When I was 14, I hoped that one day I would have a girlfriend.

When I was 16 I got a girlfriend, but there was no passion, so I decided I needed a passionate girl with a zest for life.

In college I dated a passionate girl, but she was too emotional. Everything was an emergency; she was a drama queen, cried all the time and threatened suicide. So I decided I needed a girl with stability.

When I was 25 I found a very stable girl but she was boring. She was totally predictable and never got excited about anything. Life became so dull that I decided that I needed a girl with some excitement.

When I was 28 I found an exciting girl, but I couldn’t keep up with her. She rushed from one thing to another, never settling on anything. She did mad impetuous things and made me miserable as often as happy. She was great fun initially and very energetic, but directionless. So I decided to find a girl with some real ambition.

When I turned 31, I found a smart ambitious girl with her feet planted firmly on the ground and married her. She was so ambitious that she divorced me and took everything I owned.

I am older and wiser now, and am looking for a girl with big tits.

The Bible must be either 100% true or 100% false.
The Bible says the Earth is was created by God in 4004 BC.

Ten Commandments of Evolution/Atheism:
Thou shalt have no theories before me, for they are pseudoscience.

Thou shalt adapt and overcome problems.
Thou shalt live in harmony with thy fellow beings.
Thou shalt not overproduce.
Thou shalt not genocide other creatures.
Thou shalt be intelligent and not gullible.
Thou shalt live only a short time, and better creatures shall take thy place.

Thou shalt not make the world inhospitable for other creatures.

This is what News Outlets do here in America.

Being rated "number 1" doesn’t make your product good, just popular.

Britney Spears, Jonas Brothers, Kelly Clarkson, are pop stars for the same reason. and of course, the TRUTH is NEVER popular.

Dear Mr. Limbaugh,
The Associated Press reports your new contract with Premiere Radio Networks will enrich you with at least $38 million a year over the next eight years. You are making this money on the public property of the American people for which you pay no rent.

You, Rush Limbaugh, are on welfare.

As you know, the public airwaves belong to the American people. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is supposed to be our trustee in managing this property. The people are the landlords and the radio and TV stations and affiliated companies are the tenants.

The problem is that since the Radio Act of 1927 these corporate tenants have been massively more powerful in Washington, DC than the tens of millions of listeners and viewers. The result has been no payment of rent by the stations for the value of their license to broadcast. You and your company are using the public’s valuable property for free. This freeloading on the backs of the American people is called corporate welfare.

It is way past due for the super-rich capitalist–Rush Limbaugh from Cape Girardeau, Missouri–to get himself off big time welfare. It is way past due for Rush Limbaugh as the Kingboy of corporatist radio to set a capitalist example for his peers and pay rent to the American people for the very lucrative use of their property.

You need not wait for the broadcast industry-indentured FCC and Congress to do the right thing. You can lead by paying a voluntary rent–determined by a reputable appraisal organization–for the time you use on the hundreds of stations that carry your words each weekday.
Payment of rent for the use of public airwaves owned by the American people is the conservative position. Real conservatives oppose corporate welfare. Real corporatists feed voraciously from hundreds of billions of dollars in corporate welfare gushing out of Washington, DC yearly.
Whose side are you on? Freeloading? Or paying rent for the public property you have been using free for many years?

I look forward to your response.

Sincerely yours,
Ralph Nader

We all know the impact that the current economic slowdown has had on Circuit City, but the question over what ultimate impact Circuit City’s collapse will have on the economy will take a little longer to figure out. One thing is for sure, the company’s collapse could not have come at a worse time for the overall economy.

The first ripple that the market is going to feel is the vacancies that the company is going to leave in its wake after closing its doors. The company was operating 567 stores at the time it announced it was going under, and these stores represented a total square footage of 18.71 million square feet.

The real estate market is fragile enough at this time, and adding this much unused property to the mix is not going to help things out. Shopping centers that are already feeling the impact of a slowdown in consumer spending are going to be hit with less rental income at a time when every penny counts.

But the ripple effect is only beginning at this point.
The country is dealing with a sharp rise in unemployment over the past year, and Circuit City is about to unleash a massive amount of workers into an already fragile workforce. The company employed roughly 40,000 workers that are going to be looking for new work, and this is on top of an additional 7,000 employees that the company was forced to lay off during 2008.
What impact will all these workers losing their jobs have on the economy is tough to say. We already know that they are increasing an already rising unemployment situation, but it goes deeper than that. What percentage of these people are going to find themselves behind on their bills, mortgages, credit cards, etc.? This would create even further pressure on the housing market and the credit markets.
The company’s suppliers are also going to take a hit. Companies such as Hewlett Packard (NYSE: HPQ), Samsung and Sony (NYSE: SNE) are just a few that will find it hard to collect monies owed to them. The company owes Hewlett Packard $120 million, Samasung $115 million and Sony $60 million. While these companies are big enough and diverse enough to deal with these losses, all of these companies have been dealing with tough times of their own, and this will definitely not help the situation. continued at BloggingStocks.
