Right, future contributions to political candidates should be deferred to purchasing weapons to storm the Bastille.

Campaign contributions demand a 1000% return on investment, or more.

I was looking through the Woodrow Wilson site. I can’t say for sure about the stacking charge. It was made by then current and former students about speakers in 2005. The Lee Hamilton thing is still good.

Wiki has an interesting list of alumni.

My favorites are Samuel Alito, Kit Bond, Larry Kudlow, and Judy Miller.

Really, there seems to be no real purpose to this tax cut other than to throw money at financial institutions that have already proven that they will not use the money well. Why, I ask? Why?

CBS News this evening with the ever perky Katie Couric did a very nice fluff piece on Bush being a great environmentalist by setting aside more of the Pacific that has few resources to be exploited by big business. Somebody needs to draw a cartoon of Couric on her knees fellating the Decider wearing her CBS Tshirt.

The economy is already tanked. PEBO will not be able to take credit for that (though the Rs will blame him, in a quid pro quo for PEBO’s postpartisanship).

Obi is going to be the one to tank the economy and drag us into more ME wars.

Change we can believe in is like deja vu all over again.
