Nigel,

You’re correct! Not only am I an Insufferable Prick but I’m a proud member of the Homeland Security list of people who bear watching!

AG, don’t forget to capitalize that…

Insufferable Prick

And I think Dan likely qualifies as one.

Dan:

You have to be an insufferable prick to keep up….

No pun intended, of course.

Thanks Dan – we’ve actually posted that here before a few months ago but it bears repeating. Well worth a watch or two.

I was surfing this afternoon and happened across the following post at Flopping Aces. It’s a link to a cartoon made in 1948 by Harding College about freedom in America. I was absolutely floored at how prescient it was as to what has gone on in this country over the last 50 years. I agreed with the post author, this probably will be the best 9:27 you spend on the internet today!

P.S. Imagine an American college actually producing this today!

Keep up the great work!

You can’t tell from the article if the folks in ND have flood insurance (as any intelligent person who builds in a flood plain would) and they are simply waiting for a settlement OR are they wanting a flat-out government bailout of their possible stupidity?
