The Republican Staff on the Ways and Means Committee put this fact sheet together, I feel it is quite enlightening, and wanted to share it with you.When Chairman Rangel introduced his long-awaited tax legislation yesterday morning, there were certain things he conveniently forgot to mention. Among the things the Democratic Majority doesn’t want you to know about the “Mother of All Tax Hikes”:

1. MARRIAGE PENALTY ON STEROIDS:  The bill imposes a surtax of 4% on single filers with incomes above $150,000 and $200,000 for married couples filing jointly.  After years of fighting efforts to repeal the marriage penalty, the Majority is taking the battle to a new level by putting a massive new marriage penalty into the tax code.

2. KISS YOUR DEDUCTIONS GOODBYE:  The surtax is imposed on adjusted gross income, not taxable income.  That may sound like an arcane difference, but it is an important one.  Now, when filling out your tax return, you add up your income to get your adjusted gross income and then subtract deductions for things like charitable contributions, mortgage interest, state and local taxes, medical expenses, un-reimbursed business expenses, or your standard deduction.  But the surtax is applied to the AGI before you take deductions. So it has the effect of taxing people on items that they can ordinarily deduct. 

3. MAKING THE U.S. A LEADER IN HIGH TAXES:  Combined with the implicit sunset of the lower personal marginal tax rates after 2010, the Democrats’ plan would have the effect of raising the top personal federal marginal income tax rate to more than 44%.  The other 29 OECD countries – essentially other developed nations - have an average personal top marginal tax rate of 35.7%.  In fact, only five OECD countries would have higher top marginal tax rates in 2011 than the U.S. if the Rangel bill is enacted. 

4. SMALL BUSINESS TRIPLE-WHAMMY:  Millions of Americans who own small businesses and who pay taxes on that income on their individual tax returns are going to face a triple-whammy.  First, they will be hit with the 4% surtax on some of their income.  Second, many of them will lose the Section 199 manufacturing deduction that lowers taxes on their business income.  And third, this is happening at the same time as incorporated businesses get an across-the-board rate cut, making it even tougher for these small business engines of job-creation to compete. 

5. FUZZY MATH:  A summary of the Chairman’s bill indicates it repeals the AMT but includes a provision called “Limitation of Benefits” to keep high income individuals from benefiting too much from repeal.  But the Limitation of Benefits RAISES $36 billion more than it would “cost” to repeal the AMT.    So even the alleged tax cut is by any definition a tax hike. 

6. IF A TREE FALLS IN A FOREST…. Like the famous Zen question, “what is the sound of one hand clapping?” the Chairman’s bill forces us to ponder how to give tax cuts to people who don’t pay taxes.  The answer is to have other hard-working Americans pay more taxes so the government can write a bigger check to folks who have no income tax liability.  The Chairman’s bill would spend close to $40 billion over the next decade in various forms of “tax cuts” for (e.g., payments from IRS to) people who don’t pay income taxes.

7. TAXING PHANTOM INCOME:  The bill would require businesses of all sizes and sectors to discontinue the use of an accounting regime for their inventory known as LIFO (Last-in-First-Out).  They would have eight years to pay the taxes resulting from the forced revaluation of their inventory, even though they would have had no economic income.  The income might be phantom, but the $106 billion in taxes that will be paid and the associated impacts on businesses certainly won’t be.

8. CAPITAL LOSSES:  Current law provides a top tax rate on long-term capital gains of 15%.  The surtax, because it is applied to Adjusted Gross Income, has the effect of raising the tax rate on long-term gains by another 4% or more for millions of Americans.  This assault on the jobs and growth-producing 2003 tax cut presages what lies ahead as we approach the sunset of the Bush tax cuts.

9. GETTING A HEAD START ON A RUN IN THE WRONG DIRECTION:  In 2003, Congress lowered the top tax rate on dividends to 15%.  All signals suggest that the Democrats want to let those lower rates expire at the end of 2010, sending the top tax rate on dividends back to the top marginal tax rate, which will be 39.6%.  As a helpful head start, the Chairman’s bill subjects dividends to the surtax, so taxpayers can begin to get accustomed to seeing more of their retirement savings eroded by taxes, setting the stage for the leap to 44% or more after 2010. 

10. THE WRONG CHOICE FOR AMERICAN COMPETITIVENESS:  The Democrats claim this bill is responsive to Treasury Secretary Paulson’s efforts to advance U.S. competitiveness.  But the Secretary never embraced a proposal to delay the ability of businesses to take deductions for legitimate business expenses.  Despite the Majority’s rhetoric to the contrary, this bill will make it much harder for American companies to compete abroad.

Story Link

The human race will one day split into two separate species, an attractive, intelligent ruling elite and an underclass of dim-witted, ugly goblin-like creatures, according to a top scientist.

100,000 years into the future, sexual selection could mean that two distinct breeds of human will have developed.

The alarming prediction comes from evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry from the London School of Economics, who says that the human race will have reached its physical peak by the year 3000.

These humans will be between 6ft and 7ft tall and they will live up to 120 years.

“Physical features will be driven by indicators of health, youth and fertility that men and women have evolved to look for in potential mates,” says the report, which suggests that advances in cosmetic surgery and other body modifying techniques will effectively homogenise our appearance.

Men will have symmetrical facial features, deeper voices and bigger penises, according to Curry in a report commissioned for men’s satellite TV channel Bravo.

Women will all have glossy hair, smooth hairless skin, large eyes and pert breasts, according to Curry.

Racial differences will be a thing of the past as interbreeding produces a single coffee-coloured skin tone.

