– Corporations are avoiding their taxes in Oregon (and elsewhere, doy, but that’s another discussion).

– Divorce reform may be one of the scariest ideas I’ve ever heard.

– I have not been impressed with Reuven Carlyle’s time in the House, but maybe he’ll run for Senate. Sure.

    Of course one could watch some real news about the Obummer sadministration and how they are “transforming America”!

    “I think any journalist who has been covering Washington for a few years would agree… that there is pressure coming to bear on journalists for just doing their job in ways that have never come to bear before.

    Obummer will go down in history as

    .the. worst. .president. ever.

    The Kansas Racist was inspired to kill those people by the Media Matters moron Max Blumenthal son of Sidney Blumenthal Clinton pal. This moron admits it and the NY Slimes is tap dancing around the truth…

    Like I’ve been saying, the kikes simply do not trust a lame-duck black president with the name Hussein. Jews fear his re-election, thus this jewish Super PAC to defeat him.

    And this…

    Now, Mr. Miller himself, a proud Ku Klux Klan leader and avowed anti-Semite, has found inspiring words from the one Jew he likes—Max Blumenthal. Look again at his words: “Jew journalist Max Blumenthal exposes and explains this attempt by a foreign government Israel, to buy the presidential election for the neo-con, war-mongering republican establishment.” Except for the first two words,“Jew journalist,” Miller’s rant is similar to the arguments of Walt and Mearsheimer, John B. Judis and other realists and leftists, whose writings are filled with the same disdain for “neo-conservatives” who are always described as “warmongering.” When someone like Pat Buchanan makes that same argument, he never uses the word “Jews,” preferring to let his readers know by intuition just who is talking about.

    This will be blamed on conservatives, Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, etc. Wait and watch. Another whack job DUMMOCRETIN with a gun!

    The divorce link was fascinating.

    No-fault divorce has been a success. A 2003 Stanford University study detailed the benefits in states that had legalized such divorces: Domestic violence dropped by a third in just 10 years, the number of husbands convicted of murdering their wives fell by 10 percent, and the number of women committing suicide declined between 11 and 19 percent

    I know a woman I knew in High School who is pissed that her husband wants a divorce and wishes she was in a more restrictive divorce state. I cannot imagine a worse hell than being forced to stay with someone I didn’t love, or like. it sucks to be a single mom, but to want to keep a man, only because it’s financially easier. that’s nasty too.

    I’d expect marriage rate to go down, if people couldn’t get out of them when they found they were not compatible or grew apart.

    Comments on that divorce link seemed to be of two camps.

    Why do fundamentalists believe they have the right to impose their doctrines on the personal lives of everyone?

    And

    I don’t want to give a dime of my money to help anyone else. Don’t you dare tax me to support single moms.

    The rallying cry of the GOP seems to be: “Out of our wallets and into your sheets!”

    And I liked this one.

    Okay, so let me get this straight. Conservatives want to dictate the sex of who you can marry. They want to dictate whether or not a woman can use birth control. They want to force the woman to have the baby. They want to decide if you get divorced.
    But liberals are the ones who want a nanny state. Yeah.

    There you go again, defending a white supremacist, old-school Mormon lunatic who has been freegrazing his cattle on public lands without paying for it. The cattle are wandering onto other people’s property, onto a golf course and onto the highway where quite a few of them have been hit by cars and semitrucks.

    NOBODY is defending this guy. Not his neighbors, not his congressmen, not his local State Senators or Representatives, the man is a thief, no more, no less. Just because all the Klansman types come out of the woodwork on this doessn’t make him right. He’s lost three court cases on this, one at the Federal level.

    He’s been freegrazing his cattle for 20 years and not paying for the rights to graze public land, and a large part of that area is closed to grazing completely. He has no rights whatsoever to the land he’s been destroying.

    April 14, 1906, the Great San Francisco Earthquake destroys much of the city, and takes many lives. The rebuilding changed the city, in some cases for the better. The current city hall is one example. Some corruption continued,such as United Railways bribing officials to be allowed to electrify routes that used Market Street. 4 years later, San Francisco voters approved a bond measure to build a municipal-owned street railway line, on Geary St. By 1944, this and other lines that formed a ‘public option’ to URR successor Market Street Railway, would buy the latter out.

    The film that was included in the above link, is interesting. It is a clip from a silent film, “Trip Down Market Street”, and originally dated to 1905, but a researcher pieced together, weather, newspaper, and automobile(a real breakthrough, as few cars were around at the time) records from the time, and came to a different conclusion. It was from early 1906, and people in the film, may have had only weeks to live.

    @ ER @ 28

    That film was recorded somewhere between Saturday the 14th and Monday the 16th of April 1906. The records at the company that developed the film show the undeveloped roll being first received by train and delivered to the film company in New York somewhere between the 20th or 22nd.

    It is possible that, as the news of the earthquake was all over the newspapers, the roll was developed and stored for later delivery as the original photographer was very possibly killed and at least at that point could not be contacted. They don’t know who originally shot the film, but the film and camera manufacturer was in New York City and it was the only place where it could be developed. San Francisco to New York City was about a 5-6 day trip by rail. The mail Express trains were fast, well over 80 mph on the clear lines.

    When I first found that nice little nugget on YouTube I was fascinated. I watched it over and over. It is very possible that the people in this film had less than 24 hours to live.

    Stabilized version.

    One of the things that struck me after watching it for about the 20th time was the fact that there were still a lot of horses being used on the streets. The automobile was still very much a new thing and only for very wealthy people. I read somewhere later that New York City was removing about 240,000 tons of horseshit every single day from the streets.

    When the automobile became popular, it was the end of the horse as a power source. By 1908, the horses were almost completely gone. Horse pollution really, REALLY sucked. Everyone bitches about the pollution from cars and trucks, but at that time a little bit of smoke was preferable to gigantic mounds of horseshit and dead animals that came from using horses as a means of propulsion. Hell, it was a $5.00 fine to leave a dead horse on the street, something that was pretty common. The horse dropped dead, a lot of folks just unhitched them and split. The knackers were kept pretty busy.

    In 1984, Miller ran in the DUMMOCRETIN primary for the gubernatorial race in North Carolina, but lost after getting only 5,790 votes. In 1986, he switched parties and was defeated in the GOP primary for a state Senate seat, after getting only 6,662 votes.

    So your point? He loved Media Morons nevercorrectandnotoobright! He admitted he read and loved Max Blumenthal and his Israel hatred. Seemed he loved Obummer!

    Obviously, I’m not saying women won’t date or marry a lower-earning men, only that they probably prefer not to. If a higher-earning man is not available, many women are more likely not to marry at all.
