Yeah, DC Sucks Too
I rip on California and Detroit a lot, but don't forget DC where carrying gun SHELL CASINGS (not bullets, the casings) is illegal if they don't match the caliber of your gun.
Contrast to Wyoming where the state tendered legislation BANNING ANY CITY from making laws that restrict gun rights UNDER PENALTIES OR REMOVAL FROM OFFICE.

Watering My Plant With Diet Red Bull
This is "Moose." It's a plant I received from a friend before I left Minnesota. He's grown a lot and I think that is in part because of my experimental watering habits. I figured he's a bachelor like me and therefore would like to drink the things I do.
Rumpleminze of course is out of the question, but he has responded quite well to old coffee. Figured I'd see if Moose likes Red Bull.

Working for Baby Boomer Bosses
AKA "How Gen Y is Completely, Hopelessly and Totally Screwed" Part 5.
There are, however, some important observations about how the private sector and corporate America has become so impaired due to the people under it's employ that NOTHING can get done, and certainly, there's no hope it will "save" the country. Instead of productivity, we worry about "corporate social responsibility." Instead of efficiency and profit, we worry about the customer's feelings. And dare any of you young go getters come up with an idea or innovation that may make/save millions, you will be disciplined.
Enjoy the decline!

Another Reason Not to Move to Sweden
Mercy, they have a "Department of Culture."
What is sick and wrong is how everybody is smiling.
Oh well:

Obama Is Doing This On Purpose
I learned about 3 years ago that arguing with people who are ignorant or misinformed is pointless, especially if they have a zealot like faith in their ideology. You're not going to get through to them because their belief comes FIRST, reality, fact and truth comes second, if not are to be ignored altogether.
So it's instances like this where I ask the left,
"Do you REALLY believe this is going to work better than allowing the Keystone Pipeline through?"
It forces them to take an untenable position to further defend their leader and their ideology to the point they look like complete idiots.
I now await the left's rationale/excuse/reasoning that is going to be nowhere near Realityville.
No, seriously, I am. I'm breaking out my lawn chair, going to get some popcorn and will be entertained to see how you socialist zealots lie-to-yourselves out of this one. Please, go ahead, I await your nonsensical drivel.

The Captain's Jazz Lounge
From a reader! A relative of his is in the band. I'm not a big fan of Salsa music because of its repetitive nature, but this is certainly some of the better latin music I've heard:
$170,000 for a Bachelors in Photography
Whew! Dodged a HAYOOOOOOGE bullet there!
My favorite is how the liberal arts major will typically marry an engineer, spend the majority of the money, and have the gall to claim they're an "independent" person.
Perhaps he could have bought her "Worthless" as an engagement gift? Would have saved a lot of troubles and the romance.

Argentinian Default v 2.0
Argentina defaulted on its debts back in 1999.
A socialist government came to power.
They nationalized private pensions.
Everybody in the west fawns over their impressive economic growth
Until....
it looks like they're going to default again DESPITE nationalizing foreign interests.
I'm still trying to figure out how Argentina not only got access to the capital markets after it stiffed its creditors 13 years ago, but how private western companies thought it would be a good idea to invest there.
Oh well, everybody enjoy that decline!

I Burned the Fish
The diet I must follow along with my workout routine recommends healthy meats such as fish and poultry. I bought a pan to cook these meats and learned that I get easily distracted by things and so it is usually when the fish is burning that I remembered I was in the middle of cooking.
It is because of my genetic predisposition to be a bad cook that I envy bachelors like this.
It also behooves the question:
Is cooking one of those skills that is akin to dancing that attracts the ladies? I would say no, in that there is no attention-begetting qualities for the women if the guy is a good cook. Just the utility that comes with eating great food. Dancing, however, does beget attention, however, there is no real consumptive utility.
On a related note! I want the moon one!
Dang, I love it with courting and economics collide.

From Our Brazilian Man in the Field
I forgot about this one a while ago. Sent in a by a reader. It's from (reddit) I believe - comments in regards to Worthless. Today's word is "delusional." The comments can also be called "priceless."
I guess, perhaps I was misled about the open-mindedness of the youngest generation when I spoke to those college kids in Dallas.

Why Young Boys Have Trouble Dating Girls
Because, if you're like me when I was that age, you overestimated them and their intelligence.
I think this earns a Double Palm Face Plant Award:

Ooo...This One is PAINFUL
Oh don't worry dear. Once government funds start to run low and the Chinese won't lend us money anymore, all those social programs and cushy-make-work public sector jobs will go away. You won't be "out-earning" men for much longer. The rest of it is also equally painful, but laughably enjoyable when a feminist even admits she drank the kool-aid.
I Failed at Tornado Chasing
Epic failure, came nowhere NEAR the bleeping storms. But I think I know why the storms and tornadoes therein were so far to the east:
Reason #4,297 Not to Date a Feminist
Holy mercy. Look at the female-centric view of dating on this one. Forget rape, but look at how deluded and psychotic she is about how you (meaning, men) should consider her feelings about when you go in for an unwelcomed first kiss at the end of the date.
I can see a nervous Poindexter getting the gall to go in for that first kiss, only to get a lecture about how uncomfortable that made the little princess. Reminds me how I got yelled at after I took a girl to see "The Great Raid" because she was a pacifist and I should have known that!

How Gen Y is Completely, Hopelessly, and Totally Screwed Part 3
Hope and change kids! Hope and change!
Yes, What He Said
A thoughtful post that most people are thinking, but he was kind enough to take the time out of his life to articulate.
