Arrogance Will Cost You Your Seat And Thank God For It
Incumbency: A Synonym for Arrogance
In the last several months we’ve heard a great deal about the anti-incumbent mood of the electorate, seen several incumbents fall to less than sterling challengers and a variety of ‘establishment’ candidates toppled from their top of the polls perch by unknowns. And there have been innumerable incumbents who, while re-nominated, have won with totally unimpressive numbers.
This fellow knows his business. You should make your business to follow him.

There Is A Shift In The Wind And More Dinosaurs Are Dying
We are living in a world in which dinosaurs are dying, again. Just like the last batch of mass dino deaths the new dinos don't know they're dying even as their dino friends are dropping around them. Pelosi in DC still thinks it is a 1950's Baltimore where the troops will do as bidden (actually do as paid) when she exhorts her fellow Demo Dinos to go out and proclaim the wondrous work they've done down there in Washington, DC. When they do they appear on websites around the world as Dinos transfixed in the glare of headlights and one can hear the oxygen being sucked out of their universe as they finally realize that the awful truth is that they aren't wanted or needed anymore.
The meteor that is killing the new Dinos is called Internet. It's trajectory seems to go straight to the hearts of those unwilling to believe. Those unbelievers still cry for the Internet to be controlled, regulated and even banned to support the old ways. Instead of seizing the new and learning new tricks and opening new ways of business the Dinos try to stuff the new into the old with muscle and the power of size. The old just isn't big enough to contain the new.
“I don't care what you say about me, as long as you say something about me, and as long as you spell my name right.” George M. Cohan understood new ways, but he also knew how to further the old by utilizing the new even when he had invented the new. His maxim about his mentions showed an understanding of business, the arts and his personal storyline. George M. shooed away the meteors threatening the cliched Dinos of the theater business by embracing new ways that lent to, but refused to be beholding to, the old ways.
The very Press which made Cohan a household name by spelling his name right is now the newest Dino transfixed and scared by the glaring headlights of progress and they are dying by trying to right the old and wrong the new.
Newspaper Chain’s New Business Plan: Copyright Suits
Gibson says he’s just getting started. Righthaven has other media clients that he won’t name until the lawsuits start rolling out, he says.
“Frankly, I think we’re having tremendous success at a number of levels,” Gibson says. “We file new complaints every day.”
I can't spell their name wrong if I never type it. I can't help their bottom line if I never send a reader to them. And, I can't help them back to their feet as they start to die because now I will never notice or care.
Out with the old and in with the new. Nobody ever said progress is fair and not even the courts or Congress can save the Dinos. All they can do is prolong the agony of their prolonged death. Oh, sure, a few meteor chasing lawyers will make a few bucks off the dying, but I have never admired profit by death lawyers however they may try to make their work appear admirable. They're the next Dino.

July 23 - 1st TransAtlantic Broadcast - 48 Years Ago
1962 – Telstar relays the first publicly transmitted, live trans-Atlantic television program, featuring Walter Cronkite.
This amazing technology gave Europe and America live telecasts in 18 minute increments. More amazing is that this breakthrough occurred less than 50 years ago. Just over a year later people in Europe and the United States could watch the aftermath of President Kennedy's assassination live.

The Democrat's Coming Taxes Will Hurt Everyone
Read this from Investor's Business Daily and weep. Weep not just for yourself, but especially for your children and grandchildren. The Democrats have screwed them good because they're not old enough to vote and the Democrats be out of office by the time they are old enough to vote. By then the Demos will be living some where tax-free.
The death tax returns — at a rate of 55% on estates of $1 million or more. The effect this will have on hospital life-support systems is already a matter of conjecture.
The lowest bracket for the personal income tax, for instance, moves up 50% — to 15% from 10%. The next lowest bracket — 25% — will rise to 28%, and the old 28% bracket will be 31%. At the higher end, the 33% bracket is pushed to 36% and the 35% bracket becomes 39.6%.
The marriage penalty also makes a comeback, and the capital gains tax will jump 33% — to 20% from 15%. The tax on dividends will go all the way from 15% to 39.6% — a 164% increase.
Both the cap-gains and dividend taxes will go up further in 2013 as the health care reform adds a 3.8% Medicare levy for individuals making more than $200,000 a year and joint filers making more than $250,000. Other tax hikes include: halving the child tax credit to $500 from $1,000 and fixing the standard deduction for couples at the same level as it is for single filers.
Letting the Bush cuts expire will cost taxpayers $115 billion next year alone, according to the Congressional Budget Office, and $2.6 trillion through 2020.
The Medicine Cabinet Tax. Americans, says ATR, "will no longer be able to use health savings account, flexible spending account, or health reimbursement pretax dollars to purchase nonprescription, over-the-counter medicines (except insulin)."
The HSA Withdrawal Tax Hike. "This provision of ObamaCare," according to ATR, "increases the additional tax on nonmedical early withdrawals from an HSA from 10% to 20%, disadvantaging them relative to IRAs and other tax-advantaged accounts, which remain at 10%."
Brand Name Drug Tax. Makers and importers of brand-name drugs will be liable for a tax of $2.5 billion in 2011. The tax goes to $3 billion a year from 2012 to 2016, then $3.5 billion in 2017 and $4.2 billion in 2018. Beginning in 2019 it falls to $2.8 billion and stays there. And who pays the new drug tax? Patients, in the form of higher prices.
Economic Substance Doctrine. ATR reports that "The IRS is now empowered to disallow perfectly legal tax deductions and maneuvers merely because it judges that the deduction or action lacks 'economic substance.'"
• The Tax Policy Center, no right-wing group, says that the failure to index the AMT will subject 28.5 million families to the tax when they file next year, up from 4 million this year.
• "Small businesses can normally expense (rather than slowly deduct, or 'depreciate') equipment purchases up to $250,000," says ATR. "This will be cut all the way down to $25,000. Larger businesses can expense half of their purchases of equipment. In January of 2011, all of it will have to be 'depreciated.'"
• According to ATR, there are "literally scores of tax hikes on business that will take place," plus the loss of some tax credits. The research and experimentation tax credit will be the biggest loss, "but there are many, many others. Combining high marginal tax rates with the loss of this tax relief will cost jobs."
• The deduction for tuition and fees will no longer be available and there will be limits placed on education tax credits. Teachers won't be able to deduct their classroom expenses and employer-provided educational aid will be restricted. Thousands of families will no longer be allowed to deduct student loan interest.
Can we repeal the last two elections?

