crap in the news...

30,000 inmates in California prisons have refused their meals in protest of unfair treatment.
You know, first of all, THEY are the ones going hungry. Great way to protest. I mean really, you're criminals, why should I care if you don't eat? And 2nd, you're criminals and you're protesting unfair treatment??? What? OK, to be honest, it appears that they don't like long term solitary confinement. That's what they're protesting. They're fellow inmates don't get to be mean to anybody else. So sad.
 
Next up;
Did you happen to see the article on Yahoo about immigration reform? It had to do with the lack of cherry pickers and apple pickers and corn pickers. All that produce is going to rot on the ground because they can’t get any illegal’s to work for them. The best part of the article was the comment section afterwards. It was full of suggestions like, let’s put welfare recipients to work. Let’s get the prison system involved. Oh, and how many unemployed American’s are there?? What I didn’t see though were any comments directed toward the obvious agenda of the article. Hmmmm. People really can be so dense!
 
And I know this isn’t exactly new news but it’s crap nonetheless;
Cronuts. Need I say more?
 
IRS chief Danny Werfel told employees on Tuesday he's working to stop bonuses and instead cut back on furloughs.
The news comes after an outcry over IRS plans to award $70 million in bonuses by Sept. 30. Werfel told his 90,000 Internal Revenue Service workforce that he aims to reverse the plan to award bonuses, according to a memo. He blamed the move on the sequester -- the $85 billion in forced spending cuts that has hit all federal agencies.
In MY home state, government workers didn’t get a raise for  2 years because the budget couldn’t afford it. And bonuses? Forget about it. I don’t have anything else to say about that.

And lastly; Barbie got a “real” make-over. Here is the Barbie you grew up with alongside what a “real” girl would like. Oh I know all about teaching your daughters to love themselves etc. But Barbie? That’s how you want to start to change a whole culture?
