Anti Gravity

You don't believe in anti gravity?   Then what is it that pops the piece of trash right back up out of the trash basket?  The trash does a trampoline act and bounces out on the rug, sneering at you to bend over and pick it up?  I say it's antigravity.

The Black Community is mad about the Zimmerman verdict

I can understand where they are coming from.  Teen aged boy is shot dead.  They don't believe Zimmerman's story of self defense, even though the jury did believe it.  They just want revenge.  That's natural.  They used to declare blood feuds over less. 
  The purpose of courts and the justice system is to prevent just that.  The blood feud was still alive as recently as the Hatfields and the McCoys.   Responsible public officials are supposed to talk about the progress that has been made and to discourage violence.  
  The black community has things that anger them that go way back, back before the Civil War.  Things like slavery, poverty, lack of respect, rotten schools, and others.  A lot of these issues trotted out and attached themselves to Trayvon Martin.  Yesterday's demonstrations are partly about Zimmerman's acquittal and largely about those other issues. 
  The civil rights movement of fifty years ago addressed the legal and political side of this.  The movement had concrete policies, desegregation and voter registration that had concrete remedies in laws.  Those laws got passed, and are still in place. This ground was well covered by the end of the sixties.  Today's black leadership cannot think of anything else that could be addressed by law.  So instead they talk about "having a discussion on race", which is a code phrase meaning, "We don't have any ideas to fix things, but we are still unhappy."
  

Words of the Weasel Part 29

Revenue.  That is Democrat speak for "taxes".   "We need more revenue" sounds better than "Let's hike taxes."
Investment.  Democrat speak for "spending".   "Let's invest in our schools" sounds better than "Lets spend more money on schools."

On the Cover of the Rollin' Stone

We always knew that Rolling Stone was low life, and this week they proved it again.  They put a glamorous picture of Boston bomber Tsarnaev on the cover.  I gotta admit, he is cute, plenty of girls would like to take home a boy toy like that.  Betcha he wouldn't be on the cover if he wasn't so cute. 

This oughta teach 'em

Detroit is declaring bankruptcy.  A whole bunch of banks, and other money places loaned Detroit billions of dollars over the years to meet operating expenses.  Now they ought to loose all their money, just to make a point.
  The point?  It is irresponsible to waste precious capital lending to dead beats who won't be able pay it back.  It was perfectly clear to anyone with an IQ above room temperature, that Detroit was in a death spiral and would never be able to repay the humungous loans it took out.  The banks should not have made those loans.  Since they were stuck on stupid, and made dumbass loans, they oughta hurt for it.
   Capitalism works if capital is used constructively, to finance new factories, new products, and business operations.  If precious capital is pissed away on see-thru office buildings, Ninja mortgages,  Solyndra, mortgage backed securities, dirivatives, and credit default swaps, ethanol, and electric cars, we all get poorer.
  Let's hope the loan officers responsible for lending to Detroit get fired.

Distractions. Nutrition labels on booze

The Feds are talking up a plan to require nutrition labels on booze, (beer, wine, liquor).  Right, that will solve the obesity crisis.  Everyone knows that alcohol is fattening, and not nutritious.  Beer is beer, wine is wine, and liquor is liquor.   There is no difference between brands, it's the alcohol that does the fattening.  Alcohol is a fine fuel, lots of calories. Tasty too.
   I figure this is a ploy to distract the newsies from things like IRS and Benghazi. 

Whitey Bulger.

A witness in the Whitey Bulger trial turned up dead out in Lincoln.  What is a Southie guy doing out in Lincoln?  Lincoln is a tony, pricey, white bread suburb far outside Rte 128.  The T doesn't run there.  You gotta drive to get to Lincoln.  Mobsters don't retire to Lincoln after they have made their pile.  They settle in places like Melrose and Malden. 
   So if this stiff drove out to Lincoln and died of natural causes, or suicide, where is his car?  If he drove out to Lincoln in a friend's car, surely a friend would not just dump the body by the side of the road.  At least anyone who would do that ain't much of a friend. 
   One the other hand,  friends of Whitey's might take the dead man for a ride, and  Lincoln is as good a place to dump a body as anywhere. 
  Color this death highly suspicious.