The future for our descendants isn’t all long life, perfect bodies and chiselled features, however.

While humans will reach their peak in 1000 years’ time, 10,000 years later our reliance on technology will have begun to dramatically change our appearance.

Medicine will weaken our immune system and we will begin to appear more child-like.

Dr Curry said: “The report suggests that the future of man will be a story of the good, the bad and the ugly.

“While science and technology have the potential to create an ideal habitat for humanity over the next millennium, there is the possibility of a monumental genetic hangover over the subsequent millennia due to an over-reliance on technology reducing our natural capacity to resist disease, or our evolved ability to get along with each other.

“After that, things could get ugly, with the possible emergence of genetic ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’.”

Dr Curry’s theory may strike a chord with readers who have read H G Wells’ classic novel The Time Machine, in particular his descriptions of the Eloi and the Morlock races.

In the 1895 book, the human race has evolved into two distinct species, the highly intelligent and wealthy Eloi and the frightening, animalistic Morlock who are destined to work underground to keep the Eloi happy.

Yes, Misty, I’ve seen it’s still funny!

Feeling kinda lazy today, it’s been a long week. I thought for a good laugh I would troll the liberal blog world to see what they are talkin about. Not much, really.
Here are a few examples, no commentary necessary. However, I did crack up at the dude praising that nut Rangel and his economy killing tax scheme.
I never thought I would actually read a blog where someone would actually spell out for all to see praise for a tax pimp lunatic.
Also, please make sure you watch the You Tube clip below and pass it to other right leaning blogs. Folks will get a kick out of it.

From the blog Calitics: John Edwards will be our First Green President

President Bush plans to play the part of the hero by visiting California, now ravaged by fire. But on this issue he’s the villain — it’s two years after Hurricane Katrina and the only progress he’s made is actually acknowledging that global warming exists. If we’re going to avoid tragedies like this in the future, we must take the long-term view. On this point, the science is clear: global warming has already led to increased wildfire activity in the U.S., and if we don’t dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the near future, the problem is going to get much worse. Friends of the EarthMore than ever, we need a president committed to making real and deep change in how we treat the planet. 

 “After 7 years of George Bush - the worst, most destructive environmental president in modern history - it is definitely time for change, and that change starts by electing John Edwards as President.”

From the blog, Left in Alabama: SCHIP - Alabama Republicans still oppose health care for kids

Robert Aderholt, whose name led all the rest, voted against a new State Children’s Health Insurance Program reauthorization bill today. He was followed closely by the rest of Alabama’s Republican Congressmen: Spencer Bachus, Jo Bonner, Terry Everett and Mike Rogers. Naturally, they were acting as rubber stamps for George Bush — again! Empty out Fort Knox to pay for foreign wars, but not a penny to spare for America’s children. Go figure. Better yet, go vote — against these turkeys — on Nov. 3rd, 2008.I’ll say it again: Democrats should be lined up three deep to run against these guys next year. And Everett is retiring, so the 2nd District race is even more attractive.

From the blog McBlogger: Rangel’s tax bill : EXCELLENT WORK

FINALLY, the Democrats roll out a great tax bill that fixes the AMT, closes corporate loopholes (while dropping corporate rates a little to keep job growth good) and fairly distributes the tax burden by cutting taxes on the middle class and raising them on the rich and super rich.

Under the plan unveiled today, tax burdens would be altered through an array of changes affecting ordinary households and businesses. Some of the highlights:

* Eliminate the Alternative Minimum Tax. This proposal is intended to prevent the AMT from hitting 23 million households this year. The AMT was imposed in the late 1960s to make sure that the wealthiest Americans paid at least some tax, but it has applied to a growing number of households because it is not indexed for inflation. Given the difficulty of passing his overall plan, Rangel plans to move forward with a short-term bill to defuse the AMT for this year.

* Impose a surcharge on higher-income people. The most affluent taxpayers, earning at least $200,000 for couples filing joint returns, would face a new surcharge of 4%, moving up to 4.6% for those earning over $500,000.

* Reduce the corporate income tax. The top rate for the corporate income tax would fall from 35% to 30.5%, a move supported by the Bush administration to enhance U.S. competitiveness. At the same time, the plan would seek to end a range of provisions that Rangel views as loopholes.

* Ease burdens for working families. To accomplish this, the plan would increase the standard deduction, make the Earned Income Tax Credit for the working poor more generous, and increase the amount of the refundable child tax credit.

* Increase taxes for managers of private-equity funds, the investment pools that often buy publicly traded companies and take them private. Executives of these funds have claimed earnings at a 15% capital gains tax rate, rather than the 35% they might otherwise pay for ordinary income. Rangel said today that such favorable treatment was not justified.

Stick with this plan, Democrats. Across the board. No one listens to the Republicans tax policies. Why? Because they are all geared toward income stratification (concentrating money with the richest Americans). Further, we have got to start paying the debt and reining in future deficits which are about to balloon back up because of the Bush tax cuts. It’s the only way to secure the long term future of the United States.

Now we’ll be able to talk about infrastructure improvements and securing entitlement programs, two things that’ll help the economy and business more than a tax cut.

Fantastic job, Congressman Rangel!

Memo: McCrery on “Mother of All Tax Hikes”

From the blog: Medina County Democratic Action Committee -  Why Republicans Don’t Like the Clintons

So why do Republicans hate the Clintons beyond rational thought? Well, no matter what they tell you, its not because of corruption, or because of her personality, or his sexual indiscretions, or the fact that she stay married to Bill. It’s none of that. It’s because they can win and what policies they advocate.

