How do you tip strippers with coins?

And the U.S. has had several dollar coins over the years. None of them caught on. Because of the stripper thing, I assume.

Even if it was OK to tip a stripper with dollar coins, it would be kind of messed up to be paying naked women with Susan B. Anthony and Sacajawea dollars.

Wasn't there a thing a few years back where they were gonna change them to be color coded (red, blue, and so on), and change the size of all the different notes? I remember seeing a thing on a front page news post at one point where they were gonna have monuments and government landmarks instead of presidents. But Obama would be on one.

Oh, and just so I have something to reference, Chris Brown said the words, and I quote, "Y'all can suck a fart out of my rear end". So if I ever use those words, possibly photoshopped in underneath an image, remember--CHRIS BROWN SAID IT. I'm just referencing the real world.

Roger Ebert reviews a Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo

Roger Ebert posted:

The movie created a spot of controversy last February. According to a story by Larry Carroll of MTV News, Rob Schneider took offense when Patrick Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times listed this year's Best Picture Nominees and wrote that they were "ignored, unloved and turned down flat by most of the same studios that ... bankroll hundreds of sequels, including a follow-up to 'Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo,' a film that was sadly overlooked at Oscar time because apparently nobody had the foresight to invent a category for Best Running Penis Joke Delivered by a Third-Rate Comic."

Schneider retaliated by attacking Goldstein in full-page ads in Daily Variety and the Hollywood Reporter. In an open letter to Goldstein, Schneider wrote: "Well, Mr. Goldstein, I decided to do some research to find out what awards you have won. I went online and found that you have won nothing. Absolutely nothing. No journalistic awards of any kind ... Maybe you didn't win a Pulitzer Prize because they haven't invented a category for Best Third-Rate, Unfunny Pompous Reporter Who's Never Been Acknowledged by His Peers."

Reading this, I was about to observe that Schneider can dish it out but he can't take it. Then I found he's not so good at dishing it out, either. I went online and found that Patrick Goldstein has won a National Headliner Award, a Los Angeles Press Club Award, a RockCritics.com award, and the Publicists' Guild award for lifetime achievement.

Schneider was nominated for a 2000 Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actor, but lost to Jar-Jar Binks.

But Schneider is correct, and Patrick Goldstein has not yet won a Pulitzer Prize. Therefore, Goldstein is not qualified to complain that Columbia financed "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo" while passing on the opportunity to participate in "Million Dollar Baby," "Ray," "The Aviator," "Sideways" and "Finding Neverland." As chance would have it, I have won the Pulitzer Prize, and so I am qualified. Speaking in my official capacity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Schneider, your movie sucks.

Sure sacajawea would be fine with it since she was a prostitute who was included on the expedition for the sole purpose of servicing the men

This seems unlikely, as she was married (to a white man) before the start of the journey, and her husband and infant child also accompanied the expedition. Also, because while the detailed journals of Lewis and Clark fail to mention her prostituting herself, they do in fact mention her work as an interpreter and a guide.

It's possible you are referring to how she was referred to as a "squar," which in the Algonquian language did mean prostitute. However, outside the Algonquian people, the word was used to refer to Indian women in general, and it was in this usage that Lewis and Clark (who did not speak Algonquian) referred to her as such.

American taxpayers funded a company to drive empty trucks into warzones so that company could earn more money.

In the early years of the second Iraq War, a private company deliberately sent flatbed trucks through dangerous territories with US military escorts, shipping what was jokingly referred to as "sailboat fuel".

All so that this private company could get more government contract money by raising the frequency of their operations.*†

http://www.forbes.com/2008/06/05/outsourcing-army-halliburton-tech-cx_ps_logistics08_0605outsource.html

You can google "sailboat fuel" and Iraq for more articles.

*(And so that more trucks would blow up, and the government would have to purchase more.)
†((And so that more US soldiers would die, fostering Arab hatred, strengthening our resolve to see the mission accomplished, further embroiling the US in the war.))
