Ronald Reagan moved in next door to the Beverly Hillbillies but had the address of 666 St. Cloud Road changed in city records to 668 because the mark of the beast scared him

The USPS never acknowledged the number changed

He played hooky but his daddy had connections so nothing came of it.

Chad George Bush doesnt even bother showing up to work, gets off scot-free. Virgin John McCain diligently shows up to training and still knocks out Spanish power grids through sheer incompetence.

quote:

All these “socialists” since Colins have this much in common that they leave wage labour and therefore capitalist production in existence and try to bamboozle themselves or the world into believing that if ground rent were transformed into a state tax all the evils of capitalist production would disappear of themselves. The whole thing is therefore simply an attempt, decked out with socialism, to save capitalist domination and indeed to establish it afresh on an even wider basis than its present one.

This cloven hoof (at the same time rear end’s hoof) is also unmistakably revealed in the declamations of Henry George. And it is the more unpardonable in him because he ought to have put the question to himself in just the opposite way: How did it happen that in the United States, where, relatively, that is in comparison with civilised Europe, the land was accessible to the great mass of the people and to a certain degree (again relatively) still is, capitalist economy and the corresponding enslavement of the working class have developed more rapidly and shamelessly than in any other country!

On the other hand George’s book, like the sensation it has made with you, is significant because it is a first, if unsuccessful, attempt at emancipation from the orthodox political economy.

H. George does not seem, for the rest, to know anything about the history of the early American anti-renters, who were rather practical men than theoretical. Otherwise he is a talented writer (with a talent for Yankee advertisement too) as his article on California in the Atlantic proves, for instance. He also has the repulsive presumption and arrogance which is displayed by all panacea-mongers without exception.

McCain was held up as the ultimate honorable serviceman but in reality he was the ultimate spoiled failson he is the boomer generation summed up.

He was born during the interwar period, by definition he can't be a boomer!

Remember when people treated Gen X as a different generation than boomers? lol

not really a weird setup. 3 out of 5 sedans I've ever owned could have the back seat lay down so you can put things larger than the dimensions of the trunk alone in the combined space. most of em had some way to open and/or close the trunk from inside the trunk too. that's part of what was so scary about those guys, there's really nothing stopping copycats cuz their methodology only really required some admittedly specific but overall pretty standard car features.

I’m trying to think of a car with trunk that I’ve seen recently in which lying prone in the trunk and back seat wouldn’t result in your shot being blocked by the lower lip of the trunk. so far, no dice!

With the removal, in 2005, of the requirement of a higher level of violence from the law of Tennessee, which now allows for marital rape in Tennessee to be treated like any other type of rape, South Carolina remains the only US state with a law requiring excessive force/violence (the force or violence used or threatened must be of a "high and aggravated nature")