While Democrats in the netroots castigate Clinton for voting for the Iraq War or for not being sufficiently liberal, conservatives are afraid of her for a much more basic reason: she’ll help those who conservatives don’t want helped.

This if from an article by Ron Fournier of the Associated Press on how much conservatives can’t stand HRC:

“Most of the people who haven’t voted — women, the poor — are going to put Hillary Clinton in office,” said Rick Morris, 60, while leaning on his white pickup truck outside the Waffle House, “and I’m just hoping that won’t be the case.”

This guy is typical of a lot of conservatives. They don’t want those they consider unworthy running their government. In this guy’s case it is women and poor people. Can you imagine it? A country actually led by a woman? Why, this guy might just have a stroke or a heart attack.

Every so often Democrats are reminded why we are Democrats and not Republicans. We don’t think that the poor and women, as well as others such as Blacks, Gays, Latinos, and working class folk are somehow unworthy or not as good as we are and conservatives do. It really is that simple.

From Wizbang

One of the snottiest demands from high-profile Leftists, is that we on the Right may not question or challenge their Patriotism. Frankly, any reasonable look at some of the statements and behavior on the part of Leftist leaders, demands just such a criticism.I have to start with a recent, and fairly stupid, example: Senator Barack Obama. The new reported a little while back that Obama was not wearing a flag pin of the United States. Frankly, in itself that’s a pretty dinky deal, hardly the stuff of great debate. But Obama, never one to defuse a ticking time bomb when he can play with it, turned it into a serious issue by saying,” as we’re talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security.”

Nice double-shot. Parents who wear a flag pin to keep their kids in mind who are serving are “substitute” patriots, while arrogant cynics who attack the troops’ mission for their own political gain are the “real ” patriots.

I defy that, and am frankly appalled that anyone who wants the job to direct where and when troops are deployed could make such a statement. Of course, this is a man who doesn’t put his hand over his heart when the National Anthem is played; he holds his hands over his crotch.

But Obama is an easy target, an inexperienced con man who has not yet learned to hide his true allegiance in double-talk.

From Moonbattery, AYFKM!!!!!!!

In some aspects, the depraved antireligion known as liberalism crudely mimics real religions. For example, it has saints, who leave behind sacred relics. Ranking high among liberal saints is Che Guevara, a vicious psychopathic killer who found his true calling as a communist dictator’s chief executioner.Since Guevara’s evil life qualifies him as a moonbat saint, anything he left behind is a sacred relic to progressives. That’s why bidding starts at $100,000 for a three-inch lock of hair alleged to be the dead murderer’s.

To some leftists, Guevara is so sacred that they consider it a sacrilege to profit from his death. The Dallas-based auction house Heritage Auction Galleries has called upon extra security in light of the menacing remarks of moonbat bloggers.

Imagine an actual religion developing out of reverence for the deranged mentality of a brutal maniac. But I’m forgetting, we already have one.

Do you think that the white folks in the photos should “apologize”?

From the New York Daily News

The Nobel Prize-winning scientist who sparked a furor by suggesting blacks are less intelligent announced today that he will be retiring from the Long Island lab where he worked for more than 40 years.”Closer now to 80 than 79, the passing on of my remaining vestiges of leadership is more than overdue,” James D. Watson said in announcing his retirement from the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.”The circumstances in which this transfer is occurring, however, are not those which I could ever have anticipated or desired,” he said.

Watson shared the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1962 with Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins for discovering the double-helix structure of DNA.

Watson became the center of a firestorm when, in London to promote a book, he gave an interview suggesting Africans are less intelligent.

He told the Sunday Times of London magazine that he was “inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa” because “all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours - whereas all the testing says not really.”

Watson added that while he hopes everyone is equal, “people who have to deal with black employees find this is not true.”

The prestigious lab’s board of directors suspended Watson last week after his comments were made public.

Watson apologized publicly for his remarks.

To all those who have drawn the inference from my words that Africa, as a continent, is somehow genetically inferior, I can only apologize unreservedly,” he said. “That is not what I meant.

“More importantly from my point of view, there is no scientific basis for such a belief.”

The lab’s board said it respected Watson’s decision to retire.

Quickly find another web site, insensitive Negro remarks to follow:

I’m sorry folks but I’m a cynical bastard as y’all know, but why did dude apologize?

If he thought that black folks were inherently inferior and he is this long standing award wining scientist then he must have had some scientific basis for him acknowledging such nonsense.

Why it is such a shock when old white people even in this era of political correctness blurt out their true feelings about this evolving environment of racial inclusion and this melting pot which is a far cry from the racially segregated utopia they grew up in.

The majority of old white people still think black folks are beneath them and wish we would pack up our spears and shields and head back across the pond to the “mother land.”
Hell there was this old white dude on Oprah not too long ago during a Jena 6 debate,  saying basically that there should be two America’s one white one black. Yes I know this is retarded, but hey who am I to explain the “superior” white mind.

People should not be brow beat into apologizing for airing their true feelings.
You are entitled to your opinion, even racially insensitive ones!

But white folks don’t need to risk their careers and be subject to ridicule and scorn because we black folks have “Niggadar” kinda like a radar, or Gaydar.
Many times upon our initial greeting with your average white person, we know what is being processed in that superior white brain, from the deer in the headlights look, the reluctance of the pending handshake or the girlie handshake to the stepford wives smile.
So your disdain can be registered without having to blurt out any racist diatribe therefore avoiding any needless apologies.

Fred released his Border Security and Immigration Reform Plan.

