Hard Candy & Lollipops

Goodbye Reed's
There once was a company that made boiled sweets (hard candies) in Chicago. Founded in 1893, The Reed Candy Company used copper kettles to boil sugar and corn syrup and other things together to create flavorful treats. In 1931 they started making their most famous product, the Reeds' Butterscotch candy roll. Later they added more flavors including Cinnamon, Root Beer and Butter Toffee.
At some point in their history The Reed Candy Company was bought out by another Chicago area based sweets company, Amurol Confections (known for their novelty gums like Big League Chew and Bubble Tape) ... and they in turn were bought by Wrigley's (also based in Chicago). The larger distribution chain should have helped, but I still rarely saw them at drug stores or groceries. I usually saw them at newsstands. Reeds continued to be made with startling consistency from the taste and packaging I remember from my childhood.
For those who have never had them, Reed's are kind of like Lifesavers, except there's no hole in the middle, just a slight dent. They're individually wrapped, which makes for extra-sanitary sharing as well as the ability to pop out the individual candies and put them in your pocket for later (try that with a Lifesaver!). They come with eight little pieces in a roll. But what was really extraordinary about them was the incredible amount of flavor packed into such a small candy. Part of this was the exceptional texture - these were high-quality boiled sugar sweets that had very few voids or holes so they were extra smooth on the tongue and dissolved well.
The Butterscotch ones used real butter and had a nice hit of salt to them. Though I'm sure the recipes changed over the years (going with artificial flavors and whatnot) they were still much more flavorful than many other candies.
Cinnamon was not for the faint of heart. The little dented red disk had a smooth and soft mouthfeel at first and then exploded with a very strong cinnamon flavor that could rival an Atomic Fireball. It was like the flavor popped and sparkled with itty-bitty reservoirs.
Other roll candies and mints came in cinnamon and butterscotch but no one else made a Root Beer candy. Soft and spicy with a complex flavor that just made you want to roll the little candy over and over in your mouth. Reed's Root Beer were my go to roll candy - they had the satisfying freshness of a mint and the tingly "activate those salivary glands" stimulation of a fruit sour.
They were always a 10 in my book. But I guess I ignored them and now they're gone. Back in April they told their distributors that they weren't going to be making them anymore and the supply was cut off. There are still a few places you can find a reserves on the web (and happily these hard candies are pretty durable when stored correctly):
I got my last rolls at Powell's in Windsor, CA but they said that they will not ship nor sell whole boxes at any discount.
UPDATE: Reed's are coming back. Iconic Candy of New York is working on their final formulations and packaging design and hope to have Reed's back on store shelves in a limited number of flavors by the end of the year.
You can see the preview of their new candy revivals here. They're also working on Regal Crown Sours and Bar None.

Candy Source: Aji Ichiban
Aji Ichiban is a chain of stores that sells dried and cured fruits as well as candy by the pound.
I went to the location in Chinatown in New York City while I was there. The store was kind of small and the woman behind the counter barked at me when I took some photos. This one was taken from the street. I actually think they're doing their customers a disservice when they can't take photos, because that's the only reason I know what some of the candy is. It's marked in the bins, but not on the wrappers.
They have a large selection of bins that contains individually wrapped candies or salted fruits or nuts and rice snacks. There are even samples of the fruits by the bins, but I made the mistake of taking what I thought was dried ginger and it turned out to be a salted plum. Quite a shock and made me parched instantly.
It's not a huge store, but then again, they don't have large tubs of everything. A third of the display space is for snacks and dried fruit, the rest is candy. Most of the candy is a mix & match by the pound, but some of it you could buy prepacked.
I liked just about everything in this mix. I chose carefully, so this is a good sign about the way that the packages are marked. Some have English on them, most are just pictures and sometimes the bin they were in at the store had some clues about the contents. Items came from all over Asia, some marked from Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Japan.
I got some super fizzy sours, something called Zour Bomb, which was a cross between a cola flavored hard candy and a Zotz. However, partway through it got a minty flavor to it that kind of turned me off. The outside was dusty looking and super sour, then a hard candy and then the inside had another reservoir of sour. It also came in Lemon which was excellent.
Another was a little orange packet called Sour + from Lot100. It had little orange faces on it making sour impressions. It was a gummi, soft and about the size of a gumdrop with a sugar sand on it. Whoo, it was sour to start, then the soft gummi had a nice orange flavor to it. I would definitely buy these again. I wonder if they come in pineapple. That'd be cool.
Lot100 also had a nice Cola hard candy. It looked a little odd in that it was a plain red hard candy. It tasted like cola but had a slight hint of cinnamon.
Not everything from Lot100 was a hit - I had a rather promising Mango gummi that just didn't quite hit the right balance. The texture was fantastic, plump and moist with a nice tart note but the mango "flavor" was less "pine meets melon" and more "burnt rubber." Too bad.
Kasugai had a good assortment of fruit gummis, which I've reviewed before. I picked up Litchi and Muscat this time. They're called super juicy on the label and they are plenty soft, but the litchi was a little flavorless and almost like a Turkish Delight. Muscat smelled wonderful and had a bit more complex flavor, something like white grape and orange blossom.
There was also a line of Milk candies that had calcium in them that came in interesting flavors like chocolate, vanilla and also red bean. They had an odd, firm, fluffed latexy quality to them, kind of like Hi-CHEW. I have no idea how much calcium is actually in it, but they were super soft and very satisfying. The vanilla was a little bland and the chocolate was kind of like a bouncy Tootsie roll, but I really liked the red bean. I mean, I really liked it. I'm sorry they're gone now.
I picked up a few tea flavored candies, one from Thailand called Didi Honey Lemon Tea Candy was particularly nice. Only slightly tart, there was a nice play between tea and honey in there. The other brand was Cister from Malaysia wasn't as pleasant looking (brown) but had a much stronger tea flavor and some mint thrown in (which made it taste more like a Ricola drop).
Another assortment were called S'Creams and were just hard candies with a milky swirl to them, kind of like Lifesaver's Creamsavers. They were pleasant enough, with a Werther's-like crunch if you bit them but a good tangy hit too to keep them interesting and satisfying. I picked up Orange, Strawberry and Melon.
There were a few flavors of these, I picked up Pudding Marshmallow, Grape Marshmallow, Mango Marshmallow and then two that have no English text on them - one has purple on its wrapper and the other has pink.
Mango Marshmallow - shown above - sucked royally. I had two of them, I at that bite of one and I gave the other to Amy, who promptly spit it out in my trash can. Why is it bad? It just is ... don't make me think about it.
Pudding Marshmallow - it looks suspiciously like Mango, but thankfully is quite nice. It's a marshmallow with a little lump of creamy, dulce de leche tasting filling in the middle. Not quite fudge, not quite creme, but pleasant and a little artificially vanilla tasting but with a tasty hit of salt.
Chocolate Marshmallow - there was no indication what this was, just a pink wrapper. The chocolate was a cross between frosting and a Tootsie roll. Not as good as the pudding one, but I liked it.
Grape Marshmallow - hmm, it was okay, but the grape filling was like cheap jelly and it just didn't appeal much to me.
Basically, Aji Ichiban is as much of an adventure as you want it to be. You can grab a pound of simple mixed candies that you know and love or you can push the boundaries of your taste experiences and just shovel them into your bag blindly and see what happens.
I think the candy is horribly expensive for pure sugar stuff - $10 a pound is way up there even for the fancy fruit candies from Italy that I see at Zabars or something. But the variety is pretty special and with no minimums and the ability to mix and match is a huge plus. You can also order online, but there's a half-pound minimum with most candies and of course the selection is limited. They have stores in several large cities across the edges of the United States, but they don't have the addresses on their site.

