Poor peoples' lobbyist in Washington is easy to spot. He drives a rusty 1978 Plymouth with a tail light out, and a parking ticket stuck in his windshield wiper.
Mitt makes $56,000 a day and does not work. He has the same tax rate that a guy who actually WORKS and makes $50,000 a year. Sounds fair. But maybe poor people should fire their lobbyist.
Join me in my campaign to give every man, woman and child in America the same loop holes in every law that Congressmen have.
Pretty cool. Mitt's monthly social security check is about the same as mind. I just don't know how Congress will fix social security. Don't you hope it's off poor people's backs? Mitt and I need ours.
Lucky day for me. I think I will put the FBI gps tracking devices I found on my cars today on Ebay. Should bring me some extra cash.
While I am happy about Brad Pitts Academy Award nominations, I can honestly tell you that it gets wearisome being mistaken for him when I am out in public. Really. For instance, his hair and mine are not that similar.

2) Question: The guy in the cell next to me says he is doing prison time because he spray-painted the wings of hawks to trick bird-watchers into believing they had discovered a new species of bird. That cannot be true, right?
Answer: Actually, that happens sometimes. That is the crime of "ill-treating an animal." (Herald Sun, Farmer's spray paint prank raised bird watchers' hopes of a new species)

Why Men Wear Earrings
Did you ever wonder why earrings became so popular with men?
A man is at work one day when he notices that his co-worker is wearing an earring.
The man knows his co-worker to be a normally conservative fellow, and is curious about his sudden change in "fashion sense"
The man walks up to him and says, "I didn't know you were into earrings."
"Don't make such a big deal, it's only an earring," he replies sheepishly.
His friend falls silent for a few minutes, but then his curiosity prods him to ask, "So, how long have you been wearing one?"
"Ever since my wife found it in my truck."

Posted: 24 Jan 2012 01:12 AM PST Recently I was presented the question, “How does one improve as a photographer? This question came from a well seasoned photographer and it got me thinking of the things I’ve done in the past. While the things listed below worked for me they may not work for everyone. Which leads me to wonder what do you do to improve as a photographer when you feel you’ve hit a wall?  Viewing "99 Cents" by Andreas Gursky 10 Ways To Improve as a Photographer
As I see it this desire to continually improve is healthy and a great sign. I see far too many photographers (well known big names) fall into the habit of trying to reproduce work they had success with many years earlier. Photography is moving at such a fast pace that these older styles and techniques are now easily reproduced by lesser experienced photographers. The result is people losing respect for them or just becoming jaded by them. I wrote about this a bit here in The Subtlety of Greatness and Today’s Loss of Appreciation. Now more than ever it really takes a lot of skill, self-discipline and motivation to dig deeper and push farther. Great photographers are always pushing the limits and having seen this in my study of photography over the years it has served as a very strong source of motivation. Personally I can’t help but think if you’re not looking back at your older work and being dissatisfied you’re not growing as a photographer. This is why I run the Best of Photos 20XX blog project. Every year I look back and think I should trash my old photos. It’s not where I want to be. The day I lose that feeling is the day I know I’m done. There should always be new creative horizons to aim for and explore. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
Under pressure, Romney releases tax info
The GOP candidate's records indicate he earned $42.5 million over the past two years. What he'll pay in taxes
editor: not bad earnings for someone who didnt work the past two years. Perry, on the other hand, stole 2.6 million from the tax payers for his little four month ego extravaganza thinking he could be President. someone needs to talk to him. seriously. and make him go to his room and stay there.------------------------------------------------------------
Feds Did OK In GPS Case, Warrant May Not be Needed: Analysis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The federal government did far better in the Supreme Court's GPS tracking case than has been generally recognized, says attorney Tom Goldstein of Scotusblog.com. Goldstein believes federal investigators are "more likely than not to prevail in a later case in which [they install] a GPS monitor without a warrant and tracks the individual for only a couple of days."
The alignment of justices importantly leaves two questions unanswered, Goldstein says: First, does the "search" caused by installing a GPS device require a warrant? The answer may be no, given that no member of the court squarely concludes it does and four Justices who join the Samuel Alito concurrence do not believe it constitutes a search at all. If no warrant is required for installation, is a warrant required for short-term monitoring of the GPS device? Again, the answer may be no, as the majority conspicuously avoids addressing this issue and four members of the Court squarely say that the answer is "no." Justice Sonia Sotomayor alone says that this scenario "will require particular attention."

Most Federal Judges Warn Jurors About Social Media January 24, 2012 Most federal judges have taken steps to ensure that jurors do not use social media to discuss the trial in which they are involved, a recently published survey indicates. The Federal Judicial Center was asked by a committee of the policy-making Judicial Conference of the United States to survey federal judges on the issue. Its report says that 94 percent of the 508 judges who responded said they have specifically barred jurors from any case-connected use of social media.

Tearin’ It Up (And Burnin’ It Down): Garth Brooks Wins Lawsuit To Force Return of $500,000 Gift
Published 1, January 25, 2012 Academics , Science , Society 2 Comments
Country singer Garth Brooks has prevailed in his lawsuit to force the IntegrisCanadian Valley Regional Hospital in Yukon, Oklahoma to return half a million dollars from a prior gift. The case will likely be examined closely by universities and hospitals as a cautionary tale on the handling of donor money. What is clear is that, after taking one of its largest donors to court, the IntegrisCanadian Valley Regional Hospital can expect a rather chilly response from future donors. Here is the get part: the jury decided that he was aVictim of the Game and made the damages a cool $1 million dollars with punitive damages. Now that was a smart legal strategy for the hospital.------------------------------------------------------------------
