Funny paragraph from ESPN
thoughts from gregg easterbrook
"Being self-employed, I must pay quarterly estimated taxes, and self-employment taxes for the fourth quarter of 2008 were due mid-January. I borrowed from my bank, the Bank of America, to make the tax payment. Last week Bank of America, which had already received a $25 billion federal gift, was given another $20 billion in federal subsidies to cover losses caused by poor decisions by its top managers, all of whom have kept their ritzy jobs and high salaries. So: First the federal government borrowed money, probably from China; then gave the money to Bank of America; then I borrowed some of that money from Bank of America and gave it to the federal government; then the federal government gave the money back to Bank of America."
yes we can!

more of the same
good article
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/12/blame_bush_obama_or_us.html
obama will continue the same policies that bush had, which were a continuations of Clinton's, which were...
bush is no more the problem than obama is the answer. the problem is shared by all our politicians in both parties. they haven't looked out for the country, just their own lazy asses and big egos. it's disappointing to see the people who hated bush think that obama will come in and change anything. isn't it obvious from all the promises he has already broken (FISA, CFR, Windall profits, iraq, etc.), appointing all the same old DC people, and not being straightforward about the illinois governor, that we have replaced one self serving politician with another?

Zack and Miri
the yahoo headline said:
A controversial movie might have gone No. 1 this weekend if it weren't for its title and subject matter .
oh, that stupid subject matter. if zack and miri make a porno was just about teddy bears it would have been #1! who writes these headlines?
some of their other hits:
- Hitler would have been a really cool dude if it weren't for everything he did and all the people he killed.
- Rotten fruit might be #1 item at restaurant except for its name and the fact that it's rotten fruit.

must see clip on welfare. a popular thing to say these days is that it is un-christian to oppose welfare. you can care about the poor, and still realize that government economic intervention has hurt poor people more than it helps them. in the 20th century, the US government threw trillions of dollars into the 'war on poverty' and the national poverty rate has stayed exactly the same.

legalize it!
a hedge fund manager retires, and writes a goodbye note. he digresses into a pot rant, but has some good points on a policy that puts weed users in prison, but is ok with alcohol and tobacco companies playing a big part in our gov't.
from his goodbye letter to clients: "Lastly, while I still have an audience, I would like to bring attention to an alternative food and energy source. You won’t see it included in BP’s, “Feel good. We are working on sustainable solutions,” television commercials, nor is it mentioned in ADM’s similar commercials. But hemp has been used for at least 5,000 years for cloth and food, as well as just about everything that is produced from petroleum products. Hemp is not marijuana and vice versa. Hemp is the male plant and it grows like a weed, hence the slang term. The original American flag was made of hemp fiber and our Constitution was printed on paper made of hemp. It was used as recently as World War II by the U.S. Government, and then promptly made illegal after the war was won. At a time when rhetoric is flying about becoming more self-sufficient in terms of energy, why is it illegal to grow this plant in this country? Ah, the female.
The evil female plant – marijuana. It gets you high, it makes you laugh, it does not produce a hangover. Unlike alcohol, it does not result in bar fights or wife beating. So, why is this innocuous plant illegal? Is it a gateway drug? No, that would be alcohol, which is so heavily advertised in this country. My only conclusion as to why it is illegal, is that Corporate America, which owns Congress, would rather sell you Paxil, Zoloft, Xanax and other additive drugs, than allow you to grow a plant in your home without some of the profits going into their coffers. This policy is ludicrous. It has surely contributed to our dependency on foreign energy sources. Our policies have other countries literally laughing at our stupidity, most notably Canada, as well as several European nations (both Eastern and Western). You would not know this by paying attention to U.S. media sources though, as they tend not to elaborate on who is laughing at the United States this week."
