What's the point of the cartoon? That the poor are just really bad at managing their money? I mean, for what ever else you want to say, the Rich Dog is right, Lucky Ducky has chosen to spend his hard earned money on luxuries as opposed to necessities, so perhaps his status as a poor person is less the fault of the shrewd hard working dog, and more to do with Lucky and his families tendancy to put short term gain over long term stability.

It should be noted that in the past in order to get social services one had to show that they did not have a radio, and later a television, and social workers would inspect your home to ensure that you did not have other visible means of support (say like men's clothes in your closet).

It is good that we don't do this any more, but making the receipt of services more onerous does keep people from relying on it, as perhaps Lucky Ducky's family has for too long.

As to the nutrition issue, The poor tend not to eat out, and eshew large potions of solid muscle meat which are highly nutritious in favor of carbohydrate lodaded grains, and fats which are far cheaper due in part to government subsidies.

Eating vegtables is great, but hardly more nutrious than lean rare muscle meat, and far less efficient since most of what vegtibles are (cellulose) is undigestable by human beings. The real problem is that Americans (and humans around the world) over cook their meat, and eat far too many grains. Take an animal, feed it local grasses, eat the animal, and you transfer the calories and nutrients from the unusable, but sustainable grasses to you. This is far better for your health and the environment than trying to grow enough vegtibles to feed the world. Because meat is more filling far less raw tonage of meat needs to transported than to transport an equal ammount of calories transported in the form of flour, grains, vegtable oils or vegtables.

Or is broadsheet getting dumber?

Hey I know you can't have stories on voting rights and pay equality all the time, but how many of the last few stories have been fashion related?

I know it's a blog and requires regular posts, but if your going to manufacture stories and controversies, can you please manufacture stories and controversies that some how, I don't know, matter?

Thanks.

It's really really annoying!

O.k. for the record, there is no official American Language, we have a vulgar argot, loosely based on the language called english, but that incorporates various coloquial words, and standards to facilitate rapid and accurate communication between members of our highly diverse population.

Now on to the actual quote.

Umm...If I'm not mistaken, Gulliani is well liked outside of Market 1 (and actually to grand extent within Market 1). I dislike his prosocutorial approach to civil rights, but that's just me and alot (yes I said alot! it's part of the acceptable American dialect)of Americans are comfortable with such zeal in the prosecution of criminals (and those who might have been criminals according to the police).

So what's the point, Fox News likes Gulliani? Well aside from the fact that's relativly socially liberal, that's not a surprise, and such social liberalism could be a ray of hope if the dreaded Fox News is willing to overlook it. Is it that Fox News is happy to over state the love people have for it's chosen golden boys, not exactly news, and this is hardly an impressive overstatment since Gulliani is the front runner among the current crop of Republicans.

So what's the point? Why is this News? Or was the whole point that the Gramar was nonstandard?

Again, nothing makes you seem like more of a jackass (perhaps appropriatly) than correcting others mildly bad gramar.

Let's please try not to snatch defeat from the Jaws of Victory yet again.

Who was the genius who thought the best backdrop for a primary in a midwest blue collar industrial state (one of the few states where the UAW, despite having fewer members, has enough clout to still deliver an election)was a luxury resort island offering preindustrial charm and a ban on all motorized vehicles. Was Greenfield Villiage Booked?

The only advantage one can claim is that atleast by traveling (on the island) via horse drawn carriage, they are being slightly greener than usual.
