Psychopaths reward

If it seems that your boss is a psychopath, well maybe there's a reason for that:

"… if you have psychopathic tendencies and are born to a poor family you’re likely to go to prison. If you have psychopathic tendencies and are born to a rich family you’re likely to go to business school."

- George Monbiot The Self-Attribution Fallacy

Good bye Irene

Irene good bye Irene good bye
Good bye Irene Good bye Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

Last Friday night, she blew into town,
stormy girl would not settle down,
Now me and Irene have parted,
I'll have to clean up G-Vegas round town

Some time she blew through the country,
Some time she blew through the town
Some time she took to the notion
Morpheus take up the river and drown

I love Irene, Devil knows why,
I'll love her till her winds blow dry
But if Irene should come back round,
I'd break down on my knees and cry

Stop blowin', stop winds throwin'
Stop screamin', threw the night
Go settle down on a mountain side
Leave us by our homeside bright

Irene good bye Irene good bye
Good bye Irene Good bye Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

Quote of the Day : On Americans

"it is impossible for any mind of common honesty not to be revolted by the contradictions in their principles and practice."

Francis Trollope, Domestic Manners of the Americans Vol. II (London: Whittaker, Treacher & co, 1832) 12.

When the credit breaks

If they keep on fightin', credit's goin' to break,
If they keep on fightin', credit's goin' to break,
When the credit breaks the last jobs will go away

Mean politicians taught me to weep and moan,
Mean politicians taught me to weep and moan,
Got what it takes to kick a workin' man from his home,
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.

Don't they make you feel mad
When you're tryin' to find your way home,
You don't know which way they go?
If you're goin' to DC
There's no good work they do,
If you don't know about Mexico.

Resolve won't help you, tryin' won't do you no good,
Now, workin' won't help you once the jobs are gone for good,
When the credit breaks, you and mama got to move.

All last month they screwed up the credit and moaned,
All last month they screwed up the credit and moaned,
Thinkin' about my baby and my foreclosed home.
Going, going to Mexico... Going to China... Sorry but I can't take you...
Ratein's down... credit down now... going down....

Hand me your stella and fly

You cheated yourself,
Like you knew you would
You knew you were in trouble
Now you're gone for good

Beware of loonies!

There certainly were big tax cuts.

The super rich got very big tax cuts.

It was a big tax cut mania.

It's very rich people tax cut mania.

Dominic One

One is the onlyiest number that at first you'll do
Two, you'll be terrible badder than one
It's the baddest number after number one

Know is the gladdest experience as each day is new
Your life, it's the experience that you daily do
But one is the onlyiest number at the start you do
One is the onlyiest number, worse is two

It'll be so good someday when she comes to stay
Then you can spend some time making rhymes of yesterday

One is the onlyiest, number one is first time the number
One is the only first number that you'll ever do

One is the onlyiest, number one is first time the number
One is the only first number that you'll ever do

It'll be so good someday when she comes to stay

(Number) One is the oneliest
(Number) One is the oneliest
(Number) One is the only first number that you'll ever do

(Number) One is the oneliest
(Number) One is the oneliest
(Number) One is the only first number that you'll ever do

It Gets Better

It Gets Better

It's getting better all the time
I used to get mad at those fools (though, I can complain)
Authority figures weren't cool (no, I won't complain)
They were holding me down (oh Oh)
Tried to turn me around (oh Oh)
Filling me up with their rules (Oooh)

I've got to admit it's getting better (better)
It's a little better all the time (can't get no verse)
I have to admit it's getting better (better)
It's getting better
Since I don't mind

I used to be an angry young man
Was hiding my head in the sand
Supporters gave me the word, I finally heard
Out, Doing the best that I can! w00t!

I've got to admit it's getting better (bitter)
It's a little better all the time (it can't get no worse)
I have to admit it's getting better (better)
It's getting better
Since I made up my mind

Getting so much better all the time!

It's getting better all the time
Bitter, badder, better.
It's getting better all the time
Bitter, batter, better.

They used to be cruel to myself
Beat me and kept me apart from the ones that I loved
Man was so mean but the changes I've seen
Helps me doing the best that I can (ooh)

I admit it's getting better
A little better all the time (it can't get no worse)
Yes, I admit it's getting better, it's getting better
Since he's been mine

Getting so much better all the time

It's getting better all the time
Better Better Better
It's getting better all the time
Better Better Better

This is kinda fun

Gay marriage

I just don't understand people who are against gay marriage‽

Why would anyone want their marriage to be

depressed, discouraged, sad, unhappy, upset, and worried

instead of being

alert, animate, animated, blithe, blithesome, bouncy, brash, carefree, cheerful, cheery, chipper, chirpy, confident, convivial, devil-may-care, festive, forward, frivolous, frolicsome, fun-loving, gamesome, glad, gleeful, hilarious, insouciant, jocund, jolly, jovial, joyful, joyous, keen, lighthearted, lively, merry, mirthful, playful, pleasure-seeking, presuming, pushy, rollicking, self-assertive, sparkling, spirited, sportive, sprightly, sunny, vivacious, wild, and zippy

‽

I sure hope my marriage is always gay!

A Reflectorism a day keeps humour in play

"The Greenville City Council rezoned 11.34 acres on the north side of East 10th Street/N.C. 33 to allow commercial development on Thursday night."
- The Daily Reflector, June 10, 2011

I wonder since the commercial development will only occur on Thursday nights, what will go on the other days of the week‽
