I don't care who you are, Fatass. Just get those reindeer off my fucking roof. - Unknown

Shaq is not the man. He's the man because the NBA wants him to be the man, but before you can be the man, you've got to be the man. -- Dennis Rodman

A fool-proof method for sculpting an elephant: first, get a huge block of marble; then you chip away everything that doesn't look like an elephant.

A witty saying proves nothing. -- Voltaire

All's well that ends.

Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm. -- Publilius Syrus

Not a lot of time to rant today.  Swamped at work.

Did you know, that since 1990, the value of CEO pay is up 298%.  It peaked around the year 2000 at 409.2%.

However, since 1990, the average production worker's pay is only up 4.3%  That's barely above yearly cost of living.

On the same note, Corporate Profits are up 106.7%.

And finally, since 1990, the S&P 500 Index is up 260.8%. 

Wow.  Not much profit sharing going on.

Is America doomed?

No, I don't think it is.  However, we are fast approaching a period where drastic change may or will be required.  What type of change?  I don't know.  It's the type of change that people cannot predict.

Will it be a violent change?  Doubtful, but one cannot rule it out.

But, change will be necessary.  I no longer have faith that my government is a government for the people.  Our government has allowed special interests and companies to dictate domestic and foreign policy for too long.

Top this for a speeding ticket

Two California Highway Patrol Officers were conducting speeding enforcement on I-15, just north of the Marine Corps Air Station at Miramar . One of the officers was using a hand held radar device to check speeding vehicles approaching the crest of a hill.

The officers were suddenly surprised when the radar gun began reading 300 miles per hour. The officer attempted to reset the radar gun, but it would not reset and then turned off.
