What its like to shop at Ross – The Messiest Store

THE REAL ROSS FOR LESS

Ross Dress for Less isn’t limited to the title for messiest.

 

Pretty much every Thrift store is like this and some major department stores too are cluttered and don’t have leave any appeal to shop for more than 10 minutes. Who needs more time anyway.

In Sean Hannity’s America: Vampire Subcultures Threaten Every Community

Its just like the SouthPark episode, pretty much scripted and dead on (per se). From Goth vs. Vampire comparisons, to alarmist and uninformed masses. This is America’s “news” room.

and just for comparison, the South Park Episode The Ungroundable aired 11/19/08.

Brittain’s Jobless and Just Plain Lazy

With redundancies rising and job vacancies shrinking, unemployment is back in the headlines. But forbrittain bbc millions it never went away. As part of a series on Britain’s jobless, one family explains how and why lack of work has touched their lives.

Elizabeth Malcolm, 43, has never had a job. She lives in a two-bedroom council flat in Glasgow with her three children, one grandchild, two cats and a hamster.

Neither of her two working-age children has a job.

The family is what the statistics gatherers call a "workless household" - one of three million in the country. In reality it’s not quite so easy to put every jobless person into a neat little box. This is their story.

Elizabeth, known as "Biff" to family and friends, wishes now that she had got into work or college back in 1980, when she left school at 15.

It was hardly a great time to be a jobseeker, especially living in Easterhouse, a part of Glasgow long synonymous with deprivation and unemployment. But she concedes that she doesn’t really know why she didn’t get a job, and that there was an element of just "not getting round" to it.

She doesn’t think school wanted her to stay on because she "wasn’t too bright" and used to bunk off a lot.

Without any qualifications she assumed she wasn’t able to follow her chosen path and join the Army. She never actually made it to the recruitment office to ask. Via BBCNews.

The American Conservative on George Bush 11-17-2008

When future historians argue over the legacy of George W. Bush, the question they confront may be just which bracket of presidential failure he belongs in. Nixon and Johnson? Or Herbert Hoover? President Bush earned his place in the pantheon of disgrace even before he presided over an epochal financial crisis. Absent the atrocities of 9/11, he might have been a mediocrity: a big spender too prone to trust his shallow instincts but able to clear the competence threshold and lacking the sophistication to be truly dangerous.

Then came that epic morning, which Bush answered by giving the hijackers far more than they could accomplish with four planes. His grand democratization plan reduced Iraq to rubble, drove Iran to arm, and provided terrorists with the ultimate recruiting tool. America, once renowned for her decency, became the aggressor her foes alleged.

At home, our failed attempt at global liberation has left us less free than ever before. Ancient liberties, cultural imperatives, even basic solvency were subsumed by the war effort. And the conservative movement that gave Bush his margin sanitized his radicalism at the cost of its soul.
All he touched turned to dross. Yet he departs unbowed, still a Churchill in his own mind.

Ouch, I had to re-read a couple of times to make sure it wasn’t satire or sarcasm…. The American Conservative Magazine

Who are these talking heads on 24 hour news shows?

Analyst, Consultant, Insider, Lobbyist, Strategists, Directors, and Managers. How many titles can there be? Are these people’s “opinions” blindly stated as facts considered “news” worthy? Who can remember when news was a single person for a half hour talking about the nation/world in general, and the occasional “journalistic” 3 minute spots here and there.

Todd Boulanger takes the cake.
