Stating The Obvious

Which, of course, is necessary with the bozos running this country. Bob Herbert:
They’ve made a hash of a war that never should have been launched. They can’t find bin Laden. They’ve been shocked by the subprime debacle. They’re lost in a maze on health care.
Now, like children who have eaten too much sugar, they are frantically trying to figure out how to put a few dollars into the hands of working people to stimulate an enfeebled economy.
They should stop, take a deep breath and acknowledge the obvious: the way to put money into the hands of working people is to make sure they have access to good jobs at good wages. That has long been known, but it hasn’t been the policy in this country for many years.
Go read it all.
I agree. Screw this few hundred dollar rebate crap. People need jobs. The country needs work done; infrastructure rebuilt, environmental restoration, etc. And given the price tag for Iraq, I don’t want to hear any shit about how we can’t afford it.
Yeah screw the rebates and stop the theft of our hard earned dollars. End the immoral income tax once and for all.
I live in Hillsdale and get this hilarious monthly newsletter from our local conservative college. Thought you would appreciate it. Here is a sample from this months newsletter on how manly Canada has been feminized, a fate the US needs to avoid!
“Canadian history is summed up by the old Monty Python song that goes, “I’m a Lumberjack and I’m OK.” If you recall that song, it begins as a robust paean to the manly virtues of a rugged life in the north woods. But it ends with the lumberjack having gradually morphed into a kind of transvestite pickup who likes to wear high heels and dress in women’s clothing while hanging around in bars. Of course, John O’Sullivan isn’t saying that Canadian men are literally cross-dressers—certainly no more than 35-40 percent of us — but rather that a once manly nation has undergone a remarkable psychological makeover. … in the space of two generations, a bunch of tough hombres were transformed into a thoroughly feminized culture that prioritizes all the secondary impulses of society—welfare entitlements from cradle to grave—over all the primary ones.”
