The World is Waking up : How Capitalism is reshaping the rest of the world in Americas Image

I spent last evening drinking triple distilled vodka in the form of Caipirinha with my neighbors here in Brazil.  The current batch are all girls and are from Spain, Columbia. *( all girls, damn the luck ).  Their friend Camilo was here and they were trying to take advantage of the airline weekend promotions to get cheap tickets to Rio de Janeiro.  A few observational notes: 1- There are approximately 1 laptop per person no matter what country they are from  ( and you have to be careful it does not get stolen! ) 2- Some of their degrees are strange.  Read more…

Wesley Snipes Gets Three 3 years For Tax Misdemeanors Proves The worst crime is not murder but rather to not pay your taxes

Close your eyes: Now imagine the worst think you can possibly imagine.   Murder, heinous acts of wanton violence.  Children killed. Now know this. When the federal government does the same thing it imagines you not paying your taxes. Wesley Snipes was convicted today of tax misdemeanors and sentenced to 3 years in jail. Not felonies………Misdemeanors.  In tax court you are essentially considered guilty until proven innocent.  In a murder case you would be presumed innocent until proven guilty.  And thus I believe the worst crime in the government’s eyes is if you do not pay your taxes. A sad state of affairs.  In Read more…

Popeye the Sayler Man

The origin of Saler man is when I was talking to a Brazilian friend whose English is very good if you consider he has never been to an English speaking country.  He tried to say a person was a salesman.  "He is a Saylor-Man" was how it came out.  Ever since then I call salesmen sailor men. On a side note we were driving down a highway in Brazil and we drove past an attractive young lady selling her body to people by the side of the highway.  He saw here and said "she’s a road horse"…which was pretty funny considering Read more…

Great Conversions: I now believe in Global Warming, Save the Blind Pirates!

I read this article:  Global Warming Causes Pirate Population Decrease The central hypothesis is that we have noticed that as the world has become more industrialized the number of pirates has indeed dropped dramatically.  The chart is clear. The evidence is irrefutable. The scientist (almost) all agree Pirate populations have suffered.  Global warming may not be the cause but should we take the risk of waiting for more research?  4 out of 5 pirates who chew gum agree.  Not only that Pirate demographics clearly show they prefer Pepsi over Coke in blind taste tests.  Save the blind Pirates!  Fight global warming.  Don’t forget to Read more…

Thus if you want to stop your coffee habit first substitute a tea based caffeine habit.  The best recipe for flavor Read more…

Referencing Solar Activity Diminishes; Researchers Predict Another Ice Age I put forward part II of the global warming challenge Global Warming Challenge Part I  consisted of my challenge to coastal property owning liberals and global warming adherents.  I proposed me buying their land at 10% market value since global warming guarantees their land to be swamped by rising sea levels very shortly. Global Warming Challenge Part II : The liberal adherents of the new religion MMGW say that we should all be compelled to pay taxes to help prevent man made global warming.   Now it appears solar activity is tailing off for Read more…
