    toronto's rob ford

    toronto has 2,791,140 residence which is something like 84,000 more people than Chicago’s 2,707,120
    this is easy... frig toronto & frig rob ford
    i'd like robbie if he were the mayor of a small farming community or river town with 10,016 residence

    cities & people on top of one another = chadwick running away & throwing charcoal briquttes at nearly 3 million people that irritate the hell out of him

    do you know how many 53 foot semi trailer loads it takes to toss charcoal briquettes at all the 2,791,140 people of toronto?

    rob ford they say parties his ass off? smoking grass, drinking & some say even crack cocaine. we all know he enjoys food.
    i say good for him. if i were even living among half those people i'd be injecting crack or crushing the rocks & dumping the stuff in my water bottle

    some say rob has saved toronto a shit ton of money. good for him.

    http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/05/rob-ford-crack-video-toronto-mayor.html

    11. i guess he can get oxycontin
    15. goes to toss a football & falls down
    17. he likes ass
    18. storms the dance floor in a drunken mess

    excellence

    i could use a few pain meds my own damn self

    4.

    In 2005, Ford referred to fellow city council member Gloria Lindsay Luby as "a joke," "a waste of time," and "a waste of skin."


    Haven't we all known at least a few wastes of skin?

    I think that this one really doesn't belong on Rob's list of hits.
    What if Gloria Lindsay Luby was a joke, a waste of time and a waste of skin? Perhaps he was only confirming what Gloria Lindsay Luby's own 3rd grade teacher wrote in her 'comments' section of her report card one time?

    (Of course, this could be a wonderful woman who Mayor Chris Farley is talking shit on for no reason.)

    booting all the snakes off the island... you bastard!

    http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/03/090316-st-patricks-day-facts.html

    No Snakes in Ireland

    "The St. Patrick mythology includes the claim that he banished snakes from Ireland.

    It's true no snakes exist on the island today, Freeman said. But they never did.

    Ireland, after all, is surrounded by icy ocean waters—much too cold to allow snakes to migrate from Britain or anywhere else.

    But since snakes often represent evil in literature, "when Patrick drives the snakes out of Ireland, it is symbolically saying he drove the old, evil, pagan ways out of Ireland [and] brought in a new age," Freeman said.

    The snakes myth and others—such as Patrick using three-leafed shamrocks to explain the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost)—were likely spread by well-meaning monks centuries after St. Patrick's death, Freeman said."

    well kiss my grits. i guess he is a bullshit-artist.

    if he had actually lead all snakes to the sea & cast them out into the big drink, boy oh boy, i would have set his house on fire.
    i love snakes & i dislike fuckers messin with my cold blooded pals. since day one on this planet - in this life here, snakes, lizards & amphibians have befriended me. treefrogs actually climb my house to come say, "hello-good evening, you silly shitheaded curly haired guy" "i think i'm gonna dump on your windows"

    snakes & lazards... same stuff. they crawl for miles just to curse me out, eat my bagels & cream cheese, asian cuisine & use the bird bath in my bedroom as a toilet where a japanese giant salamander swims with newts & other slippery guys

    i love these guys a lot

    Chad: what do you think about Americans giving up their citizenship?

    http://www.npr.org/blogs/parallels/2014/02/20/275937138/why-more-americans-are-renouncing-u-s-citizenship



    Why More Americans Are Renouncing U.S. Citizenship

    The number of U.S. citizens renouncing their American citizenship spiked to 3,000 last year, up from about 500 in earlier years. While reasons vary from person to person, a U.S. tax law passed in 2010 has complicated life for many Americans living abroad.
    The number of U.S. citizens renouncing their American citizenship spiked to 3,000 last year, up from about 500 in earlier years. While reasons vary from person to person, a U.S. tax law passed in 2010 has complicated life for many Americans living abroad.

    David Sucsy/iStockphoto
    A few times a year, the Treasury Department publishes a long list of names announcing all of the Americans who have lately abandoned their U.S. citizenship.

    According to the legal website International Tax Blog, the number hovered around 500 a decade ago. Last year, it hit a record high of nearly 3,000.

    This was not a gradual change. It was a sudden spike. It's a story of dominoes falling, one after another, leading to an unexpected outcome.

    The first domino fell in 2008, when federal prosecutors accused the Swiss bank UBS of helping wealthy Americans hide their money tax-free in overseas accounts. It was a big case, leading to indictments, fines and prison time.

    The U.S. Congress wanted to make sure it didn't happen again. During the economic recession, lawmakers saw a chance to bring in massive sums of money and stop tax cheats at the same time.

    "They just found UBS in a terrible scheme to encourage tax evasion," Barney Frank, the Democratic congressman from Massachusetts, told NPR in 2009. "I think there are clearly tens of billions that can be recovered there."

    The next year, in 2010, Congress passed the Foreign Accounts Tax Compliance Act. The law affects every foreign bank that does business with the U.S. And not just banks: It also applies to retirement accounts, mutual funds, and more.

