Massive quantities of mutant and dying seafood animals being found in the Gulf, with the oil spill being the likely cause. Fish with lesions, crabs without claws, shrimp without eyes or eye sockets, ect.

Either an oil spill, or someone's been messing about with the raws.

The mutant/ deformed/ unhealthy sealife story has not been in the local news.

Well, it was just published today (that AJ story was the original source), so you can probably expect to see it on the news in about 2 days or so.

Gulf coast here, been hearing rumors of this for months now, but every time it comes up some lab somewhere claims they've been doing studies and have found nothing out of the ordinary. Fishermen claim odd things, science types claim nothing unusual.

Every once in a while I hear republicans say something about 48% of Americans not paying taxes. Does anyone know what in the world they are talking about?

Which is silly anyway, as there are many more taxes to go around, like property tax and sales tax. Finding someone who actually pays no taxes at all is difficult.

I'm sure you'll find plenty in kindergardens.

Look, if we keep coddling these poor people, they won't have any incentive to work hard and it'll wreck our economy.  It's unethical.  Instead we need to coddle the rich, because,

They work hard, obviously.

[Leafsnail]

You can only get poor people to work harder by paying them less, while you can only get rich people to work harder by paying them more.  I don't see what part of this is hard for people to get.

How does paying rich people more make them work harder?
