The Wiener That Ate New York!

Really, Mr. Congressman? Seriously? OK, get this: about a year ago, a congressman from New York named Anthony Wiener (really) was bringing the full power of his office to bear in investigating and lambasting conservative media personality Glenn Beck. That's OK, Wiener is a liberal Democrat, and that's what they do. But it was interesting to watch the way Wiener attacked Beck: he alleged that, because one of Beck's biggest commercial sponsors was a company that sells gold, Beck was complicit in "scamming" people into investing all their money in something as foolish as gold. Bad for the stock market! Bad for investors! They'll lose all their money! Or something like that.

Those poor saps who got sucked into Beck's nefarious plot last year have been duped out of the proceeds from a stagnant stock market, and have been led down a dangerous path by which they've just about doubled their money.

As gold climbed higher, Wiener laid lower. He was all about this outrage last year, but hasn't had much to say about it since about last August.

In the meantime, another New York congressman, Republican Chris Lee, did a bad and stupid thing: he pulled something of a Brett Favre, emailing topless photos of himself to women he'd met online (women who were not, as it turns out, Mrs. Chris Lee). Lee must've known he'd be caught, and once he was, he resigned in, like, six seconds. In the ensuing special election, the Democrats took his seat, crowing about how the loss was a symbolic but overwhelming indictment of the evil Republicans' plot to destroy America through such dastardly schemes as spending cuts, debt reduction, entrepreneurship, and entitlement reform.

Yay! Good day for Wiener, and his liberal ilk! The spending, borrowing, and unsustainable public benefits would once again flow like The Mighty Mississipp'!

But wait: what's this? Turns out Wiener, who just last summer found time in his hectic Beck-bashing schedule to marry a young protege of Hillary Clinton's, has been sending tawdry self-portraits over the internet to various OTHER young women, such as a college girl in Seattle.

Really? Seriously, Congressman?

You would think he'd immediately resign, like Lee - but Wiener's not a Republican, so he feels he's done nothing wrong, and won't quit. You'd think he'd take full responsibility for his own actions - and he said he would - but he also implied that the recipients of his lewd photos were also somehow a little bit to blame. And you'd think he'd own up immediately - but he first held expensive press conferences (which you paid for) for about a week-and-a-half claiming his online account had been hacked and none of this was his fault.

As a conservative, I hope he stays. I hope the liberal party in America continues to be populated by two-faced, shameless Wieners. It makes the contrast more clear. And, in terms of having someone to poke fun at, you gotta say this for him: Wiener is worth his weight in (still skyrocketing) gold.

Now KFC is rebranding... - I love Kentucky Fried Chicken - those 11 herbs and spices. Yum yum. Of course with the interference of the government and trans fat the chicken no longer tastes the same.... but I still like it... But all that's beside the point of this post, which is that in 1991, apparently, Kentucky Fried Chicken changed its name to KFC, and now, 15 years later, they're changing it back, because last year was a down year for them. I'm confused about this, because only yesterday my brother pointed out that the reason they'd changed the name in the first place was because the state of Kentucky was going to charge them a royalty fee for the use of the word Kentucky. I've been unable to verify that... but if its true... perhaps they worked out some kind of deal... I didnt' realize that the state of New York charges non-residents taxes, if they do a portion of their work in that state. For example, when a baseball, football or basketball team comes in to New York to play a team there - the visiting team's players have to pay taxes on the income they earn from that game - to New York. As far as I'm concerned, that's outrageous!!!

That was one of the many options. Actually, I have business license in 3 different cities and 3 different counties because I do work in all those localities. Its a huge pain because at the end of the year, we have to break down every payment by the locality and then file all those different business licenses in the localities. And, of course every one has slightly different requirements about how much you can make before paying for a license or if they have a minimum or maximum amount of work that can be done before paying more. Then any amount that isn't accounted for with a different area is paid in the city where my office is located. What a pain, but they figure that if I make money in their locality, they deserve a piece of it. Chris
