pollyannaish Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hahaha! We had one Of those in our town for awhile. One time, When Pollyson was a freshman in Highschool we drove through on a holiday when no one else was open. My son commented "I think you could get a disease from just buying coffee there." They went, uh, belly up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollyannaish Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 It is. I always worry that young girls will think it's like Pretty Woman and that some rich guy will come by and take her away from it all. A very cruel dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Noah RothmanJanuary 28th, 2014 On Tuesday, NBC News Chief Foreign Correspondent and MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell offered her… unique perspective on America’s relationship with the Islamic Republic of Iran. While discussing the most impactful States of the Union addresses in recent decades, she bestowed the honor of most important on George W. Bush’s 2002 address. It was, however, a dubious distinction because that famous speech in which Bush coined the term “Axis of Evil,” Mitchell said, alienated our “ally” in Iran and paved the way for rocky relations even to this day. Oddly, none of Mitchell’s guests disagreed with this obviously flawed assertion – .....(Snip) ____________________________________________________________________________ Just when you think Andrea Mitchell can't get any dumber...she goes and proves me wrong.

NCTexan Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Our government workers at work here in NC. NC Department of Social Services Worker Fired After Child Found Cuffed To Porch With Dead Chicken Around NeckMONROE, N.C. (AP) - Union County social services officials have fired the woman accused after an 11-year-old boy was found by a sheriff's deputy handcuffed to his front porch with a dead chicken tied to his neck. The Charlotte Observer reports the county fired Wanda Sue Larson on Friday, accusing her of what it called "unacceptable personal conduct and grossly inefficient job performance."Larson and Dorian Lee Harper were arrested last Friday after the deputy found the boy. The couple had adopted four kids and were foster parents to the boy. I guess you work with what you have at hand... This was from a couple weeks ago.

SrWoodchuck Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 From the Feral Irishman: THE NEW ANT and the Grasshopper, Two Versions: **** OLD VERSION The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold. MORAL OF THE OLD STORY: Be responsible for yourself ! **** MODERN VERSION The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving. CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so? Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green'. Occupy the Anthill stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the SEIU group singing, We Shall Overcome. Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright has the group kneel down to pray for the grasshopper's sake, while he damns the ants. President Obama condemns the ant and blames President Bush 43, President Bush 41, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the Pope for the grasshopper's plight. Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share. Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti‑Ant Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the GovernmentGreen Czar and given to the grasshopper. The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it. The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again. The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and peaceful, neighborhood. The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it. MORAL OF THIS VERSION: Be careful how you vote in 2014 and 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
