What Happened to All the Laughter? Altucher Confidential
What Happened to All the Laughter? Altucher Confidential: Here’s what I’ve listened to this past week (I see on my Youtube history) that I thought was funny:
“Bo Burnham’s best vine videos”
“The Lonely Island – Spell it Out”
“Louis CK sums up a bad relationship perfectly”
“Lip-sync battle with Joseph Gordon Levitt, Stephen Merchant, and Jimmy Fallon”. Particularly the Stephen Merchant part.
“Marina Funny Bits” -”Ellen Degeneres Here and Now”.

Jesus And The Dimocrat | Grouchy Old Cripple
A Republican, in a wheelchair, entered a restaurant one
afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee. The Republican
looked across the restaurant and asked, “Is that Jesus sitting over
there?”
The waitress nodded “yes,” so the Republican requested that she give Jesus a cup of coffee, on him.
The next patron to come in was a Libertarian, with a hunched
back. He shuffled over to a booth, painfully sat down, and asked the
waitress for a cup of hot tea. He also glanced across the restaurant and
asked, “Is that Jesus, over there?”
The waitress nodded, so the Libertarian asked her to give Jesus a cup of hot tea, “My treat.”
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Dimocrat
on crutches. He hobbled over to a booth, sat down, and hollered, “Hey
there honey! How’s about getting me a cold mug of Miller Light?” He too
looked across the restaurant and asked, “Isn’t that God’s boy over
there?”
The waitress nodded, so the Dimocrat directed her to give Jesus a cold beer.
“On my bill,” he said loudly.
As Jesus got up to leave, he passed by the Republican,
touched him, and said, “For your kindness, you are healed.” The
Republican felt the strength come back into his legs, got up, and began
to praise the Lord.
Jesus passed by the Libertarian, touched him, and said, “For your kindness, you are healed.”
The Libertarian felt his back straightening up, and he raised his hands, and he too began to praise the Lord.
Then, Jesus walked towards the Dimocrat, just smiling. The
Dimocrat jumped up and yelled, “Don’t touch me … I’m on disability.”

Mark Cuban calls Donald Sterling’s comments “abhorrent,” endorses maximum league punishment | Dallas Morning News
Here is more of what Mark Cuban had to say:
What Donald said was wrong,” Cuban said. “It was abhorrent.
There’s no place for racism in the NBA, any business I’m associated
with, and I don’t want to be associated with people who have that
position.
“But at the same time, that’s a decision I make. I think you’ve got
to be very, very careful when you start making blanket statements about
what people say and think, as opposed to what they do. It’s a very, very
slippery slope.
“Again, there’s no excuse for his positions. There’s no excuse for
what he said. There’s no excuse for anybody to support racism. There’s
no place for it in our league, but there’s a very, very, very slippery
slope.
“If it’s about racism and we’re ready to kick people out of the
league, OK? Then what about homophobia? What about somebody who doesn’t
like a particular religion. What about somebody who’s anti-semitic What
about a xenophobe?
“In this country, people are allowed to be morons.”

AMERICAN DIGEST Essays, News, Notes, and Quotes: Stop choosing grey men who seem comfortable, but fail to change the system. The Left is brittle and a little mass resistance will go a long way. But, don't fool yourself, without active resistance there will be no change. This habit of retreating from The Left will ruin us all, you included. Putting off this fight only increases the numbers of us that must fight and the destruction from that fight

AMERICAN DIGEST Essays, News, Notes, and Quotes: “There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public.
Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.... as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.” - Booker T. Washington, 1911

The Pig Trap � Taxicab Depressions
The Pig Trap � Taxicab Depressions: One million seconds ago was eleven days ago.
One billion seconds ago was 1982.
One trillion seconds ago was 30,000 BC. Mankind was eating worms and the paleolithic equivalent of roadkill, the assault weapon of the day was a stone axe or a really strong pointy stick, and we had not yet domesticated the dog.