I’ll copy the highlights I posted on the Fred File:

• No Amnesty. Amnesty undermines U.S. law and policy, rewards bad behavior, and is unfair to the millions of immigrants who follow the law and are awaiting legal entry into the United States.
• Attrition through Enforcement. Adding “at least 25,000 agents” to the Border Patrol and doubling the number of ICE agents.
• Enforce Existing Federal Laws. Rejecting sanctuary cities by cutting federal discretionary funds to states and local governments that ignore existing immigration laws.
• Reduce the Jobs Incentive. Require U.S. employers to use the E-Verify system to determine if a person can legally work here.
• Bolster Border Security. Finish building the wall along our border.
• Increased Prosecution. Go after coyotes, alien gang members, and criminals.
• Rigorous Entry/Exit Tracking.

UPDATE: I also wrote this post on the difference between Fred and Rudy Giuliani on this issue.

Have you been wondering what’s happening with the Columbia University noose incident? Me, too. I missed the New York Sun’s report earlier this week about an unjustly accused professor whom the school failed to support even after she had been cleared of any wrongdoing.You probably missed it, too.

Columbia University is issuing a belated defense of a professor who earlier this month was falsely accused of hanging a noose on a colleague’s door.For weeks, the university has been silent as a tenured professor of psychology and education at the Teachers College, Suniya Luthar, has been portrayed in press reports as a rival professor driven by a personal grudge over a book credit to intimidate a colleague, Madonna Constantine, by hanging a noose from her office door.

The president of Teachers College, Susan Fuhrman, said on Friday that in an effort to protect her privacy, the school had failed to offer Ms. Luthar the “public support she deserved.” Ms. Luthar is “one of the most decent human beings we know,” Ms. Fuhrman said during a speech on the state of Teachers College. “Professor Luthar is an eminent and cherished member of our faculty and deserves the embrace and support of this community.” Reached at her home yesterday, Ms. Luthar said she did not want to “fan the flames” by discussing her reaction. She did say the belated response from Columbia made her wonder “what took them so long.”

This is a big “what if,” and definitely thinking out loud. But let’s approach this question by first acknowledging the things we do know:

1) Al-Qaida has expressed a desire to attack Los Angeles

2) Al-Qaida’s attempts to attack L.A. thus far have been thwarted, including the millennium bomber caught at the Canadian border and the foiled plot to fly a plane into the U.S. Bank Tower downtown

Now, in 2003 an al-Qaida operative in custody reportedly told officials that the terrorist group had tossed around the idea of starting wildland fires in Western states, and the FBI alerted agencies about such potential plots:

“The (Arizona) Republic reported that the detainee, who was not identified, said the plan involved three or four people setting wildfires using timed devices in Colorado, Montana, Utah and Wyoming that would detonate in forests and grasslands after the operatives had left the country.

The memo noted that investigators couldn’t determine whether the detainee was telling the truth.”

Mrs. Snoop will be happy, I buy a lot of shoes. She says I have WAY more than the average guy. I of course disagree. I believe that rotating your shoes saves your feet from getting funky. Sorry off track….the shoe tax…

(American Apparel & Footware Assn. commentary) USA : AAFA urges Congress to end the shoe tax:Fashion fads come and go every year, but the shoe tax has persisted for more than 75 years. U.S. Representatives Joseph Crowley (D-NY), Kevin Brady (R-TX) and Nancy Boyda (D-KS), along with 35 original co-sponsors, officially introduced the Affordable Footwear Act of 2007 (H.R. 3934) to roll back the outdated tax.

This common-sense tax relief legislation eliminates the import tariffs, collectively known as the shoe tax, on all lower- to moderately-priced footwear as well as all children’s shoes, or about 60 percent of all shoes sold in the United States.

 “The Affordable Footwear Act of 2007 is genuine tax relief for all consumers,” said Kevin M. Burke, president & CEO of the American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA). “Our association has been working hand-in-hand with members of Congress and the entire U.S. footwear industry to abolish the shoe tax.” The depression-era shoe tax was implemented to protect the domestic footwear industry. Today, with 99 percent of all footwear sold in America being imported, the shoe tax has not only out-lived its purpose but is also unavoidable.

This was just a misunderstanding….

San Diego: Link

Six undocumented Mexican immigrants were arrested today by U.S. Border Patrol agents at Qualcomm Stadium, after a report that they were stealing food and water meant for evacuees, according to spokesman Damon Foreman.

San Diego police responded to a call about alleged theft from the evacuation center and encountered six people in a van who didn’t speak English and didn’t have California driver’s licenses, Foreman said. The police officers called the Border Patrol, who arrived at the stadium and made the arrests, he said. Foreman said the immigrants admitted they were Mexican citizens and that they were stealing.

Border Patrol agents are not looking for illegal immigrants at the center but will continue responding to police calls for assistance.

“We are not in any means at Qualcomm for enforcement capacity,” he said. “We are not there to take advantage of a situation.”

Foreman said the agents have been helping in the evacuation and rescue effort in addition to carrying out their main duties.

“We are dedicated to our primary mission to securing our borders,” he said.

Is that the bottom eventually arrives:

A radical plan to improve the nation’s health - including a workplace “exercise hour” - has been unveiled by a leading Government adviser.New figures today show England is the fattest country in the EU. Now Professor Julian Le Grand, chairman of Health England, hopes to encourage people to improve their diets, give up smoking and exercise more.

He proposed the introduction of a smoking permit, which smokers would be required to show each time they bought tobacco. It is then their choice to go smoke free and not buy a permit.

Companies with more than 500 staff would have an ” exercise hour”. Employees would have to deliberately choose not to join in…

Not join in for now, they mean. It’s easy to say that this is just England. And it’s easy to note (as the article does) that this is still the opposite of current government policy. But the problem remains that it is still obscenely logical. And if it follows from the premise, it will eventually arrive.

