What were the "Bush Tax Cuts"? Basically, they were a repeal of the "Clinton Tax Increase" plus revocation of "The Death Tax". What's more American than that?

DUMB&DUMBERats are really showing their lack of how an economy works by being upset that taxpayers won't have the government digging deeper into their wallets. This whining idiocy follows Pelosi's statement that "unemployment checks create jobs".

Speaking of Pelosi, wouldn't you like to see her on, "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader"?
---
Speaking of the "Death Tax", it's almost sick that the government actually plans for the 'death tax' contributions in its long range budget plans. On second thought, no, not almost, it IS sick.

Al Sharpton is calling for Rush Limbaugh to be removed from radio. Hmmm, if it weren't for the ''Al Sharptons'', there'd be no need for "the Rush Limbaughs".

From an L-E story: Question asked a 12 year old girl - “Do you think you'd be in more trouble if you told your mother there wasn't any holding down” and that the sexual intercourse was consensual, defense attorney Frank K. Martin asked the girl during the hearing." -- Under what circumstance can a 12 year old 'give sexual consent' under GA law? This is worse than Martin's defense of a client being innocent of 1st Degree because he missed the intended victim and killed someone else!

L-E headline: "Jane Fonda releases workout DVD, wants TV role " -- Yeah, how about a series called "Hot L Hanoi".

From L-E's "soundoff": "Constitutional Rights are our individual rights, not the rights of government. If you really want to be free, you have to show individualism. Rely on government and you become a slave to the state. " -- Can't claim this one, but it sure is 'right on'. Musta been sent in by a fellow BCer.

From the "what's wrong with this picture" department: From L-E story: " The coaches released their All-SEC teams Tuesday, and Alabama has a league-leading 12 selections on the first and second teams. * LSU is second with eight. Arkansas, Georgia and South Carolina have six apiece. SEC champion Auburn has four. * Auburn’s first-team players are offensive tackle Lee Ziemba, center Ryan Pugh, quarterback Cam Newton and defensive tackle Nick Fairley. Auburn doesn’t have any second-team players." -- Reminds me of the 1972 Miami Dolphins...perfect season, and the defense was called "the No-Name Defense" because it was such a team effort the media couldn't just focus on 1 or 2 players.

According to a L-E story: Registration for the Parks and Recreation 2011 youth basketball season are underway. Registration fees are based on "ability to pay" so "proof of household income" is "required". What malarkey! Who on the P&R staff is responsible for authenticating such information, and what will be done to safeguard that info? Either require all participants to pay a set fee, or plan a budget to include such costs so everyone who wants to do so can play.
