— Ace This is from two years ago, when Piers Morgan's show debuted, but it's funny, funny because it's true.
The narcissism riff is good, too.
Speaking of Gun Control Dummies: Biden says he's still "pushing" for that assault weapon ban that he's given up on.

This could be said for Piers Morgan, Lena Dunham or Andrew Cuomo, but they all need flash cards to remind them to breathe.
I know how un-cool it is to reference Ayn Rand at AoS, but it feels as if we are living out the last part of "Atlas Shrugs".
All we really need are very visible and other not so visible key people in the country (and they all number in the tens of thousands, tops) to just drop out of the workforce, and watch things grind to a halt.

Not so my wife, but it may come to the day when I finally pull out the cable. Especially since our local cable provider just got bought out by Time-Warner.

Interesting thing about the term "limey." According to my mother, when she was growing up in England the term "limey" was only used to refer to people from a specific section of England; I suspect one of the port cities, like Dover or Portsmouth, because of its association with British sailors and scurvy. I can't remember specifically. But in the rest of the world it's turned into a term for a Brit in general, especially from England. It's rather like how the term "yankee" means something different depending on who is saying it and where.
I love wordy stuff like that.
Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled bashing of the idiot named after a dock and a breed of small horse.

Just saw the new headline flash up on Drudge:
Time Running Out
Which goes to the following Reuters story:
EU gives Cyprus bailout ultimatum, risks euro exit
(Reuters) - The European Union gave Cyprus till Monday to raise the billions of euros it needs to secure an international bailout or face a collapse of its financial system that could push it out of the euro currency zone.
In stark twin warnings on Thursday, the European Central Bank said it would cut off liquidity to Cypriot banks and a senior EU official made clear to Reuters that the bloc was ready to see the bankrupt island banished from the euro in the belief it could then contain damage to the wider European economy.
The ECB ultimatum came as the island's leaders struggled to craft a "Plan B" to raise the 5.8-billion euro contribution demanded by the EU in return for a 10-billion euro ($13-billion) bailout from the EU and IMF; angry Cypriot lawmakers threw out a tax on deposits, calling the EU-backed proposal "bank robbery".
In a mark of strained relations and confusion, euro zone officials conceded during a conference call on the crisis which Cyprus failed even to join that the situation was "in a mess"...
That last bit of bold text is my emphasis.
So they've got till Monday. Who wants to lay odds that those bank accounts are going to be getting that haircut after all?

I believe that "redneck" was originally a reference to the red scarves worn by the Covenanters, the Presbyerian dudes that reacted to Charles' I attempts to force the Book of Common Prayer on them by walloping an English amy and then camping outside London and demanding money to go away. They got their money, but Charles had to reconvene Parlaiment for the first time in over a decade, and they were not happy with him...

One of the things I've found myself saying a lot in the past few years is, "Remember: bad things happen when you fuck with Germans and their money." The post WWI economic pit that Germany fell into because of all they had to pay back to the rest of Europe made the field ripe for a charismatic leader to rally them up and set them loose again.

Lots of Foreign Money INVESTED IN GREEK BONDS. When the greek banks were bailed out, there bondholders including the Cypriot banks took a haircut down to their chest. The Cyprus banks are insolvent mostly due to bad investments in Greek Banks.
And when the Euro implodes, you will see the same here in the US with our banks and investment houses. It will be ugly.

The Krauts are still guilt-ridden over WWII, so they do everything to be obsequious and suck up to the respectable world and hope to be let back in. Otoh, they're also the only ones in Europe who do any work, so they're the daddy everyone runs to for their allowance. And Germany keeps paying, hoping that someday they'll have bought the taint off themselves.
Which isn't going to happen and they're getting a little sick of it and now someone's saying "Onkel Kraut, someone broke Cyprus and I need a zillion euro to fix it!" And Onkel Kraut is finally ready to say "fuck it, sell it to the Russians".

A women was pregnant with triplets.
One day she goes into this bank as it was being held up. She gets shot 3 times in her stomach, but luckily she lives.
She goes to the doctor who tells her her children will be all right, one day the bullets will come out.
So 13 years later, one triplet, a girl, runs out of the bathroom and says "MOM, MOM, I WAS GOING TO THE BATHROOM AND A BULLET CAME OUT!" So the mother tells her the story.
The next day the second daughter comes out and says the same thing, "MOM, I WAS GOING TO THE BATHOOM AND A BULLET CAME OUT!"
On the third day the son comes out and says "MOM, MOM!" she goes "Let me guess, you were going to the bathroom and a bullet came out?" he replies "No, I was jerking off and I shot the dog!"
