It's the summer. You don't actually think they get out and report real news at this time of the year, do you?

I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -
We have the implosion of the Murdoch news empire, sectarian riots in Northern Ireland, a war in North Africa and the continued collapse of Western Capitalism. All this, despite summer. But hey, it's the Daily Mail. They must have run out of free-welfare-cars-for-immigrant-single-mothers-give-you-cancer stories.Comment

Ah, see I wouldn't know that since I can only see it online, thankfully. I just assumed their front cover was as trashy as their site, apparently it is but in a different fashion.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

I don't know. I'm not sure what "capitalism is collapsing" is supposed to mean and how government debt causes it.Originally posted by C0ckney View PostComment

Republicans are currently playing a game of chicken in Washington D.C. trying to make the country technically default on the national debt (as in not pay on time). They're just insane and trying to make the country crash and burn now.Originally posted by C0ckney View PostTry http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment
