a new national holiday

(top-posted til tax day. scroll down for new posts)

Since it's been over 400 years since the probable origin of April Fools' Day, I suggest that it be replaced with:

Keynes' Fools Day 

to be enacted just as soon as America recovers from the Obama Stimulus Disaster and Depression.

 I also suggest it should be celebrated exactly two weeks after the old date of April 1st...

xkcd has even worse valentines' ideas than i've had before

but we can't blame the obama administration for this one...

yet...

Even more sad than (the putrid slugfest of rino debates viewed through lsm lenses) is having to watch the Republican faithful as, once more, they play the Battered Bride, talking themselves into the belief that a liberty-fearing Massachusetts patrician won't be so bad, not really, I mean, at least he's not a Democrat, right? (Got news for ya, kids: in Indiana or elsewhere in flyover country, he probably would be).

the truth will come out

SOPA

Unlike some other sites, this blog is just too important to shut down in protest  :D  , but here's a quote about (yet another) really bad piece of proposed legislation:

(SOPA) is like shutting down a freeway because a car got stolen.

not MLK's day

which is worse: that martin luther king jr's "dream" has devolved into a "society" of gangsta-rappin-pimps-n-hos, or that somebody designed a poster showing how bad things have gotten?

that stopped clock

got one thing right

art

painting is alive and well

And it will no longer manufacture Imperial Pure Cane Sugar Dr Pepper at its bottling plant.
