No, not THAT kind of model. Flush-out your head gear. I mean the French 'economic' model. The Socialist one so beloved by American Socialists like John Kerry and Marxists like Berry Obama-Soetoro, et al., because it is "fair."
THE SUPPORTERS aka TAX PAYERS. One third of the people work hard, earn money, and pay taxes on their earnings.
THE SYSTEM aka TAX SPENDERS. One third of the people are on the Government payroll and work hard at spending the tax money from the first third, but when they have some free time they also 'work' at preventing the first third from earning any more money.
THE SUPPORTED aka TAX EATERS. One third of the people are supported by the tax spenders with money confiscated from the tax payers. They are the tax eaters.
If you get the inevitable increase (influx) of tax eaters and run a little 'short' on money, NO problem!
- The tax spenders can just raise taxes on the tax payers.
- The tax spenders can 'borrow' money and the tax payers can pay back those loans.
- The tax spenders can 'print' (create) more money.
Yes, a system that rewards the supported with money seized-by-force from the supporters works GREAT, mais ouis?

The Mossad is everywhere
On Sunday BBC Radio 4’s PM program interviewed Gordon Thomas, author of Gideon’s Spies, a book about the Mossad.
In explaining the Mossad’s operating methods outside Israel, Thomas told PM host Eddie Mair, “They have a whole backup system called ‘asylum.’ These are people, local residents, Jewish people, who help the Mossad. It is estimated to be in the world about half a million; some people say a million...

Glen Beck Running for President
His speech at CPAC was good, and I am not his biggest fan, I think he is planning to run for President. He is having "his own" event in DC in late August where he promises "a big announcement". Its now not about tea parties or the movement, but all about Beck. He is not working with any other tea party group for his event, they are still having one on 9/12. I think he is trying to do a successful grassroots movement to get him the nomination.
His CPAC speech was less frothing and far more staid. I was rather surprised to be honest, in a good way.
Am I being bullied?
How to tell if your being bullied according to the Unite Union.
Bullies may use terror tactics, open aggression, threats, shouting, abuse, and obscenities towards their target
Bullies may subject their target to constant humiliation or ridicule, belittling their efforts, often in front of others
Bullies may subject their target to excessive supervision, monitoring everything they do and being excessively critical about minor things
Bullies may take the credit for other people's work but never take the blame when things go wrong
Bullies may constantly override the person's authority
Bullies may remove whole areas of work responsibility from the person, reducing their job to routine tasks that are well below their skills and capabilities
Bullies may set the person what they know to be impossible objectives, or constantly change the work remit without telling the person, and then criticise or reprimand the person for not meeting their demands
Bullies may ostracise and marginalise their target, dealing with the person only through a third party, excluding the person from discussions, decisions etc
Bullies may spread malicious rumours about the individual
Sound like anyone familiar?

VBS TV: FAR OUT: HEIMO'S ARCTIC REFUGE
In this premiere edition of Far Out, we take a bush plane to the middle of nowhere, Alaska, to catch up with Heimo and his wife, Edna—now reaching their golden years. Over the course of our ten-day stay, the Korths show us everything you need to know about fur-trapping, caribou-hunting, caribou-eating, river-crossing, boredom-staving, bear-avoidance, and bear-defense to live happily over 100 miles from the nearest neighbors. Vegans, you have been warned.
These 16 Police Comments were taken off actual police car videos around the country:
16. 'You know, stop lights don't come any redder than the one you just went through.'
15. 'Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll stretch after you wear them a while.'
14. 'If you take your hands off the car, I'll make your birth certificate a worthless document.'
13. 'If you run, you'll only go to jail tired.'
12. 'Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second? Because that's the speed of the bullet that'll be chasing you.'
11. 'You don't know how fast you were going? I guess that means I can write anything I want to on the ticket, huh?'
10. 'Yes, sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't think it will help. Oh, did I mention that I'm the shift supervisor?'
9. 'Warning! You want a warning? OK, I'm warning you not to do that again or I'll give you another ticket.'
8. 'The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?'
7. 'Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy and corn dogs and step in monkey poop.'
6. 'Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven..'
5. 'In God we trust, all others we run through NCIC.'
4. 'How big were those 'two beers' you say you had?'
3. 'No sir, we don't have quotas anymore. We used to, but now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we can.'
2. 'I'm glad to hear that the Chief (of Police) is a personal friend of yours. So you know someone who can post your bail.'
AND THE WINNER IS....
1. 'You didn't think we give pretty women tickets? You're right, we don't. Sign here.'

Po' deer
Pennsylvania Sense of Humor (read and don't miss the picture at the end!)
People in Schuylkill County , Pennsylvania have a warped sense of humor. This is the pull off at SR 61 and Adamsdale Rd.
A deer was hit there.
The couch was dumped there previously.
Day two the deer was on the couch.
Day three the end table and lamp showed up.
Day four the TV and TV stand showed up.
The Trooper had to call PENN DOT because of all the people stopping to take pictures.

Tough times ahead..............from Rico
Many are under the 'impression' that the millions who have lost their jobs will soon be going back to work as the economy 'recovers.' That is not going to happen.
Even Barry Obama-Soetoro, The Federal Reserve, and the NYT all admit that millions are NOT going back to work anytime soon...and THEY are optimists.
The "talking heads" of the MSM (aka Ministry of Truth) are calling this a 'jobless' recovery, but it is NOT a 'recovery' at all.
- Millions MORE are going to be losing their jobs.
- The 'official' unemployment rate of around 10% is REALLY 18-22%.
- Millions face YEARS without jobs.
- Millions of the unemployed WILL lose their unemployment checks between now and the end of April.
....so, what happens in this 'recovery' when millions of unemployed no longer get unemployment checks?
Tough times are ahead.
You wanted "change?" How'z it workin' out for ya'?

Taken from School Report Cards.........

2. I would not allow this student to breed.
3. Your child has delusions of adequacy.
4. Your son is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.
5. Your son sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.
6. The student has a 'full six-pack' but lacks the plastic thing to hold it all together.
7. This child has been working with glue too much.
8. When your daughter's IQ reaches 50, she should sell.
9. The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming.
10. If this student were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week.
11. it’s impossible to believe the sperm that created this child beat out 1,000,000 others.
12. The wheel is turning but the hamster is definitely dead.
