In 1985 Richard Pryor stared in a movie, Brewster's Millions. The premise is that a minor league baseball player(Richard Pryor) has to spend/waste $30m in 30 days in order to inherit $300m; however he's not allowed to tell anyone about the $300m deal.

As I was reading an article, I forget where, of all the silly shit Obama wants to fund with our tax dollars, I couldn't help compare them with the silly shit Pryor wasted his 30 million on in the movie. The scene where Richard was sitting at his desk in his hotel suite and listening to some doofus pitch a plan to bring icebergs to Africa to turn the desert into farmland was classic. Of course in the movie, John Candy was trying to tell Richard not to do it.

However, in real life, there is no one even whispering in Obama's ear that his ideas are even wackier and would waste more taxpayer money than Brewster was going to inherit.
 
Simple philosophy of mine. If there is no money in the checkbook there is nothing to spend.

you're off a couple orders of magnitude.

The more you think you have to spend the sillier the shit you spend it on.

And I wasn't comparing the amounts, just the attitude. In Brewster's case, he had to develop his in order to inherit more. With Obama, he thinks he can just print or borrow more to satisfy his natural silliness.

Anybody who criticizes Obama is accused of being a racist. This is almost as sure as death and taxes and waste in government. :(

Take your blinders off.

So, even if I'm black and a woman you think I'm a racist?
 
Thirty plus years ago my best friend gave me some advise that still pays huge dividends.

What he said was, IF SOMEONE ACCUSES YOU OF BEING A GIRAFFE, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT THEY SAY? I said, the accusation is absurd, and I'd conclude they were nutty. Then he says, SO WHY GET UPSET WHEN SOMEONE CALLS YOU DUM?

We react to flattery and name-calling in accordance with our feelings about ourselves.

People are terrified of the racist label cuz they is racists.
