Zero Billionaire Theory said...

Using this comment to talk about an idea I had, it's counter theory to the two santa claus theory. I call it the zero billionaire theory. It doesn't mean getting down to zero billionaires, but culling (by peaceful means of course) the bad billionaires until the ratio of good to bad billionaires reaches parity.

Tax cuts create bad billionaires, this reduces bad billionaires. It has a beautiful symmetry to it.

Like your show, I just had to post it before I forgot about it. Both sides don't.

"Buddha described the human mind as being filled with drunken monkeys, jumping around, screeching, chattering, carrying on endlessly. We all have monkey minds, Buddha said, with dozens of monkeys all clamoring for attention. Fear is an especially loud monkey, sounding the alarm incessantly, pointing out all the things we should be wary of and everything that could go wrong."

...except that I don't think mine are drunk - more like eternally spun-out on No-Doz. ~:|

Tone police? TONE POLICE? Goddamn motherfucking TONE POLICE? They make me want to drag out the worst of my worst "tones" just to piss them off, but what's the point? Something something rum, buggery and the lash...
You know, if there really are something like equal numbers of dude #1 and dude #2 from your example, even if not all of the #2s come down on the sane side like in your example, we probably stand a decent chance.
So the 92 minute screech that Fergus emitted at the RNC *bows low to Howard Dean* shows him to be imminently beatable, so let's just get it done.
Yeah, it's pretty damn near impossible to know how this shakes out as of now, but even Edgar Allan Poe wouldn't spend all of his time dwelling on the worst case scenarios, so I won't either. I may squirrel away some choice invective to use on the eventual culprits should that become necessary, but for me that's not an unusual amount of effort. So if it all goes sideways and you hear an unusual amount of suggestions that certain folks be buggered to death by sheep, you can figure that one was mine.
Thank you again for the podcast. What a weird week it has been, but today is 55 years since the moon landing, and I'm old enough to remember when we could do big things once in a while...

Sorry I got to ask.

If SCOTUS says Trump has immunity and Thomas signaled Judge Cannon to dismiss the Florida Docs case that special council is illegal. That Donny ca take Docs that supposedly belong to the American citizen.

When Hoe leaves office, can he take Air Force One home and keep it?
Can Joe as my pal, take a fully loaded Nuke sub and give it to me? As a memento?

Why do presidents (others) take the oath to defend the constitution when they have immunity From that oath of office?
But then, I don't have a way to contact our Supremes as it seems others do.

Like of lately one of our state judges here was approached at the church he goes to by the priest. Seems he had a ticket and had to appear in court for it. So he asked the parishioner (a judge) if he could " spare him the embracement of appearing in court and fix it for him.
Sure enough the judge did and then they got caught.
Two people most would think should know better........

Frm the story I know what the priest got in the deal. What was the judge to receive? Special praise in a Sunday sermon with an holy honorable praise mention for the community to praise him for his honorable work as a judge?

I will never know because they won;t tell.