From Sister Toldjah.

An example of “Professional Journalistic Filter”, I’m gonna be using this phrase for a few days, LOL!

By now we are all familiar with the mainstream media’s penchant for sloppy, sometimes non-existent factchecking, in addition to their exaggerations and lies (some of them deliberate), which all lead to news reports that - instead of informing the people as they are supposed to, grossly misinform the reader which, in turn, leads to mininformation being spread across the country (and world) as “fact” - and at that point, a popular myth is born, a myth that rarely gets revisited by the very journalists who aided in creating it in the first place. And even in the rare cases they do revisit, it’s usually too late. The damage has already been done.This lack of standard has once again been exemplified by the Jena 6 case, a racially-charged case that has the usual suspects parading before the cameras demanding “justice” and blaming the white man for all the ills of the world, and so on. Craig Franklin of the Christian Science Monitor busts many of the myths that have been presumed by the public to be “facts” on the Jena 6 case. He writes:

The real story of Jena and the Jena 6 is quite different from what the national media presented. It’s time to set the record straight.Myth 1: The Whites-Only Tree. There has never been a “whites-only” tree at Jena High School. Students of all races sat underneath this tree. When a student asked during an assembly at the start of school last year if anyone could sit under the tree, it evoked laughter from everyone present – blacks and whites. As reported by students in the assembly, the question was asked to make a joke and to drag out the assembly and avoid class.

Myth 2: Nooses a Signal to Black Students. An investigation by school officials, police, and an FBI agent revealed the true motivation behind the placing of two nooses in the tree the day after the assembly. According to the expulsion committee, the crudely constructed nooses were not aimed at black students. Instead, they were understood to be a prank by three white students aimed at their fellow white friends, members of the school rodeo team. (The students apparently got the idea from watching episodes of “Lonesome Dove.”) The committee further concluded that the three young teens had no knowledge that nooses symbolize the terrible legacy of the lynchings of countless blacks in American history. When informed of this history by school officials, they became visibly remorseful because they had many black friends. Another myth concerns their punishment, which was not a three-day suspension, but rather nine days at an alternative facility followed by two weeks of in-school suspension, Saturday detentions, attendance at Discipline Court, and evaluation by licensed mental-health professionals. The students who hung the nooses have not publicly come forward to give their version of events.

From Moonbattery, Yes, the obligatory “ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME,” applies again!

If there’s one thing all moonbats should agree on, it’s that degeneracy ought to be inclusive. That’s why the Beeb recently ran a piece on the benefits of prostitution for the disabled, in which it frets that “many disabled people in the UK face sexual exclusion.” We’re told the inspiring story of Asta Philpot, who can barely move his limbs due to arthrogryposis:

Last year, he chose to lose his virginity in a licensed Spanish brothel. This year he took two other disabled men on a bus trip to the same brothel, filmed by BBC’s One Life.

Tasteless reality show programming is bad enough, but when taxpayers are forced to finance it, it’s time to rebel.

Yet some taxpayers are forced to pay for even worse than tacky garbage on TV:

[I]n the Netherlands […] a voluntary group provides just such a service [prostitution] for disabled people. Most clients pay for it themselves but some local authorities subsidise the service.

The Beeb claims that indulging in mutual self-degradation with a prostitute gave Asta Philpot confidence. However, Nick Wallis, who has muscular dystrophy and was fixed up with a whore by a church-run hospice in Oxford, unsurprisingly reports that the experience “was not emotionally fulfilling.”

Excuse this quick rant; I wish to God I had the writing skills to properly articulate my disdain for liberal journalists.

I have had the opportunity to meet some of the most prominent journalists and authors in the country. 

Many are journalists you have read countless times, many are featured on the top political talk show on TV, more are regular columnists for fishwraps like the WaPo, Chicago Sun-Times, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, some are Pulitzer Prize winners, all are seasoned celebrated journalists.  

Unfortunately most are pompous self absorbed egomaniacs who believe that they themselves are as much a part of history as the events on which they are reporting.
While I’m at it, I have met a cadre of “political” insiders who, just like the journalists, believe that they are as much a part of history as the politicians for whom they work. You can see it in their demeanor. They are snobs and elitists, more ego than common sense and unfortunately in love with their own voices more than any topic they are discussing who believe they know all the answers. That is a dangerous thing in a human being!

Back to the journalists.

I recently heard again the phrase “Professional Journalistic Filter” from a well known celebrated journalist and I thought to myself “how many fucken times have I heard that before?” People, I swear to you, every single journalist I have recently come across has uttered the same exact phrase.

In every instance they were referring to the advent of blogging and they all said the same thing about blogging; They think that most of what you read on blogs is rumor, uncorroborated, devoid of facts, and lacking any of that prized “professional journalistic filter.”

Now you are probably already ahead of me. This phrase is simply code for “liberal filter.”

I’m sorry for repeating, but I need to. I thank God I’m not a liberal. I thank God that I learned to think for myself and look at both sides of arguments. I was taught to do this through careful observation, ever since I was a little boy. I watched the news with my dad, who would then discuss world affairs with me. I have much older brothers who clued me in on the world around me. I grew up in the Bay Area and actually met and shadowed (as they worked) the likes of Pete Stark, Ron Dellums, Jerry Brown, Willie Brown and other Bay Area liberal
luminaries. So you see, I was not brain washed. I was taught to think for myself!

