EYE CANDY FOR THE HOLIDAYS!

State of America, 2006

From the New York Sun (12/21/2006) via the Drudge Report (12/22/2006):

Of the city's births in 2005, 52% of them were paid for by Medicaid, the government health program for the poor. Of women giving birth in New York City, 44% were unmarried.

2006 Person of the Year

The Fairbank Report’s Person of the Year for Calendar Year 2006 is Diana, Princess of Wales. Nearly a decade after her death, the princess can still stoke controversy from the grave. Last week, it was revealed that the Clinton Administration, yes the same Clintons who opposed President Bush’s electronic monitoring of evil-doers, had spied on the late princess as late as hours before her tragic death in 1997.

For at least the next 50 years, Princess Diana will remain a global iconic figure, just as Che Guevarra is an icon in Latin America and Mao Zedong is an icon in China and indeed beyond China.

Without Govt, Some Guys Will Just Starve

I am walking around downtown L.A., and I see all these government "workers" (in name only) lounging about in the morning, mid-day and late afternoon. These guys are raking in great salaries and excellent benefits for doing very little.

Fat and lazy, these government employees spend their time coveting each other's future pension benefits. In the interim, they don't pick up the phone when it rings; they deliver services with a grunt (if you're lucky) or a vicious sneer.

LA County employees are the worst.

Without government, these obese and unskilled morons will literally starve away, or possibly riot.
