Rare Library of Congress colour photographs of the Great Depression | Mail Online

Rare Library of Congress colour photographs of the Great Depression | Mail Online.

It was an era that defined a generation. The Great Depression marked the bitter and abrupt end to the post-World War 1 bubble that left America giddy with promise in the 1920s. Near the end of the 1930s the country was beginning to recover from the crash, but many in small towns and rural areas were still poverty-stricken. These rare photographs are some of the few documenting those iconic years in colour. The photographs and captions are the property of the Library of Congress and were included in a 2006 exhibit Bound for Glory: America in Color. The images, by photographers of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information, shed a bleak new light on a world now gone with the wind.

Controversial “Heart Attack Grill” Opens in Dallas

Heart Attack Grill offers free dining to customers over 350 pounds

Heart Attack Grill opened in Dallas on Friday, boasting the slogan “taste worth dying for,” along with suchmenu items as “the double bypass burger” and “flatliner fries” served by waitresses in nurses’ costumes.

The chain, started in Chandler, Ariz., caters to customers who want to defy the growing concern of eating healthy. In line with this theme, nutritioninformation is not disclosed at the restaurant or on their website.

The restaurant also offers free meals to people weighing over 350 pounds. And, if you manage to eat the 8,000-calorie Quadruple Bypass Burger by yourself, you receive a free wheelchair ride to your car.

Not all are pleased with the restaurant’s presence or its message, however. Dr. Marion Nestle of New York University told CBS News in an email that Heart Attack Grill is “aiding and abetting bad behavior.”

Similarly, weight loss advocate Laurel White carried a basked of apples to give away to potential customers at the restaurant’s opening.

Mind Boggling!

How Much is a Billion
Depends on who you ask

How many zeros in a billion?

The next time you hear a politician use the
Word ‘billion’ in a casual manner, think about
Whether you want the ‘politicians’ spending
YOUR tax money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
But one advertising agency did a good job of
Putting that figure into some perspective in
One of its releases..

A.
A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

B.
A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

C.
A billion hours ago our ancestors were
Living in the Stone Age.

D.
A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

E.
A billion dollars ago was only
8 hours and 20 minutes,
At the rate our government
Is spending it.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain…
let’s take a look at New Orleans …
It’s amazing what you can learn with some simple division.

Louisiana Senator,
Mary Landrieu (D)
Is presently asking Congress for
250 BILLION DOLLARS
To rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number…..
What does it mean?

A.
Well . If you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans
(every man, woman, and child)
You each get $516,528.

B.
Or…. If you have one of the 188,251 homes in
New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.

C.
Or… If you are a family of four…..
Your family gets $2,066,012.

Washington , D. C

‘POLITICIANS!’

The Meltup – One of THE most important documentaries of your life

The Dollar Bubble, like the housing bubble, may collapse

People, you really need to start paying attention to your finances, and what the government is doing. I pity the fools who show no interest in politics. You are possibly about to be wiped out.

Glenn Beck Documentary – part 1

Spurned Mistress May Have Taken Her Bitterness To Times Square Billboards

That saying “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”? It just got real, y’all: Gawker has multiple sources saying that a lovey-dovey billboard in Times Square featuring a huge photo of a couple named Charles Phillips and YaVaughnie Wilkins is actually the work of a scorned mistress (that would be YaVaughnie Wilkins) who wants to embarrass her former lover. Not only might Phillips be a married man, but he is also the co-president of a company called Oracle and a member of Obama’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board.

Oh, dear.

The romantic billboards, which appear in possibly three locations in Manhattan, show a picture of a man and woman, with the words “‘You are my soulmate forever! – cep’” written across the top and the website “charlesphillipsandyavaughniewilkins.com” written across the bottom. To regular folks looking at the billboard, it appeared to be a sweet declaration of love. Visitors to the now-unavailable site were treated to pictures of Wilkins and Phillips cuddling, tickets for the events they allegedly attended together (including the Obama Inauguration), and numerous cards from him saying things like “You’re the only woman for me!” (That was a Valentine’s Day card).

But Gawker started sniffing around and, through tips, had multiple sources tell them that Wilkins is allegedly Phillips’ angry mistress, with whom he has carried on an eight-year affair. Phillips allegedly has either a wife or ex-wife named Karen Phillips, who is the mother of his tween son and with whom he has attended hoity-toity New York City events as recently as this December.

Gawker got in touch with the website’s designer, Bela Kovács, who confirmed that Wilkins hired him to create the site — only he thought the gesture was so sweet that Wilkins must have been Philips’ wife. “My understanding was that the site was for a gift to Charles, that’s what I was told,” Kovács told Gawker. “She was ecstatic when it finally launched and the whole thing was done.”

Yeah, I’ll bet she was.

My, oh, my. What has happened to the days when mistresses were discreet, hmm? First Rielle Hunter gets knocked up with John Edwards’ kid. Then Brooke Hundley stalks ESPN’s Steve Phillips’ teenaged son online. And now this!

Married men, when will you learn to just keep it in your pants?
