Prologue: There is no such thing as a 'self-made' person. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success." - George Matthew Adams
National: NBC news anchor Brian Williams is one of the best late-night talk show guests. Funny, insightful....and did I mention funny?....Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives(US-HORS) John Boehner(R-Ohio) recent quotes, commenting on the impending debt ceiling-increase fight strategy of the Republican Party: First - "We'll stop Washington from spending!" Well, this is NOT about spending. It is about paying only for what has ALREADY been spent. Second - "If taxes increase for the wealthy, jobs will be lost!" Really? REALLY? We have the highest unemployment in decades - and the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy have been in place for TEN years! He means HIS job will be lost, if Congress increases taxes for those earning more than $250K(do you make that much? I sure don't!)....An impending agreement will allow the debt ceiling to be raised, as long as spending cuts are included in the deal. What cuts? Well, a committee will be formed to determine them at a later date. What does this mean? They have accomplished nothing in Washington, except scaring the general public, and costing citizens billions of dollars in stock market(paper) losses - including 401K accounts. I still say we are their employers, and we should lock them out, until an acceptable deal is reached! No salary, benefits, or perks. It worked in the NFL. And wasn't it Marie Antoinette who once said, 'Let them drink tea!' So let's drink it until the Tea Party is all gone!....We just did this in Arizona - the state legislature needed to change only TWO words, in order to extend federally-funded, long-term unemployment benefits. Republicans said, "NO!" - Not unless deep social services cuts would be made - on one the poorest citizenry in the nation! After all this - no actual deal on the debt ceiling will be made - and all that needed to be said was, "YES!"....A 5-year study finds no correlation between brain cancer and under age-20 cellphone users(insert your own joke!) After a recent expose' of Mitt Romney, it is now suggested that he either may have been born in Mexico, can be connected to Mexican drug cartels, or simply prefers Mexican food to American fare. Either way - can he be trusted?....Good news: Phoenix, Az. is rated as the #1 city in the nation for single women. Criteria included access to fast-food employment opportunities, unoccupied houses available for squatting, and ability for men to commit sex crimes and get away with them(well, that last one was actually for the men!)
State: Arizona experiences huge dust storms during the monsoon season. Some are now using the Arabic word 'haboob,' insulting those who are sick of the drain of Americana. Another great Arabic word that is 'taking the state by storm' is 'habeeb.' It is a being which has no legs, thus must use its hands to swing itself around, and if it catches you, it will eat you! You can look it up!
Epilogue: If your employer ever says to you, "Just be lucky you have a job," remind them about all the time and money you spent for college and making their lives easier, and politely reply, "F%&K YOU" - then get another job! - Michael Archangel
