Native American revenge

Karma is a bi&ch.  Through tricks, smallpox, and violence, Native Americans lost everything.  In addition to all the land and bounty, millions of Americans suffer from diabetes (due in part to the proliferation of high fructose maize syrup), lung cancer (tobacco), and billions of dollars are lost at soul-sucking Indian casinos.  Now, Native Americans are getting into the arguably usurious unsecured loan business.  Just check out the 234% rate.  And a $500 "fee" on a $1,000 loan!

Kim Jong Un documentary

This blog is taking the long weekend off.  Here's an hour long documentary for your viewing pleasure.  I have only seen snippets but it looks like the Young One's official ride is an S-class Mercedes.  If you find something interesting, feel free to share it in the comments!
