Facebook receives a tax refund of $429 million on a $1.1 billion profit, how is your 1040 coming?

Dislike

Well, maybe we were wrong. In an earlier analysis of Facebook’s value before the IPO, we suggested that Facebook was a piece of shit company and a terrible investment. Well, it is, but it’s a great vehicle for moving enormous amounts of money into the pockets of a select few. Check out this article from Wolf Richter on Testosterone Pit for the full story of how Facebook is just another corporate welfare recipient of this facist government.

Facebook filed its first 10-K annual report with the SEC, containing its financial statements for 2012 along with a host of small-print footnotes which presumably no one would ever look at. But the recalcitrant nonpartisan research and advocacy group, Citizens … [Read more]

How to spot a ladyboy

Ladyboy

This one is going to be short and sweet but I think this is something every traveler to Thailand and perhaps other Southeast Asian destinations needs to know.

The only real dead giveaway is the Adams apple… however that can be surgically removed so you can’t depend on this one alone. Absent an Adams apple, check out the following features:

1. Voice – many ladyboys have an awful sounding masculine voice (think Borat doing his impression of his wife).
2. Facial structure – many ladyboys have something that just doesn’t look quite right about their facial structure, sometimes the face just looks a bit masculine, sometimes it just looks weird in some way you … [Read more]
