These Yelp reviews are completely blasphemous. What happens at Abortionplex stays at Abortionplex.>> ^longde:

282 hilarious reviews of the Abortionplex on Yelp, e.g.:
5 Stars---The buffet on the mezzanine level is great (avoid the seafood though- they don't replace it often enough) and the gift shop downstairs has cool tchotchkes and stuff (I got a coat hanger license plate frame). And I really like the combo deals- bring a friend and get 1/2 off the 2nd abortion, every third abortion get a free trip to the buffet, etc.
But the Abortionplex Funzone is the best part. Classic 80s arcade games like Joust, Rampage and Tron, all set to play for nickels, plus a row of top-notch skeeball machines. Most places that have skeeball feature machines that are broken or run down, but these are all brand new, and the prizes you can win with game tickets are much better than the plastic junk you usually get at Chucky Cheeze and Peter Pipers. I am definitely having my next birthday party at the Abortionplex! I hope my wife is pregnant again by then.

Man it's just a troll feeding frenzy in here... A veritable buffet

"Taken literally, the top 1 percent of American households had a minimum income of $516,633 in 2010 — a figure that includes wages, government transfers and money from capital gains, dividends and other investment income."


..Well then this 1% thing is bullshit.

The difference between $500k and $250m (romney) is more than 400 times bigger than between a working man's $40k and this so-called 'millionare'.

And of course Romney is small fry begging for the gaudiness of public office compared to the big boys. (And I dont mean Gates & Buffet and 'new money').

Guess it's more like 0.1%. or 0.01% or 0.001%.. Hey we're talking about 30 guys here! We need a list of names!!

I am thought that perhaps he just didn't understand it as a Thanksgiving/Christmas tradition as well, but like you it seemed more like he had no idea what Mac and Cheese was... This goes right up there with the Paris Hilton's Wal-Mart comment... I mean the local grocery store has something like 5 shelves of the stuff... plus the restaurants and everywhere else...
What was odder is the black lady on set with him going "Yeah! It is a black thing!" Then says how she has it once or twice a year... we have it perhaps that much a month... and we're white...

At this point, I honestly didn't think there was anything Pat Robertson could say that would surprise me.
How does anyone reach his age without having experienced macaroni and cheese? It's a staple. Every buffet has it. Nearly every restaurant has it as a side item. Does Pat not ever eat out?
I wondered if perhaps he just didn't understand it as a Thanksgiving\Christmas tradition, but it sounds like he's got no idea.

No. Bill Philips is one of the nicest people I have ever met. Tom Cech is a nice guy. I can name dozens of super famous scientists that I have met that were very nice. Warren Buffet is very nice, according to an acquaintance.

Assholes are not great because they are assholes. Some assholes are great because they happen to be intensely curious and they have a clear vision of how they can change the world.

Based on my experience, it is not a requisite for making a difference in the world.

It is funny. My advisor and I had this discussion after he read the Steve Jobs biography. My wife thinks Steve Jobs was great because he was an asshole. I disagree.

Wow, AC is so bitter. It seems that he's oblivious to the scale of inequity and its exponential growth in recent years. If he would really examine the balance of equality in the "good old days," he would realize that it was much more equitable.

Goods used to be American made and today's globalization has seen manufacturing almost disappear and replaced by outsourcing and child labour. From a purely business standpoint, this makes sense. There is no law against foreign investment, so it's not economical to be patriotic.

And here we are today, with the balance so skewed that it makes sense to pay a few hundred million to buy a senator, republican or a judge. A few years down the road, you'll be paid back by sidestepping that environmental restriction or class-action lawsuit or anything else that might hurt your business.

And if you're an investment banker or bis securities trader, you provide very little to society other than a higher tax rate that you can comfortably afford. But even then, you can weasel your way out of most of that with creative deductions and perfectly legal loopholes. Remember what Warren Buffet said about his cleaning lady? Do you think he was talking out of his ass?

> after the dentist "is this real life"?

I got two questions....

Why am i buffeting through space at seemingly relativistic speeds? and Where are my nuts?

Larry is like the last guardian of the buffet. I appreciate his hard work...

$500,000 house arrest fees? wtf....how about you wikileak your daily expenses assange. Thank god hes under house arrest otherwise what would it cost to keep him afloat? If you havent, you should really look up Julians inner musings on his sexiness and irresistibility...heres a small sample.

"I've always found women caught in a thunderstorm appealing. Perhaps it is a male universal, for without advertising this proclivity a lovely girl I knew, but not well, on discovering within herself lascivious thoughts about me and noticing raindrops outside her windows, stood for a moment fully clothed in her shower before letting the wind and rain buffet her body as she made her tremulous approach to my door and of course I could not turn her away.

"But then, just when one might suspect that men are krill to the baleen of female romantic manipulation, I found myself loving a girl who was a coffee addict. I would make a watery paste of finely ground coffee and surreptitiously smear this around my neck and shoulders before seducing her so she would associate my body with her dopaminergic cravings. But every association relates two objects both ways. She started drinking more and more coffee. Sometimes I looked at her cups of liquid arabicia with envious eyes for if there were four cups then somehow, I was one of them, or a quarter of everyone one of them..."

I don't even want to argue with this logic - it hurts my head to even think of a response to this digital puke. You win the internet, QM! You're a winner!

Warren Buffoon has one gift IMO: predicting the stock market. Otherwise he seems rather oblivious about how economics work. Poor fellow.


>> ^MonkeySpank:
Well QM, my friend.
If we follow your "success" logic, Bill Gates should be the president of the US, and Warren Buffet should be V.P. Are you OK with that?

>> ^quantumushroom:
Yeah, he did a poor job clarifying his personal beliefs, versus beliefs about what government should or shouldn't be allowed to do.
Of course, compared to the Kenyawaiian narcissist, Cain is a genius many times over, with actual business and life experience.

I would be OK with it if Gates had ideas I liked as well as the charisma necessary for the job. To answer your unasked question: wealth does not equal wisdom, nor impart the gift of leadership.
