  1. What Could Possible Go Wrong? on Two New Fed GPS Trackers Found On SUV · · Score: 1

    I just happen to see something strange attached to my property. I take this object and put it on, um, the rear end of a brass statue. Because my life has alot of unemployed time, I wonder off somewhere and get out my digital camera and start clicking pictures of anyone who happens by to maybe take this strange object for their own, personal?, needs.

    Question. Would watching anyone fondling the rear end of a statue go viral on YouTube?

  2. Re:Americans fear their government on Two New Fed GPS Trackers Found On SUV · · Score: 1

    I don't see any evidence of fear, but I am viewing a lot of folks being pissed, and getting more so. Another personal observation is about 1 million trained insurgent/terrorist killers coming home to 9%+ unemployment. I don't think not creating jobs for these folks shows any concept for comprehending elementary history.

    I believe "Hedge Fund Department" would make BOFA more inclusive, because WF, CITI, and CHASE seem to have equal powers.

    To many connections the King George the 3rd. How about the "Department of Machs?" This would communicate well in a world that measures using units of "E."

    Maybe something more politically correct? How about "Department of Toxic Waste Department?"

    The DHS name has inspired cowardice, and when America needed its government department's help the most? It, and its thoughtless leader had better things to do. Hard? It's public record.

  9. Re:...stuff they see on the Science Channel. on Why Do So Many College Science Majors Drop Out? · · Score: 1

    How about a TV show that shows that by allowing corporations to flood American markets with little or no accountability? My favorite one is when World Savings decided to be the bank of choice for the drug cartel; classic.

    President Obama and industry groups have called on colleges to graduate 10,000 more engineers a year

    Well, when "industry groups" are allowed to flood American markets with outsourcing, and manufactured products; one can only assume that the learning centers will be in places outside of the U.S.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Secretary: Mr. President, here is today's status on Pakistan, status is medium, nothing new.
    Mr. President: Thank you, hopefully negotiations will work out better this time.
    Secretary: Here is the status on bailing out Greece, status is low, predictable trends.
    Mr. President: Good, anything else?
    Secretary: Justin Beaver appears to be a father.
    Mr. President: What!?

    I think the Judge would have to reach down deep and grow a pair for that. But I'd watch the court room interaction on Pay-Per-View anytime DHS is on the carpet for their nonsense.

    I'm no fan of the TSA; my opinion is that their usefulness has passed, and they know it. But as to what OTHER sovereign states do to their citizens, it's a rear day when I find myself thinking, "we should do that here in the U.S."

    As for using the term

    commie bastards

    , the current term is "Pithedic Commie Bastards.", or one can use the acronym PCB. Update databases, if required.

    It is poor decision making to mock a person that has lost, or losing their job to automation. People generally take pride in their craft. One of the major problems that Consumers are facing is that business can change contracts on a whim, for example Sprint. It would cost me $200, per line to cancel my contract with them, but come January 1, Sprint can change its contract with me, before the expiration date. And I have to suck it up. Ask for a raise? Get another Job that pays more? Change Cell Phone Vendors? How about the P.U.C. saying to Sprint, "No", one cannot break a promise without paying for damages. That's the major reason Consumers are getting more and more upset.
