I just wonder why he waited eight days to report it.
Maybe he thought it was for the honeymoon, eh ??
... at least they put in their own gas.

Upstairs, Downstairs div
It appears from all the howlings out there on the inter tubes that Mittens had a great weekend in the Hamptons. Sure was nice to get away from those hicks in Cow Hampshire (don't blame me, I lived free there ... and damn near died) and see some "real" folks.
I especially loved this quote:
"A few cars back, Ted Conklin, the owner of the American Hotel in Sag Harbor, long a favorite of the Hamptons' well-off and well-known, could barely contain his displeasure with Mr. Obama. "He is a socialist. His idea is find a problem that doesn't exist and get government to intervene," Mr. Conklin said from inside a gold Mercedes, as his wife, Carol Simmons, nodded in agreement."
Seems like Ted really is familiar with what it takes to be a Socialist, eh ??
How dare "those" people create a non-existent problem - - like maybe voter fraud and then pass a bunch of laws to prevent people from voting ?? oops ...... those are republ ...... arrgggghhh, ........ nothing to see here, move along.
Most of this illustrates that the "rich" ain't really like most of us. I'll never be able to spend over a year's pay (before taxes) on a meal. It's nice to see all the "job creators" spending that money. Surely, it will trickle down, eh ?
What I can't figure out is what are they expecting to get. Usually, money is exchanged for something of value. I don't think anyone can tell me, with a straight face anyway, that this ain't out and out influence peddling and bribery
The only "trickle down" I've experienced since St Ronald announced how it worked is the moisture on my thigh when I don't adequately shake off my di ....... well, you get the picture.
It's amazing that the Republicans can still mouth this twaddle after it's been proven to be unworkable over and over and over ....... and no one calls 'em on it. Seems like they will always be able to play to the audience that thinks they magically move up into the ranks of the 1%. They always seem to be able to point to some bogey-man that's a-gonna steal it from 'em. (Of course, them what points it out are exactly the ones you need to fear, eh ?).
Maybe it's time that the folks in the Hamptons try to get along without all those pesky "common people" who just don't get it.

Andy Griffith, 1926 - 2012 RIP div
Before he became a "sheriff, " he was a stand-up comic and little known "country caricature."
Many of us grew up with Sheriff Andy Taylor, Opie, Aunt Bea and a whole host of characters from Mayberry.
It's hard to watch your childhood die ..........
Guess we ain't learning' div
Out there on the road today. Lots of news about Barclay's Bank. More corporate fuckery and no one going to jail. Oh yeah, they paid a fine.
This morning's Post talks of Glaxo getting fined over 3 (yeah three) billion (yep! BILLION) bucks for fraud. Rumor has it that the raked in thirty-six BILLION on the sale of the aforementioned drugs (for those of you un-challenged by the math, thats 10%). Some penalty. Why hasn't a judge said, ..."oh yeah, in addition to the money, have three of your officers, four directors and 10 stockholders here on Tuesday and have them bring their toothbrushes." The next thing these "job creators" get to hear is ... this is Snake, your cellmate."
A CRIME has been been committed. Doesn't anybody have to pay a penalty ?? Money (a "fine' for those of you paying attention) isn't a penalty, it's an expense. Maybe the kids selling dope on the corner should incorporate and then just pay a fine, eh ??
Then there's Bank of Amerika; and you wonder why your CD pays .55% ???? How many of these assholes are going to get a bonus this year (betcha don't have enough fingers, eh ??).
J P Morgan Chase might have lot nine billion bucks of other people's money.
What's it going to take for all the folks that know better to know better ??
Corporations ain't fuckin' people. Currently, they are fuckin' people - - and the fuckees are you and me, neighbor. What are we gonna run out of first ...... lamp posts or rope ??? And when ????

Racing to the Bottom div
While I was out Driving 4$$, the mini-bears were trolling the inter-tubes (gotta shut down the machine when I'm out hunting for dead moose). Anyhow, this is what was left on the desk .............
We continue to do all we can to increase stupid:
Down on the Bayou, Bobby J. ahas decided to cut spending for libraries. It isn't like people don't need them (and they're probably the most important building in any community) but they may give some folks access to something that some other folks don't like.
Down in South Carolina, the female governor vetoes a bill to put out info on the need for the HPV (I heard that a 16-year old male wondered if he needed the vaccine). Even better, the legislature upholds the veto - - and you thought the girl in the beauty contest was a ditz ?? Maybe it's the water.
North of there, the sea mocks the state senate. Is there someone there named Cnute thinking this shit up? Maybe he was a republican too.
Down in Texas, the republicans enshrine the banning of critical thinking in their party platform. I'm sure St Ronald would agree with this (are there any sane people there ??).
Tennessee outlaws puberty. Maybe we should outlaw drinking water Georgians off (everyone knows what fish do in it, and besides, where will it lead?).
Down in Mississippi (ha !! I still know how to spell it) the chairman of the tea party is calling for open rebellion in light of the Supreme's ruling on the ACA. I personally loved the part about "treason against the Constitution." At least he didn't mention moving to Canada to escape the curse of "socialized medicine."
Then there's Mittens saying that every student should get as much education as they can afford. Wow, what a concept. That should really help us have a meritocracy - - - especially if we close the libraries. How much damage have the sons of the rich and famous already done ??
As you can probably figure out, these are the folks that want to (or already) lead all or a portion of our nation. I can't for the life of me comprehend how anyone with a partially working mind could ever contemplate ever voting for one of these folks or their ideological brethren (or sisteren).
Makes about as much sense as a duck riding a bicycle.
