Walking around New York City, you can't help but see long lines at newstands, delis, bodegas and other places that sell lottery tickets. The folks in line aren't just buying any run-of-the-mill lottery tickets. They're playing for the Mega-Millions jackpot of a stunning $650 million dollars.
Interesting how many people aspire to be the 1%. Granted, the lottery players aspire to be the 1% without having first done the hard work and having made the sacrifices to get there. But the long lines indicate that---despite what Occupy Wall Street wants you to believe---America is still an aspirational society. We don't demonize the rich because we all aspire to BE the rich.
That's the one thing the OWS crazies missed---or thought they could bury. I wonder how many of them are holding Mega-Millions tickets tonight.
I've got my dollar and a dream, and I'm in it to win it. If you don't hear from me tomorrow, you'll know why.
With the Forex, Gold is tied to the Swiss and Oil is tied to the Cad.
Hope this helps.

DJ,
This is another graphic example of how it works. How what works? How what I call the Gooper kabuki at Monicamemo works. It's a tamping-down-the-conservatives operation.
The average GOP voter is too naive to understand how Monica's kind of goopers can make use of troll degenerates and outright pyschopaths like Jay Creep and Stinky X. This child-like type can't grasp how it's win-win for the goopers and the creeps. The goopers can let the laughingstock creeps disrupt the conservative dialogue. Gooper hands are clean. The troll degenerates do the dirty work. Stinky even gets to haluucinate that Monica is in contact with him. It's win-win for goopers and their useful creeps, or what we can call Monica's mutants. It's a way of restraining, if you will, the Tea Party rebellion, lunatics shouting them down with WHITE SUPREMACISTS etc, exactly like liberal racists. and Goopers are down with this.paving the way for their moderate, like Romney. Monica gets to keep posting as a Conservative Warrior Princess. The commenters, constantly disrupted by the psychopaths, continue to be mystified. Monica doesn't even bother to answer their emails, yet they still can't figure it out. They can't understand what's going on. They still don't get the obvious, after all this time of getting it in their face. Or they don't want to get it. They'd rather pretend that Monica Crowley is so un-professional she doesn't even know exactly what's going on at her own website. Won't answer emails? Oh, you know, she's a busy gal, right? They stay puzzled. They don't call it 'staying in denial.' How can somebody of Monica's caliber and class let her ("conservative" heh) website turn into a Freak Show, obvious psychopaths trolling it night and day with total impunity. Elsewhere such toads get Insta-flush. Here they get an invitation to run wild. Why? The few remaining commenters of conservative-orientation can't figuree it out.
Can they, DJ?

From Yahoo.com"
1. After ABC News aired surveillance video of George Zimmerman, Martin's shooter, entering a police precinct without any apparent injuries, the Daily Caller treated the tape like a Zapruder film, enhancing still images from the video and concluding that it found "what may be an injury to the back of his head." The site's photo "analysis" of the back of Zimmerman's head--replete with yellow Photoshopped arrows--"indicates what appears to be a vertical laceration or scar several inches long."
Keep in mind, this is the same Daily Caller that published 152 pages of what the conservative site claims were Martin's tweets--which, if they were, prove that Martin was a pretty typical high school male, preoccupied with girls, sex and getting out of class early.
In an flailing effort to break news in a month-old shooting, CBS News aired an interview with Richard Kurtz, the funeral director who handled Trayvon Martin's burial.
"There were no physical signs like there had been a scuffle," Kurtz declared, which the network said proves Zimmerman's claims of a violent encounter with Martin before the shooting are false. "The hands--I didn't see any knuckles, bruises or what have you, and that is something we would have covered up if it would have been there. He looked perfectly normal to me when he came in and the story just does not make sense that he was in this type of scuffle or fight in anything that we could see."
Except, he said, the gunshot wound.
Posted by: Jay | April 01, 2012 at 09:22 PM
Interesting how conservatives have wanted to make Zimmerman the victim since day one.
I would rather wait until due process of law has done it's course.
But, looking at the comments on that Yahoo.com link.

Re useful idiots in the G.O.P's silent war against conservatives.....
You don't think the GOP's Monicamemo is making use of aggressive psychopath trolls like Jay Creep and Stinky X as useful idiots, screaming 'WHITE SUPREMACIST' etc as a useful way to shut up, or at least try to demoralize (and humiliate) serious conservative dialogue?
These creepy psychopath day-and-night trolls are not useful idiots and bomb-throwers for RINO Central? Liberal racist vipers like Creep and Stink can't be useful idiots to RINOs and a GOP Princess?

Gringoman,
You may have a point WRT to Monica's "conservative" website, but thank goodness it dosen't extend beyond her domain. The surreal madness displayed by Monica's troll trash is almost entirely confined to the Memo; it is rarely seen on other conservative sites. But when it is, it is quickly identified and dealt with accordingly. In fact I've never seen a site -- right-wing or left wing -- where the host would put up with such blatant trolling ... and for so long!
So, I must conclude G-man's theory applies to Monica and Monica only. The constant disruption of conservatives' discussions by known psychopathic trolls is a phenomenon exclusive to Monicamemo.typepad.com.
Congratulations for that unflattering distinction, Dr. Crowley!

The Left: Enemies of Civilization
"The Trayvon affair has extirpated any tiny little bit of optimism I have regarding liberalism, at least the kind practiced by media and Ivory Tower believers. I'll still give some leeway to the Democrat on the street, the politically benign and personally affable middle class masses who don't really know what leftism has become. They persist under the delusion that Democrats care about the little man and that the Republican party is the exclusive province of the "unwashed" masses "bitterly clinging to their guns and religion." I'll cut them a break; they just don't know.
In this post, I speak of the priest class - those writing and commenting on Salon.com, DailyKos, and ThinkProgress, the staff of the major newspapers like NYT and LA Times, the writers and personalities on MSNBC, CNN, and NBC "News", and liberal academics pontificating from the safe enclaves of nice college towns. For these individuals, we can no longer view leftism as a means of gaining social capital or a harmless way of expressing one's relative enlightenment. For these individuals, we can no longer view leftism as an ignorant or perverted idealism whereby the intellectual class casts themselves as society's saviors. For these individuals, we can no longer afford them the benefit of doubt, that perhaps their motivations are pure.
Quite simply, the intellectual left has declared outright war on all of white America, not merely the slovenly lumpenproles and the unrefined working class, but the "white privileged" middle class and the "avaricious" upper class. They have shown their hand with this latest Trayvon affair, making a martyr out of a NO_LIMIT_NIGGA and, in doing so, impugning white America as the sole source of evil and violence.
This past year, we have seen absolutely no mainstream coverage on the spate of black-on-white crime, including murders, gang beatings, and racial flash mob riots. When pressed, the authorities have even adamantly denied any racial component to so many black-on-white racial crimes. Yet one incident in Florida, where all verifiable details point to a black thug initiating the altercation, spurs black and liberal America to engage in a month long hate campaign against whites. Contrast this to media silence and subtle downplaying of every single undoubtedly racist attack perpetrated by blacks in the past year, such as the Carter Strange attack in which Matt Lauer described the black mob as "basically good kids who did a very bad thing."
We come again to the question considered here previously - is the professional left evil? At the very least, the professional left should now be considered enemies of civilization."