Tootsie Tropical Pops
It's hot. I've mentioned it before, and I know it's summer ... but I'm guessing it's hot wherever you are too and you're wondering, "what sort of candy can I eat right now?"
Lately I've found myself indulging in Tootsie Pops in the afternoon. Usually orange ones, sometimes grape. They're way cheap, and pretty easy to find as singles at the convenience store.
But then I saw these at the 99 Cent Only Store. Tootsie has timed their new Limited Edition Pops rather well. It's an assortment of five new flavors. Though they're hardly tropical, as far as I'm concerned, they're all nice flavors.
What's great about Tootsie Pops is that there's a bit of variety in that single sphere - a tangy piece of hard candy and the soft, vaguely chocolatey center. They're easy to hold and don't get you all sticky and only 60 calories a pop.
Pineapple - the one truly tropical flavor here, it's peppy, tangy and nicely fragrant.
Tangerine - hardly tropical and barely different from the traditional orange, but I'm a huge fan of tangerine flavors and this one is pretty nice and goes really well with the lamely chocolate Tootsie Roll center.
Lemon-Lime - even less tropical because it's not even exotic, but hey, it's a nice sassy flavor. A little ordinary and not a very good combo with the Tootsie Roll core.
Watermelon - I'm never much of a fan of watermelon. The only watermelon I care much for is Jolly Ranchers ... but this was nice and the Tootsie Roll goes oddly well with the rather bland and sweet flavor.
Purple Punch - a rather nondescript punch flavor. Tangy, with some passion fruit notes but mostly a bland orangey.
Tootsie Pops aren't the perfect lolly - they're a little inconsistent, there are voids in the candy that can make them sharp from time to time and of course the twisted wrapper doesn't always protect them from more humid conditions.
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? I dunno ... but the commercial sure was cute and memorable ... much better than this later commercial in the eighties.

