Yul Brynner, of the nude head clan of actors, renounced his US Citizenship after a tax dispute with the IRS! ... 50 years ago.
So why is the Russian born actor newsworthy today?
Why his case highlights the huge number of people giving up their US citizenship.
Isn't it batshit crazy to report an event that happened 50 years ago as a reason for leaving the US today?
Not to Bloomberg's.
Does it matter that Brynner had lost his tax exemption as an American resident abroad? Ops! I guess not to Bloomberg. Brynner claimed to be an American living abroad for tax purposes while ... working in America.
I guess he jumped over the border with Siam every night before going to bed.
So how many people give up their US Citizenship per year? About 3,000. Most of them living overseas. Many of them born overseas.
None of them named Rush Limbaugh seeking political or other asylum in a non-treaty country without public healthcare, socialism, or Muslim President born in Kenya.

Guns everywhere stance already kills innocent bystander
Self defense is a bitch if you've been drinking. It must happen like this:
Someone bumps your elbow just as you're lifting your beer bottle. Instead of hitting your mouth with gently rounded lips of a high quality beer bottle, your stick your nose in beer. Snorting warm beer and rich beer foam, you turn quickly to identify the careless lout who spilled three cents worth of your $3.75 beer.
Following standard Cowboy bar protocol, you snarl, "Watch it, buddy!"
Robert DeNiro spins around with a cocky look and says, "You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Then who the hell else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well I'm the only one here. Who the fuck do you think you're talking to?"
Then, things move outside for more theatre and weak insults. Insults outside bars used to be so robust and nearly lethal in the days before the Guns Everywhere Law. Since then, no one really cares to whip out a cutting 'Yo Moma' quip. Now it's whip out the semi-auto 9 mm with 17 shot capacity, a bayonet mounted on the accessory rail.
Yes. A bayonet not a laser sight. Only a wuss uses a laser sight in a bar shooting.
Triggers are gently massaged. Steely eyed combatants close one steely eye to save their night vision and exchange salvoes.
Now here's the next set of rules, if you're wounded but standing, you stagger around in front of the onlookers saying, 'He shot me. Look. I'm shot. Why did he have to do that?'
If you're on the ground, wounded or not, shout, 'Help me up. I'm going to kill that guy who killed me before I die. I swear.'
If you're unwounded and still standing after your 17 shots, Run! Run like hell you coward because you've probably shot 17 innocent people killing at least one.

GOP Senate Candidates showering with Obama
While the Star and Inquirer broke the real story behind Obama and his long term affairs with Catherine Kennedy, Kellie Ripa, and Ruth Lyons granddaughter, Republicans voters have the real story behind the Soap on a Rope Scandal.
Depending on which campaign mailing list serves your email address. Jack Kingston ... or David Perdue ... have been showering with President Obama. According to Talking Heads R U, one or both candidates have a shower pass at the White House on a once per week basis.
Jack Kingston first showered with Obama in 1992 promising he would stop washing after three terms in office.
David Perdue was caught without his Soap on a Rope only once since turning 18. That was the election of who knows when. Maybe a primary when Perdue turned out to vote. Well, vote Republican. Perdue denies scrubbing behind his ears saying, "I'm a businessman not a professional politician."
We will give Perdue squeaky clean marks for his professional business like dealings with the Power Shower and Soap on the Rope Gang. After all, somebody ia always getting dirty in business and politics.
Karen Handel reversed her earlier stance on hot water, soap, and standing up. She's now a proper stand up Southern Republican lady who drinks Southern Sweet Ice Tea and never sweats. Soap never touches her skin especially on her face. Besides, Handel knows more about everything because she never attended a Beauty College.
Paul Broun made no comments during the Soap on a Rope scandal until an official press release this evening. Doctor Paul Broun has never used Soap on a Rope. He has not used it here. He has not used it there. Doctor Broun has always washed his hands like doctor about to perform a later term abortion.
Phil Gingrey has changed his official bio page to include details of his weekly showering rituals. He sings Italian Opera with a lisp every Friday night in cold water from his neighbors garden hose. This weak attempt to gain his own scandal backfired when his neighbor denied owning a hose that long. The neighbors wife signed a statement swearing, "I've never seen anything that long in our neighbor. Ever." Phil's exciting campaign may be nearing an end as rumors swirl around a bath tub ring.
Art Gardner and Derrick Grayson, political outsiders, did not understand the importance of good political hygiene. Press releases from their campaigns failed to deny or affirm a preference for standing or sitting when soaped.

Letter in the Gainesville Times
A good read
The recent letters from Michael Parker, Claudia Simpson, Tom Crawford and others have aptly documented the absurdity and danger inherent in the newly gutted gun control law.
One area where more guns enable acts by young terrorists that has received scant attention is the source of guns used by students to annihilate their classmates, teachers and others. Most undoubtedly use their parents’ unsecured arms and some apparently steal their weapons. Never mind the sources; the more guns out there, the easier it is for youths to obtain them.
The NRA is no doubt loudly applauding passage of this bill and almost assuredly influenced its passage and has rewarded the efforts of our leaders. As Mr. Crawford pointed out, the legislature and Gov. Nathan Deal, in all their idiocy, made absolutely certain that they were exempt from these absurd relaxations of our gun control laws with all the expensive metal detectors, patrolling by state troopers and police, etc., in the Capitol.
While they are safe inside their secured dome retreat they, hopefully, go to bars, attend churches, go to schools and gun shows where they will be exposed to the results of their indiscretions just as the rest of us Georgians. Since we neglected to voice our opposition vociferously enough to prevent its approval we need to do so in order to get the law repealed.

Giving new meaning to DUI. Drunk open carries rifle with no sling.
People just should not get alarmed to see guns being carried down the street. Inside a coin laundry. In the parking lot of an auto parts store.
Guns don't kill, riiiiight? And everyone has a right to carry a rifle on the mean streets.
And, aren't there laws which forbid a police officer from questioning people? Especially those who have committed no crime.
So are we going to stop and chat up every dude with a gun?
Yeah. It went down like that. Read here.

Hey, how are you doing today? Can we talk?
Oh Frack No. You have no right to speak to me. You sorry son of a biscuit eater. You never noticed me without a gun, fracker.
Well, sir. I just wanted to ask if you're all right.
All right! Of course I'm right you lingering dog fart.
Would you mind taking a little test for me?
Do I look like some kid in diapers you blue brained drill butt?
Yeah. It went down like that. Read here.
