I want to use the Obamaphone lady’s recitation as my ringtone. Just to remind me of how fucked the entitlement state is.

Heartland Institute has a paper out of the extent of debt in county and municipal government. Well worth a read. Particularly in light of the Aus situation where local government is seeking Constitutional recognition. "While many studies have analyzed the current debt level of the federal government and to alesser extent that of state governments, there has been little research on county and municipal debt. This report seeks to begin to fill that void, starting with Cook County, Illinois."

“Our people”? What on earth does she mean? Is that like “you people”?

Cold-Hands: snap. The Franklin quote was the first thing I thought of when I saw this fat leech.

Interesting Mk50/Luke. This day in history (well that's if you're in the US). The resolution to amend the Constitution, signed by Lincoln and dated 5th December 1864. The Thirteenth Amendment was adopted December 6, 1865.

@James of the Glens
How’s that referral to ANZMI going for you?

R.J., I’m sure you mean a great deal by this but it isn’t very clear to me.

Or, Brian, one could ignore the useless little knob-spanker.

Luke, the US democrats do have that advantage, I must admit. This probably means that there is going to be one hell of a trainwreck.

And here I was thinking: there just aren’t enough threads which are all about Numbers.

'Nam was hell, you just don't understand maaaaaaaan. Seriously though, if there's one thing this blog needs, it's more threads dedicated to our very own Digital Dude. Clearly he was badly treated by the military of this great nation for not being nominated for a Victoria Cross for his selfless sacrifice in spending 10 months peeling spuds in the jungle.... He should be entitled to twisiting and turning all threads into 'All about me and my jellybeans' if he so desires... and we should in no way oppose this bold new direction for the Cat, for that would be the ultimate denigration of such a great, great man (and his service in Vietnam. Did I mention that he served in Vietnam? He did you know. Just ask him about it.) We should all prostrate ourselves before his magnificence, and pray to the Potato God that His Numerical Prophet sees fit to lay upon us the full spectrum of his knowledge.

Mk50. Yeah mate the problem is that Democrat re-inventing of history means that many (if not most) young Americans don’t know that. They infact think the opposite. e.g. it wasn’t the Democrats but the Republicans.

Most of the rest of world also thinks this thanks to the history as presented by Hollywood.

It must be great to be a party that even when you fail, you know it’s only a matter of time before you are portrayed, and eventually believed, as a success.

Someone should really take pity on him and help him start his own blog.

No way anyone would read a blog by the old ego-maniac.

It would be really self indulgent and boring.

Anyway, he’s the petty type who finds greater joy in destroying other people’s work.
