Important Stuff -- Or Not: Patriots, Dig Deep!

Patriots, Dig Deep!

Joe Biden (Obama's vice presidential choice? Senator for 36 years? Does it ring a bell?) said yesteday that paying higher taxes is patriotic. Really? Does Joe Biden itemize? If so, he is being unpatriotic. He should just fill out the short form and pay as much taxes as he possibly can.

Meanwhile, Biden routinely gives less to charity in a year than I do in a month.

Patriotic? Not by his very own standard. Human? Not by my standard.

But they have our "best interests" at heart.

Mark said...: I followed the link to the story on Biden's remarks, and found, once again, the Associated Depressed is referencing the Tax Policy Center.

The AP says, "Although Republican John McCain claims that Obama would raise taxes, the independent Tax Policy Center and other groups conclude that four out of five U.S. households would receive tax cuts under Obama's proposals.

I wondered if this is true, so I went to the Tax Policy Center website and read their report. Now, I'm no economic genius, but it looks to me that they have more or less gilded the lily in their assessment.

Anyway, I wrote a post analyzing the report from my uneducated and economic challenged perspective.; 10:32 AM

My question is, do I have enough cats and if not, should I get a boy or girl. If it's a girl, I'll name her Sarah. And I will neither confirm nor deny that it's after the future vice president/president.; 10:36 AM
Tonto said...: I hope you get the cat LR! But will it drive your other cats into depression?

Where is the ad that shows trickle down economics works? I thought that argument was won already.; 10:49 AM
Lone Ranger said...: I am HOPING that both factions will keep to themselves. Kinda like the black kids and the white kids on the school ground.; 11:04 AM
Anonymous said...: Hmmm. Well, I don't think four is too many cats, for one thing. :)

You have two girls already, so another boy would even the score. However, if you really want a Sarah, once they're fixed, I don't think it's much of an issue. I've had cats that loved (or hated) one another with all the combinations. LOL

I'm no help, I know.... :); 11:44 AM

Talking Points

I don't use talking points, I create them.

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
