Along with the Wall Street Journal and lots of other media/corporate interests.

This is also the slimeball who was responsible for the sleaze operations in the English tabloids. Still walking free, still hobnobbing with the other higher-and-mightier than us.

May 2015

The Pinata Effect is empirically proven and clearly demonstrates that those who are standing nearest to the Pinata when the old bag breaks will reap more benefits than those who are not even allowed in the room.

Secondary to the Pinata Effect is the Loose Marbles Corollary, which states that the fairest and most equitable shape in the universe is circular-since circular objects can roll in any direction, giving the participants in the back of the room a chance to enjoy the windfall.

They don't care about anything but the fetus.

Plus the nice man in the church tells them that voting for democrats will lead them straight to hell.

is the thing.

Sadly, our people are pretty simple minded when it comes to politics, government, policy, etc.

What the republicans have effectively done during the last quarter century is dumb things down to where all that is bad is liberal.

That is pretty much end game now.

Yep- Trudeau still has it!
The problem is greed. These guys can have a billion dollars- but it is not enough. I call it a mental illness. Seems to go in hand with not caring about others.
Truly a sad state of affairs in our country.
