"The poor will have more if you tax the rich less." There are some lies that you can tell, and tell, and tell some more . . . but they don't become facts. This particular <i>Grosse Lüge</i> is one of them

It's called "Regression towards mediocrity". Actually, this is regression way <i>past</i> mediocrity, but you have to expect the occasional freak of nature.

The backdrop in that photo clearly mentions the Republic Party. I'm surprised he had time to say anything at all, after going incandescent about the disrespect.

Here's something about "shit sandwiches" that always puzzled me. There's an old saying: Life is like a shit sandwich...the more bread you have the less shit you have to eat.

This can't be true. If I spread 5 ounces of shit on a slice of Wonder Bread and spread 5 ounces of shit an a full loaf of artisan sourdough bread, one is still eating a full 5 ounces of shit.

Sorry about the cancer.

Too bad we live in a nation that considers the life-and-death matter of health insurance a work-place benefit provided by private companies. And people who slip through those enormous cracks are disparaged as "takers" for the temerity of needing treatment.
