From Yahoo, “Why is investment income taxed less than wages?”

Uh, because millionaire Congresspeople wanted to get rich?

This stuff isn’t always hard.

Question for Romney

“Do you, sir, Governor, know what the MEDIAN income is in this country, and as a follow up can you define ‘median’ for us just in case?”

I’m thinking reporters just take for granted that he knows the answers to these questions. Me, I’m not so sure.

Shorter Movie Review: The Debt

That Nazi stuff never gets old.

Beautifully done, with first rate acting and a pretty darned intricate plot. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Shorter Movie Review: Friends with Benefits

I can’t ever imagine that much fucking with a carefully draped silky wrap of some kind covering up the naughty bits as even remotely realistic. Plus, the dialogue.

Too bad. I like both principal’s just fine. But the movie is a deserved entry on Air Force One priority into the rental bin of life.

Would Be A Shame To Put Them To Work

So we’re bringing home a whole bunch of disciplined, hungry (literally and figuratively) people from Iraq who are organized and really good at building shit and instead we do this.

Put me down in the “Dusk in America” camp.

OWS Signs I Want To See

Stop the Raping

Class warfare is pitchforks and torches, not a return to Clinton tax-rates.

You people would’ve thought Eisenhower was a hippy.

Wait until one of us gets shot.

Remember Kent State.

Yo, police, we’re on YOUR side.

People in deep shit will come after people like the 1%, history says.

The opposite 1% hopes you die, and soon.

We come in peace for now.

The Tax Code

John O — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 02:19:35 +0000

The Democrats are complete morons for not out-flanking the GOP on tax reform, which in my opinion involves a complete overhaul.

All evil is rooted in the tax code, from offshore tax breaks to infinity.

Late Debate Live Blogging

First one I’ve bothered with.

Rick Santorum is a douche. Ron Paul is consistent, if loony. Rick Perry is an empty suit. Mitt Romney is a professional candidate. Newt Gingrich can suck my dick on all kinds of issues. Michele Bachmann is a lunatic.

Ladies and gentleman, your Republican field.

Free market! Science! (We’re talking about where to dispose of our nuclear waste, the most pressing issue of our times.)

Foreclosure! Santorum: TARP sucked! Perry: Fuck you! Perry: Regulations suck! And I’ll prove it! Santorum: Fuck you! Nice master debating. Romney: The free market rules! Cain: I supported TARP, but Obama screwed the pooch. Get government out of the way! Bachmann: Bargletti blargh blargh blargh…losing nest, husbands suck, woman losing houses, I love women losing houses, Obama is a failure, I’ll go all socialism and we’ll create jobs and nobody will lose their house.

OWS! Cain says it’s all your fault you’re not rich. Paul says don’t blame the victims, and then does. Comes across as a populist.

Ron Paul’s suit doesn’t fit all that well.

[Ed: I hate these people, though not personally.]

I can’t stand it, and I’m out. Sorry about the short live debating, you two readers.

I’ve never watched an episode until quite recently when Comedy Central decided to run it from the beginning. (I think.)

It’s a very funny show, and Alec Baldwin is a very funny guy, but it’s actually difficult for me to get past Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) as an awkward nerdy physically insecure person, probably because Tina Fey is my idea of a totally awesome female human being.