Warheads Juniors Extreme Sour
I've never had Warheads before. I've just carried on with my life without the blisteringly sour candies that they offer. You can capture customers for that sort of thing when they're young, but you don't just find women in their thirties picking up the super-sour habit, do you? Well, maybe if they have a blog and are looking for new experiences.
I'm skipping over all the other Warheads products because this one was free and I liked the package. It's a friendly little flattened plastic tube with a flip top. You can hear the little candy spheres rattling around in there. The flavor set is wide - black cherry, apple, lemon, watermelon and blue raspberry. The little gauge on the back of the package says that the sour power contained within is EXTREME and there's an additional warning:
I'd say that's probably good advice. It took me two separate tastings to write up this review and after the second one my tongue was a little numbed.
The candies themselves are very pretty. Bright colors with a slight powdered look to the surface, I was guessing that they were coated with some sort of super sourness. They don't smell like much, just a kind of vague fruit punch when they're all together, but after reading the warnings, my mouth was watering.
Blue Raspberry - the first impulse on the tongue is a floral raspberry that quickly becomes as blisteringly sour bite that last only as long as that scant coating on the outside. Then it's just a nice, small sourball. The blue raspberry is actually a nice hard candy after that with a lot of flavor. They're easy to chew up so you can get on to the next one.
Apple - no flavor to start with here, just that so-tart that it's almost salty. The apple flavor starts in shortly after that with a good rounded flavor that leans to the chemical side.
Watermelon - there's a nice woodsy watermelon flavor on the top of this one and it goes really well with the tart coating, just like some people like salt on their watermelon. The watermelon candy underneath is really refreshing and more authentic tasting than I expected.
Black Cherry - the intense sourness on this one completely overshadowed the underlying flavor for quite a while. The black cherry wasn't as intense as I thought it would be - not even as strong as a cherry Lifesaver. Not that I'm complaining as I don't care much for cherry, but the others seemed to have more flavor to them.
Lemon - gotta be my favorite (I think I like all yellow candies). The sour goes so well with the lemon, which is a full-bodied version with a little bit of oily zest flavor combined with the sourness.
I don't know if I'd buy these again, but I like the size and proportion of these little pieces. They're about the size of a Lemonhead, and what's nice is the flavor variety in one package (even though I'm not fond of all the flavors, they're all passably good, even the cherry). The recloseable top makes it easy to share and easy to save them for later after your tongue has healed. They're not as blisteringly sour as the Super Lemon from Japan, which in my estimation makes them more edible.

Pure Fun Candy Floss
In honor of the Memorial Day Holiday, I thought I'd do a candy that you usually find when you're at a big summer event. Cotton Candy is one of those treats that I think most of us enjoy on the midway at the fair or other vacation spots. I've never bought cotton candy (or candy floss as the Brits and Canadians call it) for home consumption.
Pure Fun's candy floss has a unique twist - it's organic and all natural. That's right, it's made from pure, organically farmed cane sugar and a touch of natural flavoring/colors. They also make note that it's vegan, which is kind of funny because I've never had cotton candy made with animal products before (I know some vegans take exception to commercially processed sugar because it might be filtered through charcoal that might contain animal bones).
The packaging also bills that there are no trans fats and no cholesterol. Well, I'm sorry, but DUH! I'm not sure who doesn't know that cotton candy is spun sugar and how could it have any fats - good, bad, trans or otherwise? It's also low in sodium, why isn't that on the label? But the important thing is that this 1.5 liter tub contains only 2.12 ounces of sugar. I was watching Unwrapped over the weekend and one segment mentioned that good cotton candy is 80% air. You can eat the whole tub and it's only 240 calories (all carbs though).
One serving is said to be a quarter of the tub. Which was actually a satisfying amount for me. I'm not sure if you could put a tub like this in front of a kid and expect them to eat only a portion. Of course, I'm not sure how you'd "serve" it otherwise ... take out the scissors and cut off a quarter of it and put it on a plate?
Okay, enough of the snarking. They were nice enough to send me five tubs containing four flavors ... so let's get to it!
Canadian Maple - this was pure genius! How could there not be a maple cotton candy before now? It's a natural flavor combo and the taste is insanely good. Woodsy and sweet and of course the texture of the fluffed sugar is sublime. This one had the best texture of the four, ultra smooth and superfine. Since they gave me two tubs of this, I took one next door and everyone thought it was "expletive-deleted-good." By far this was everyone's favorite who tried them all (including me).
Root Beer - I was expecting something subtle here, as cotton candy isn't really known for "flavor" but the root beer here was intense. A good, slight, wintergreen burn after it dissolved kept me eating more and more of it. It's like a spun root beer barrel!
Licorice - I'm not sure how this is going to go over with other people, but I thought this was an excellent flavor. It smelled a little medicinal, but on the tongue it was great. It was like a black jelly bean, except my tongue didn't change color and there are no sticky bits stuck in my teeth. It's a lovely
Bubble Gum - I'd heard about this before and so I saved it for last. It doesn't smell quite right and looks an awful lot like insulation. A little musty odor combines with the sweet sugar. Holy Moly it's bad. I don't know why it's bad and I'm not sure I want to know, but the taste is off. Bubble gum flavor (as in Bazooka) has always had a little wintergreen hint in my mind and then there are bubble gum flavors that are a little fruity like JuicyFruit ... this was neither. This was just a jumble of bad associations wrapped up in sweet. Pure Fun needs to dump this flavor or seriously reformulate. If I hadn't read other reviews of this flavor, I would have thought I had a bad batch.
They make one other flavor, Cinnamon, that wasn't in my assortment, but if it's as good as the Root Beer, I'm on board. Their website even has recipes for using candy floss as a pie topper, for sundaes and even in martinis.
I don't think that pure sugar can ever be considered a health food, but without the addition of preservatives, artificial flavors or colors as well as their organic, vegan and Kosher certifications, Pure Fun has removed any trepidation anyone might have for buying a cool and sweet indulgence. The smallish tub also controls portions. I honestly didn't think I would like this as much as I did, but I've found myself sneaking little bits of fluff over the past few days of all three of the good flavors.
The only issue at the moment is where to buy this fluff. They're not in stores yet (or at least not according to their website) and everyone who has tasted it has found it via a show of some sort (Candy Expo Toronto or Fancy Food Expo). They don't even sell it directly through their website. I'll try to post an update when I hear that it's for sale. I don't even know what the expected price is for one of the tubs. I'd be willing to pay as much as $4 for it.
UPDATE: I almost forgot, check out the Candy Critic - he's also gotten a hold of some, and you can see how he does his reviews (which really isn't that different from how I do mine).

