Two cars just slammed into each other on my ice-covered road

But a quickly-passed tax cut reached back in time and retroactively prevented the accident.


See? Republicans are right! Tax cuts fix everything. And if a tax cut didn't fix everything, it's because the tax cut wasn't big enough.


NOTE: The cars didn't actually slam into each other, though they did slide helplessly past each other. But a quick tax cut would have prevented even this near miss!

Only a fool or a Democrat can fail to see this. (actually not funny -- Mitch McConnell was on NPR this morning saying almost exactly that)

Is that the Republican minority can somehow still command more uninterrupted and unrebutted airtime on CNN and MSNBC than the entire Democratic majority including President Obama.

President Obama... Gosh, it feels good to say that!

Anyway, when Dems were the minority, they were obstructionists trying to derail Bush's agenda. Now that Repubs are the minority, the media is outraged that they're not getting a seat at the table and carte blanche to write the legislation as they see fit.

:wtf:

years ago, but listening to the goings-on on radio are bad enough. NPR gave McConnell a long sound byte explaining the wonderfulness of cutting capital gains.

Also this morning, NPR had a spokesman from the Cato Institute (!) suggesting that people who have lost their jobs just pack up their families and their households and MOVE TO WHERE THE JOBS ARE!!!! He was quite proud of himself for coming up with this answer, clearly, and closed his little spiel with a cheery "Jobward Ho!"

Wherewith I decided to keep the radio turned off the rest of the day.
I could just stop sending money to public radio and get a secondhand TV and listen to Faux, at this rate. Fap.

Granted, the Right blasts the network as a whole is blasted for being way too Liberal, but NPR's just-barely-left-of-center agenda leaves too much space for Conservative propagandists to get the message out. As if 90% of broadcast radio isn't far-Right to begin with.

And that asshole from CATO needs to explain to me how you're supposed to move to where the jobs are, since every state in the union is hemorrhaging jobs! And is he personally going to subsidize the cost of packing up a family of four and moving cross-country?


What an asshole!

somehow matters more than what the majority wants.

In the past nine days I've seen more of Mitch McConnell's doughy, simpering face than in the past eight years, and it's frankly too much.

The House's passage of the stimulus bill with nary a Republican vote suggests to me that the Repubs are betting that it will fail to jump-start the economy, so that afterwards they can sit back and say "we told you so."

Of course, they told us nothing and did even less, other than rubber-stamping Bush's agenda for two unchecked terms.


Let them bank on failure; it will expose them as the cynical opportunists that they really are.

face time on TV. And ditto for now when they are the minority.

Gotta love that lie-brul media. :eyes:
