BOGO Free!

Used to think "BOGO" was a dangerous chemical.
 
Sign at CVS said "Tide Detergent, BOGO Free!"

Thought to myself "Damn, hope we're not using detergent with that BOGO in it!"

Quote of the Day

 
Read, every day, something no one else is reading.
Think, every day, something no one else is thinking.
Do, every day, something no one else would be
silly enough to do.  It is bad for the mind to
continually be part of unanimity.

Quote of the Day

 
If you make it in the NBA, for your entire life up to that point,
you were probably the best player on every team you were on.
 
When you get to the NBA, one of the things they tell you coming
in is that 80% of the league is role players.  Essentially they
tell you, you're no longer going to be the star of your team.
 
Most of us are not going to be the star ever again.  That's
a hard pill to swallow.  Honestly, the reason a lot of guys
don't make it in the NBA is they can't swallow that pill, 
they can't accept it, they can't take a back seat,
they're unwilling to take on a "lesser" role.

Of the billionaires I have known, money just brings
out the basic traits in them.  If they were jerks
before they had money, they are simply
jerks with a billion dollars.

Quote of the Day

 
Since wealth is the only thing that can cure poverty, you
might think that the left would be as obsessed with the
creation of wealth as they are with the redistribution
of wealth.  But you would be wrong.

Nothing is easier than to prove that something human
has imperfections.  I'm amazed at how many
people devote themselves to that task.

It is usually futile to try to talk facts and analysis
to people who are enjoying a sense of moral
superiority in their ignorance.