Pop Rocks Limon
Pop Rocks are a Spanish product, so it's only natural they would angle some of their product towards the large Hispanic market in North America. I this at the Walgreen's in Echo Park, which is (or was) a rather traditional Hispanic neighborhood in LA. Half of the package is in Spanish, just as half the packaging in Canada is in French.
The top half tells us that it's Salt and Lemon Pop Rocks ... Popping Candy. The bottom half says Sal y Limon ... Dulce con Chasquido.
I didn't know what the word chasquido meant (though by context it means popping) so I looked it up on babelfish. No luck there ... so I googled the word and found a page in Spanish that had a definition, which I then ran though the translator. So, the bad internet translator says:
But you want to know about this strange savory, sweet and tangy version of Pop Rocks, right?
First, you have to shake it well because the salt and rocks tend to separate. Then I poured it on my tongue and I admit it was a riot of tastes - they're all there. The salt is, well, intensely salty. It's the first ingredient on the list, so there's a lot of it in there. Next, it was bitter, like some sort of mineral taste. Then the rocks started popping and releasing a bit sugar and there were other little snaps of sour released as well.
It was hard to keep it in my mouth. It's really salty. I'm used to salt as a condiment, not as the main dish. There are 984
milligrams of salt in this little package - that's about 50% of your daily allowance or about as much as you'd find in a serving of canned soup. Of course the recommended "portion" for these Pop Rocks Limon is 1/8 of the package.
I had one mouthful of the stuff and then tried dumping some out on a piece of paper and just eating the rocks but it's just too salty for me. I'd also like it to taste more like lemon. How hard would it be to put a little zesty lemon flavor in there too? I'm thinking someone might be able to come up with something interesting to do with this savory version of Pop Rocks. Maybe use it as the final garnish for a salad or something. Could be the next trend in haute cuisine.
The one thing that I did really like about this version of Pop Rocks is the packaging. The long, narrow tube is much easier to handle than the flat packs that Pop Rocks usually come in. It's easy to fold over and reseal and easy to dispense onto the tongue.

What's truly baffling in the whole confectionery world is that most sweets are made from the same ingredients. Yet the processes applied to them and the combinations can yield vastly different results. The Bunny Basket Eggs reviewed last week are an excellent example of sugar done wrong.
Konpeito (or Kompeito) is just sugar, and done so well. These little rocks, about the size of a pea and simply rock sugar with a little food coloring. And when you compare iit to those awful marshmallow Easter eggs, it makes no sense.
If you ever saw Spirited Away, you may have seen this candy. They're little multi-faceted sugar crystal lumps that look like three dimensional stars.
There's not much else to say about them except that they're sweet and cute. If you're looking for a special little something exotic for an Easter basket, these might fit the bill, the packaging is pink and pretty and of course the little pastel morsels of sugar are, well, rock candy. And rock candy rocks. You can even pick up a package and use it when you serve tea or coffee as a cuter version of the old sugar cubes.
See also: CandyAddict.com review, JunkFoodBlog has more on the cultural significance and limited edition versions and Wikipedia has a full entry including the references to Kompeito in media.

