And the government wouldn't even have to "directly increase taxation" to raise a lot more revenue. It might be better off granting a ton of extra funding to the IRS for the purpose of hiring more accountants and lawyers, to combat the staff of accountants and lawyers all obscenely rich people maintain to evade the taxes they are legally supposed to pay NOW!

I remember buying a tent from Cabela's, and getting an NRA membership solicitation about a week later.

I couldn't really think of anything original, so I wrote "GO FUCK YOURSELF!!" with a sharpie across the form before stuffing up the business reply envelope and dropping it in the mail. Hackneyed, yes - but it worked. Not a word since.

And his administration was epically corrupt. Scandal after scandal after grifting scandal. Even if we leave out the Iran-Contra business.

I like it! I am all for it! Since the guillotines Jeff McDonald advocates are out of the question.(The next Republican in the White House would reserve them for left wingers and coloureds anyway.)

Grover Norquist hasn't reared his ugly head recently, but remember his shtick about how taxes should only ever go down, with zero being the optimal tax rate? Still got Libertarian leaning pols on the GOP side who think like that. Yeah, somehow shrink the government to nothing and not wind up with something that looks like a Mad Max movie.

That giant foot kicking cartoon Hitler in the ass is supremely satisfying. As is everything else about this pictorial.

At least the Larry Elder emails stopped like a Corvette hitting a brick wall after Tuesday night.

One of my favorites of hers is that crazy one with Matthew Broderick and the chef Meg Ryan's in love with and stalking, whom she poisons with strawberries. And the salty Grandma and the half-condemned apartment Meg Ryan's squatting in.People in my family still shout, "Heeeey, Dishwasher!" in a French accent. We are weird.

I live nowhere near California and I'll be happily gloating over this for weeks.Hey, I'm a Floridian - we just need to borrow some Democratic victories from y'all every once in a while. Living vicariously and stuff.