    Renouncing citizenship is not as easy as throwing a passport onto the fire. It's a lengthy process, involving interviews, paperwork and legal procedures. So people who do it generally have a compelling motivation. And while individual reasons for renouncing may vary from person to person, experts in the field say the recent dramatic spike has more to do with the 2010 tax law than any other factor.

    Wisconsin financial adviser David Kuenzi works with Americans overseas who are affected by the law.

    "[Congress] said to all of these institutions, 'You need to follow this set of criteria to determine all of the Americans who are your clients," says Kuenzi, "and you need to report directly to us on their holdings.' "

    Shut Out Of Foreign Banks

    Foreign banks looked at the new law and decided that the regulations would be a huge hassle. Many of them decided to wash their hands of American account-holders.

    "They canceled the accounts of just about every American in Europe," says retiree John Mainwaring, "including me."

    Seventy-year-old Mainwaring grew up in Ohio, served in the U.S. Army, and has lived in Munich, Germany, for about 40 years.

    After his old German banks kicked him out, he tried to find new ones that would take him in.

    "I went everywhere," he says, "to every bank in Germany. The problem is, the ones here don't deal with Americans."

    Congress wanted to catch tax cheats. But the net also snagged Americans whose foreign bank accounts let them pay their bills in the countries they now call home.

    U.S. Taxes Americans, No Matter Where They Live

    The United States is very unusual in this respect. Most countries in the world don't tax their citizens living abroad. So, for example, a Spaniard living in Canada won't pay Spanish taxes. Instead, he'll pay Canadian taxes. But the U.S. taxes American citizens wherever they are in the world.

    "If I can compare it to romance, I say the U.S. is like Fatal Attraction," says Suzanne Reisman, a lawyer in London who advises Americans abroad. "Once they've got you, they never let you go. You have to renounce your citizenship, or you have to die."

    So today, Americans who don't like the Fatal Attraction relationship are giving up their U.S. citizenship in record numbers.

    In Switzerland, so many people want to renounce their citizenship that the U.S. Embassy actually has a waiting list.

    "I want to be clear: It's not about a dollar value of taxes that I don't want to pay," says Brian Dublin, a businessman who lives near Zurich. "It's about the headache associated with the regulations, filing in the U.S., and then having financial institutions in the rest of the world turn me away."

    Dublin says he is ready to renounce, despite the ties he feels to the country of his birth. "I grew up in America. I love my country. But I just feel that the current regulations are onerous."

    Officials from the Treasury Department, the State Department, the IRS and Congress spoke on background for this story. None would talk on tape.

    They all generally agree on the facts of the situation. Even so, there is very little pressure to change it. As one Senate staffer pointed out, nobody in Congress represents overseas Americans. And government officials think this law is succeeding at catching the tax cheats. That may be worth the side effect of losing a few thousand American citizens every year.

    that is some question

    i learned something here. a spaniard living in canada pays canadian taxes not spanish taxes. but the united states taxes it's citizens no matter where they may live on this planet. that is some real rich bullshit right there.

    are they saying a guy born & raised in missouri, now living & working in ethiopia will be taxed by the u.s.? what kind of taxes? school tax, road tax, state & federal taxes? this is the craziest shit i've ever heard of.

    however, i am thinking that the united states special forces would come rescue a guy or gal from being held hostage, therefore, the u.s. needs tax dollars from every single swingin john ever born here to pay the navy seals ships, helicopters & time on the clock bill?

    Chad,

    Thanks for posting that picture of St. Patrick...very green.

    I was wondering what you thought of people who bring and run their lawnmowers in public and impractical places, like malls and bank elevators.

    Is this normal behavior or is it rude?

    Thank you.

    Tonight I will likely drink some Jean Marc XO, a relatively recent find -- I love this shit.

    image

    2-3 Vodka Rock drinks (use the giant ice cube so it doesn't water down the really pricey stuff) with this and then I am ready to settle in and shovel ice cubes into the glass and keep re-filling with Ketel One (which isn't too shabby!) until I am good and destroyed.
    Mix in some of the old green and it makes for a very relaxing evening.

    Have you ever read the description that companies come up for to try and make their booze sound better?

    Here is what Jean Marc XO is described as:
    "Brilliantly clear. Complex, vibrant, yet subtle aromas of powdered sugar, star anise, dried white flowers, cream, and wheat dough are sweet and inviting. A super smooth, plush entry leads to an oily medium-to-full body of delicate anise cookie, confectioner's sugar, frosting, and marzipan flavors. Finishes with a long, graceful wet limestone, pastry dough, anise seed, almond oil, and pink peppercorn fade. A startlingly flavorful and elegant vodka that clearly pushes the limits of the unflavored vodka category. Truly world class, expertly made and unique vodka."

    If you have read this stuff, what do you think of descriptions such as those?

    What would your description for Water from a cold creek in Idaho look like? Or another favorite beverage?