The Lemonhead & Fruit Heads
Ferrara Pan is a favorite of mine for one product they make: Lemonheads. No one else makes anything like it. It's a hard, sweet lemon candy coated in a grainy, super sour coat and then a sweet "lemon peel". Genius.
When I was a kid there were a bunch of varieties of these candies and they each had a cool name. There was Alexander the Grape, Johnny Apple Treats and Mr. Melon. Somewhere between the late eighties and the present Ferrara Pan dumped those names and reintroduced the fruit flavored, layered candies under the Lemonheads style naming convention.
The original. The classic. The. Perfect. Lemon. Candy.
Fantastic idea - it's a Lemonhead, only it's orange! The color is vibrant and they have both the zesty orange taste and the tartness. They're not as blisteringly tart as Lemonheads, but the flavor can't be beat. I don't think these existed under another name way back when, but better late than never! My second favorite fruit head!
Well, folks know my feelings about cherry flavor. This is the classic cherry with some good rounded fruity notes and a sour bite to it. Like a cherry Lifesaver, only spherical and tarter. The original name of this candy was Cherry Chan ... so it's probably good that Ferrara Pan decided to rename the whole line into something less offensive. (Though they briefly renamed them to Cherry Clan and changed the art a little bit.)
I used to eat these all the time as a kid. I loved the name, Alexander the Grape and the package logo was a little grape wearing a Trojan helmet. The color is a little surprising, as it's very dark purple, almost navy blue or black. The flavor is a more complex grape than many other grape flavored candies these days and the package boasts "real fruit juice." Of course the real fruit juice listed is apple. There are Appleheads, but I didn't find those at the store (and had to get a smaller box of the Grapeheads because they weren't available in the larger size).
When I first started on my Lemonheads/Alexander the Grape kick I was in grade school. We lived in Munroe Falls, OH and in good weather me and my older sister and younger brother were allowed to walk about a half a mile down the rural highway, over the Cuyahoga River and the Falls and then train tracks to the Stop 'n Go in "downtown" Munroe Falls. This was the store where I also discovered such non-confectionery wonders as Pringles, Doritos and of course Starbursts, the Marathon Bar, Jolly Rancher Fire Stix and Charms Sweet 'n Sour Pops with my allowance. Lemonheads were desireable because they were cheap and the box could be used as a noisemaker later. Sadly, the boxes are now the tab-top variety and no longer make that noise. (Chicket's boxes still do, though.)
I like to eat my Lemonheads by peeling them with my teeth. First I anchor a candy at my first molar and crack about a third of the shell off. This reveals the super sour layer. Then I move the candy to my front teeth and pry off the rest of the peel using my teeth and tongue (if you're wondering, yes, I can tie a cherry stem in a knot with my tongue). Then after the sourness is exhausted, I chew up the rest of the sweet candy and repeat until the box is empty. Giant Lemonheads are dealt with in a similar manner but I think that classic Lemonheads are better since the ratio of sour coating to candy is a little better. I wish the candy centers had a bit more flavor, but I've loved them 'as-is' forever, so I shouldn't be advocating any changes. I also wish the the unfortunate Narbles that they introduced a few years back had this same sour peel to them.
Lemonheads and their fruity brethren are the perfect traveling candy. I enjoy hard candy when I'm on long road trips because of the variety of flavors and the interactivity which requires no hands (some fireballs must be removed from the mouth when they get too hot). The little burst of sour keeps me awake and engaged and of course being a pure sugar candy there's fewer calories per ounce than something with chocolate in it. On my wishlist would be a few other flavors - including Grapefruit and maybe Strawberry and it would be cool to be able to buy a mixed bag of all the flavors.
You can watch a virtual tour of how Lemonheads are made in the panning process.

Who is willing to lend me $100 if I will pay a total interest rate of 100%? (I plan to pay you back in 2050) If the nominal interest rate is 10% and the inflation rate is 15%, how much is the REAL interest rate? Real Interest Rates- The percentage increase in purchasing power that a borrower pays. (adjusted for inflation) Real = nominal interest rate - expected inflation Nominal Interest Rates- the percentage increase in money that the borrower pays not adjusting for inflation. Nominal = Real interest rate + expected inflation Nominal vs. Real Interest Rates Example #1: You lend out $100 with 20% interest. Inflation is 15%. A year later you get paid back $120. What is the nominal and what is the real interest rate? Nominal interest rate is 20%. Real interest rate was 5% In reality, you get paid back an amount with less purchasing power. Example #2: You lend out $100 with 10% interest. Prices are expected to increased 20%. In a year you get paid back $110. What is the nominal and what is the real interest rate? Nominal interest rate is 10%. Real rate was –10% In reality, you get paid back an amount with less purchasing power. So far we have only been looking at NOMINAL interest rates. What about REAL interest rates? Loanable Funds Market 7 Loanable Funds Market Is an interest rate of 50% good or bad?

"Our tour guide, Andre was fantastic. He knew the city like the back of his hand. He was proud of his heritage and willing in the most unselfish way to share it. He even stopped for a moment to give information on the Professor's Walk at the University of Cracow to an Italian couple who was bewildered at what the place was. Kudos Andre!"

Wt. 230.8
I had a binge weekend. There are things going on in my life right now that are making it hard not to binge. I am going to use Primal as a way to avoid balooning back up to 280 lbs, but at this point I don't see any hope for further weight loss. When I was eating tons of sugar this weekend, my hypoglycemic reactions-breathlessness, anxiety, inability to sleep came right back. Unfortunately, it didn't scare me enough to stop me.

