The kids behind the ACORN "sting"

This Hannah Giles broad is hot, no?*

And yes, Hannah, it is amazing what girls think about when they're jogging.

Chuck Rangel, Tax Cheat


The clock is ticking on tax cheat Charlie Rangel


By: Byron York

"Last week, we learned that Rangel filed a grossly misleading financial disclosure report for 2007 -- failing to report at least half a million dollars in assets.

It turns out Rangel had a credit union account worth at least $250,000 and maybe as much as $500,000 -- and didn't report it. He had investment accounts worth about the same, which he also didn't report. Ditto for three pieces of property in New Jersey.

Beyond that, we've learned that Rangel has failed to report assets totaling more than $1 million on legally required financial disclosure forms going back to at least 2001.

The news comes on top of revelations last year that Rangel didn't report -- and didn't pay taxes on -- income from a villa in the Caribbean. In that matter, the Internal Revenue Service gave him sweetheart treatment; Rangel paid about $10,000 in back taxes but was not required to pay any penalty or interest."

Democracy

The principle that the majority have a right to rule the minority, practically resolves all government into a mere contest between two bodies of men, as to which of them shall be masters, and which of them slaves; a contest, that - however bloody - can, in the nature of things, never be finally closed, so long as man refuses to be a slave. -- Lysander Spooner

Cheaper, Tastier, HFCS free Cereal

I have been a fan of Mom's Best cereal for a while now. They have a wide variety of tasty, High Fructose Corn Syrup free cereals that are very inexpensive. However, at the grocery store I was interested in a more fruity variety of cereal than those currently in the Mom's Best line up. I very much enjoyed the Annie's Fruity Bunnies that I recently bought, but was looking for something more in my preferred price range with a similar level of fruitiness.

I stumbled on Hospitality Fruit Whirls.* They were only $2 per pound, or $1 for the 8 oz box I purchased. I had very little to lose, and with a lack of HFCS and a claim of being somewhat "natural" I was sold. As to the taste, delicious. Better than Froot Loops from what I remember. The only downside, more sugars than Froot Loops or Froot Loops Reduced Sugar (and added salt). Similarly, it has more sugar than Fruity Bunnies. However, being half the price of Annie's and often less than half the price of the Kellogg's products, Fruity Whirls remain an excellent bargain and delicious.

I plan on checking out their other varieties of "Hospitality" cereal the next time I visit the store. For only a buck, I feel like I have little to lose.



*Really, this is the best I could do for a website.
