RANT: Stinker “Mama Mia”
Wednesday, August 6, 2008
From the movie "Mama Mia"
Stinker Alert!
This chick flick could only be loved by a chick in need of a flick! I was suspect of it when I heard the casting. MS as Mama … nahh. PB and the romantic make lead singing and dnacing … absurd.
Whoever cast this should hang up their credentials. It ruins the movie.
I had the great pleasure to see the original cast play in London. Probably the best I’ve ever seen.
This movie is the probably the worst. And, I’ve seen some stinkers.
No amount of good hard work by the second string can save it.
Save your money and wait for it on free TV. Then all you’ll waste is your time.

LIBERTY: Welfare costs us

***Begin Quote***
Browning’s concluding chapter tells us what the welfare state costs us. He acknowledges the non-economic costs such as infringements on liberty and strains on the political process, but focuses on the quantitative economic costs. The disincentive effects of Social Security have reduced the GDP by 10 percent, the federal income tax (as opposed to a proportional tax) by 9 percent and past deficits by 3.5 percent for a total of 22.5 percent. He guesses that welfare programs have reduced GDP by 2.5 percent. The overall effect of redistributionist policies has created incentives that have reduced GDP by a total of 25 percent. Without those, our GDP would be close to $18 trillion instead of $14 trillion.
***End Quote***
Welfare costs us in more ways than just money. It gives the politicians and bureaucrats control over people. And, like the young elephant, we think we need them!

POLITICAL: Hiroshima … never again?
Wednesday, August 6, 2008http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroshima
*** begin quote ***
On Monday[10], August 6, 1945, the nuclear weapon Little Boy was dropped on Hiroshima by the crew of the American B-29 bomber Enola Gay, directly killing an estimated 80,000 people. By the end of the year, injury and radiation brought total casualties to 90,000-140,000.[11] Approximately 69% of the city’s buildings were completely destroyed, and 6.6% severely damaged.
*** end quote ***
As an American who wasn’t alive when this happened, I won’t judge the people who did this. I’m sure they have met the Maker and received their eternal reward. I will say I am shocked and appalled by it.
Government, gooferment, the meme that kills.