Return of the Zombie Congress
November 6, 2014 by Alan Berkelhammer
Filed under Constitution, Economy, Environment, Executive Branch, Global Warming, Healthcare, Hot Topics, Immigration, Legislative Branch, National Info, Taxes
The midterms are over, but the fight has just begun. Hold Republicans' feet to the fire."The price of liberty is eternal vigilance." – Thoms Jefferson
Jim DeMint / @JimDeMint / November 05, 2014
With the midterm elections just behind us, Americans might think they can finally stop worrying about politics for a while. Not so fast! Now is when they need to be more vigilant than ever.
Although dozens of politicians were replaced with fresh faces on Election Day, the losers don't have to vacate their offices for two months. That means they can keep on voting in a "lame duck" session of Congress.
While "lame duck" is the standard parlance in D.C., I prefer the more colorful term "Zombie Congress," popularized in recent years by George Will and others. It more aptly conveys the peril of the situation. Zombie legislators are those unhappy senators and representatives who have been voted out of office, yet still stagger dutifully back to Washington for a month or so before Christmas break. 'Tis the season when they are most dangerous.
Unlike their B-movie counterparts, these zombies don't seek brains, though they could probably use some. With no electorate to appease, the newly politically "deceased" members have no incentive to restrain their more base urges to feast upon the hard-earned tax dollars of the living.
Unfortunately, lame duck sessions have become more common in recent years and have been used to rush through liberal policies while most Americans are focused on the holidays. Obamacare was rammed through the Senate on Christmas Eve in 2009. Other lame ducks were used to pass bailouts, debt limit increases, big spending bills, special-interest tax breaks and even an ill-advised arms treaty with Russia.
Lame duck lawmakers could use this year's post-election session to push through a costly omnibus spending bill … with total impunity. Those who want to further burden Americans by taxing their Internet purchases also are contemplating the chance to ram through the misleadingly titled "Marketplace Fairness Act." The "fairness" here means you send more money to the government! Read more at dailysignal.com.
Not All Good For Dems
October 30, 2014 by Rod Gonzalez
Filed under Economy, Press Releases
As stated in BizPac Review-
With two years left of Barack Obama, the black communities are facing the Democratic party head on in the face of the upcoming midterms. Rebel Pundit released a video of Chicago activists Paul McKinley, Mark Carter, Joseph Watkins and Harold "Noonie" Ward bringing a powerful message to black voters.
A long list of heartfelt grievances about how blacks have been abused by Democrats can be summed up by one of the men, "They force us into a life of welfare. We don't want no welfare."
Unfortunately many are upset because they still don't think they are getting a large enough piece of the pie, but at least it is a start to allow other ideas to be heard.

The 15 Most Shocking Statements in ObamaCare Architect's 'Die at 75′ Article
September 23, 2014 by Alan Berkelhammer
Filed under Constitution, Economy, Educational, Executive Branch, Healthcare, Hot Topics, National Info
Maybe old Zeke should do himself and everyone else on the planet a favor and commit suicide on his 75th birthday!
By John Nolte
Last week, esteemed doctor and one of our ObamaCare Architect Overlords penned a column for the Atlantic that should win a Pulitzer Prize for passive-aggressive shaming. Although Emanuel claims that *he* doesn't want to live past the age of 75, the article itself could have been a listicle titled, "Top 15 Reasons No One Over 75 Should Receive Healthcare."
Emanuel even includes a monstrous but brightly colored graph that is meant to tell anyone over 75 that their "last contribution" to society likely occurred more than a decade ago.
Good God.
The phrase "the banality of evil" gets bandied about a lot. Emanuel's column, which in reality is a public service announcement meant to begin a debate about the way in which we prioritize healthcare, takes the prize in that department. Read more at breitbart.com.
Yet Again Progressive Republicans Selling Us Down The River
September 16, 2014 by Laurie Newsom
Filed under Economy, Executive Branch, Hot Topics, Immigration, Legislative Branch
In what has become the modus operandi of the progressive Republican party the citizenry are about to be nailed yet again over the next three days as the House caves in to Obama's demands. Not only is Congress poised to deliver everything the tyrant wants it will also revert back to funding the feds with a continuing resolution thus turning its back on the hard won return last year to a real budgetary process. All because Harry Reid has let the budget presented by Congress to sit on his desk with no Senate action. Citizens, pull out your wallets and surrender your sovereignty – we're in for a nasty, bumpy ride.
"House Republicans are poised to extend the Export-Import Bank's charter well into next year, despite decrying the agency as an antiquated vestige of crony capitalism. They will fund the federal government until mid-December without much of a fight. And, most notably, they are rapidly moving toward giving the White House authority to arm and train Syrian rebels, despite deep misgivings about their ability to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and even deeper distrust of Obama's foreign policy."

Kudos To Burger King!
September 15, 2014 by Laurie Newsom
Filed under Economy, Hot Topics
Burger King has merged with a Canadian company, Tim Horton's, for many reasons but the one reason that will overwhelmingly benefit BK's employees and customers is the lower tax rate for this hugely successful corporation. Congratulations and kudos to BK!
"Burger King has acquired Tim Horton's for $11.4 billion U.S. While an optimist may hope this acquisition produces the donut technology needed for a mass-marketed Luther Burger, a realist has to acknowledge that it's probably about corporate inversion.
Simply put, corporate inversion means a corporation reincorporates in a lower-tax country abroad. The common justification of taxation is that the government provides the public goods that business needs to prosper. But the United States is unique in that it taxes corporations at 35 percent regardless of where the income is earned, and hence regardless of whether the corporation benefited from any public goods.
"When a firm operates in a competitive environment, a reduction in tax rates translates into reduced prices for consumers. No one usually complains when firms find cheaper ways to produce and then pass these savings on to consumers. It is only a strange form of patriotism, driven largely by political interests, that equates love of country with the love of the IRS."

The Unemployed: America's New Leisure Class
September 10, 2014 by Laurie Newsom
Filed under Economy, Hot Topics
For those of you who truly work for a living, how do you feel about funding limitless vacation time for the unemployed?
"Only 18.9 percent of Americans who were unemployed (in surveys conducted from 2009 through 2013) spent time in job search and interviewing activities on an average day, according to BLS. Yet 40.8 percent of the unemployed did some kind of shopping on the average day–either in a store, by telephone, or on the Internet. 22.5 percent of the unemployed, according to BLS, were shopping for items other than groceries, food and gas."
"An unemployed person—on the average day—was more likely to spend time on shopping, sports and recreation, socializing and leisure, than they were searching for and interviewing for a new job, according to BLS.
According to BLS, 96.7 percent of the unemployed spent time during the average day participating in "socializing, relaxing, and leisure" activities and spent, on average, 5.93 hours on those activities—or more than twice the number of hours they spent job searching."

