Bush Reported Taxable Income of $719,274 in 2007

From CNN:

President and Mrs. George W. Bush reported taxable income of $719, 274 for the tax year 2007 and paid $221,635 in federal income taxes, the White House said Friday. Vice President Cheney and his wife earned $2,528,068, the White House said, and owe taxes of $602,651.

Had enough? No? Take a look at Bush’s and Cheney’s Tax Returns (1040 PDF).

I know many women who find it safer to conceal their opinions, since women have also been conditioned to be seen and not heard and to be the pretty face next to the strong and powerful husband, which can clearly be seen in any story where a male politician or sports star is discovered in a sex scandal; of course, the woman is always standing by her man with her mouth shut, smiling politely like she is told to. A woman who chooses to speak her mind freely and openly is mostly ridiculed for her blunt honesty by the majority of people who care not to listen based purely on her possession of a vagina.

It seems as if once women set their footprints in the wet concrete of history and start making own choices without having to consult a man before doing so, the men start to get all uppity. You would think that with men feeling the way they apparently do, they would begin to see what women have gone through to get where they stand today and that they would understand and appreciate the activism and determination in which we have fought for our rights and have a better understanding of equal rights. However, men believe that they are deserving of all power in all aspects of life and in society based purely on their possession of a penis.

While you feel completely emasculated, confused and rejected from society, welcome to the lives of women.

The world is now dominated by women, where have I been? (via gauntlet) It really comes down to the type of men you choose to hang out with. While there will be narrow minded people everywhere, it is up to you to be with those who value you and those who don’t feel threatened by a woman who’s more educated and much more intelligent than them. Funnily, I always attract weaker men. They find my strength and courage comforting. On second thoughts, women are much stronger than men mentally!

Soup.io will be discontinued :(

Dear soup.io fans and users,
 
today, we have to share very sad news. Soup.io will stop working in less than 10 days. :(
 
It's breaking our heart and we honestly tried whatever we could to keep the platform up and running. But the high costs and low revenue streams made it impossible to continue with it. We invested a lot of personal time and money to operate the platform, but when it's over, it's over.
 
We are really sorry. Soup.io is part of the internet history and online for one and a half decades.
 
Here are the hard facts:
- In 10 days the platform will stop working.
- Backup your data in this time
- We will not keep backups nor can we recover your data
 
July, 20th, 2020 is the due date.
 
Please, share your thoughts and feelings here.
 
Your Soup.io TEAM

Never judge someone by who he’s (she’s) in love with; judge him by his friends. People fall in love with the most appalling people. Take a cool, appraising glance at his pals.
Cynthia Heimel (via vasta) Oohh! Nice. Now only if we remember this quote the next time we decide to judge someone.

Reading The Stranger by Albert Camus. One of the finest books on absurdism. Next read will be Unaccustomed Earth, provided I get my book by mail.

On Studying

CFA Level II exam is only two months away and I’m already losing sleep over it. Probably most of you don’t even know what CFA is. You must be thinking that I’m mad because I’m getting worried about an exam that is TWO F**King months away. Well…I’ve already been studying for it since the past 8 months. If I don’t clear it on the 7th of June, 2008…then I’ll need to re-take it next year. That means, spending more time with the same books for another year, which is totally not good for my social life. Since the time I’ve enrolled in this program, I don’t remember how many parties I’ve been to, how many times I’ve gotten drunk or done anything without thinking about Fixed Assets, Inventories, Derivatives, Interest Rates…ZzzzZ.

Time to hit my books again. Everybody at Tumblr seems to be in a state of absolute bliss- posting pictures, quotes, links etc. I wish I could do it again.

sunluvr: Yahoo Launches Site Focused on Women

I like when things are female focused. I just hope it doesn’t become just about the “best jeans for your body” or “when is it time to leave him.” That is why Cosmo was invented.

I saw this page around 2 weeks back and found it to be very unimpressive. Unfortunately, it does seem like a page that only focuses on clothes, fashion, beauty and gossip. No mention of technology, finance or good stuff that I care about.

a note from mom

postcardsfromyomomma:

Please email me right away and tell me you are alive.. Thank you.
Mom

Sounds like my mom totally, even though I talk to her, without fail, every single day (almost). And we are continents apart.

On Laziness

sharingtime:

I am too lazy to get up from this chair, walk to the fridge and pour myself a drink.

This is why I need a robot butler.

Unfortunately, I’m that way too. I’m hungry, but I won’t cook anything…because I’m feeling very lazy.

having someone reblog your tumblr post is like getting a gold star from the coolest kid in school…or Jesus..

(via itscastro)

Still trying to figure out what tumblr is all about and I couldn’t help but notice this on the main page. Is this what tumblr is all about?

(via carocat) I don’t think Tumblr is about getting the most number of reblogs or followers or making it any sort of a number game. It totally depends upon your intent and what you plan to do with your tumblelog. I post stuff that I find interesting and if others can find value in it, then great!

The Twitter Graph- I’m in the “This looks interesting” phase. Have been there since Twitter was introduced. (Thanks to carocat)

Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly is to the bone.

Hubert Selby Jr., Requiem for a Dream

This is one of my favorite books, I highly recommend it.

(via sailingonthesea) I like this quote.

Amwelles has made some amazing themes available for download at this website. The bullets theme is my favorite! Please do check them out and thank her! :-)

In-flight WiFi coming soon

“American Airlines’ Boeing 767-200 fleet will be the first to be retrofitted, but the company has been adament that their technology is not limited to any one airline and has future plans to work with Virgin America.”

Yippie! SO looking forward to this =) I can switch off that useless Television sets located at the back of the seat in front of me.
