A hundred years ago, an angel was born on Earth. So this weekend, eat some jelly beans (get diabetes) in honor of Ronald Reagan. Egypt's tourism industry took a hit this week, for some reason. President Obama finally admitted that he takes personal orders
Is her point that it's Barry's fault she's uninformed? Or is she just mad because she sits at the Fox News kiddie table while the adults are busy trying in the other room to sort this out?
And a commenter on NPR revealed the real legacy of Ronaldus Magnus:
<i>Any solution to the deficit and tax reform misses the mark unless it addresses this shameful fact: Billionaire Warren Buffett pays 12% total (federal, state, local, corporate) taxes on $8 billion annual investment gains while a single minimum wage worker pays 41% total taxes on her $14,500 annual salary <a href="http:// <a href="http://(http://fairsharetaxes.org)"" target="_blank">(http://fairsharetaxes.org)"</a> target="_blank"> <a href="http://(http://fairsharetaxes.org)</a>" target="_blank">(http://fairsharetaxes.org)</a></a>. The recent tax deal amounts to $74,000 to each top 2% household compared to $5200 for an average bottom 98% household.
The favored tax treatment for wealthy investors started by Reagan 30 years ago led to the the share of the nation&#039;s wealth held by the top 1% of households jumping from 22 to 40%. It also led a 25% drop in our GDP growth over 30 years (compared to the 30 prior years with 50% max tax rate), investment bubbles, and thus our last two recessions (in which everyone - except the rich who benefited from investor tax breaks - risks losing their jobs, homes and pensions).</i>
After checking the &#039;usual suspects&#039; web sites of the far-right it seems that the Gipper was not only the best President this country ever had but he also sets the standard for all future leaders. Rush Limbaugh asked a caller Friday where he had got the silly idea that Ronald Reagan raised taxes. His biographer Edmund Morris writes in Today&#039;s WaPo that Reagan was successful in all of his endeavors and a humble Christian to boot. He includes this generous assessment: <i>In the spring of 1945, Capt. Reagan, as the FMPU&#039;s intelligence officer, spent weeks processing raw color footage from the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps.<b> The images so burned into his brain that later in life - quite understandably - he imagined he had been there at Ohrdruf and Buchenwald.</i></b>
Today&#039;s celebratory folderol will be a tribute to a contrived myth, one which covers up attacks on the working- and middle-classes, unchecked Executive branch overreach, and start of the ultra-rich owning the largest percentage of America&#039;s assets in our history.
The right will say, &#039;never forget&#039;. We should always reply, &#039;please remember&#039;.
I was more than happy to skip the game and watch the <a href="http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch\?v=NpaXaL9OxYc" target="_blank">Capt. America</a> commercial online.

Maybe her fake jugs created too much pressure on her lungs and she was unable to exhale properly to sing.

If the Swiss will indict Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Kissinger I say we forget about their banking shenanigans with despots &amp; hoodlums.

Was FLOTUS supposed to pay Sarah instead?
sounds like somebody in the o&#039;bama household has been reading &#039;art of war&#039;.
Also, Cheney spent the entire Reagan presidency stuck serving in the U.S. House, so good on him twice.
