Does this look like a bomb to anyone? 

Not really, but I don't really have any knowledge in the bomb department.  What is it and where was it found?

It looks like the inside of a computer but not sure. I guess it could be a bomb but I wouldn't know.

This is what the kid was arrested for when he brought it to school.  It was a clock, but the school officials thought it was a bomb.

Hey! Give 'em a break. They're Texans. Most Texans are so stupid that they couldn't pour water out of a boot even if the instructions were printed on the bottom.

Obamacare gets cheaper

Overall costs are now likely to be $14 billion per year lower than estimated just two months ago, and $56 billion per year cheaper than the first official estimate in 2010. That's a 30% reduction, compared with the 2010 numbers.

The Congressional Budget Office regularly updates its cost projections for all big federal programs, and its latest numbers show an improvement related to Obamacare, as the ACA is known, that few supporters or critics saw coming. In 2010, the year Congress passed the law, the CBO said the annual cost of administering the law and providing subsidies to enrollees to help them purchase insurance would be about $172 billion in 2019, when all the provisions of the law are fully in effect. In January of this year, CBO dropped its 2019 estimate to $135 billion per year. It has now dropped that even lower, to $121 billion per year.

^^  Those red states don't fare too well in the top 25.

Yeah! How about that? I think it shows a strong correlation with education, intelligence and political views. If you look up the list of least/most educated states, it will look remarkably like this one.

Of course it does, but good luck trying to convince our two resident conservatives of that.

Boner got all jiggy over the pope today. . .

Yet according to some stats Kentucky is 4th in the nation in education now! I don't really believe in any stats of rich, poor and education!

Ha!
