Oedipus Wrecks

Floyd — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 01:41:45 +0000

This man… 48 year old John Goodman adopted his 42 year old girl friend in Florida… Why? Isn’t it obvious?

Polo club founder John Goodman has adopted his longtime adult girlfriend as his legal daughter in what plaintiff’s attorneys are calling an attempt to shield assets from a civil suit filed by the parents [...]

Buffet’s Smorgasbord of Hypocrisy

Floyd — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:02:10 +0000

I’ll admit I never paid much attention to Warren Buffet — the so called “Sage of Omaha” — until he started yammering about higher taxes. Heck, I probably would have assumed he was a Republican I knew so little about him other than being a billionaire and having the Midas touch in investments. Sadly [...]

The Case for Mitt

Rufus — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:02:46 +0000

Now you understand why I wrote this post, earlier (http://www.threedonia.com/archives/48688). Regardless, even with that preemptive shot I know I will be lambasted here for writing this, but, I’m a realist and I can’t help stating what I believe is fact.

First) I really wish there were some different candidates to choose from regarding the [...]

I Heart Starbucks

Floyd — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:34:44 +0000

I like Starbucks coffee… or rather I like some of it. Christmas Blend is my favorite and I like the medium roasts though I stay away from their dark roasts because they always taste too smoky to me. Anyway… living in the People’s Republic of California I pretty much don’t think about the issue [...]

Keystone XL — Winners

Floyd — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 19:45:41 +0000

We all know who the losers are in Obama’s decision to nix the Keystone XL oil pipeline project… workers, gas consumers, the American economy and the country in general of course. If there are losers there must of course be winners. We already know the Gaia Cult won, but surely there are others… one [...]

The Government Can

Floyd — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 19:06:54 +0000

A friend of mine posted this on Facebook. It’s about a year old and I’d forgotten it. Tim Hawkins is a comedian and a lot of his stuff on YouTube… from his DVD “Insanitized”.

Closing the Door Behind You

Floyd — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 21:16:03 +0000

A pretty consistent question I get from students over the years is why do liberals often appear to be either very rich or very poor. The very por are easy to explain… they are often direct beneficiaries of government largesse. But what do affluent people get from big government liberal policies like the environmental [...]

Irony. It’s Ironic