FHA Housing Bubble About To Burst?
August 4, 2014 by Laurie Newsom
Filed under Economy, Hot Topics
From the Washington Times:
"Government policies are creating the next candidate for taxpayer bailout: the Federal Housing Administration. Originally created to help low- to moderate-income Americans buy houses, this agency now guarantees mortgages as large as $730,000, which is significantly higher than the $625,000 houses whose loans Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac backed before the housing collapse"
"While the Fed will look to "employment cost" in deciding what to do in cutting back on monetary stimulus and raising interest rates, it's not so much that wages rose by 1 percent that matters, but that productivity actually fell by 3 percent last year, and what happens this year. If productivity fails to rise, we could be stuck in stagnation because an employer cannot afford to pay more to an employee who isn't more productive. The growing burden of regulations is holding back productivity."

Left-Wing 'Billionaire's Club' Subverts Democracy
August 1, 2014 by Alan Berkelhammer
Filed under Constitution, Economy, Educational, Environment, Hot Topics, National Info
by James Delingpole 30 Jul 2014
"There aren't a lot of functioning democracies around the world that work this way where you can basically have millionaires and billionaires bankrolling whoever they want, however they want, in some cases undisclosed. What it means is ordinary Americans are shut out of the process." Barack Obama, White House press conference, Oct 2013.
Yes, indeed. But the millionaires and billionaires doing the damage are Obama's allies on the liberal-left, not his enemies on the right. So says a devastating report published today by the US Senate Committee on the Environment and Public Works.
The report details how an elite group of rich liberal donors such as Tom Steyer and Hank Paulson – "the Billionaire's Club" – is directing and controlling the far-left environmental movement, "which in turn lobbies and controls major policy decisions and lobbies on behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)."

House Republicans Prepare To Betray Us Again

Using the Veteran Affairs debacle as an excuse progressive House Republicans are growing government YET AGAIN! SHOCKER!
"This is how House Republicans want to fix the VA situation. Only it won't actually fix the problems. It just spends massive amounts of money to bandaid the problems. As Daniel Horowitz notes, "Total VA spending has increased by 56% to $152 billion since 2009, yet the crisis has only gotten worse." The House Republicans' solution is to spend even more."
Will The NLRB Help Unions Destroy Franchise Businesses?
July 29, 2014 by Laurie Newsom
Filed under Economy, Hot Topics
What are we being told time and time again? That small business is the engine of our country. But this is fast waning as small businesses struggle to survive under crushing regulations and taxes. Now another threat confronts them: the National Labor Relations Board.
"Big Labor has put a lot of time and money behind unionizing the fast food industry but hasn't had much to show for it so far. They might soon get a lucky break though when a federal government agency decides a case that could rewrite corporate franchising law.
The problem Big Labor has is that in most cases your favorite drive-through burger joint is actually a locally owned small business. About 80 percent of the 12,700 McDonald's restaurants in the U.S., for example, are not owned by the corporation."
"An upcoming National Labor Relations Board case involving complaints against McDonald's may fix that problem for unions. The NLRB might decide that both the parent corporation and the local franchises are in fact joint employers."

Things have gotten so bad that Detroit residents are fighting over the only thing more urgently necessary than food and weapons when nature reclaims its authority over civilization.
Even gasoline and fire can be lived without. But not water.
Wars have been fought over it and civilizations have ceased for the lack of it. And so the battle rages in Detroit as the once-great civilization slips into chaos.

As if it was not bad enough that the taxpayers are footing the bill for over 40 million food stamp recipients, now your food prices will go up even more when food stores have to pass on their INCREASED cost of doing business to YOU. All for the good of ensuring food stamp recipients are better educated on how to eat. Oh yeah, this will probably become a mandate as more ridiculous things have been mandated in the past.
From the Daily Mail- Free movie tickets and supermarket cooking classes are just a few of the latest recommendations the government is proposing to trim America's waistband. The new proposals were detailed in an 80-page report released this month by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and is focused on the 42 million Americans receiving food stamps. However, it's uncertain if grocery stores will take up these new programs as First Lady Michele Obama is already coming under criticism for her health school lunches.
The new recommendations are designed to reward healthy eating and change supermarket layouts and programs to highlight more nutritional foods.

EPA Regulations Ensure Ongoing Economic Malaise
June 3, 2014 by Laurie Newsom
Filed under Economy, Environment, Hot Topics
Get ready for many years of, at best, economic stagnation or, at worst, long term depression and hyperinflation. The new EPA regulations will ensure any or all. Businesses that create productive jobs and economic growth cannot depend on irregular and expensive energy. Read both articles.
"Spain may be a very different place from America but where renewable energy is concerned, the rules are exactly the same: the more "clean energy" you develop, the more scum-sucking corporatist parasites you attract, the more eagles you slice and dice, and the greater the burden you place on both the taxpayer and the economy – all to no discernible practical purpose whatsoever.
Welcome to Obama's bright green future. The Spanish (and the Danish, and the Portugese, and the Germans…) have already seen it and it doesn't work.

