When working the boats in Alaska, arguably one of the wettest environments around, every stateroom had one. Fishermen swear by them.

And God bless ‘em.

Tell me. I’m in the buckle of the southeastern United States bible belt, where Baptist blue laws reign supreme and nary a drop at any price on the sabbath.

So you’re saying that California as the state with the largest economy in the Union as well as the PLANET’S fifth largest economy should go ahead and leave our system to the benefit neither of themselves nor anyone else? That’s a bold yet indefensible and ultimately idiotic statement.

We are all now dumber as a result of your comment. Please do not procreate.

Thank you.

What do we call this one?

This beaut was featured in a HuffPost story recently. Not only is it stupendously, embarrassingly clownish, but an entire team of people selected this image above all others to feature in their article.

Bias much?

The fellow quoted in the article works for the Cato Institute.

According to Wikipedia: “ Cato scholars have consistently called for the privatization of many government services and institutions,[68] including NASA,[69] Social Security,[70] the United States Postal Service,[71] the Transportation Security Administration,[72] public schooling, public transportation systems,[73][74] and public broadcasting.[75] The institute opposes minimum wage laws, saying that they violate the freedom of contract and thus private property rights, and increase unemployment.[76][77] It is opposed to expanding overtime regulations, arguing that it will benefit some employees in the short term, while costing jobs or lowering wages of others, and have no meaningful long-term impact.[78][79] It opposes child labor prohibitions,[80][81][82] opposes public sector unions, and supports right-to-work laws.[83][84] It opposes universal health care, arguing that it is harmful to patients and an intrusion onto individual liberty.[85][86] It is against affirmative action.[87] It has also called for total abolition of the welfare state, and has argued that it should be replaced with reduced business regulations to create more jobs, and argues that private charities are fully capable of replacing it.[88][89] Cato has also opposed antitrust laws.[90][91]

Cato is an opponent of campaign finance reform, arguing that government is the ultimate form of potential corruption and that such laws undermine democracy by undermining competitive elections. Cato also supports the repeal of the Federal Election Campaign Act.[92][93]”

TLDR: The Cato Institute is an American libertarian think tank headquartered in Washington, D.C. It was founded in 1977 by Ed Crane, Murray Rothbard, and Charles Koch,[6] chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Koch Industries..

I have always, and will continue to, condemn the Koch brothers, both living and dead, just on principal.
