Remove the color and what's left are shades of grey



Sometimes there are no words.  Sometimes there are...


         "These assholes always get away."

                                     -- George Zimmerman, thirty seconds before a police
                                         dispatcher tells him to stop following an unarmed
                                         17-year-old black boy, five minutes before he shoots
                                         that unarmed boy to death, & five hours before being
                                         released from the police station without charges.
 
Remove the color and they're all just shades of grey.

Guy Freibahl on Truth In Advertising

Guy Freibahl asks and answers:

"Is America the greatest nation the planet has ever seen?"

Why, sure it is.  Call me partial, but where else do corporate executives have the brass marbles to so elegantly weave together marketing ingenuity with creative truth in advertising as in the good ole US of A?

With a little money, a big dream and some true patriots on your side in the FDA, USDA, and Congress, the food & drug industries can package and sell foodlike products that nobody else would even dream of marketing.  It is the epitome of thinking outside the box.

Picture it with me... true corporate trailblazers retooling a tired, old product for a vibrant, new generation:

Got Cyanide?  The other white compound.  It's what's for dinner.
Pure, All Natural Cyanide.  Earth's answer to life.
Available in original Powder or now in convenient new Tablet form!
Mother Nature's cure for gullibility, blind faith, and overpopulation.
With the enticing aroma of almonds but no pesky aftertaste.
Try Cyanide Today!  All Natural!  100% Pure.
Cyanide ... It's from the Earth.

* Full payment required in advance.  All sales final.

Only in America can corporate ingenuity transform an ancient, worn-out stereotype into a sexy new trend.  Now, if we could just get rid of those job-killing, socialist regulators and their eye-straining fine print disclaimers that nobody reads anyway we'd truly realize the promise of full liberty for corporate personhood.

AMERICAN CORPORATE CAPITALISM:  Harnessing the greed of the few for the good of the few more for over 200 years!

What a country!

Love Is...


Love's beauty is 
that it can outlive 
the death of a relationship.  
It is also love's tragedy.

Guy Freibahl on Original Intent




Where would America be today if Supreme Court Justices Scalia and Thomas applied their theory of Originalism to the 2nd Amendment?

It could've been madness in the streets.  Imagine the scene.  Minutemen and citizen militias on every corner bearing muzzle-loading black powder muskets.  Thank goodness they only defer to original intent when it suits their ideology.

Whew, America really dodged a bullet with those rulings.
