Get the sticks-and-bricks mug.Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles (MRAPV or just MRAP). Vehicles used in war to protect soldiers. The new ones cost a million dollars and are vulnerable to EFP's.
Man I thought when I got my MRAPV I would be safe and sound. And then someone comes up with an EFP and blows my poor feet out of my socks. Och!!!

Get the MRAPV mug.A housewife in Baltimore accused Ted Cruz of being a "liar and thief " for stealing credit for her published phrase "Trumper Tantrum", and turning it into Trumpertantrum. One unifying thing about Trump is that he can both ignite and unify the Republican Party in one big brawl.

Get the Trumpertantrum mug.Typically any situation where municipal and traffic violations are strickly enforced and fines are levied. Unfortunately for the poor who cannot afford to pay, the tab gets bigger and violations are compounded for not paying the original fines.

Cash register justice can be a "pay-to-get away with it" kinda thing especially when criminal charges are dropped and expunged by paying fees to the prosecutor in additions to minor stipulations. This may available to all in theory but easily taken care of by the rich, but not easily affordable by the poor.

The Iraq war is an opportunity cost disaster. There are a lot of bad ideas out there but these guys put a lot of thought into making it this bad. I can't think of much worse of an alternative, but I am sure they will, as it is getting worse all the time.
Some people living in this urban sprawl think they are in paradise but this is a total opportunity cost disaster. A hurricane wipes out the crops but sprawl eventually wipes out the farm houses and crop land, covers the best soil, eliminates the ecology and native plants and animals, and put's it in a tomb of concrete and asphalt. You can everywhere but it will cost 10 dollars in gas there is no there there.
