It&#8217;s amazing how leaving a few letters out can leave me scratching my head.  &#8220;Oh, you mean profile!&#8221;  But really, do the details matter?  I mean, it&#8217;s not like a dry ink bottle and a dry ink waste bottle are all that different &#8211; they both contain basically the same thing&#8230;. right?<\/p>\n<p>The award for &#8220;We Really didn&#8217;t think our domain name through&#8221; this week goes to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.expertsexchange.com\/\">ExpertSexChange.com<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.penisland.net\/\">PenisLand.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I keep getting surprised at movies I rent.  I watched Without a Paddle last night and it was actually a good movie.  Either that, or the with all the crap Hollywood&#8217;s been putting out lately it just seemed like a good movie.  I&#8217;d give it a B- I suppose.<\/p>\n<p>Manchurian Candidate was just Conspiracy Theory all over again.  Still decent I guess.  Another B-<\/p>\n<p>Blade 2 was disappointing.  I&#8217;m pretty sure the days of good trilogies are gone.  I&#8217;ve heard that the third installment is even worse.  As long as it doesn&#8217;t top the Matrix for &#8220;Biggest Trilogy Letdown Ever&#8221;  Uhg. C+<\/p>\n<p>I actually went and saw a movie at a theater!  Sideways wasn&#8217;t as good as everyone kept saying it was, but it was a good story with decent acting and some funny bits to it.  At least rent it when it comes out if you haven&#8217;t seen it yet. B<\/p>\n<p>If you thought I had too much time on my hands, you obviously haven&#8217;t seen <a href=\"http:\/\/www.09h09.com\/\">this guy.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Not that I ever comment on politics, but Bush is brilliant.<br \/>\n&#8221; Some in our country think that Social Security is a trust fund &#8212; in other words, there&#8217;s a pile of money being accumulated. That&#8217;s just simply not true. The money &#8212; payroll taxes going into the Social Security are spent. They&#8217;re spent on benefits and they&#8217;re spent on government programs. There is no trust. We&#8217;re on the ultimate pay-as-you-go system &#8212; what goes in comes out. And so, starting in 2018, what&#8217;s going in &#8212; what&#8217;s coming out is greater than what&#8217;s going in. It says we&#8217;ve got a problem. And we&#8217;d better start dealing with it now. The longer we wait, the harder it is to fix the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, if you&#8217;re a person who is retired or near retirement, nothing will change, there is enough money. You&#8217;re in good shape. I know there are some who have heard talk about Social Security around the country here, saying, oops, he&#8217;s going to take away my check. That&#8217;s not going to happen. I don&#8217;t care what the rhetoric is, what the mailings say, what the TV ads say, you&#8217;re in good shape. It&#8217;s the younger workers who ought to be asking the members of the Congress and the President of the United States, what are you going to do to fix the problem. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>See?  Brilliant.  Why didn&#8217;t anyone else see this coming?  What he&#8217;s saying is that Social Security is broken, but if you&#8217;re an old person, don&#8217;t worry about it, you&#8217;ll be fine&#8230; we&#8217;re just going to screw the generation after you.  They don&#8217;t vote as much as you&#8230; so you&#8217;re fine for now.  We can drop a bomb in a 3 foot wide hole to level a building halfway around the world, but we still don&#8217;t quit grasp basic accounting.<\/p>\n<p>And we&#8217;ll leave you with <a href=\"http:\/\/alienlovespredator.com\/index.php?id=68\">this parting gift<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Had a call from a user the other day, thought I&#8217;d share: &#8220;I have tried to print my open orders to Xerox printer, but nothing is coming out.
