Boycott "House of Cards" until they pay their fair share of Maryland taxes!

The original, British version of House of Cards was much better than Kevin Spacey's adaptation.  What always bugged me about the American version was that the Uruquart character is a Democrat; even though his behavior is much more indicative of EVERY Republican president since Nixon.  Sure, LBJ was just as ruthless, but he was a Southern Demo and we all know that they became Repugs in response to the Civil Rights Act.

The reason I'm boycotting the 2nd season of House of Cards on Netflix is that the production company is swindling the Maryland people out of their tax dollars.  They got $18 million in tax cuts for season 2, and are now demanding $25 million or they will just do season 3 somewhere else.

Wow, KS, way to act like the kind of political manipulator you're portraying on-screen.  Pay you fair share for the roads, etc. your fucking movie-making depends one; stop asking poor black kids working at McD's to pay for your fucking 3 martini lunches!!!!!

Here's the latest on MA flight 370, with 239 souls aboard!

My latest theory on the missing Malaysian Airlines 777: they were diverted by the pilot as part of a CIA plot to see if adults could be conditioned to behave, or whether they would devolve into: "Lord of the Flies".

The argument against putting Fluorine in our drinking water.

Fluorine and the other halogens are in the tan column, on the right side of the periodic table.  This means they are one electron short of a complete outer shell.  If they can grab that electron from another element they will become a noble gas, like Neon etc. (noble gases don't react with anything).  They are HUNGRY, and highly reactive.  The easiest place to find that electron is Carbon, which has 4 electrons which it is very happy to share.  So any organic molecule is a ripe target for attack by F, thus, not a good idea to be drinking it in water.  I keep my drinking water in a glass jug in the fridge so the Cl can evaporate, which it does very quickly.

We are nothing but energy!

What it means is that "mass"/"matter" is just a huge amount of concentrated energy. That's how an atom bomb works, because enriched Uranium is very unstable and you can get a chain reaction going in it.

Water is more precious than gold.

Water is more precious than oil, or gas, and yet we pollute 5 million gallons of it every time we frack a well.  That toxic water is injected into the ground, where it is causing earthquakes.

Aside from being essential to life, water has amazing properties.  It is the only substance that expands when it freezes, this is due to the polarity of the H2O molecule, which assembles in predictable configurations, like in a cloud, becoming snowflakes.

Hydrogen is the first element to form in the ancient universe, after the Big Bang.  Oxygen has to be assembled in a star, which subsequently explodes, seeding space with the heavier elements from which everything we know is constructed.

Birds of a feather. Turds made of leather plop together.

This is John McCain in Ukraine, in December, with Oleh Tyahnybok, the leader of a fringe right-wing group of fascists.  OT has called for battle with "the Muscovite-Jewish mafia".  In Putin's paranoid myopia, this was the US endorsing this psycho, and thus a pretext for the Russian Army to invade Crimea and plunge us into this current crisis.

Thanks for your meddling, old man!  Maybe you should do background checks on the company you keep!

US Gov't Deficits could be eliminated tomorrow! Painlessly!

Agencies that work for the federal government spend 9%  of their budgets in the last week of their fiscal year.  They're afraid that, if they don't spend it all, their budget will get cut.  At WPAFB, they typically buy a bunch of new office furniture and throw out the stuff they bought the year before.

Ten percent!  There's your deficit right there!  How about this idea: they plow that money back and aren't penalized.  In fact, 10% of that money is randomly assigned in $2000 bonuses to some of the agencies workers.

People rush out to play Powerball; they would LOVE these odds.  I would!
