Cute. I wonder what the return on investment consists of.
That is so odd, he’s never made a bad investment or business decision…
HEY HANK, OVER HERE!!!
I have said it before. It does not matter who he supports. It serves to solidify his bona fides as a guy who can put ten million bucks in somebody’s pocket. On this basis, he will get a listen and facetime with lots of people without anything as crass or even indictable as a quid-pro-quo. If you sit on a park bench and give one bread crumb to one pigeon, you will attract a crowd of pigeons without having to feed them all.
What? I thought there was like a $2000 limit on contributions???
@Just ‘nutha ig’rant cracker: “Cute. I wonder what the return on investment consists of.”
Think of it as maintaining a reputation for ‘you
give me $100 million in lootscratch my back and I’llbribe you handsomelyscratch your back’.Hey, even a billionaire wants to buy a lottery ticket now and then. The odds on Jeb! paying off are almost as good as the billion dollar powerball…
I think that everything posted was actually very reasonable.
However, consider this, suppose you were to write a awesome headline?
I ain’t suggesting your content isn’t solid, but what if you added a title to maybe get folk’s attention? I mean Empirical Evidence that Some People have too Much Money?
is a little plain. You ought to look at Yahoo’s home page and see how they write
post titles to grab viewers to open the links. You might add a video or a picture or two to grab
readers interested about what you’ve got to say.
Just my opinion, it could bring your posts a little
livelier.
