Tax haters
…perhaps some of her daddy’s tax money should be spent making her better educated about the role of taxes in a DEMOCRACY. I’m so annoyed about this anti-tax rhetoric. Here she is at a town hall being held at a STATE University and she’s complaining about taxes. Who funds public universities, Missy? And I’m... »
Meltdowns
The U.S. economy is melting down. John McCain’s campaign is melting down. One is a crisis. The other is gift to the American electorate. And, so Bush, Paulson and company rush in to try to save both–the economy and McCain’s campaign. But, thankfully, it looks like the voters aren’t buying it. They are rising... »

Republicans hate everything, especially taxes
Republicans also hate TAXES. OK, so let’s get rid of all taxes and see what happens. How can they keep America safe then? How will the government pay for bridges to nowhere? Or for roads for all those Republican to drive their pickup trucks over? Or those stimulus rebate checks they made such a... »
More babies: GOP might get what it's asking for
Now that Republicans have essentially sanctioned teen pregnancy with their “life happens” explanation of Sarah Palin’s daughter’s “situation,” will we see an explosion of young white girls having babies? Now, that would be a problem, wouldn’t it? The conservative right has just about admitted that their farcical “abstinence-only education” doesn’t really work and teens... »
