As an agnostic…

…I really need to get me some of this:

Favorite part: it’s “miraculously pepper-minty”.

The Left got all upset last year…

…because they say Wal-Mart forces their employees onto public healthcare…

…but isn’t that what the Left wants to do to everyone?

We used to call this “burying the lead”

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reprinted this article under the headline: “Rich American’s keep getting richer.”

The first paragraph reads:

In a new sign of increasing inequality in the U.S., tadalafil look the richest 1% of Americans in 2006 garnered the highest share of the nation’s adjusted gross income for two decades, buy cialis ambulance and possibly the highest since 1929, store according to Internal Revenue Service data.

Man, it sounds like those rich bastards are really sticking it to us.

In the sixth paragraph we discover:

According to the figures, the richest 1% reported 22% of the nation’s total adjusted gross income in 2006. That is up from 21.2% a year earlier, and is the highest in the 19 years that the IRS has kept strictly comparable figures.

They made 22% of all the money made in the United States? Wow, that seems unfair.

But wait, what is this buried in the eighth paragraph?

As the wealthiest Americans’ share of income has risen, so has their share of the income-tax burden. The group paid 39.9% of all income taxes in 2006, compared with 27.6% in 1988.

They earn 22% of the income, but they pay 40% of the taxes, and we’re still bitching about it?

Holy crap. How much of the freight should these people have to pay?

So let’s say Steve Job’s cancer did come back…

I can see why some people might think the condition of Steve Job’s health should be public knowledge – after all he’s central to Apple’s success – but his health is a private matter.

And the argument that his health might have an effect on Apple’s stock price doesn’t hold much water.

Every public company has key people.

Does that mean everyone’s health at every publicly held company should be public knowledge?

The Huffington Post thinks it’s hilarious that John McCain is in German Village, Ohio…

…while Barack Obama is speaking to adoring crowds in Berlin:


As the Illinois Democrat speaks before the picturesque Victory Column in Berlin today,
generic cialis prescription the Arizona Republican is doing a slightly less exciting form of German outreach. He is having a lunch meeting with small business leaders at a German restaurant in German Village, cheap Columbus, Ohio.

But I’d like to point out that the people in Germany can’t vote in the next election, the people in Ohio can.

Wir sind Berliners, nicht.

Good God, this is why you don’t leave a weapon unattended and unsecured.

Stories like this are horrific and they give people who already hate guns even more reason to hate them. Secure your weapons people.

Under the category of “It’s always something”

Parents are suing New York City because the black rubber safety mats used at playgrounds can get so hot that kids can burn their bare feet.

Of course, cialis sale view there are signs posted warning that kids shouldn’t play on the mats without their shoes on, viagra usa malady but that’s neither here nor there.

What I find interesting is this is just another example of unintended consequences.

Kids are falling down and scrapping their knees?

Sue the city until they put rubber mats down.

Kids are burning their little piggies on the hot rubber mats?

Sue the city until they remove the mats.

I know I probably sound a little cavalier about this, but coming from a generation that threw lawn jarts at each other and played war with pellet guns I have a hard time getting worked up over hot rubber mats.
