Here's a coupla things I know for sure. First and foremost, if you asked a sampling of the people participating in these protests what they were actually for, 97% of 'em couldn't give you an answer they didn't see on a banner or poster - which, by the way, none of them have any clue where those banners actually came from. They also won't be able to tell who or why someone is paying them to be there, but ubetcher ass somebody's ponying up somewhere...

I will reiterate what I discussed the other day that some people chose to critique. This time, however, it's directly from Forbes, and if they don't know the true numbers, nobody does.
There was no winning combination drawn in last night's Powerball drawing, so the next drawing will be somewhere around 1.3bil. According to Forbes, The six numbers drawn on Monday night were 8, 23, 25, 40, 53, and red Powerball 5.
If a winner emerges in the next draw, they can choose between taking the $1.3 billion prize spread over 30 annualized payments or a one-time lump sum cash payout of $589 million—the preferred choice for most winners.
If the lump sum payment is chosen, the winnings will drop to around $447.6 million after a mandatory federal withholding of 24% is applied.
Depending on their taxable income, the winner could face a federal marginal rate as high as 37%, which would further reduce their winnings to $371 million.
If the winner chooses the installment route, their annual payments of around $43.3 million would drop to $27.3 million if the 37% federal marginal rate is applied.
The winner may also face additional taxes based on their state of residence, as some, such as New York, tax lottery winnings at a rate of 10.9%, while others, including Texas and Florida, don’t.

Real art is basic emotion. If a scene is handled with simplicity - and I don't mean simple - it'll be good, and the public will know it.

It does fascinate me how incredibly fuckin' angry some of these cartoonists are. There's just no reason to draw - let alone publish - shit like this. What possible good could come from it, beyond fanning the flames of the loonie lefties? Juss' sayin'...