Daily Meditations with Fr. Alfonse: Luke 12:39-48 Entrusted With So Much
Daily Meditations with Fr. Alfonse: Luke 12:39-48 Entrusted With So Much: " I sometimes imagine that at the end of my life I will be handed a few lists outlining all the things I complained about; all the time I wasted; all the excuses I made, and all the things (throughout my life) I considered to be very important. I fear that moment may be a bit embarrassing - not so much for what is on my lists - but when I compare it to God’s immense love and mercy I received throughout my life."
I fear this as well. I imagine God showing me all the people I could have helped and how their lives would have been changed if I cooperated with His grace to help them or serving them by a small act of love and didn't! Or all the times I complained to Jesus about my troubles, or what I thought was important, or what I loved more than HIm and see the fullblown "bad fruits" of it. The veil will be lifted. I am terrified..

Garlic contains
a substance that is particularly effective in encounters with even the

Copenhagen will soon be defending his PhD thesis on the positive

a substance that is particularly effective in encounters with even the
hardiest bacterial strains. A young researcher at the University of
Copenhagen will soon be defending his PhD thesis on the positive
properties of the malodorous plant.
Aggressive
multi-resistant infections constitute an increasing health problem all
over the world. Bacteria are developing resistance at an alarming pace,
so new pharmaceuticals that can combat this threat are in great demand.
"We
know that there is a potent chemical compound in the garlic plant that
neutralises resistant bacteria by paralysing their communication system.
My PhD thesis demonstrates that ajoene -- the substance present in
garlic -- specifically prevents the bacteria from secreting the toxin
rhamnolipid which destroys white blood cells in the body. White blood
cells are indispensable because they play a crucial role in the immune
defence system, not only warding off infection, but also killing
bacteria," explains Tim Holm Jakobsen, PhD Student at the Faculty of
Health and Medical Sciences, who will be defending his thesis on 21
February.
A tough sheath of biofilm
When
bacteria clump together in what is known as biofilm -- where they
surround themselves with a tough film of organic materials -- they
become resistant to antibiotics. Researchers have been devoting much of
their attention to Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, which cause
infections in patients with chronic leg ulcers, for example, and in the
lungs of patients suffering from cystic fibrosis.
"Ajoene
supports and improves treatment with conventional antibiotics. We have
clearly demonstrated this on biofilm cultivated in the laboratory and in
trials involving mice. When we add antibiotics to biofilm they have
very little effect, and ajoene alone barely makes any difference. It is
only when the two are combined that something significant happens,"
explains Tim Holm Jakobsen.
Combination treatment with ajoene and antibiotics kills more than 90 per cent of the normally virulent biofilm.
From
a technical perspective, the ajoene blocks the communication system --
known as Quorum Sensing -- in the bacteria, which is used for purposes
including creating infection.
Chemists outstrip nature
A
large number of natural substances have proved extremely effective as
medicines; taxol from the yew tree is used to treat breast cancer, for
example, while artemisinin from sweet wormwood is effective against
malaria. However, to improve on the original substances from nature --
and to assure sustainable pharmaceutical production -- researchers are
working to augment natural materials through chemical synthesis.
"Garlic
contains so little ajoene that you would need to eat around 50 a day to
achieve the desired effect. This means we have to pick up the ball from
Mother Nature and run with it," says Tim Holm Jacobsen, who hopes that
the pharmaceutical industry will be quick to turn its attention to
producing of the natural substance to which the research group currently
holds the patent.
"There's a lot of money in pharmaceuticals for
treating chronic illnesses such as diabetes, but if we are to win the
race against bacteria, we need to bring new antibiotics into play.
Nature is a great starting point for developing medicines -- two-thirds
of all new pharmaceuticals are based on natural substances," concludes
Tim Holm Jakobsen.

