Setting the Example
The Justice Department is pressuring banks not to do business with gun stores, which they label “high risk” customers.
Yes, stick with nice, safe, Mexican drug lords.

I'm late to the story. Q: How are we sure Carney resigned? Did we hear it from Carney himself or from a reliable source?

"Wow" is the most overused word in boring conversations.

while lifting weights I look at photos of babies trapped under overturned cars to get enough adrenaline for one last rep.

Edgar Wright pulled out of directing 'Ant-Man'. Still no word on who will direct 'Uncle-Woman'.

Face of Evil
President Obama praised America’s illegal immigrant population, saying “most of them are not making trouble”.
Unlike those scurrilous Tea Party malcontents and their malicious tax-status paperwork.
Obama Warned Us – Peace
More Americans have peace of mind — thanks to the Affordable Care Act.
“Sign up today so that your mind can rest in peace, too.”

Random Thoughts: Socialized Medicine, WH Press Secretary, and Buffy
Remember there has been numerous times in the US’s history we thought it was the end of American prosperity, and haven’t been right so far.
What’s happened with the VA doesn’t actually prove anything the right has been saying about socialized medicine except for everything.
We need free speech because everyone other than me becomes extreme when not challenged with dissenting views.
Hunger Games would have been a good alternate title for Pac-Man.
Why do we need a White House press secretary? Would asking questions to an empty podium achieve any less than usual press conference?
My recommendation for WH press secretary would be someone with a poor grasp of English because that will cover up deceptions more.
Don’t know why some politician hasn’t paid me a million dollars for my advice as I’m full of good advice and would like a million dollars.
So did people actually like Glory from season 5 of Buffy? I thought she was the worst part of the season.
Actually, when writing an eccentric, female villain for my novel, I kept saying to myself, “Make sure she’s nothing like Glory.”
I also have criticism for season 5 Buffy episode The Body because it’s so out of tone from rest of series, but I know I’m in minority there.
For whole series, high schoolers getting killed is dumb fun, but sometimes we’re supposed to take death super seriously.
Same problem with how Anya was killed off in finale. What worked for Serenity was out of place in Buffy.
They suddenly killed off my favorite character; I didn’t even care about the rest of the episode.

So, Waterworld, whales and seals didn’t evolve gills from living in water, but Kevin Costner did?
Hello, darkness, my old friend,
Please connect with me on LinkedIn.
So the Big Bad Wolf came to the house of straw, and the little pig tweeted #LeaveMyHouseAlone. The End.
On the new Reading Rainbow: How to spoil things for people who only watch the HBO adaptation.
Know why Game of Thrones readers are good about not spoiling? We know eventually the show will get ahead of books and want favor returned.
Burdensome Demand?
During a speech in DC, Nancy Pelosi said that the United States, as a country, “cannot prohibit a pathway to citizenship” for illegal aliens.
We don’t. We just ask that the pathway start on the other side of the border.