McCain Picked Palin, How About We All Call Her A Right Wing Know Nothing Hick? Sound Fair?
Being a professional reporter is really hard, especially when on one has told you what to write. Jeez, it's not like they're just bloggers who actually write what they think on their own. Only a rookie with no skin in the game would do something stupid like that.
When McCain picked Palin, liberal journalists coordinated the best line of attack
Chris Hayes of the Nation wrote in with words of encouragement, and to ask for more talking points. “Keep the ideas coming! Have to go on TV to talk about this in a few min and need all the help I can get,” Hayes wrote.
Suzanne Nossel, chief of operations for Human Rights Watch, added a novel take: “I think it is and can be spun as a profoundly sexist pick. Women should feel umbrage at the idea that their votes can be attracted just by putting a woman, any woman, on the ticket no matter her qualifications or views.”
Mother Jones’s Stein loved the idea. “That’s excellent! If enough people – people on this list? – write that the pick is sexist, you’ll have the networks debating it for days. And that negates the SINGLE thing Palin brings to the ticket,” he wrote.
Another writer from Mother Jones, Nick Baumann, had this idea: “Say it with me: ‘Classic GOP Tokenism’.”
...
Journolist’s founder Ezra Klein, now a blogger at the Washington Post, reached an entirely different conclusion: “I see no reason to attack Palin. I think you accurately describe Palin and attack McCain.” Klein linked to an article he had written for the American Prospect that calmly described Palin’s thin resume.
Time’s Joe Klein then linked to his own piece, parts of which he acknowledged came from strategy sessions on Journolist. “Here’s my attempt to incorporate the accumulated wisdom of this august list-serve community,” he wrote. And indeed Klein’s article contained arguments developed by his fellow Journolisters. Klein praised Palin personally, calling her “fresh” and “delightful,” but questioned her “militant” ideology. He noted Palin had endorsed parts of Obama’s energy proposal.
That was all on the day of the announcement.
Journolist was made up of a bunch of desperate whining wanna-be sumptin important nobodies. The journalists that wrote about and were supposed to accurately report on the election of the most powerful person in the world thought the electorate a bunch of "f*cking NASCAR retards" that they could conspire to lie to so as to fix the election.
Now, who are the retards?

The Shirley Sherrod Fix Is In
Robert Gibbs Apologizes to Shirley Sherrod
How many times did he apologize? How many times did he deflect questions concerning President Obama's involvement?
Gibbs isn't even in the same league as Vilsack who took one for the team, threw himself under the bus and fell on his sword all in a matter of minutes. He also deflected questions about President Obama's involvement.
White House apologizes to Shirley Sherrod, says administration wrongly fired black employee for tape
"The buck stops with me." "This is a teachable moment." "I accepted full responsibility for them."
I can almost feel the hot poker sent to Vilsack by the White House. His Captain will not go down with the ship. In fact, he was the first one off when trouble happened.
Of course, this was about agriculture and they still fertilize with natural substances around here. At least that is what I thought I smelled late this afternoon.
UPDATE: The CBS Early Morning Show had Sherrod on to wimper and console. Oh, they also spoke about that racist Breitbart who Sherrod may sue, but she isn't "actively" thinking about it. She just wanted to mention it on national TV as an aside, because Breitbart hasn't even called to apologize (like the rest of the world) and she doesn't think he will. Well, at least as far as she knows him, which she doesn't at all, she doesn't think he will apologize.
Maybe she can be the star of Obama's Apology Tour II (III, IV, V?).
UPDATE II: All must be forgiven. The Captain has called Sherrod and apologized for calling her a racist after she said she had stopped being a racist and also for throwing her under the bus because of his misunderstanding of what she said. He must've been paying attention with the same set of ears he had on for 20 years in one of Rev. Wright's pew. All is well in the universe now that we know who the real racists are.
Maybe The One will now call the NAACP and apologize to them for thinking they actually represented colored folks. "We are one people. We are one nation. I’m an NAACP American."

