Guess the Pentagon is still using the same “accountants” it had when Rumsfeld was there.

Ah yes, 9/10, "there's 2 billion missing at the Pentagon...", then 9/11, the very office with all the accounting records taken out by Saudi pilots unable to land a Piper aircraft during training. Move along, nothing to see here...

Yes it was Professor Skidmore from the University of Michigan his students audited the Hud and the pentagon and came up with 21 trillion dollars missing. In the last year doctor skidmore has been canceled for some other damming audit.

It's been sold out for months in advance. Hard to believe, given how woke much of Austin is and how the local newspaper daily spews woke dogma and neocon propaganda. I guess the city council hasn't gotten around to outlawing laughter yet.

Floridians, help me understand something. I recently visited the Miami area for a few days and was struck by how much seemingly race-blind financial success I saw. Everywhere we went, we saw so-called POC living in luxury high rises, dining in upscale restaurants, driving expensive cars, partying on expensive yachts. Indeed, most of the affluent people we saw and interacted with seemed to be POC. I understand the demographics of the Miami area, and I also know something about the legacy of racism in the South. But, I don't understand how, if Blacks have it so bad in Florida, so many seem to be extremely successful financially.

Seriously. The ‘white privilege’ truck failed to deliver to my family’s neck of the woods. I grew up in a ‘Cracker’ style house built around the turn of the 20th century. Lighted by kerosene lamps, heated by fireplaces and devoid of indoor plumbing.

Long ago I saw a picture of the home MLK was said to have grown up in; a large 2 story white frame home. I was shocked. I would have considered that to be a mansion. I definitely would not have been embarrassed to have friends see it.

When I see video clips of ordinary black people being interviewed for news stories inside and outside their homes, they all appear to be living finer than me on my 30 year pension and Social Security.

I have a friend who grew up in similar conditions, and when as an older adult she volunteered at our local, private charitable organization, she was always amazed - the clients had better phones than she did even then, and their sense of entitlement astounded her.

Yes; to this very day I still buy slightly used vehicles and pay cash on the barrelhead. But they always had massive car payments. The worst I remember was one man back in the 1990's who had a $1400 monthly truck payment.

Paying interest is for people who want to impress other people who they will never even meet.

When I worked at an inner city middle school, most all the students had smartphones and would laugh at my old android. They called it a ‘house phone.’

The receptionist desk there prominently displayed information for parents on how to get free internet.

That’s why we pay so much for it. We’re carrying others we don’t know about on our plans.

Life long Floridian since the 1970’s here. Miami has always been another country inside our state. Now since Covid lockdowns/ mandates, it has grown even more. Definitely a melting pot. I’ve had a few family members live in Miami. Just like any other big city, you’ll have the affluent, the upper to middle class, and then poverty/ sketchy areas. Sounds like you were in the good areas! Also as a Floridian, we aren’t from the “South.” Geographically we are, but we’re not racist. We’re accepting of all people. Hell, we even let Nancy Pelosi live here!

Last, but definitely not least, not all Floridians are UF Gator fans.

I have to put it aside, look to my own actions and remind myself that “The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.”

😂 I just can't stop being amazed at that bastard Poe's law never tiring of winning 😁

PS If some memories could use gentle refreshing:

🗨 Poe's law is an adage of internet culture saying that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.

Thank you! I had not heard of Poe's law. My first inclination was that it had to do with Edgar Allan Poe. Not yet ready for Jeopardy.

NAAPC which would fit their political correctness.

Expand full comment
daiva's avatar

The first inclinations date us mightily, don't they? 😁

If I had to venture a low-stakes guess: Among the online crowd, Edgar Allan would fare worse than Nathan (the guy who lent his name to interwebz' law). Not that Nathan is common knowledge either 🤭

PS A clever question for Jeopardy that will never be! 👌

I actually looked it up from tax records. Approx taxable value $275k (seems low?) Google maps shows a VERY nice house, palm trees and vaulted porch. Certainly "better" than my house. I wouldn't trade him, tho.

Yeah that seems low but maybe they have a reduction compared to the actual value for te taxable value. We have a kind of credit in my state that reduces the taxable amount if it’s your main residence.
