Who do you support for Governor in Tennessee in 2010?

[Truth Detector]

What has happened to this country?

Time Magazine, a tome I haven’t read in at least 25 years, except possibly when trapped in a doctor’s office, will soon announce their person of the year. So who is the top contender?

Grab the nearest barf bag, you’ll need it.

The sexiest man alive, that phat phuk, Kim Jong Un.

“Now, he’s gotten the most votes in TIME’s completely unscientific reader Person of the Year Poll with 5.6 million votes. Not bad for a man who didn’t make an official public appearance until 2010.”

No wonder Obama got re-elected.

“This doesn’t mean Kim is TIME’s Person of the Year. That choice is made by the editors of TIME and will be revealed Dec. 19 on the Today show.

“While we don’t make our selection based on the poll results,” said TIME executive editor Radhika Jones in a recent interview,“it’s always interesting to see where some of our preferred candidates end up.”

Preferred candidates? That little phat phuk is a PREFERRED candidate?

Also mentioned:‘The Daily Show’ funny man Jon Stewart, Undocumented Immigrants, Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas and Burmese leaders Aung San Suu Kyi and Thein Sein, Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie all made it into the top ten. However, some of the highest vote tallies got a boost from members of Internet forums like 4Chan who launched a campaign to manipulate the results pushing North Korea’s supreme leader to the top of the list.
The largest number of ”no way” votes went to Egyptian President Mohammad Morsi. Despite his unfavorable ranking, his inclusion on the poll has elicited a flurry of passionate responses on social media, as did TIME’s recent exclusive interview and cover story.

Other notable inclusions prompted plenty of online chatter, even if it didn’t result in a top ranking: Pakistani schoolgirl and girls’ education advocate Malala Yousafzai, who was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman for her outspoken activism, placed 15th; Korean rapper Psy, creator of the ‘Gangnam Style’-sensation and the most-watched video in YouTube history, placed 17th.

Now I won’t read Time even if it’s the ONLY magazine in the doctor’s office.

Florida to be first to issue a million concealed gun permits

I am a gun rights advocate who has a permit but... do you think this is a good thing ? Think about 100 random people you know...out of 100 ten or so are probably NOT the kind of folks that should have a gun handy, and one or two shouldn't ever get near one ! How many of those are in that million ? Floridians ...and the rest of us probably shouldn't be celebrating.

Union Goons Destroy Man’s Hot Dog Cart While Calling Him ‘N*****’ & ‘Uncle Tom’
Everyone who has passed the hot dog cart knows what a kind and caring individual Clint is. He never fails to bestow a smile or friendly greeting. In no way [did] he provoke this attack, nor any of the behavior displayed toward him.
Mr. Tarver has been operating his food businesses since 1990 in the Lansing area. He had been hired by Americans for Prosperity to cater their tent during Tuesday’s rallies/protests.
So Mr. Tarver runs a business, semi retires, operates a hot dog cart for so long that it becomes a local icon, then gets himself hired by those Koch minions and somehow gets the unions’ tolerant and thoughtful ones to call him names and wreck his business, er, if you’re a liberal and buy the alternate history view of Tuesday’s events. That’s one of the longest and weirdest false flag operations I’ve ever heard of.
Well, it’s either that or the unions that have proven themselves to be thugs over the past few years have once again behaved like thugs.
Your call, really.

Someone has to step up to the plate. Bernanke seems the only one willing.

No. The government has spent more money than our grandchildren's grandchildren can pay back through 'stimulus' and this Keynesian economics simply is not working. Here's what the 'Fed' also had to say.... "Fed projects high unemployment for next 3 years".
So, after billions upon billions spent - NOTHING.

“The hypothesis that more guns connects to less crime has stood up against massive efforts to criticize it,”

Data and analysis from 39 states and covering 29 years (1977-2005),

“There are large drops in overall violent crime, murder, rape, and aggravated assault that begin right after the right-to-carry laws have gone into effect,” Lott writes.“In all those crime categories, the crime rates consistently stay much lower than they were before the law.”

From the time states passed right-to-carry concealed handgun laws, the average murder rate dropped from 6.3 per 100,000 to 5.2 per 100,000 nine-to-ten years later—“about a 1.7% drop in the murder rate per year for ten years.”

Overall violent crime rates similarly dropped from 475 crimes per 100,000 people to a range of 415-440 after the second full year that concealed-carry laws were passed. Rapes dropped from 40.2 per 100,000 people to 35.7 per 100,000 nine to 10 years later (a 12% drop).

“Of all the methods studied so far by economists, the carrying of concealed handguns appears to be the most cost-effective method for reducing crime,”

But, if crime rates had gone up, it would (of course) be Obama's fault.
