix in any type of setting,” Heimlich said. “By inviting them into a restaurant, you’re opening yourself up to issues.”

“We oppose guns in bars, but it’s the law now and we hope that our prediction of increased violence doesn’t come to pass,”

Opponents of the law said bars would take on a "wild West" atmosphere if patrons could arm themselves.

I'll expect the same silence from the Branch Gorevidians when I'm standing on Daytona beach 20 years from now .

I guess gay stereotypes are OK

Last night, my bride was flipping through the channels and landed at the beginning of the Tony Awards.

Within the first five minutes of the ceremony, Hugh Jackman launched about 15 gay jokes and/or gay sexual innuendo references.

So I guess it's now A-OK to drop those when you feel like.

My question is this. Can you name one "hard choice" the Billary ever made?

Libs are so smart.... Just ask one

If you hang around liberals long enough, you'll never be able to escape three truths.

1) Liberals are so smart, just ask one and they'll know everything about everything. Their belief in their intelligence totally squashes any personal humility

2) They are so worldly. And yet they have no sense of introspection at any level.

3) They're never to blame for their actions and are always looking for someone to bail them out for their shitty decisions.

So you really have to laugh your ass off when you get to see all of these in play in just two paragraphs of a news article.................

“I’m at the breaking point,” said Gretchen Gardner, an Austin artist who bought a 1930s bungalow in the Bouldin neighborhood just south of downtown in 1991 and has watched her property tax bill soar to $8,500 this year.

“It’s not because I don’t like paying taxes,” said Gardner, who attended both meetings. “I have voted for every park, every library, all the school improvements, for light rail, for anything that will make this city better. But now I can’t afford to live here anymore. I’ll protest my appraisal notice, but that’s not enough. Someone needs to step in and address the big picture.”

Here's the big picture Gretchen. Quit fucking voting for every tax increase.

Besides Gretchen's incredible stupidity, there was something in the article that our public needs an education on................

The share of property taxes from homeowners to support public schools grew from 45 percent to 54 percent over a 12-year period, while commercial and industrial owners’ share has declined to less than 20 percent. (Other sectors, from oil and gas to personal property, make up the rest.)

Let me ring the clue phone to you dumbasses. Businesses owners aren't clueless. They don't pay for more government than they need. So every time you pass a tax increase, income, property, or increased regulation, you simply provide fuel for business owners to get the hell out of Dodge.

When those businesses leave, who do you think has to pick up the slack? Gretchen?
