  • Could not the photographer afford a real DLSR instead of using a “stupid” phone with a smudge on the lens (too much flare from light sources due to an unclean lens)?

  • What is a “low information voter”? We have more information at our fingertips today than ever before. The correct term is “stupid voter”. So many people are unaware that a nominal unemployment rate in a healthy economy is about 4-5 percent, not double that at 8 percent.

    I graduated from Public High School in Michigan in 1979. In chemistry, we had to estimate the output of chemical reactions, then use quadratic equations and a slide ruler to get the actual answer (learning to estimate an apporximate answer helped us learn not to rely totally on the technology (slide ruler) to get the answer, if you slipped up by a decimal place with the slide ruler, estimating the answer helped you check your work since matter cannot be created or destroyed, you of course could not end up with more than you started with…but I digress.

    Now we have 20 somethings (and adults) who have the attention span of a snowflake on a hot iron.

  • Checking to see if the moderator has given me permission to be able to post comments….again. Not sure why I have been unable to post for the last two weeks.

  • Wilkow!: Is U.S. Citizenship Eroding?

    testing to see if I can post yet….have not been able to post comments for two weeks.

  • I am 51, serving my 23rd consecutive year in the Army. After reading this article I now realize I am offended by seeing the number sequence “666″ when it appears randomly on government property during inventories. Can I take a dremel tool and alter the serial number to remove the offending “666″ sequence or would that be a violation of property book protocol?

  • My pleasant, well thought out posts are not posting.

  • Not sure what a “low information America” or “voter” is, but there are enough people who cannot think, reason, or analyze information due to poor parenting and a public school system that is not what it was when I graduated in 1979 (in High School Chemistry we had to “guess” the output of compound “c” of a chemical reaction with “a” and “b” for inputs, then verify the “guess” using quadratic equations and a slide-ruler).

    We have more information at our fingertips now than at any time in our past, yet there were enough of “them” to re-elect a guy who “owned” the nearly 8 percent unemployment rate (go ahead and ask your co-workers what the nominal rate of unemployment is in a healthy economy, most have no idea it is 4-5 percent (allowing for normal transition between jobs, temporary job dis-placement) yet people are beginning to believe that 8 percent is the new normal.

    Do not get me started on wondering how many people have moved from unemployment benefits to disability rolls fruadulently. I wonder what percent of 18-62 year olds applied for first time disability benefits in 1972, 1982, 1992, 2002, and 2012. I suspect the percent should be going DOWN since we have made advances is automobile safety, on the job safety, home appliance safety, and of course numerous medical advances…yet I suspect that the new “I am a mouth-breather, American Idol watching, gimme yours cause I am too lazy to get mine” populace have learned to “game the system”.

  • I wish I had such manly features as she does…

  • Great, yesterday the LSM could not bring themselves to mention the race as the NRA 500, now I bet they use the NRA label to talk about the “late abortion”.

  • To sendthemeteorsUpmeineArse: Of course “it” is upset, you see, liberals like “it” are actually all about job creation. This is why they are so upset about the recent school shooting and now this suicide, the are not upset about guns. To a liberal it is Job Creation to use tax payer money to pay a doctor to shove a egg beater up a woman’s uterus to k!ll an innocent baby (by the thousands, yearly), but if someone goes into a school and does it for free, or off themselves for free, the liberal sees lost employment and gets their p@ntis in a bunch. paid k!lling=good, free k!lling= bad.

    And you thought liberals were not worried about the employment rate…silly rabbit.
