My gosh everything rusted in the '70's. Back then we could relate to Fred Flintstone with daylight coming through the floors of many cars.

PJ, Bush cut taxes for nearly all Americans. Here are the numbers: The Bush tax cut created a new lowest rate, 10% for the first several thousand dollars earned. It also established a slow schedule of incremental tax cuts that would eventually double the child tax credit from $500 to $1,000, adjust brackets so that middle-income couples owed the same tax as comparable singles and cut the top four tax rates (28% to 25%; 31% to 28%; 36% to 33%; and 39.6% to 35%). If the Bush cuts are allowed to expire, we're all getting a tax increase. As for the vote, good for Bunning. 99 weeks of unemployment is ridiculous, particularly when studies show that job hunting activity is significantly higher in the last 30 days of benefits. Lengthy unemployment benefits + Medicaid + food stamps + subsidized housing = disincentive to look for work and substantially increased defecits and higher taxes. Voters would be more likely to support lengthy unemployment benefits if the Government funded it through other spending cuts.

And she's perfect to be cast in a modern day Wizard Of Oz as the wicked witch of the west.

There are merits to naural gas powered vehicles, but yes she did miss the mark.

No problem with Obama as a Marxist. We need more of those threads. Spread the word.

OK. I do understand the racial tendency among some that don't want to speak to police or judges or lawyers. However, it isn't mentioned at all in the post. It is horrible that people would potentially see something and not say a word, not unlike the security guard a couple weeks ago that was caught on film watching one women kick the crap out of another women and doing nothing to stop it. It's just more evidence (like this situation) of how many flimsily principled people there are in this county, most of which are friggin liberals.

Only if you view it through the lense of race would you mention that. Why can't it just be about none of 100 people not coming forward when a single person was shot?

Interesting. That might be enough evidence to declare hetero conservative religious types as handicapped. Liberals I'm sure would approve of entitlement programs for them. Some suggestions would be lower college admission standards and tuition, food and housing subsidies and of course free health care. We could pay for it with a tax based on sexual preference, IQ and religion. Using the ability to pay method, those with higher IQs would pay more. Extra benefits for Catholics.

Hey, I did not express an opinion and I did not participate in the poll. People can draw their own conclusion.

I'd suggest having her followed.

Thanks for posting that link. Ryan is a rising star. In his 6 minutes, he hits his points with numbers and delivers the message of fiscal concern as well as anyone I've seen do that. Obama's body language says to me that he knows Ryan is right and that the numbers don't lie. We need more people in Washington to lay out issues the way Ryan has with numbers and objectivity.

You would think that if a car accelerates on its own, nearly every driver would respond by putting a foot on the brake. I'm not going to defend Toyota, and maybe there will be a safety improvement industry wide that comes from all of this. The majority of US drivers in my opinion don't have a clue what to do in many panic situations and/or don't have the driving skill to deal with it effectively so we have to build more idiot proof cars and the more idiot proof they are, the less skill people will have. Kind of like a government entitement plan. The better the plan is, the more will find themselves getting comfortable in it. As a driving purist I despise anti-lock brakes and traction control, but they have made cars safer for many drivers at the expense of some driving ability of the same people.

I'll give her credit. She gets the Dem lemmings in line to vote for whatever piece of **** she's pushing at the time.

Or Briefs you can change into

We need a new set of liberals on this board. The current crop is worn out.

Congratulations, you've provided the eligibility requirements. Now, what are his qualifications in your mind?

It is scary. He's all about social and economic justice for the unproductive class and this permeates his policies. Like most Dems, he's buying votes with other people's money.

Obama will run on his record, which if he continues as he has for his first year will be lousy. Our defecit says that, his handling of the economy says that and the polls on nearly every major issue say that now. He is proving to be mostly an idealogue, committed to an agenda even in the face of declining public support and economic conditions that strongly suggest another course. He is the equivilant of Dick Jauron. Committed to his approach even if the results suggest he should makes changes in order to get a winning result. There are a lot of parallels between the two. Both nice guys, both intelligent, both put into positions of leadership without a track record of winning, both stubbornly commited to their approach, both with popularity that declined and both appointed people of quesionable ability to important positions. You could easily argue that Jauron was far more qualified to be a head coach in the NFL than Obama is to be President.

I feel fortunate to be in a suburban Chicago area with very good public schools. We're cranking out a lot of great students who are able to attend very good universities along with some great athletes as well. I don't like every aspect of the schoools, but feel that each of my 3 kids are getting a good education. My oldest is off to college next year and there are a lot of good universities here in the midwest. I'm still a person who feels that anyone can achieve a lot in this world even if you don't have the most privilidged upbringing, but it has to come from within the person. College is very much an individual choice and plenty of kids struggle to figure out what they want to study or do as an adult and plenty of them are kids that had very privilidged upbringings. Slackers come in all shapes and sizes and from the entire range of economic backgrounds. I watch many parents create their own slackers by spoon feeding their kids at every turn. A little adversity is good for kids. They need to sink or swim on their own.

I agree with you, but the statements in the other article say otherwise. Self preservation would trump everything else.

She is awesome. Even my wife agrees.

The difference between a good school and a bad school has more to do with who attends the school and the parents of the students than anything else.

It is an amusing column and I'd have to agree that Doug wrote this to get laughs. He couldn't possibly be serious. Might help them increase the paper's circulation by 5-10 copies. He'll get a pat on the back for that.

You are continuing the penis talk with that comment.
