Can tea parties learn from UK MP cull?
I have a piece up over at PJM about the on-going cull of MPs who have been playing the expenses system. The result of the Telegraph's exposure of the goings on has been swift and is still happening. Americans sick of trough-loving incumbents will be looking at the swiftness of culling with envy.

BBQ RULES..........
We are about to enter the BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity . When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:
Routine....
(1) The woman buys the food.
(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.
(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.
(4) The woman remains outside the compulsory three meter exclusion zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can take place without the interference of the woman.
Here comes the important part:
(5) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.
More routine...
(6) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.
(7) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he flips the meat.
Important again:
(8) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.
More routine...
(9) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings
them to the table.
(10) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.
And most important of all:
(11) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.
(12) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed ' her night off ', and, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing
some women.

The FED, this'll make you feel better...............from Rico
That entity we know as the FED. What does anyone really know about it?
It is neither Federal, nor Reserve. It is a specially chartered PRIVATE BANK whose primary function is not to hold money in reserve...but to print it.
- The Fed is not truly a Government agency.
- No one knows exactly who owns the Fed.
- The Fed is a secretive financial institution which can not be audited by Congress, The President, or anyone with a paygrade below that of the Almighty.
There now, I'll bet you feel all better now, right? I know I do.
