USA Debt up $1.7B during Isner-Mahut Wimbledon match
Both parties, but Republicans especially, have been talking a lot about the national debt in recent months. Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., managed to use this week's extraordinarily long match at Wimbledon to put that concern into perspective.
Shortly after the 11-hour, five-minute match between American John Isner and Nicolas Mahut, of France, Buchanan posted the following to Twitter: "Think Wimbledon tickets are expensive? Our National Debt has gone up by $1,729,000,000 during the Isner v. Mahut match #USA."
After checking the math, the non-partisan PolitiFact.com says the figure is about right. "His…number strikes us as a reasonable estimate," the group reports here.

Lingo of the Job Market:
If you're in the job market right now you might want to familiarize yourself with the Human Resources Lingo...
"COMPETITIVE SALARY" = We remain competitive by paying less than our competitors.
"JOIN OUR FAST-PACED COMPANY" = We have no time to train you.
"CASUAL WORK ATMOSPHERE" = We don't pay enough to expect that you'll dress up.
"MUST BE DEADLINE-ORIENTED" = You'll be six months behind schedule on your first day.
"SOME OVERTIME REQUIRED" = Some time each night and some time each weekend.
"DUTIES WILL VARY" = Anyone in the office can boss you around.
"MUST HAVE AN EYE FOR DETAIL" = We have no quality control.
"APPLY IN PERSON" = If you're old, fat or ugly you'll be told the position has been filled.
"NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE" = We've filled the job; our call for resumes is just a legal formality.
"SEEKING CANDIDATES WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF EXPERIENCE" = You'll need it to replace three people who just left.
"PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS A MUST" = You're walking into a company in perpetual chaos.
"REQUIRES TEAM LEADERSHIP SKILLS" = You'll have the responsibilities of a manager, without the pay or respect.
"GOOD COMMUNICATION SKILLS" = Management speaks, you listen, figure out what they want, and do it.

Who's your baby's Daddy?
Tell me this is a joke. Please...... . tell me that this is a joke.
Who's your baby's Daddy?
The following are all replies that Detroit women have written on Child Support Agency Forms in the section for listing 'Father's Details,' or putting it another way... Who's your baby's Daddy? These are genuine excerpts from the forms. Be sure to check out #11, it takes 1st prize and #3 is runner up.
1. Regarding the identity of the father of my twins, Makeeshia was fathered by Maclearndon McKinley I am unsure as to the identity of the father of Marlinda, but I believe that she was conceived on the same night.
2... I am unsure, as to the identity of the father of my child as I was being sick out of a window when taken unexpectedly from behind. I can provide you with a list of names of men that I think were at the party if this helps.
3. I do not know the name of the father of my little girl. She was conceived at a party at 3600 East Grand Boulevard where I had sex with a man I met that night. I do remember that the sex was so good that I fainted. If you do manage to track down the father, can you please send me his phone number? Thanks...
4. I don't know the identity of the father of my daughter. He drives a BMW that now has a hole made by my stiletto in one of the door panels. Perhaps you can contact BMW service stations in this area and see if he's had it replaced.
5. I have never had sex with a man. I am still a Virginian. I am awaiting a letter from the Pope confirming that my son's conception was ejaculate and that he is the Saver risen again.
6. I cannot tell you the name of Alleshia's dad as he informs me that to do so would blow his cover and that would have cataclysmic implications for the economy I am torn between doing right by you and right by the country.. Please advise.
7. I do not know who the father of my child was as they all look the same to me.
8. Tyrone Hairston is the father of child A. If you do catch up with him, can you axe him what he did with my AC/DC CDs? Child B who was also borned at the same time..... well, I don't have clue..
9. From the dates it seems that my daughter was conceived at Disney World. Maybe it really is the Magic Kingdom .
10. So much about that night is a blur. The only thing that I remember for sure is Delia Smith did a program about eggs earlier in the evening. If I had stayed in and watched more TV rather than going to the party at 8956 Miller Ave , mine might have remained unfertilized.
11. I am unsure as to the identity of the father of my baby, after all, like when you eat a can of beans you can't be sure which one made you fart.
