My daughter works at a large grocery store and you should hear the stories she tells about food stamp users. Almost half of her customers use food stamps. For the most part they don’t buy rice, beans, flour, coffee and sugar, they buy expensive cuts of meat and gourmet food. One lady recently bought two custom made cakes from the bakery for $60 each and paid for them with food stamps…..must be nice.

So he has a 50 inch flat screen,and still wants more of my hard EARNED money.

Ben Frankly had it right, discomfort in being poor is the only way to get out of poverty.

Also note the old-fashioned, highly inefficient “milk-room” electric space heater, These run at 1,600 watts and are designed to heat barns. Her (tax-payer funded?) apartment looks far too modern not to be centrally heated. So why a milk room heater? Just another way to run up the utility bill? When someone else foots the bills, who cares, right?

Just remember, get the proper type of gloves for your constantan wire. Otherwise you’ll cut yourself up nicely.

I saw a show on TV (History Channel?) on the wreck of the EF. Apart from their primary radar going down, the crew noted the railing on both sides went down. The railing was a simple cable running fore-aft through a series of loops on posts wielded to the deck. The only way both cables on both side could part was excessive flexing of the vessel.

Excessive flexing of the vessel would also cause hatch covers to unseat, although I don’t remember wether they mentioned this in their final radio transmissions. In a wind driven rain storm, loose hatch covers would be bad berries for a heavily ladened boat.

You may remember many of the WWII Liberty ships experienced rapid and catastrophic breakup as a result of Metal Fatigue. Parting in half, often with zero warning, and sinking within one minute, with little chance of even getting a radio message out. Most crew never knew what hit them. It was only after the war, when the Navy dove on some of the wrecks did they know for sure the extent of the problem. By then the damage had been done.

Yep, the cherry on top of the UN is useless pie.

Let me get this straight: Nations that jail and murder based on contrary ideological and religious expression have a quarrel with the freest nation on earth (evah) on our shortcomings?

They must be Liberal, they are irony impervious.

UN = Useless Nitwits.

Thanks for the kind words. As for the idea of legislating while kilted, I’ll only say I haven’t ruled it out yet.
