I'm pleased you're not one of the 9% unemployed or the 6% who've been unemployed for over a year. Seriously
Pew Memorial Trust.
Nearly 32% of the 14 million Americans who are unemployed have been out of work for more than a year, according to data from the Pew Charitable Trusts. More than 43% of unemployed workers older than 55 have been out of work for at least a year, according to the study.

The $8 million prehistoric iPad
British designer Stuart Hughes, famous for super-luxury devices, has crafted a diamond-and-bone-encrusted iPad.
By Kim Peterson on Thu, Nov 3, 2011 2:27 PM
Stuart Hughes has taken ridiculous luxury to a new level with his latest iPad.
The designer, known for blinging up iPhones and other devices, has come out with a new iPad that contains shavings from the thigh bone of a 65 million-year-old Tyrannosaurus Rex. I'm pretty sure Hughes is the only person in the world who could have thought this one up.
The Tyranno-pad comes with a hefty price tag: 5 million British pounds, or about $8 million.
Like other devices made by Hughes, this one is also heavy on the gold and diamonds. The back is covered with 4.4 pounds of solid gold. The Apple logo is formed with 53 diamonds.
How can the ninety-nine whine just cause the ones got it so fine?
I just gotsta get one a doz.

So the OWS are just lazy, humanities folks who want a hand out from the productive people.
And the Tea Partiers don't care about the size of govt. they just don't want to pay any taxes.
All OWS are dirty commies.
All Tea Partiers are racist homophobes.
Right??
Because if you are going to believe everyone is bad on one side you gotta believe everyone is bad on the other side.

Because if you are going to believe everyone is bad on one side you gotta believe everyone is bad on the other side. Nope! The Tea Baggers and moral "majority" (I'm dating myself using that term) have God on their side. Well, at least the Christian God. The Muslim, Hindu and Buddhist gods need not apply.

So you consider the election of a rabid pack of ravenous weasels who, devoid of a clue regarding governance, then proceed to cripple the economic recovery of the nation in an act of blatant obstructionism, as an achievement?
Dude why do you hate America?

are motorcycle riders mostly red state or blue state?
not easy riders, i mean like motocross and flat track guys, like dick mann and gary nixon and mert lawell? kelly slater?
Mert Lawwill is an American dirt-track and road racer, born on September 25, 1940 in Boise, Idaho.
He started his racing career as an amateur racer on the local TT track in Boise and, later, scramble races across the United States Northwest .
He turned professional in 1963 after moving to California and, in 1964, signed a contract to race dirt-track for manufacturer Harley-Davidson, with which he would stay for the rest of his racing career. He won his first AMA national race at the famous Sacramento Mile on September 19, 1965.
He won the 1969 A.M.A. Grand National Championship and was voted AMA's Most Popular Rider of the Year the same year. His popularity earned him a co-starring role in Bruce Brown's classic 1971 motorcycle epic, On Any Sunday with actor Steve McQueen, and off-road legend Malcolm Smith.
This film revealed Mert Lawwill's talents as a technician but unfortunately showcased a series of "DNFs".
But by the time he retired in 1977, due to an inner-ear disorder that affected his balance, he had amassed an incredible 161 career AMA Grand National finishes during his 15-year racing career.
He is now spending his time developing race motorcycles as well as mountain bikes. He also developed a prosthetic to allow arm amputees to ride a motorcycle.
He was inducted in the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1998.

so, joe owser had a good teaching job in nyc; but joe owser felt the job was too hard (big classes, overbearing bureaucracy, yada, yada, yada); so joe owser quit his full time job ("a few years ago"--i.e. when indicators clearly pointed to a downturn in the economy) to pursue a masters degree...in PUPPETRY; joe owser graduates with $35,000 in loans and a completely useless degree and must settle for a job as a "full time substitute" in nyc schools for half his original salary, which, need i remind you, he GAVE UP VOLUNTARILY; joe owser then decides to join the owsers where he has the opportunity to pursue his passion--WITHOUT PAY--making puppets and, apparently, demanding that we--the 57%--pay for his loans rather than spending all this free time LOOKING FOR WORK

As you might say, boo-fing-hoo.

So Donald if the typical "fleabagger" is an anti-capitalist who "deserves" a job, not a WWII vet that is against growing corporate greed and rising social inequality. Then "typical" Tea Baggers must be racist, homophobes, who want no "socialist" public education, fire, and police. Is that what you want? Or is it that like most "typical" right wingers you want a religious state like Iran, except of course your flavor of Christianity not Islam.
Why is that so many right wingers can't speak to the true positions of the center and left and must paint everyone not a conservative as a socialist/commie? They must love the visible radical lefties, because then they can claim everyone who doesn't agree with them is a radical left winger. Is it stupidity, cowardice, or do they know what they are doing?
Thankfully they are the minority. Unfortunately they have way too much say in the political process. They drive the Republicans too far right (with their talk of rinos etc.) so the republicans that get thru the primaries are fools who either can't get elected or screw things up royally once elected. Good job!
