The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck

Here's a fairly amusing new ad for Big Lots, entitled, "#StandUpMom - Stocktober": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4VzpQyOJRQ If you like the ad and feel a friend or family member would like it and perhaps be interested in shopping at a Big Lots, please spread the word. My new customized Big Lots slogan: "Big Lots - Hey, at least we're not Wal-Mart."

So, I read a letter-to-the-editor in The Columbus-Dispatch  yesterday and found it to be quite amusing. The author of the "piece" (yes, I mean that term in an ambiguous manner) laid claim that the "liberal-news media" was lying about Paul Ryan wanting to do away with Medicare and that senior citizens had nothing to worry about. He didn't provide any facts, any sources; he really didn't provide much of anything. All he spouted were talking points. It was as if I were walking through a rush-hour traffic jam, packed full of cars sporting their favorite Republican slogans and talking points. Where did I go? To the fact-checking site, Politifact.com and copy and pasted three URLs: "Paul Ryan's Medicare plan 'could raise future retirees' costs more than $6,000."
