This is offered to assist with your social graces. Some of you may have experienced one or more of these problems. Watch for the warning signs if you can.
If the government really wants to help they should put useful warning labels on products. For instance alcohol should come with labels warning consumers of these unintended side effects:
1. The consumption of alcohol may leave you wondering what the hell happened to your bra.
2. The consumption of alcohol may make you think you are whispering when you are not.
3. The consumption of alcohol is a major factor in dancing like a retard.
4. The consumption of alcohol may cause you to tell your friends over and over again that you love them.
5. The consumption of alcohol may cause you to think you can sing.
6. The consumption of alcohol may lead you to believe that ex-lovers are really dying for you to telephone them at four in the morning.
7. The consumption of alcohol may make you think you can logically converse with other members of the opposite sex without spitting.
8. The consumption of alcohol may make you think you have mystical Kung Fu powers, resulting in you getting your ass kicked.
9. The consumption of alcohol may cause you to roll over in the morning and see something really scary.
10. The consumption of alcohol is the leading cause of inexplicable rug burns on the forehead.
11. The consumption of alcohol may create the illusion that you are tougher, smarter, faster and better looking than most people.
12. The consumption of alcohol may lead you to believe you are invisible.
13. The consumption of alcohol may lead you to think people are laughing WITH you.
14. The consumption of alcohol may cause a disturbance in the time-space continuum, whereby gaps of time may seem to literally disappear.

Three days into the new year and the Jackass stupidity commences.
The ‘Green New Deal’: A Radical Mandate for Government Control of American Society
Incoming New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez brings with her a massive online following, influence she says she’ll deploy only in support of candidates who support her plan for a “Green New Deal.”
“The Green New Deal” is something Ocasio-Cortez invokes frequently in media appearances and rallies.
So what’s actually in it?
Her office recently released the text of a proposed House rules change outlining the plan.
The proposed rule change for the upcoming 116th Congress would require the creation of a “Select Committee for a Green Deal” that would be responsible for creating the plan by January 1, 2020, with corresponding draft legislation soon after. The text of the rule change lays out the committee’s jurisdiction and required areas of action. [snip]
Early on, under “Jurisdiction,” the document makes clear its grandiose philosophical vision: “The select committee shall have authority to develop a detailed national, industrial, economic mobilization plan for the transition of the United States economy to become greenhouse gas emissions neutral and to significantly draw down greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and oceans and to promote economic and environmental justice and equality.”
In addition to achieving its goal of “meeting 100% of national power demand through renewable sources,” the document also repeatedly states the Green New Deal will advance non-environmental projects, such as, “social, economic, racial, regional and gender-based justice.” [snip]
Vermont has a higher proportion of people moving there from out-of-state than anywhere else in the U.S., study says
United Van Lines, a St. Louis-based moving company on Wednesday released its 42nd annual National Movers Study, which tracks customers’ state-to-state migration patterns.
Vermont has the second-smallest population among states, exceeding only Wyoming, yet it saw the highest percentage of inbound moves in 2018 – at 72.6 percent. However, it’s worth noting that was out of 234 total moves.
A majority of people moving to Vermont cited jobs (34.4 percent) and retirement (31.2 percent), while 85 percent of the people leaving the state said they did so for a job. [snip]
Oscars: It’s January, So Why Is There Still No Host?
The Academy thought it solved this problem back on Dec. 4, when it announced that Kevin Hart would do the honors. But Hart withdrew just two days later amid an outcry over homophobic tweets that he had posted years earlier and his initial reluctance to apologize for them. Since then, Donna Gigliotti, who is producing the telecast for the first time, has been hunkered down in closely-guarded conversations with Academy CEO Dawn Hudson and president John Bailey.
Sources within the Academy’s 300-person staff and 54-person board of governors have told The Hollywood Reporter that they have no idea how things are progressing, but they are growing concerned as Hollywood’s biggest night rapidly approaches. Indeed, not since Jon Stewart was announced as the host of the 78th Oscars on Jan. 5, 2006, and only once before that in the 21st century, when Whoopi Goldberg was announced as the host of the 74th on Jan. 7, 2002, has the search for a host extended into the calendar year of the show itself.
