Train Dreams is a lovely film that deserves to be watched on the biggest screen you can find. It's just breathtaking.

This continues to surprise everyone I talk to. Even if you've accumulated a nest egg, long-term care is so expensive that only the wealthiest people can afford to pay without going on Medicaid. Medicaid is largely how the middle class pays for elder care, which forces them into poverty.

Always loved the people who are like, "But my ancestors came here the legal way!" and by that they mean they arrived via ratship to an island, a man asked them their name, they were like, "Uh, Jeff... Smith?" another guy said "sure?" and then they became permanent residents of the United States.

Fifty years ago today, the Khmer Rouge entered Phnom Penh and within hours forced everyone out of the city to restructure Cambodia into an idealized agrarian society. This was "Day One" of nearly four years of forced labor, "reeducation," and mass murder.

This is not about efficiency. Giving federal employees purchase cards saves money - it reduces layers of paperwork and red tape.
Imagine running a business where you stopped employees from purchasing anything. The goal is to shut down government by other means.

The restrictions are already in place at the General Services Administration along with several other agencies. Soon they'll roll out to most of the federal government, sources say.
