Another Day Older and Deeper in Debt

Both George Bush and Donald Trump lost the popular vote and, in a civilized country, both would have quietly slunk back to their rat holes and resumed their old drug habits.

What I'm getting at is that without the Bush/Trump tax cuts, plus the continuation of the Clinton/Gore economic policies, the national debt today would be almost a complete non-issue on the campaign trail.

Oh, and a reminder that Trump alone is responsible for increasing the national debt by 40% in just four years. 'Nuff said.

There's a new company which is offering free 55" HD TVs. 500,000 of them, in fact. The only catch is the company gets to spy on you 24/7 and play advertisements in a separate screen whenever it chooses, whether you're watching it or not.

For some reason the following passage from George Orwell's "1984" came to mind:

"The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it, moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment."

And lastly, unless you're performing CPR or getting a blowie from Scarlet Johansson, drop whatever you're doing and head immediately to floor796.com. It will blow your tiny little mind. Be sure to mouse over and hold on each character. (The whole thing was created by one man. Yeah, I KNOW!)
