I feel like one problem with my political commentary throughout my life has been that I just haven't reached my complete potential as a fuming a-hole. I intend to work on that.

Yeah, I am surprised I am not facing murder charges yet. That said, I will tell everyone who will listen how proud of myself, that way I will keep with it. I am not too far in yet, but I am further than I was yesterday.

Strangely one thing that helped me quit was teeth whitening kits. I'm too cheap to let those overpriced things go to waste.

to some degree he's right, but isn't the argument that those financially successful pay absurdly outsized taxes for those benefits that America provides, even though it provides the same benefits for all of us?

I mean where would he be without affirmative action?

Beautifully done.

Or we could just ask him what government by the people for the people means....unless he wants to go all Al Gore on us and convince us that he invented government.

They played the entire speech, but it came

If you ever read the twitter feed on Msnbc the hate those people have for republicans is actually scary.

I'm starting a business in a building that was foreclosed on last year. I got it for a steal. My office equipment was bought at a liquidation sale for pennies on the dollar.

Thank you, government.
