John Swartzwelder at his finest !
Every time I hear someone mentioned the Japanese, I always wanna use that line, "The Japanese! Those sandal wearing goldfish tenders!"
[+]
I think they should do an entire 1920's Simpsons movie. Bring back Swartzwelder !

The only solution is all out war with china. Tell them to *** off, we're aren't paying our debts. Then we'll have to build our own mcdonald's kids meal toys, and get some free population control while we're at it.
Time to fight a land war in Asia, (Amercia) *** yeah!

The full scene is the best quote imo.
Quote:
Burns' Grandfather: Come on, men! Smash those atoms! You there, turn out your pockets.
[Two goons seize a waifish worker and turn out his pockets]
Burns' Grandfather: Aha - atoms! One, two, three, four... SIX of them! Take him away!
Waif: You can't treat the working man this way! One of these days we'll form a union, and get the fair and equitable treatment we deserve! Then we'll go too far, and become corrupt and shiftless, and the Japanese will eat us alive!
Burns' Grandfather: The Japanese? Those sandal-wearing goldfish tenders? Ha ha! Bosh! Flimshaw!
Mr. Burns: Oh, if only we'd listened to that young man, instead of walling him up in the abandoned coke oven.

One of my favorite sight gags:
Quote:
President Obama will use his clemency power to release dozens of inmates from federal custody this week, doubling the commutations he’s granted so far and reassuring advocates that he is serious about using his executive authority to free people serving long decades for nonviolent crimes.
If the president grants another 40 or so commutations as expected, he will have shortened the sentences of more prisoners than any president since Gerald Ford, who extended clemency to thousands of Vietnam draft dodgers. (Obama’s record on pardoning ex-convicts outside of prison, however, has remained stingy by historical standards.)
The commutations will be granted during a criminal-justice-heavy week for the president. On Tuesday, he addresses the NAACP’s annual conference in Philadelphia, where he will speak about the need to reform mandatory minimum sentences for nonviolent crimes, which disproportionately affect men and women of color. On Thursday, Obama will travel to El Reno prison in Oklahoma, becoming the first sitting president to tour a federal prison, according to White House spokesman Josh Earnest. The president will also give an interview to VICE magazine at the prison, on his criminal justice reform efforts.
Last year, the Obama administration made a historic call for applications from prisoners serving more than a decade in prison for nonviolent crimes that would have been prosecuted less harshly today. Obama is expected to shorten the sentences of hundreds of these prisoners before he leaves office, though the White House maintains there is no set number of commutations. The president has shown a special interest in people sent away for decades for crack cocaine violations, which were punished 100 times more harshly than powder cocaine until Congress scaled down that gap in 2010.

I'm a Democrat all I saw was "Obama" and "free" I couldn't understand the rest of it !

He created 3 or 4 new national monuments as well. Preserving a bunch of land. It's almost as if he's trying to impress me with his last year so I won't harp on the undeserved nobel peace prize & all the golfing for the rest of my life.

I just find it funny that the guy Alfred Nobel was famous for created dynamite and other deadly explosives. So why not create a "peace prize" to cover up all the death he caused !
>>> awarded nobel peace prize
>>> spend the next six years blasting the middle-east with drones
lol whaaaaaaaaat?

In his defense killing with drones okay. Killing with non drones not okay !
When you eliminate the humans doing the killing. We can justify all sorts of death !
Translated into philosophy: The end justify the means !
No one has time for moral dilemmas when johnny suicide bomber and the ISIS brigade are on the move !

What you rather the US do not produce wealth. Be like Greece ?
Hate to break it to everyone but there is always going to be some white guy that has more money than you.
Complaining about it isn't going to solve your current situation though.

Looks like global warming will be helpful after all.
'Mini ice age' coming in next fifteen years, new model of the Sun's cycle shows
Quote:
There will be a "mini ice age" in 2030, solar scientists have said.
We are now able to predict solar cycles with far greater accuracy than ever before thanks to a new model which shows irregularities in the sun’s 11-year heartbeat.
The model shows that solar activity will fall by 60 per cent between 2030 and 2040 causing a "mini ice age".
The conditions predicted have not been experienced since the last "mini ice age" which lasted from 1645 to 1715, called the Maunder Minimum.
