Keep your eye on

Land transfer taxes. My own state is poised to fire off a new land transfer tax of 1% right at the time values are flattening out BECAUSE they are flattening out and sales and down. Statewide that averages another $2,700 per sale out of the seller's pocket.

Put a bullet in his head

Seriously, someone please shoot that guy in the face.

Get someone else to break his legs

That's really what you're looking for, isn't it? For $50 I'm sure you could get someone to fuck him up but good. Problem goes away.

Oh please no

We'd never the end of your complaining. Thanks but no. Dying sooner would be a blessing.

So David Halberstam is in the news

Did you know he won his Pulitzer in 64 for writing the ugly truth about Viet Nam. Now when did the US leave? Nine years later. Don't overestimate the power of the press.

Again though

Lofty ideals and wonderful execution. Yet, and yet Halberstam arrived in Viet Nam in 62, received the Pulizer in 64 and the US didn't leave until 73. The power of the press may be overblown in terms of the distance between what they do and what they effect. We shouldn't get too wrapped around a pole over the media's lame non attempts to effect something here.

Too late?

Yeah, kinda. Grow up. As the great Athenian philosopher Mediocrates said, "Aim low, ya can't miss."

So I was watching "Garden State"

And I realized I was watching a coming of age story of people who are nearly 30. That's when I stopped paying attention to anything you precious fuckwits had to say about anything. You don't like people who get mad? Fine. Now go play duck duck goose somewhere else.

Calling Mrs. Risperdal

Laura. Please put down the knife. You are in desperate need of help.

And by the way

The fact that you didn't give your brat a splash of cold water once in a while is why s/he is a whiny bitch now. S/He in fact is not the center of the world and pity's the sake no one straightened them out on that point a long time ago. Because now it's too late and s/he is an irritating narcissistic asshole. Any 12 year old who claims that your yelling at them made them a twisted tattooed pierced sleeping around pothead is yanking your chain.

I really don't care either way

But just be clear. Every time I hear one of these innane logic puzzles about who is allowed what kind of hate speech I just respect everyone a little bit less. I just want to get that out there.

I would imagine that Nathan Hale has been misquoted for 231 years

What he said was probably more along the lines of "Go fuck yourselves you redcoat bastards, kiss my ass in hell."

But that doesn't make a nice patriotic story, does it?

Kinda sucks

Enlist smarter next time.

You are a whiny bunch of navel gazers, aren't you?

You should protest every play by O'Neill, Ibsen, Strindberg or Chekov since they portray angry disfunctional families too. We can't have that, it might make your little princess go out and suck cock for tattoo money.
