    The Times was being kind to the Tour d'Argent, I think. Sure, some of their problem probably comes from the recession, but they lost two of their three stars, their revenues would be way down no matter what the economy was doing.

    Sidenote: doesn't Tour d'Argent mean Tower of Money? Because whoa, irony.

    I have absolutely no problems with paying tax. That said...I wish my money didn't have to benefits asshats like the sign holder.

    Some want to opt out of Social Security because they think they can manage their money better than the Government. I want to opt out in the name of spite.

    And my sign says:

    "I'd Love to Be Overtaxed and Socialist If I knew When I'd Have My Next Meal."

    That's pretty obvious considering this sign wasn't inked in their own saliva and blood and excrement. Which is pretty much all the poors have left with which to communicate.

    @miss_msry: My sign says "I'd rather have scurvy and rickets than affordable healthcare because I'm a dumbass who thinks lowering taxes on billionaires is actually going to stimulate the economy or help my sorry, sick ass in any way." On the other side it says "Go Tigers."

    @Brad Brown: My backup plan was moving to Northern California and growing pot, but after pot is legalized the market will just be taken over by Archer Midlands or Smithfield Farms. I may have to join you in the porn, but I've heard times are getting hard (no pun intended) for the pornmeisters because there is too much free stuff on the internets. I'm thinking Ponzi scheme may be the way to go.

    Something tells me this person isn't overtaxed. It also seems like they ran into a space problem with the final "t."

    @MyNameIsChris: More like a plug-ignorant illiteracy problem (spelled socialist as "socialis" ~ not the first time I have seen that) patched up at the ninth hour. No wonder the poor bastard is unemployable.

    how the hell is OTB $80m in debt when (according to the article) they make $1b in bets every year? Don't they take a cut on the payout? Unless Monty Brewster rolled in and put $50,000 on every longshot to win at Aqueduct, how the hell is it a losing business?

    @lobstr: Any business can lose money if it spends more money than it takes in. Something tells me that gamblers and low overhead don't go together.

    Been there, done that. I've seen everyone in concert including the Beatles, and quite frankly you'd have to pay me to go on the NYC, Milan, Paris fashion fuck circuit again.

    Why does the phrase "I am a hot female with blonde hair and big boobs" just conjure of the image of a tranny-looking washed up porn star in my head?


    Thank God I date brunettes

    Possibly because real women don't describe themselves using such dumbass tired phrases.


    And I am blonde with large breasts and I wouldn't date you, either.