I’m not a wacko crazy conservative dude who just pulled conservative viewpoints out of my ass. I took the time growing up, to examine, assess and questioning the world around me. I am no different politically today than when I was at age 18, 20, or 30.

As an example of why it is important to get information from more then one source, I would like to note the absence of any main stream media mention of Hillary’s college paper showing us, in advance, what we can expect if she becomes President. We can learn more about Hillary’s world vision by reading the paper she wrote while in college, and we can see something liberal media does not want us to know, she will prove to be no different then as she is now; a closet socialist. She has the power, the money and the drive to ignore the philandering antics of her husband in order to seek her destiny. But anyone who wants to know what she is all about should read her college paper and see a world painted with her brush, on her terms. You will not be reading that paper from any main stream media source using the “professional journalist filter.” Not because the paper isn’t interesting reading, I can assure you. But because those using this filter do NOT want the American public to have all available information about this woman. So, if you want to read her paper, check out this link (available courtesy of blogging).

But back to the proponent’s of “professional journalistic filters” …. Call me biased, but bloggers on the right, don’t have to distort, don’t have to make up stories, or start rumors to make their point about the goings on in the bizzaro liberal Democrat world. All they need to do is report the rest of the story, and let their readers reach their own conclusions!

I have said I’m more of an aggregator; I read and learn from my blog excursions then by any other method. Virtually none of what you read on many of the top blogs from right leaning folks is going to appear after it is filtered by the so-called “professional journalists” controlling main stream media. Read “Captain’s Quarters,” “Volka Pundit,” “Gateway Pundit,” “Michelle Malkin” “Sister Toldjah,” “Jeremayakovka,” “Wizbang, or “Right Wing News” and tell me where else would you find most of the stories found there if right wing blogs ceased to exist OR “Professional Journalistic Filters” were imposed? Certainly not on ABC, NBC, MSN, or CBS. Certainly not from the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, or Washington Post.

I thank God the days of the journalistic monopoly are fading fast. I know that I am preaching to the choir by saying this, but bloggers on the right know damn well that they must remain credible, work to keep their facts straight, be more detailed and transparent, work a little harder, and write a little better. And people who want to know the whole story realize that in order get all the information on the political arguments or stories,
they must read these blogs!

Again, I wish I had the skills to be more original in reporting what is going on and to expose liberal nonsense, but there are more than enough good right wing blogs out there that get the job done. I don’t know what blogs these other “journalists” who want filters are reading, (I suspect they don’t read any) but the next time I hear the phrase “Professional Journalistic Filters” I shall just simply smile on the behalf of crazy right wing bloggers everywhere, content to know that not every individual in America wants to blindly listen to (and know) half of every story! Long live free speech. Long live bloggers!

I have been telling you this for a bunch of — well, Karl Rove told us this in August when he came on this program. Hillary Clinton may be the Democrat Party’s 2008 presidential front-runner, but she’s also topping the list when the voters are asked for whom they would never, ever, cast a ballot. Get this number: 50% of US voters say that when it comes to Clinton she can campaign all she likes, there is no way in the world she can win their support. Her negative rating up slightly from 46% in March, 59% of those over 65 say they would never, ever, vote for Clinton, according to the survey, which ranked leading Democratic and Republican presidential hopefuls. Nobody gets elected with those negatives. When half the country, half the voters in the country by polling data say they’re not going to vote for you, then what you need is a third party. You need to get hold of the Republican evangelicals and offer ‘em something, offer up a third-party candidate or call Ross Perot or do something.

 Half of US Voters Say Never to Hillary: Poll

AYFKM!!! What the hell I just abbreviated it!

USA Today On Deadline catches the Bureau’s Willie Hulon admitting to the Senate Intelligence Committee that only a third of the Agency’s desks have computers that can access the Internet.   ”Another third of the FBI’s workforce is due to receive them within the next year,” allegedly.

Found the post below on the website Media Take Out

Remember Al Roker’s ranting about Imus when he says the following:

I, for one, am really tired of the diatribes, the “humor” at others’ expense, the cruelty that passes for “funny”.

Well apparently when he was at a social function with his white homies he finds the use of the word Nigger funny.

Well I do too, sometimes, like here for example but, when I have seen examples of white folks using the word it’s not that funny, mostly because when they use it, it’s forced, they love to hear the “er” bolt from the gut during the routine like they are exercising some demons.

Now my point for posting this is to show the lengths some black rednecks will go to sacrifice personal integrity so that they can be viewed by their whitey Hollywood liberal type friends as “one of the cool darkies.”

Now I’m not saying that Nigger can’t be used in a comedy routine, however I have yet to find a single white comedian using the word that pulled it off well enough for me to find it funny.

So was Roker’s laughter genuine, or was he just showing his white homies, that “he is down” and not an uptight Nigger.

Today Show host Al Roker was one of the first public figures to call for Don Imus to be fired for his racially insensitive comments. He’s also been outspoken critic of hip hop artists who use the N Word. But MediaTakeOut.com has learned that privately Al Roker is a lot more accepting of racially insensitive remarks - especially when the people making them are his friends.On Friday, the Friar’s Club in New York City sponsored a roast of comedian Pat Cooper - with Al Roker a guest of honor. And during the roast, MediaTakeOut.com spies were shocked when comedians began openly used the N word.

But there’s more. Not only did Al, who sat on the head table during the roast, condone his pals’ use the N Word - he actually enjoyed it. According to an attendee at Friday’s roast, Al Roker laughed uncontrollably when the comedians used the dreaded word. The witness told MediaTakeout.com, “[Comedians] Gilbert Gotfried, Pat Cooper, and Lisa Lampenella repeatedly used the N word … and every time they did, Al Roker seemed to laugh harder and harder.”

