Online headline: "Rhode Island Rep. Caught In Lie" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought someone had filed a law suit over a campaign promise....

Online headline/story: "Bill Gates To G20: Financial Transaction Tax Could Raise Aid For Poorer Nations * The Gates report supports the thorny issue of a financial transaction tax as a way of raising "substantial resources" for developing countries. It suggests even a small tax of 10 basis points on equities and 2 basis points on bonds would raise about $48 billion among G20 member states, or $9 billion if only adopted by larger European countries." -- Well, Mr Gates, since the latest Forbes scorecard has you at $59 BILLION, why don't you just alleviate your personal guilt and donate $48 Billion yourself?

L-E story: "ATLANTA -- A review of records shows that a project to add toll lanes to Interstate 85 in metro Atlanta will make traffic congestion worse for drivers in the regular lanes. * State Road and Tollway Authority Director Gena Evans said the toll project will give drivers another option if they’re willing to pay the tolls." -- Sounds like "Animal Farm" coming to fruition. All animals are equal but some are more equal than others. Wanna bet that State Reps and Sens get access as a perk? Hmmm, Gena Evans....wasn't that the one that got removed from the DOT for internal hanky-panky?
Guess monogamy is not enough for her, so she's insatiably going after everyone else.

All those "flat tax advocates for a 20+% consumption tax don't seem to realize that most states already have consumption taxes and not all states are the same. If Congress thinks a 20+% consumption tax will be voluntarily paid and reported by the underground drug economy, then we need a whole new slate of Congresspersons.

Why is it that Conservatives support Israel and Liberals support Palestine, yet the Jewish community overwhelmingly supports the DIM&DUMBERats?

SOLYNDRA executives are now pleading the 5th Amendment to the Congressional inquiry. I have a feeling that pleading the 5th will be the campaign strategy of potUS O'Blather's and every Congressional DIM&DUMBERat candidate in 2012.

L-E headline: "ACLU: Town cannot impose church sentences" -- In short, Bay Minette, AL is planning to start a program giving misdemeanor convicts an option of jail time or attending church for 52 straight Sundays (and having their cases dismissed). The ACLU is going to try and stop it because the ACLU contends the sentencing program "flagrantly" violates the Constitution. Lets see, a local court wants to have a positive alternative to handle cases in a way that doesn't ruin individuals and their families lives, and at the same time reduces the costs of crime to its taxpayers, and the ACLU thinks that's bad? How about the ACLU putting its money where its mouth is and be responsible for the costs of keeping those misdemeanor criminals in jail and picking up the financial burden of the families of such, if the ACLU files a case against the program.
