Drug dealers work for the NFL and pay no taxes

I have no clue on this headline. Who made that up?

Link

A group of retired NFL players says in a lawsuit filed Tuesday that the league, thirsty for profits, illegally supplied them with risky narcotics and other painkillers that numbed their injuries for games and led to medical complications ...

Not a big story in some ways. Employees are often subjected to unsafe working conditions. But, if you're one of the players living through Hell, it ain't funny.

Bush knew about Benghazi. Warned Obama. Cheney flew to Benghazi to lead rescue mission.

I love writing nonsense. Especially eye catching headlines. Since Benghazi remains the only important issue to our beloved Republican leaders, I thought I'd help them out with another Benghazi head line.

Yes, Bush knew about Benghazi. In a prepared statement, George admitted using Benghazi on his knees. "It burns at first, which means it's good. Then, the pain goes away."

Cheney did fly to Benghazi to lead a rescue mission. His trip was the first out of body experience for the ex-Vice President. I admire him for taking the trip at all. I just wish he had done it on the night of the attacks instead of Saturday night before appearing on the Sunday morning talk shows.

Timing, Dick. It's all in the timing.

In real news, Bush and Cheney were warned several times about terrorist threats to the United States in the run up to 9/11.

See link here. It's not from the Huffington blog. It's from a business source. Ouch!

Election results

Nope. I didn't vote. Could have. Didn't need to.

Craig Lutz and Ashley Bell will just have to take personal responsibility for failing. Again.

Can't blame me. Can't sue me. Can't slander me. Can't touch this!

Bell gets 15 percent of the vote on Primary Day. Doesn't win. Doesn't run second. Doesn't run third. Isn't in the money.

Maybe now he'll stop asking me for money to get him over the top. Whatever it means to 'get over the top.' Bell should have learned by now that he's not Herman Cain. As if anyone wants to be Herman Cain. Herman Cain is a loser. Bell does have that to share.

Is Bell done in politics? Best guess is No. His ego won't accept being just like the rest of us. Ego can be good. If you have a few other things to go with it like humility for a start. Wait. Doesn't humility negate ego?

Lutz ... sociopathic narcissistic personality with a Jesus complex. Perfect Republican. Should have won running against s candidate named, Buddy. If nothing else, Lutz was first on the ballot.

Here's what I've said to both these ... dudes. Clerks balance checkbooks. Leaders make things work.

So how long before the rest of Hall County GOP elitists have their personal face plant day?

Don't know. It's coming, tho.

Duck Dynasty Family. Secret Middle Eastern Terrorist Group?

CEO's aren't the owners of the company. Stockholders are the owners.

No big news to me. When the owners of a company can't set compensation plans, the CEO takes a 'lion's share' of the wealth.

In their filings with federal regulators, these companies also disclose details behind those pay plans – how much stock, stock options, “performance” shares and other esoteric holdings they’ve awarded to their top executives.

Let's see if there is a real world analogy to explain this. Nope. None. Only in the business world does the CEO get rich faster than the owners of a company.

Wait! Al Capone! Nope. Sorry. I thought I had a real world example of a CEO getting paid more than the owners of a free enterprise. Capone owned the mob. Or did he?
