Cleopatra or Marilyn Monroe?

A blast from the past (article dates to late 2000):

The Community Reinvestment Act funnels billions to left-wing activists, while threatening to destabilize lower-middle-class neighborhoods.

...

Looking into the future gives further cause for concern: "The bulk of these loans," notes a Federal Reserve economist, "have been made during a period in which we have not experienced an economic downturn." The Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America's own success stories make you wonder how much CRA-related carnage will result when the economy cools.

I always enjoy comparing Amy's science-based relationship advice to advice handed down by others.

10 Things Every Woman Should Demand From A Man

Now with more Safe Space!™

A victim of socialism lectures Sanders supporters on what its' really like to live in a socialist society.

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2016/03/a_dose_of_reality_about_socialism_for_sanders_supporters.html

"I'm enjoying the irony of American Sanders supporters lecturing me, a former Soviet citizen, on the glories of Socialism and what it really means! Socialism sounds great in speech soundbites and on Facebook, but please keep it there. In practice, it corrodes not only the economy but the human spirit itself, and the ambition and achievement that made modern capitalism possible and brought billions of people out of poverty. Talking about Socialism is a huge luxury, a luxury that was paid for by the successes of capitalism. Income inequality is a huge problem, absolutely. But the idea that the solution is more government, more regulation, more debt, and less risk is dangerously absurd." ~ Garry Kasparov

Kasparov opines on what America has contributed to the world and wonders what will happen when there is no more America:

"Yes, please take Scandinavia as an example! Implementing some socialistic elements AFTER becoming a wealthy capitalist economy only works as long as you don't choke off what made you wealthy to begin with in the process. Again, it's a luxury item that shouldn't be confused with what is really doing the work, as many do. And do not forget that nearly all of the countless 20th-century innovations and industries that made the rest of the developed world so efficient and comfortable came from America, and it wasn't a coincidence. As long as Europe had America taking risks, investing ambitiously, and yes, being 'inequal,' it had the luxury of benefiting from the results without making the same sacrifices. Who will be America's America?" ~ Garry Kasparov

The locution "science-based" is embarrassing.

It's fake sophistication... The corpse of a thing dressed up for Sunday and brought into town on a school night. Science is happily busy defending itself and ought not have its name spread promiscuously. It doesn't need cheerleaders in tight sweaters... And if it comes to you second hand, it doesn't count anyway.

"Science!"

-"Based!"

Be sciency, and base stuff on it!

Crid, what's your alternative?

Live without pretension.

Also, I meant to post this about a thousand miles ago, but apparently bungled it. (Inflight wifi is the blessing that allows for prompt correction of these errors.)

Fuck the TSA. Fuck those high-school-dropout, lazy fat-asses. Fuck them with sticks. Fuck their torpid little skulls, fuck their repugnant uniforms, and fuck their shitheel little brains.

And fuck ANYONE who thought this was a good idea. Fuck ANYONE who thinks this is making anybody safer.

Seriously, these overweight, illiterate tardfarts are some of the shabbiest people in our culture. We've given them jobs, bennies, uniforms and authority...

Why?

Many are young. They'll be sucking federal teat for decades.

Why?

(I originally had farttards instead of tardfarts, but the two t's together seemed harder to read. Was it the right call? Let me know... The purpose was to offend the TSA, not the mentally retarded or the indigestive.)

Crid, I've flown a bunch recently too. I'm with you on that. I don't know where you've been or what airports you've been through, but have you noticed: Having "TSA Pre" status doesn't do a lot of good anymore, because in most airports you go in, the "pre" line is never open.

We've given them jobs, bennies, uniforms and authority...

And unions to ensure they'll be employed forever.

Hyphenate? Fart-tards.

CD: In Indiana, witless, demeaning sarcasm seems to be their special gift. This was a surprise, because earlier this year Phoenix had seemed to claim that as their own special contribution to the form. But the Hoosiers have a special tone of voice which promises an annoying spring time!

Coney: Outstanding point re: union representation of the poor, oppressed masses.

And Good Christ, those fuckers are massive.

Ha, I've been through Phoenix a bunch lately, and I know what you mean. Plus the fact that the dipshits only have one lane open on a Friday evening.

Because you really really wanted to know...

Most searched-for porn terms, state by state. (SFW, I promise)

What are you *doing* in there, Little Rhody?

It's sad to note that the abuse had been going on for months.

I mean where are the feminists when you need them to help you wrap him up when he's passed out and bang on him w/your cast iron pan.

(Either that or back over him 45 times accidentally.)

"It's fake sophistication"

Well, yes.

But it matches my tuxedo.

Your daily chemtrail link: check out this short video at http://geoengineeringwatch.org/total-climate-control-captured-on-radar. This shows how powerful microwaving spins storm systems in circles, making sure they don't drop any water on parched CA. The proof of the microwaving is the perfect right-angle blockage over the eastern Pacific, deflecting storms to the north.

THIS should send chills up your spine-- massive weather control over the East Coast: http://ow.ly/YYDPK. The explanation is a little strained-- microwaves make a better reason these clouds are so regular.

Is "moon-barking" one word or two?

Jefe, your trolling skills are awesome.

Awesome!

This guy is real? A demonic cabal has taken control of our weather.

How can I tell the difference between a regular contrail and a "chemtrail"?

The other day, my Ninja left a trail as I zipped down the road. It was only 35°F, and of course the exhaust was visible. I want to be sure I'm not turning the neighbors into zombies ahead of schedule!

Hey, wait! --- Catalytic converters! Wow!

FORGET airliners! I can introduce this stuff at STREET level, RIGHT WHERE PEOPLE BREATHE, and it doesn't have to go through an engine and cause reliability problems!

THAT'S why Californians are going nuts!

Shutup Rad!!! You aren't supposed to tell them why the gas is so expensive. The chemicals haven't taken hold yet. (At least not fully)

But seriously, did you think Hollywood was going to pay for that many extras in the Walking Dead movie? Not when you can get them to pay for the privilege all on their own.
