OTTO TITZLING

According to an inventive history of the undergarment that is now widely believed, Titzling came to invent the item while living in a New York boardinghouse in 1912. One of his neighbors was a buxom opera singer named Swanhilda Olafson, and the structural engineering problems she presented inspired Titzling to create a contraption to uphold this lady's ample bosom. In the early 1930s, a French fellow named Phillip de Brassiere began producing a similar undergarment. Titzling sued, but Brassiere won in court, and that is why today we call a lady's frontal uplifter a brassiere instead of a titzling.

TOO STOOPID TO VOTE

On a Monday morning, the day before the St. Paul election for city council, an individual at our table of eight
mentioned the new voting system by name of Ranked Choice Voting also known as Instant Runoff. There was reply made
by only two of the eight at our table who were bright enough to reconize the meaning of Ranked Choice Voting. It is

CLASS ENVY

Say I take you out for dinner and pick up the tab. Whether I can afford it is irrelevant; you still get the free lunch. So why are liberals so obsessed with the incomes of others? Indeed, for Occupy Wall Street and the Democratic politicians supporting them, raising taxes on the rich remains an article of faith. And it's a convenient theory, if for no other reason than that the well-to-do will always have the "ability" to pay more, at least until you get the last dime.
