As tre as it has ever been...

Ouch!
I'm sure that, at the very least, one of Clinton's aids has read this.
It is a more scathing than the editorial I saw on the London Times website that wondered why we would consider somebody as under qualified has Hillery Clinton and why we seem to be electing dynasties (i.e. Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton?).
I have a friend who wants here to get elected. He expects here to screw things up so badly that a major political correction is all but guaranteed.

News and other ramblings
Press releases like this is why many call these groups "environmentalist wacko". It is shameful to to use the misfortunes of those who have lost their homes for ideological gains. I have stated that I don't think that it should be major - front page above the fold - news story, but I don't think that it right to exploit victims of any disaster. Additionally, blaming Bush for causing the fire through inaction is laughable on it face. It can, however, be argued that environmental regulations have forced inaction that has made preventing and fighting wild fires more difficult. Bush is not setting fires - others are. Incidentally, the warmest and worst fire season on record in S.CA is 1936.
I will have to see if they will protest China's atrocious air quality? I'm sure that many do, but I'd wager that most of these groups give the Chinese a pass.
It is hard to compete with near slave labor.
I smell a siege...
Stop the flow then deal with the ones that are here, that is to unreasonable; in fact it is the only way any reform will actually work! Perhaps then the issue will be less caustic for those who oppose vast majority of the population.
The look on Sec. Rice's face is priceless. Is it a 'what the hell is this look' or 'will anyone blame me for hitting her' look.
If you didn't see this coming than you haven't been paying attention.
This doesn't sound all that bad until you realize that the changes coincide with the sunsetting of the Bush tax cuts (i.e. a tax increase). Here is the GOP response to this. I am, by no measure, rich, but I ask why should I make a 100 grand a year if I have to give most of it to government. I make money to spend it on ME and those whom I want to spend money on. The only real tax reforms I could support is a flat tax or an elimination of the income tax I'll have to read the bill before I can really comment, but have to ask if it is really necessary since tax revenue has increased significantly in the last several years.
Today is St. Crispin's Day. The only reason I know this is because of Shakespeare, though it is better in the original Klingon.
The Simpsons did it...
The premise seems interesting, but who decides what is valuable and what is not?
"Pull the grenade and throw the pin..."
The Aristocrats!
I hate it when this happens...
Also the quote of the week: "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what's for dinner. Liberty is a well armed lamb contesting the vote." --Benjamin Franklin