Even if digital advertising budgets where to rise 500%, it would still not cover the cost of traditional media.
There is an ongoing discussion about the future of advertising. On one hand we have print advertising, which is in decline - in some places drastically. Many newspaper executives apparently believe the "worst is over" and that while it will continue to decline for 2-3 more years, it will eventually stabilize.
It won't...
Then we have online advertising, which is increasing. This sounds very good, but it isn't.
In this article, I am going to explain why advertising doesn't have a future for publishers. Partly because it has already passed the point of no return; the media just hasn't realized it yet.
Every single newspaper or magazine relies on advertising first to stay in business. Sure, they also have subscriptions and newsstand sales, but advertising makes up the bulk of the revenue.
For the New York Times, for instance, advertising makes up 60% of the total revenue (subscriptions/single copy sales make up 31%).
The problem of course is that print advertising revenue has declined dramatically over the past couple of years. The New York Times advertising revenue has dropped from $1.7 billion to $1.3 billion from 2008 to 2010 (25%). Vogue has dropped 48% from 2009 to 2011.
Of course it is not all bad. The Financial Times says that advertising decline has flat lined for most of 2011 after a catastrophic summer of 2010.
So ...maybe it will stabilize? Right? ....Please?
I'm sorry. It is too late for that, and here is why.
Who is buying the advertising? It's the brands. What do brands care about? Well, if you ask the CEO he would say *sales!!*. But if you ask the person actually buying the ads, the CMOs (marketing executives), most of them have no clue. They still believe that exposure equals sales.
For the past 100 years, marketing executives have been living a lie. They believe that when they buy a full page ad in a popular magazine, the numbers they are given are actually something useful.

Featuring a new terrace overlooking the Adriatic Sea, Al Cavallino Bianco is in the heart of Riccione. It is a short walk from the Congress Centre and the shops along Viale Ceccarini.
Score from 287 reviews Very good
We found the Fedora the perfect hotel for our visit to the Adriatic Coast. Staff are helpful and knowledgeable. The facilities are more in keeping to a 4 star hotel in our experience and we loved Riccione and the surrounding area thank you for a perfect stay. Brett & Margaret from the UK
Nothing to dislike having a car helped us explore more.
The hotel was well-equipped and the breakfast was fantastic.
The free parking place is 300 hundred meters away from the hotel. We booked two nights (69 €/night) but we stayed only one because the wellness was 20€/person/entry and it was not indicated on booking.com. When we told the receptionist it wasn't on the webpage she was very arrogant and she told us there is a sentece in the fine print section about it.(about it's an additional cost but the amount was not indicated) In my opinion the price for the wellness doesn't fit for the price for the hotel.
Well located beach side, facilities for kids i.e. Heated kids pool, baby room with small kitchen, outdoor play area. Room clean and renovated. Slept couple with 4 year old and baby confortably. Staff helpful and courteous. Free wi-fi. Very kind bike guide, but if you are a serious biker may not be satisfied.

Notes from the Manager
Related Strips: #589: Dream Come True
Thanks again to TJ Tague for Wednesday's guest strip! I'll get it onto the Guest Strips page as soon as I can.
Fans of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies will probably recognize panel 10 as being a reference to a scene in Nightmare on Elm Street 3, but I don't think you really need to know that to follow what's going on. I mean, seriously, you've all figured out by now that if there isn't a panel border, it's not real, right? (If the girl in bed with Jason changing every panel wasn't enough of a hint there.)
I like to think that Jason and Kurt actually did act out the bit in panels 4 and 5 to scare the Blogger, though, and that it wasn't only Jason's dream (within a dream).
I'll be reminding you (many times, probably) in the near future, but Multiplex: Enjoy Your Show will be listed in Diamond Comics' June PREVIEWS catalog (for sale in August). Its order code is JUN110987. Especially for those of you who live overseas, where the cost to ship the book often exceeds the cost of the book itself, this will your best chance to get the book! Have your local comics shop (which almost undoubtedly has an account with Diamond) order the book for you along with their regular order!
Send them over to http://www.multiplexcomic.com/enjoyyourshow if they want to learn more about the book, or read some clips from the many positive reviews the book has gotten since it was first published! The better the book sells through Diamond, the more likely they will carry Book 2 — which will also have some impact on whether Book 2 arrives sooner, rather than later… or (gulp) not at all.
Back to the subject of the strip, though: Have we got any other Nightmare on Elm Street fans out there? I like 1, 3, 4, and 5, despite all of their flaws — and 3 is actually my favorite. 2 and 6 were garbage, though, and I never saw any of the others. What I loved about 3 and 4 is the idea that Freddy actually has opponents who could sort of… but never really seem to… actually challenge him in a meaningful way. Those films don't really explore that idea as much as I would have liked, but they're still fun films. (I'd love the chance to write a Nightmare on Elm Street comic, now that I think about it… Somebody make that happen.)

"Steeping" by Gordon McAlpin
Saturday, November 22, 2014
A short experimental film I made for schoolz. (Mostly) shot in 240 fps slow motion on an iPhone 6. Edited with Final Cut Pro. There are a few shots I'd have liked to redo if I wasn't under the gun for a deadline (and hadn't run out of tea), but… oh well.
