Youtubery

This guy has brass ones. and this guy is suicidal. That's like biking through an 8,558 foot long cigarette. Seriously the air in that tunnel is so poor it probably takes an hour off your life each time you drive it let alone sprinting on a bike.

Selling Votes

...as only the DNC can. DNC Superdelegate Puts His Vote Up For Sale Steven Ybarra Wants $20 Million For His Vote It's OK though because he wants to spend it on illegal alien voter registration Mexican-American voters. Right. None of that money would be redirected, squandered, stolen or what have you.

Full Circle

Everything is coming around full circle. But Liu is investing $10 million in the Palmetto State, building a printing-plate factory that will open this fall and hire 120 workers. His main aim is to tap the large American market, but when his finance staff penciled out the costs, he was stunned to learn how they compared with those in China. Liu spent about $500,000 for seven acres in Spartanburg -- less than one-fourth what it would cost to buy the same amount of land in Dongguan, a city in southeast China where he runs three plants. U.S. electricity rates are about 75% lower, and in South Carolina, Liu doesn't have to put up with frequent blackouts. About the only major thing that's more expensive in Spartanburg is labor. Liu is looking to offer $12 to $13 an hour there, versus about $2 an hour in Dongguan, not including room and board.

As with most things in politics (especially things that annoy liberals) it remains undefined.

I googled for a definition of "windfall" profit. The best I could come up with is this: Windfall Main Entry: wind·fall Listen to the pronunciation of windfall Pronunciation: \ˈwin(d)-ˌfȯl\ Function: noun Date: 15th century 1 : something (as a tree or fruit) blown down by the wind 2 : an unexpected, unearned, or sudden gain or advantage Windfall Definition Money received
