Support Rep. Weiner as he tries to find the evil hacker!

I'm with Iowahawk. This can not go on. We need to encourage Rep. Weiner to prosecute the hacker to the fullest extent possible. Let's get serious with this.

Beautiful. Classic.

You know that there are somethings that have been around and will be around for years. This is one of them. If I had some extra cash just burning a hole in my pocket, I might be easily parted with it. I particularly like the color.

Summer - Just around the corner...

You know what that means. Cookouts in the backyard and sitting on the front porch as daylight lingers.
While on said front porch or backyard I enjoy a good cigar. Now I know what my next box of cigars will be.
After enjoying a PADRON at the wine festival this weekend, I have done some more research and believe that my next cigar will be this. I'll report back.

Shameful. Boehner, not Tea Party!

Sad to see that Republicans are complicit on National Debt and Raising the Debt Limit. It seems that the leadership of the Republican Party is more RINO than CIA (Conservative In Action). I have for years been withholding my support for Republicans that aren't CIA. I have a feeling that this will be a growing trend up through 2012. Good Luck and Good Riddance, RINOs!

What's "Fair" about the current tax system?

Constantly heard is that the top income earners must pay their "fair share." Just how is that determined? Who gets to say when it is fair enough? What's not fair about everybody paying the same rate? ...you get my point, I hope.
There is nothing fair about this.

Tipping Point?

According to the Tax Prof, we may have reached the tipping point: More takers than makers. To remedy this, I propose a simple change...If you don't pay, you don't play. Meaning of course, if you don't pay any Federal Income Tax, you don't get to vote in Federal Elections!
Why should somebody riding for free get to decide where the ship goes. It doesn't pass the sanity test.
Oh, and the change better come soon.