And another attendee was equally disgusted with Al Roker’s blatant hypocrisy. That onlooker told MediaTakeOut.com, “White [comedians] were using the dreaded ‘N word’ and [Al] just sat there and laughed. He showed his true character.”

Developing….

I found another website that had the following:

They went to the Pat Cooper roast at the Friar’s Club Friday. Their job was to just sit there, eat, and lower the average age of people in the room. It was a big room, about 1400 people, a much older crowd who didn’t really know anything about O&A. Jimmy did well. Lisa Lampanelli was the host, she was brutal and tremendous. Jeffrey Ross was great except for something he did with a song. One female comic did about 12 minutes without a single laugh. Artie Lange took a few shots at O&A but no one in the room got what he was talking about. Artie is getting so fat, he needs help. Opie is especially worried about him and says that Artie looks worse than when Cartman got fatter on South Park (”Beef cake!”). They wonder if Richard Belzer might have been on something. O&A entered the room following a slow-moving old guy from Sgt Bilko whom they thought could have died on the spot. Jimmy wants to join the Club now because there is no political correctness at all there. Al Roker is a member and he is a huge hypocrite because he laughed at every time the N word was used and it was used a lot of times by a lot of people.

Shame on you weatherman!!!

Ah I knew it was coming, well it’s not like you need a masters degree to decipher liberal logic. Right Wing News has the following:The Daily Kos Post Of The Day: George Bush Is Responsible For The California Wildfires.

I think everybody should read liberal blogs, it’s good medicine. I read that laughing increases your longevity:

Laughing reduces stress hormones like adrenaline (epinephrine) and cortisol. It also benefits your immune system by increasing the number and activity of Natural Killer T-cells.

It is almost impossible for me to read a liberal blog and not laugh. I sometimes think some of the shit I read on lefty blogs is just bullshit, a set-up, to tease us right thinking folks, like a bad joke, but you see it everywhere, it’s not a joke to them, just like this idiot responding to me below about Gore.

I just wonder, what in the hell are these crazy folks gonna do when Bush leaves office?

On to the post…

If you regularly read liberal blogs, one thing you will quickly learn is that all roads inevitably lead to George W. Bush.If Bush supports a policy, it’s bad, merely by virtue of the fact that Bush supports it. If Bush says something, it’s a lie, merely by virtue of the fact that Bush said it. If something bad happens, Bush must be responsible somehow, because he is the root of all evil in the world.The latest tragedy that Chimpy McBushHitler is apparently the cause of is the California wildfires.Now you may be thinking, “Gee, those wildfires are terrible, but how can the Kos kids blame Bush for them? After all, wildfires in California aren’t exactly an unusual occurrence.”

If that’s where you’re coming from, have no worries, because the aptly named Daily Kos diarist, “The Wonder Moron” — no really, that’s his nickname — will explain it all to you,

And Now California: The disasters of the Bush Era…Now comes California’s turn. Unfortunately, all these locations happen to be areas where the poltics are mostly Democratic. So don’t expect much help. In the past, Bush takes the opportunity to show up, make a speech, make a bunch of promises, then moves on.

The pattern is established.

…Global warming appears to cause the subtropical highs that sit over the oceans to enlarge and intensify. On the east coast this means more intense tropical storms. On the west coast, this means that the sub-tropical highs that traditionally drifted north from below 30 degrees latitude during the summer - creating the Mediterranean climate of dry summers and wet winters - stay longer and maybe projecting themselves farther north during the winters. As a result the amount of rainfall in the west and snowfall in the rockies during the winter diminishes. In essence the desert that exist on the west coast of all continents below 30 degrees (the Sahara in North Africa, Kalahari Desert in South Africa, the Atacama in Chile, Great Sandy Desert in Australia) seems to be expanding northword.

I tried not to post any Hillary stuff, but could not resist, this is funny…

Essence Magazine asks Hillary about the most romantic thing Bill has ever done for her:

“She hesitates for longer than is comfortable, then she says, ‘Oh he’s so romantic. He’s always bringing me back things from his trips. He brought me a giant wooden giraffe from Africa.

Oh, he bought me this watch,’ she said, holding out her left wrist to show off a Chanel watch, its bracelet made of white cubes shaped like elegant dentures, if you can picture it. ‘I had dental surgery, and he said it reminded him of teeth.’”

I bet even Monica is amused, I bet Bill got her better gifts!

From Wizbang

One might think that an 80-95% decrease in war related deaths in Iraq would be a pretty darn big news. One thinking that would be wrong. Today’s media evidently doesn’t think it is a huge deal. At least it is being reported. It is just not being shouted with the fanfare reserved for increases in violence in Iraq. As George Will put it recently in a “must read” column:

Mainstream media types tend to think that, while rising casualties from Iraq are legitimate news, falling casualties are not. But even so the word got out: The surge strategy was producing results. Anbar province, given up for lost in 2006, turned peaceful and cooperative in 2007. U.S. casualties and Iraqi civilian casualties were down. Brookings scholars Michael O’Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack, no fans of the administration’s conduct of the war, announced on July 30 (in the pages of The New York Times, no less) that this was “a war we might just win.”

Bob Owens pointed me to what Michael Yon has to say about it:

..No thinking person would look at last year’s weather reports to judge whether it will rain today, yet we do something similar with Iraq news. The situation in Iraq has drastically changed, but the inertia of bad news leaves many convinced that the mission has failed beyond recovery, that all Iraqis are engaged in sectarian violence, or are waiting for us to leave so they can crush their neighbors. This view allows our soldiers two possible roles: either “victim caught in the crossfire” or “referee between warring parties.” Neither, rightly, is tolerable to the American or British public.

