Today’s consumer tip is this little graphic we found on the World Wide Web regarding the removal of permanent marker stains.
We confess we have not tested it.
Liberals Destroy Homeless Town
More hypocrisy from Silicon Valley
Uber-hip and rich San Jose, Ca., just ripped down the nation’s largest homeless community –a 68-acre shantytown called “The Jungle.”
It was built along a stream called Coyote Creek and featured lean-tos, underground bunkers and a tree house.
The city was pushed to act by the rotting trash that piled up not to mention the rats and human waste.
And the action appears appropriate and necessary.
But why did they allow it to build up in the first place? And could you image the scorn the residents of San Jose would heap on a Texas or Pennsylvania community compelled to act in the same way?
Apartments now average $2,633 per month in the San Jose region up from $1,761 two years earlier. The median home price is nearly $700,000
The area has about 7,600 homeless with about 75 percent sleeping outside on sidewalks, in parks and under freeway embankments even before their shantytown was destroyed. It’s a greater percentage than any other U.S. metropolitan area.
In a fit of liberal guilt, San Jose spent $4 million to get housing for 144 of them. Nice job. Now just 7,456 to go.

Google Democrat Tool
The Democrats have named uber-billionaire plutocrat Eric Scmidt to its election post-mortem group, Bloomberg.com has revealed.
It’s just something for those of you not inclined to automatically push the D button to think about the next time you use a Google product.
Do you really want the enemy to track your every move?
During the midterm election cycle, Schmidt donated $60,000 to Democratic congressional candidates and chipped in $250,000 to Senate Majority PAC.
We guess the joke is on the OWS types who voted for Obama et al to stick it Wall Street and the “crony capitalists”.
We suggest that for searches one use DuckDuckGo. Their politics may not be the same as ours but truthfully we don’t know as they don’t make an issue of it. Regardless, they don’t track you.
Further, they are based in the neighborhood, Paoli, so that’s a bonus.
For web browsing, avoid Chrome. We use Firefox. If you can’t overlook their recent political cravenness, try Opera or stick to Safari if you have a Mac.
But don’t give aid and comfort to something that is obviously the opponent of freedom and a friend to feudalists

EPA Pays Salaries To Non-Workers
The Daily Signal reports that from fiscal years 2011 to 2013 the Environmental Protection Agency paid $17,550, 100 in paid administrative leave salaries for 69 employees.
Beside the full salaries, these workers also got health benefits, and the leave counted towards their pensions.
Oh, and they also continued to climb the federal pay scale.
They also got vacations and sick days which leads us to the Zen question “Can you get vacation when you are on vacation?”
One of the workers was on paid leave for over four years, The Daily Signal said. He or she should certainly send a thank you note to President Obama.
Pretty sweet.
Paid administrative leave is supposed to be a punishment.
Who says the federal government can’t be cut?

Christmas Towns In Pa Top List
Bethlehem, Pa. at Christmas Time.
Impulcity.com has named the top 17 Christmas towns and Bethlehem, Pa is number 1.
“Bethlehem has gained its name of “Christmas City U.S.A.” because it’s completely dedicated to keeping big business out of the holiday season, and sticking to original Christmas traditions,” Impulcity says. “It seems like there’s something going on every day of December to get people into the holiday spirit.”
Impulcity specifically cites Christkindlmarkt and the “epic” gingerbread competitions.
It should also be noted that Paradise, Pa. in Lancaster County ranks number 5.
“It holds the National Christmas Center of America, which even has its own store and 20,000 square feet of exhibits,” says Impulcity.

The heaviest athlete of all time was William S. Cobb, a wrestler from Macon, Ga. He weighed 802 pounds in 1962.
Canada Freer Than U.S.
Elizabeth Stelle of Comonwealth Foundation published an article on Dec. 2 in which she points out that only Texas would make the top five with regard to economic freedom if one includes the provinces of Canada.
That’s heartbreakingly embarrassing.
Pennsylvania would rank 30th on the continent.
She says that more economic freedom translates to a $7,000 boost in income per person.
She says that the study shows that the most-free states averaged $55,000 per-capita in 2012 gross domestic product compared to roughly $48,000 for the least-free states.

Rob Duncan’s Gunfight Epiphany
Here’s another TV theme song that should have been a hit. It’s by Rob Duncan and called Gunfight Epiphany and was used as the theme to Terriers, an under-rated detective show that ran for 13 episodes in the Fall of 2010 of FX.
We were able to catch it on Netflix. It is worth watching.
Here’s the song:
