#1 Someone care to explain just what the fuck they mean by 'building the economy from the middle out'? I have yet to hear anything logical about this relatively new vapid Dem talking point.

#2 Big Mac, fries and a coke -- and change back from your dollar.

#3 As of this morning, a real silver dollar is worth $17.51. It's not that the prices are outrageous, but that your money is worth less/worthless. Brought to you by all them fancy ivy league economists and carpet bagging politicians.

#5 Bloomberg is reporting Thanksgiving dinner will be cheaper than last year's dinner.
Is it Forbes or Bberg owned by the Chinese?

#7 #1 "From the middle out". Freudian -slip euphemism for gutting the middle class.

#8 ...The last time we ate at McDs, it was just shy of $20 for the two of us. And they still couldn't get the order right.

#10 Nearby McD's closes. Happy happy. Maybe we'll get a decent taco shop or something. About a week later: "Hiya, sailor!" Meanwhile, a mile away at a busy intersection that could probably support a second Xirmaids, a big corner lot sits empty for over a decade.

And at me favorite big chain grocery, the runt of Manson's grandkids has been sporting a red-on-black kefiyyeh the past couple of weeks. Face and all. Me, cheerful like: "Backin' the Pals, are ya?" No answer. Panicked darting eyes. Possibly overcome by envy of me homemade Beitar badge. Guess that's it for this week's California Report.

#11 Why try to get blood from a stone
Or to pry loose a big doggy's bone
When right in the middle,
Pressed flat on a griddle,
A fat burgher fries, all alone?

#12 And speaking of oppressive taxation, and witch trials...

"Hysterical puritan ladies
Condemned one another to Hades
For mystical men!
Could this happen again?"
Asked a tablet beside the Euphrates.

#14 As witnesses rise, others fall
Or are pressed to death under a pall,
And she is a witch
Who is white, or won't snitch:
Spectral racism justifies all.