UPDATE!!!

AL GORE has a story he wants to tell the world. But it will cost you a thousand dollars to hear it.In a passionate attack on the climate policies of Prime Minister John Howard and US President George Bush, the former US vice-president, addressing a very expensive lunch in Sydney yesterday, called Australia and the US “the Bonnie and Clyde” outlaws of the global environment for their failure to ratify the Kyoto Protocol.

Mr Gore called on Australia to change course on Kyoto and its climate policies, saying if it did “it would be impossible for the United States to withstand the pressure” to join the rest of the world in ratifying Kyoto.

Labor under Kevin Rudd has promised to ratify the protocol while Mr Howard is adamantly opposed to it and is backing Mr Bush’s efforts to find a “post-Kyoto accord”.

Mr Gore made his comments after reporters were asked to leave the lunch venue. Despite the cost, lunch in the 700-seat room at the Sydney Convention Centre was a sell-out, as is tomorrow’s event in Melbourne. VIP packages, which included a spot close to Mr Gore and a meet-and-greet with him, cost $25,000.

There is more here, but why bother.

Ok I’m blogging unusually light I won’t have time to hit my favorite blog spots today.
But I wanted to comment on a couple of this, like this crazy bullshit, these idiot fucks paying $25,000 to sit near that fatass Gore?

Seriously are some of you people just fucking losing it, are we as human beings being stripped of all human decency and reason.
I’ll tell you there is not one mutherfucker on this planet I would pay that much to sit or speak with.
As much as I like Rush Limbaugh, no matter how much money I had I would not pay thousands of dollars to bask in the glow of some dude no matter how famous.

Ah don’t mind me, I seem to be getting crankier the more I read retarded shit like this.
This country is just full of ass kissing sycophants, it’s just pathetic.
*************************************

Snoop is excited; I just received a response to this old post. Liberals get top priority here ya know.
He said my blog was Conservative Bull Shit! I’m so happy!!!!! LOL!!

Justin

|how much of a rediculous conservative bull shit blog is this? The “conservatives” of our society have allowed everything to be wasted and even now when the light has finally been shined on them they ignore responsibility? So what if Al Gore thinks we are fucking stupid for not joining an agreement because we are GREEDY MOTHERFUCKERS.he has every right to believe that. Those who supported the movement to join Kyoto are the only ones with the right to argue the point. Not some fool conservative bloggers who have no knowledge of the science that inevitably points to a future of poor health and perhaps a short end for our children or grandchildren. you conservative fools continue to think that it doesnt matter…after all…it wont affect you will it? No…it will affect your fucking children. As i sign off i have but one more remark…i hope to god that none of you have children…the world is overpopulated with idiot fucks already. do your part and keep it in your pants.

Good luck to all of you in learning something other than the bullshit that this page is dedicated to.

Justin,
American, environmentalist, scientist, and realist.

Dude must have gotten bitch slapped by his colleagues, he was almost about to cry, LOL!

Ok, I had to start out the day with a change of pace. I find myself posting too much Hillary shit, so I’m gonna chill today, I hope.

Here is a good post from daughter-in-law. Enjoy

Ah, the anonymity of the internet. A lot of people have been talking about it, recently, from folks getting canned for their “I hate my job sooooo much” blogs, to hysterical hand-wringing to the effect of, people having an anonymous forum on which to shoot their mouths off is going to be the downfall of society.There are valid arguments on both sides of the debate, which I, of course, am going to completely disregard. I am far too lazy and undisciplined to have become a legitimate journalist, why the hell should I start acting like one now?

No one who has spent any amount of time interacting with other people in an online setting can throw stones about anonymity, or fibbing about who and what you really are, and what your life is like. Not a damned one of you. Because once you’re sitting at that terminal, with the window for blog comments or instant messaging or board postings blank before you, that cursor blinking, knowing that the person who reads what you’re about to type has no idea who you really are—none of you can honestly say you’ve been completely and totally the same person you would have been sitting across a table from the person, or people, with whom you’re communicating.

Because no matter what the would-be Mary Poppins of the world would like to believe, once you’re behind a mask of any sort, our carefully constructed social barriers fall.

Why the hell do you think costume balls, masques, and the like have always been so popular? Okay, so back in the day you *had* to know that it was really Lady Prissy McStuffyPants, portly wife of Sir Tightbum McStuffypants, behind that satin mask and feathered dress, but it was the *idea* of anonymity that allowed you to press her up against the balcony wall and shove your hand down her over-taxed bodice. When faces, or names—in short, identities—are concealed, all bets are off. We let go. It’s in our nature, whether we like it or not.

Internet anonymity is like booze and cigar smoke for the Isolation Age (nifty, eh? Coined the phrase myself). The high you get off logging-on under a lame username like b0wlcutAv3nger_16 and then venting all of the venomous, uncivil, racist, xenophobic, or just plain batshit-crazy crap that sometimes runs through your otherwise rational and tolerant brain . . . well, that’s what getting fucked up on cheap vodka and ’ludes used to be for.

It is intoxicating.

It’s cocaine, only cheap and legal and won’t put a hole in your nose. It’s ant-Ecstasy, in that you feel like telling everyone you come into contact with exactly what you feel about them, only instead of how beautiful and shining their spirit is, you let off with what a dicktard they are and how every sentence they’ve ever uttered is an abortion of a thought.

It’s a potent drug—it’s free, it’s legal, it’s more accessible than your mom’s cigarettes or your dad’s secret porn-and-bong stash.
