This guy was told by his Homeowners Association that he couldn’t fly the American flag in his front yard.


I would have done the same.

The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise.

Omg I need to read this.

Edit: So much so that I reblogged it a bunch of times? 0.o

Europe Agrees: Greece Is the Laziest, Most Incompetent Nation in the EU

Greece is the hardest-working country in the EU! According to Greece. And only Greece. 
According to Britain, Germany, Spain, Poland, and the Czech Republic, it’s the laziest country in Europe.
Meanwhile, Germany is the most respected EU country, according to the Pew Global report,European Unity on the Rocks. And Greece appears to be living in a bizarro universe where 78% of its respondents held negative views of Germany. Three in five Greeks said their country had Europe’s hardest working citizens. Half of the rest of the respondents from the other seven nations said Greece had the laziest workforce in Europe.

You Are My Sunshine - Johnny Cash


My mom used to sing this to me. It’s so beautifully clean and effortless. I’ve been listening to it a lot this weekend, not sure why.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are gray

You’ll never know, dear, how much I love you

Please don’t take my sunshine away