Curmudgeonly & Skeptical presents Boned Jello
Paul
Harvey
Conveniently Forgotten Facts.
Back in 1969 a group of Black Panthers decided that
a fellow black
panther named Alex Rackley needed to die. Rackley
was suspected of
disloyalty. Rackley was first tied to a chair. Once
safely
immobilized, his friends tortured him for hours by, among other
things, pouring boiling water on him.
When they got tired of torturing Rackley, Black Panther
member,
Warren Kimbro took Rackley outside and put a bullet in his
head.
Rackley's body was later found floating in a river about 25 miles north
of New Haven, Connecticut .
Perhaps at this point you're curious as to what happened
to these Black Panthers?
In 1977, that's only eight years later, only one of
the killers was still in jail.
The shooter, Warren Kimbro, managed to get a scholarship to
Harvard
and became good friends with none other than Al Gore.
He later became
an assistant dean at an Eastern Connecticut State
College.
Isn't that something!!!
As a '60s radical you can pump a bullet into someone's
head and, a
few years later, in the same state, you can become an
assistant
college dean!
Only in America !!!
Erica Huggins was the woman who served the Panthers by
boiling the
water for Mr. Rackley's torture .. Some years later
Ms. Huggins was
elected to a California School Board.
How in the world do you think these killers got off so easily?
Maybe it was in some part due to the efforts of two people
who came to the defense of the Panthers.
These two people actually went so far as to shut down Yale
University with demonstrations in defense of the accused
Black
Panthers during their trial.
One of these people was none other than Bill Lan
Lee. Mr. Lee, or
Mr. Lan Lee, as the case may be, isn't a college dean. He
isn't a
member of a California School Board. He is now head of the
United
States Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, appointed by
none
other than Bill Clinton.
O.K., so who was the other Panther defender? Is
this other notable
Panther defender now a school board member? Is this other
Panther
apologist now an assistant college dean?
No, neither!
The other Panther defender was, like Lee, a radical law
student at
Yale University at the time. She is now known as The "smartest
woman
in the world." She is none other than the former Secretary
of State
and former Democratic senator from the State of New York ---- the
former First Lady, the incredible Hillary Rodham Clinton .
And now, as Paul Harvey said; "You know the rest of the
story".
Pass this on!
This deserves the widest possible press.
Also remember it when she runs for President!

Harvey
Conveniently Forgotten Facts.
Back in 1969 a group of Black Panthers decided that
a fellow black
panther named Alex Rackley needed to die. Rackley
was suspected of
disloyalty. Rackley was first tied to a chair. Once
safely
immobilized, his friends tortured him for hours by, among other
things, pouring boiling water on him.
When they got tired of torturing Rackley, Black Panther
member,
Warren Kimbro took Rackley outside and put a bullet in his
head.
Rackley's body was later found floating in a river about 25 miles north
of New Haven, Connecticut .
Perhaps at this point you're curious as to what happened
to these Black Panthers?
In 1977, that's only eight years later, only one of
the killers was still in jail.
The shooter, Warren Kimbro, managed to get a scholarship to
Harvard
and became good friends with none other than Al Gore.
He later became
an assistant dean at an Eastern Connecticut State
College.
Isn't that something!!!
As a '60s radical you can pump a bullet into someone's
head and, a
few years later, in the same state, you can become an
assistant
college dean!
Only in America !!!
Erica Huggins was the woman who served the Panthers by
boiling the
water for Mr. Rackley's torture .. Some years later
Ms. Huggins was
elected to a California School Board.
How in the world do you think these killers got off so easily?
Maybe it was in some part due to the efforts of two people
who came to the defense of the Panthers.
These two people actually went so far as to shut down Yale
University with demonstrations in defense of the accused
Black
Panthers during their trial.
One of these people was none other than Bill Lan
Lee. Mr. Lee, or
Mr. Lan Lee, as the case may be, isn't a college dean. He
isn't a
member of a California School Board. He is now head of the
United
States Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, appointed by
none
other than Bill Clinton.
O.K., so who was the other Panther defender? Is
this other notable
Panther defender now a school board member? Is this other
Panther
apologist now an assistant college dean?
No, neither!
The other Panther defender was, like Lee, a radical law
student at
Yale University at the time. She is now known as The "smartest

