Opening paragraph briefly (but probably not briefly enough) describing the “intellectual” basis for the posting. Blather. More blather. But I digress. More blather.
Inappropriately placed break that causes confusion. More of the opening paragraph that should have simply been edited out, but now on the other side of the break makes some readers think a different point is being addressed.
First thesis statement consisting of both extremes of the position that would never occur in the real world, but will be quoted later by itself to show what a bastard the Author is in some way. Supporting statement that fleshes out the concept or argument at hand, but possibly uses a term of art or some other snarky comment that, if even addressed, will also be used to show what a bastard the Author is.
Second thesis statement that really should have been positioned first but wasn’t. Supporting statement drawn from Author’s own life experience (but possibly made up to prove a point—who the hell really knows with this guy, anyway?) Segue into question about the larger issues and a diversion into “but what does it all really mean”-type navel gazing. Excessive use of italics.
Bad joke.
Concluding statement and questions that most people haven’t read because they’ve already fired off a comment but it doesn’t matter anyway because it doesn’t really conclude the posting. Open Thread.

@schrodinger’s cat: Assuming this is a real comment, you can probably ignore it for now. It’s probably a physical defect with the screen. Plug the laptop into a monitor, and if the effect is replicated on the monitor, then it’s the graphics chip. If the effect is not replicated on the monitor, then either the laptop screen or the inverter (a circuit board that sits between the graphics chip and the screen, almost always inside the main chassis next to the hinges) is bad.
If it’s the screen itself, you can probably just drive on if you can live with it, but if it’s the inverter, you’ll need to have that replaced. It shouldn’t be too expensive though. Also replacing the screen itself might not be too expensive. Check e-Bay and see what you find.
If the problem does replicate onto the monitor, then you most likely have a graphics chip that is failing, probably secondary to the system board failing due to overheating causing the chip to move in it’s soldered connections. This will eventually necessitate replacement of the mainboard or of the computer itself.
Good luck!

Snark aside, the fact that Paul Ryan said that some 70% of Americans are immoral leeches deserves some front page attention:
“The point is we are reaching a fiscal tipping point. The moral tipping point is even worse. And the moral tipping point is before too long we could become a society that we were never ever intended to be. We could become a society where the net majority of Americans are takers not makers…Today 70 percent of Americans get more benefits from the federal government in dollar value than they pay back in taxes. So you could argue that we’re already past that tipping point.”
