The Postules In David’s Ears Are Leaking Ideas

May 22, 2012 - Top Stories

Nationwide On Pacifica Radio

The NATO summit in Chicago ended peacefully…

except for a handful of Criminal lowlifes who feed off pandemonium and division. But enough about Angela Merkle and David Cameron.

A glass vial that contains Ronald Reagan’s blood is being auctioned off to the highest bidder. Just like Reagan’s presidency.

The blood dates all the way back to 1954 when MCA opened the books, Lew Wasserman pricked Reagan’s trigger finger and declared him a “made man.”

Last year Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg joined Bill Gates, and Warren Buffett in a  “Giving Pledge“, promising to shave off half their wealth before they’re dead. On Saturday, Zuckerberg kept that promise by marrying Priscilla Chan.

Priscilla is a Baby Doctor. Which is odd considering pediatricians aren’t allowed to marry their patients.

Actually the couple met at Harvard while Zuckerberg was a student. Of other people’s ideas.

Meanwhile Facebook stock is said to be a complete flop. Which I’m pretty sure is how Mrs. Zuckerberg describes her wedding night.

Gee. Zuckerberg’s personal finances and love life are suddenly an open book. Well that’s to be expected Mark when you finally get around to opening an account on Facebook.

Although Zuckerberg owns twenty four percent of the Facebook stock he controls 57 percent of the voting power. That means the vast majority of people who put money into Facebook have absolutely no say. Or as they call that in Washington”, Democracy.”

Meanwhile to avoid paying taxes on his multi billion-dollar profits, Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin has given up his American citizenship and moved to Asia. I guess if corporations are people, Eduardo Saverin would be Apple Computers.

By the way, last year, 1,780 multi millionaires and or billionaires renounced their citizenship and left America to avoid paying taxes.  Maybe we should build that wall. To keep them in. Prison.

Two and half million Americans behind bars and somehow there’s no room at the inn for any of these tax cheats.   Hard to break the law when you’re the ones writing it.