A Hero
A
quote from a man I TRY to emulate. Samuel Adams. He was a poor man, and
terrible with his own finances, but he was one of the most respected
men amongst his peers. So much that the residents of his colony pooled
their money to buy him a suit (his first ever) after he was elected to
Congress. He went there and was one of the best stewards of OTHER
people's money ever. If only we had him now! And NO he did not brew
beer!
In a state of tranquillity, wealth, and luxury, our descendants would
forget the arts of war and the noble activity and zeal which made their
ancestors invincible. Every art of corruption would be employed to
loosen the bond of union which renders our resistance formidable. When
the spirit of liberty, which now animates our hearts and gives success
to our arms, is extinct, our numbers will accelerate our ruin and render
us easier victims to tyranny. If ye love wealth better than liberty,
the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom—go
from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick
the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may
posterity forget that ye were our countrymen! - Samuel Adams

These three statements tell you a lot about our government and our
culture:
1. We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few
lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a
few lunatics. Funny how that works.
And another statement for consideration--
2. We constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of
money. How come we never hear about welfare running out of money?
What's interesting is the first group "worked for" their money, but the
second didn't.

AMERICAN DIGEST Essays, News, Notes, and Quotes: Conservatives expend tremendous effort changing elected officials every other November — and then are surprised that it doesn't make much difference.
Culture trumps politics — which is why, once the question's been settled culturally, conservatives are reduced to playing catch-up, twisting themselves into pretzels to explain (including in the pages of this magazine) why gay marriage is really conservative after all, or why 30 million unskilled immigrants with a majority of births out of wedlock are "natural allies" of the Republican party. - - Mark SteynOnline

He hath awakened from the dream of life -
'Tis we, who lost in stormy visions, keep
With phantoms an unprofitable strife,
And in mad trance, strike with our spirit's knife
Invulnerable nothings. -We decay
Like corpses in a charnel; fear and grief
Convulse us and consume us day by day,
And cold hopes swarm like worms within our living clay.

The Top 40: Comment on Hillary-- Because Vagina! "What Difference At This Point Does It Make? "
The Top 40: Comment on Hillary-- Because Vagina! "What Difference At This Point Does It Make? ": But Hillary has, in fact, told us over and over again that she has severe memory problems. The records show that she has repeatedly said, "I don't remember, I can't remember, I have no recollection of that event, I don't know, and I have no idea." She even made thousands of dollars in the cattle futures market but doesn't remember how she did it. (Myself, I would have taken notes.) Would she be able to remember her Secret Service Code name? Nuclear codes? Bill's email account password?

AMERICAN DIGEST Essays, News, Notes, and Quotes: By 1794, as he contemplated retirement, Washington began organizing his affairs so that in his will he could free all the slaves whom he owned outright.
.... At the time of Washington's death in 1799, 317 slaves lived at Mount Vernon: 123 were owned by Washington himself, 154 were held by his wife as "dower slaves", and 40 others were rented from a neighbor. Washington's will provided for all of his slaves to be freed upon the death of his widow, but she chose to free them about 12 months after his death. The will also provided for the training of the younger former-slaves in useful skills and for the creation of an old-age pension fund for the older ones. - - George Washington

AMERICAN DIGEST: Comment on Notes on Love and Death: I've never dared to comment on your blog before, but I've been reading you for years. Thanks for the beautiful writing and sharing of your life's journey, in part. Have you ever read The Four Loves, by C.S. Lewis? Seems you'd find some common ground there.

AMERICAN DIGEST: Comment on Notes on Love and Death: And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
And, so ...
At the end of life, three things remain: faith, hope and love. The reason love is the greatest is because it is the only thing that will extend beyond the grave. (Who needs faith after he sees God and who needs hope after he's obtained the prize?) God Himself is love and spiritual love is eternal.
If all our love is given to things carnal, we will certainly fear death and the end of all we love. God intends that we develop a love for things eternal in this life. If we accomplish that we have much to look forward at the end.
This is what my mind understands, but my spirit struggles mightily to fulfil.

Thought Police: Firms must swear ObamaCare not a factor in firings | Fox News: Putin is a reminder not just of our dark past, where raw force, not morality, adjudicated behavior, but, more worrisome, perhaps of a dark future as well… He ends up existing to warn us in the West of what we are not, and to demonstrate that in a strange sort of way our loud principles without toughness are not much better than his toughness without principles. In that regard, he gives us a valuable look into ourselves – we the hollow men, the stuffed men of dry voices and whispers.”
