Odd, but if it is good for only 5 days then you could easily figure this out.

POLITICAL PONDERABLES





^^A6^^

There is nothing "wrong" with being rich. But if your campaign contributions pay for laws that tilt the game in your favor then you have corrupted the system.
^^A7^^


I didn't know who Larry Page was and was surprised by what I found.


(Note his education. Interesting.)

CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL


Pteropods, also known as sea butterflies, are sea snails that swim rather than crawl.
  ^^B1^^

Nope, not eatin' that...


I had no idea that a dog could do that kind of abstract thinking.
^^B2^^

They nailed it...

Combing a horse...


I've groomed many horses and have never seen a tool like that. 
^^B5^^

That first alpha dog has his technique down pat...

Just a large family out for a stroll...
If that doesn't load try this...I was impressed.

"Since the meat is expensive & the south of Iran is hit with locust invasion, Iranians eat locusts!"
I would certainly do that.

You try to do somebody a favor...

And they piss on it every time.

There is a segue in that image. See anything odd?

This Is How the Magnetosphere Shields Earth From the Sun

Each second, 1.5 million tons of solar material shoot off the Sun into space.

 But solar wind can get in near the poles and disrupt satellite, radio & GPS signals.
Nice graphic with poles as a vortex.

PICTURES FROM THE EXCLUSION ZONE


You are in the zone.

Alley of village name's that were lost in the catastrophe, made to look like crosses.


Wild dogs abound...


Bridge of death - everyone who viewed the accident from here, died...or so I'm told.

Think about all the early trial and error before they figured out how to do this effectively. 
^^D10^^

PEOPLE HAVING BAD DAYS

Yeah, she's seen better days. 
^^D11^^

 Don’t twerk and skate.
 Looking at the surface of that sidewalk I would say she has some nasty road burns.
 ^^D12^^

Have you ever wondered how cars end up on roofs and such?

I almost lost control of my Mossberg 500 the first time I fired it.

QUIZ; FOREGOING

Just remember that there are no socialist solutions via the Democrats. They cooperate with billionaires even more than Republicans do. Hillary has 4 mansions and is part of the "1%" :so is Obama. Nobody could be less elitist than they are.

Ralph Henry said...

You need to look up the definition of the 1% and then Obama's worth. They aren't even close.

David said...

So your saying socialism is a Republican solution?

Obama's been gone 4 years and Hillary was an "almost was". How are they relevant now? It's the same as saying " well jimmy carter did this....."

The dog.... not abstract thinking, but was trained to do that.

Puzzle time: forerunner. A person or thing that precedes the coming of someone or something else.

Kranky Old Guy said...

You're wrong Ralph. It really doesn't take that much income or wealth to be in the top 1%.

Definition: The "one percent" is currently referred to as the top 1% of the world population, either by income or by wealth. To be in the 1% of the world population by income, you need to make $32,400. To be in the 1% of the world population by wealth you have to have the net worth of $770,000 or higher.

Obama is clearly part of the 1 percenters; you are too probably.

Re: A10 - or you could say that corporations responded to American consumers wanting ever cheaper and disposable trinkets. Chicken or egg?