Beer Summit! Will Sherrod And Brietbart Be Invited???
President Barack Obama who has been known to accuse others of acting stupidly now has a chance to build a bridge from acts of real stupidity to a self awareness of personal stupidity. It would be a very short bridge.
USDA will reconsider firing
Maybe Obama will find it in his stupidly acting heart to allow Tom Vilsack to bus the table, but the NAACP should not be invited. They should be attending classes on racism. And stupidity.

The Health Care Reform "No Tax Increase" Lie
From my email a post about just one of the tax increases that Democrats have or are planning to pass into law. All that "no tax increase" talk is baloney as is the lie that no bill that increases the deficit will be tolerated. The leadership is lying. They know it and we know it, but the blatant lies just continue to be told.
2011 W-2 Tax Forms andThere should be no talk of defunding legislation such as this. There has to be action to repeal this and all the other onerous legislation Congress has passed in 2009 and 2010 against the will of the people. Those in Congress that do not vote to repeal should be voted out of elected office.
Obamacare
If this doesn't get to you, then check your pulse. You may be a flat line...
Should you want to verify this, go to http://www.thomas.gov/, enter "H.R. 3590" in the search box and look for "CRS Summaries." This is what you'll find.
Title IX Revenue Provisions—Subtitle A: Revenue Offset "(Sec. 9002) Requires employers to include in the W-2 form of each employee the aggregate cost of applicable employer-sponsored group health coverage that is excludable from the employee's gross income (excluding the value of contributions to flexible spending arrangements)."
Starting in 2011—next year—the W-2 tax form sent by your employer will be increased to show the value of whatever health insurance you are provided. It doesn't matter if you're retired. Your gross income WILL go up by the amount of insurance your employer paid for. So you’ will be required to pay taxes on a larger sum of money than you actually received. Take the tax form you just finished for 2009 and see what $15,000.00 or $20,000.00 additional gross income does to your tax debt. That's what you'll pay next year. For many it puts you into a much higher bracket. This is how the government is going to buy insurance for the fifteen (15) percent that don't have insurance and it's only part of the tax increases, but it's not really a "tax increase" as such, it a redefinition of your taxable income.
Also, go to Kiplinger's and read about the thirteen (13) tax changes for 2010 that could affect you.

Hey Iran, Shut Up. No One Cares What You Think. Morons.
Iran Accuses U.S, Pakistan of Supporting Terrorism
Iran has morons in charge, both religious morons and political morons and they're led by a short creep with a complex that dwarfs Napoleon's and the world is supposed to care?
Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki was among dozens of international diplomats speaking Tuesday at a global forum in Kabul aimed at stabilizing Afghanistan and unifying the global fight against the Taliban and al Qaeda.
Stabilizing? Unifying the global fight? Huh? Who is smoking more crack, the loudmouth liars or the reporter? Iran helping fight against Jihad? Maybe this crack reporter will testify in another article as how the fattest kid in town will testify that Oreos in a family pack is a bad thing. All while having a stash of Oreos big enough to fell the most healthy in town with one giant heart attack.
Iran, shut up. No one cares what you think. Ditto that of reporters that actually believe that readers still care what they think.
Besides, how could the chosen one do any wrong? Well, you know what I mean, as in foreign policy, economics, national policy, the military, etc., etc., blah, blah, blah.
The circus is in town, but I'm not seeing elephants, zebras and trapeze artists. Just clowns.

Will There Be An Obesity Rating For The Fat Heads In DC?
In an effort to know and control every part of everyone's life the federal government now wants to include you body mass index in your electronic medical record that the federal government will protect and control. In light of what is inevitable maybe the feds will hire paroled convicts to scour the Internet to collect the oil balls of their data spill when the fed does what it does best, screw up.
Obesity Rating for Every American Must Be Included in Stimulus-Mandated Electronic Health Records, Says HHS
The obesity-rating regulation states that every American's electronic health record must: “Calculate body mass index. Automatically calculate and display body mass index (BMI) based on a patient’s height and weight.”
The law also requires that these electronic health records be available--with appropriate security measures--on a national exchange.
I don't want an electronic health record with the federal government. I don't need a body mass index (BMI) being sent to a bunch of fat-assed bureaucrats who know less about protecting personal information then they do about health. I despise these little mommies in business attire smugly telling us what we need because they think we are unable to take care of ourselves. Anyone in government that thinks they are smarter than the people is too stupid to be in government. It appears we have an army of bureaucratic nitwits being led by smug morons. Is there a BMI to measure fatheadedness?
