Watch the entire video, it’s 9 minutes of economic and societal truth on so many levels delivered with absolute crystal clarity. Professor Epstein just absolutely hits it out of the park.

And that, my friends, is how the world really works. The egalitarian utopia where everyone is equal and everything is “fair” that Obama, the Democrat party, and the Occupiers constantly say we need cannot and will not work. Ever. Period. End of story. You get chaos. Thousands of years of human history teach us this. Professor Epstein compresses that knowledge into 9 minutes of brilliance.

So I was working on code today with the radio on in the background. During the news break the reporter reported that the IRS requested a few HUNDRED MILLION to hire a ton of new agents to enforce the Obamacare mandate. I thought I had heard the reporter wrong, so I went and Googled “IRS health care”.
I got a bazillion results on the normal search – with several IRS websites as the top results - but when I went and searched news, I got this:

I thought this was really strange. So I decide to try Bing, and what do you know, I got a TON of articles.

Being an engineer, I needed to verify the results I was experiencing. I immediately talked to a couple of friends and had them try the same searches and what do you know, they got the EXACT same results.
Something is up.
This does not just happen.
I am sure Google will say “the algorithm broke down temporarily” but I am not buying it. As a guy who has 30+ years of programming, database administration, and network administration skills under my belt, I find this highly unusual.
When one considers how much cross pollination between the Obama administration and Google, and how the administration uses Google to promote its agenda, things really start to smell funny.
I call shenanigans.
I have, from day one, stated that President Obama is utterly out of sync with the American populous, its values, and its traditions. I think this picture so clearly captures that lack of sync, that it is worthy of a Pulitzer.
Literally everyone around him is doing the wave and there he sits, looking bored, irritated and wistful. As if being at the game is an imposition forced upon him and he’d rather be doing something else. Perhaps golfing yet again? Perhaps another fancy party at the Whitehouse? Perhaps another concert? I suspect anything other than being around the common people and having to endure their silly game. As Dorothy Rabinowitz so aptly put it, we truly do have an alien living in the Whitehouse.
