Isn't that picture racist? Showing a naked chimpanzee on a WHITE unicorn can't be good.

Paging Joe the Plumber: Obama Still Wants To Spread The Wealth

I think the important principle, because sometimes when we start talking about taxes, and I say I want a more balanced tax code, people think, well, that's class warfare. No. It turns out that our economy grows best when the benefits of the economy are most widely spread. And that has been true historically.

I suspect that the President Select’s idea of “balanced” differs widely from the average Americans'...

Sorry, meant to italics on the paragraph beginning: "I think the important principle..."

That was Obama's latest Marxist garbage spew.

The comment below that paragraph is mine.

CHRISTMAS IV: RE-PRINT OF A THREE YEAR OLD ARTICLE

This Christmas Season
By Gene Lalor
Posted On December 22, 2005

Well, the weather outside is frightful….That’s not really true in the New York City area right now, although commuters would probably prefer the transit strike to have happened in June, rather than December, but the weather mavens say it will be frightful soon enough. Other things this Christmas season are sort of frightful though, notably, the relentless campaign by some folk to virtually abolish this most holy season and to replace it with a secular “holiday” which extols Grinch-y greed and, as Wordsworth wrote many years ago, “getting and spending.”

Without trying to antagonize the left wing of this country — since it is the season of good will — I really don’t grasp their motives in trying to secularize Christmas. Ok, there are many un-Christian things I could say about America’s “liberals,” but I’ll forgo them, or most of them.

The point is, What’s the harm of Christmas? We’re told the nation is eighty-four percent Christian and that some ninety-four percent, whatever their religion, or lack thereof, celebrate Christmas. Many actually go to church! And, it’s not only the season of good will but it’s a season when people at least try to mend familial fences, when people, more than they do usually, sincerely hope and wish for peace on earth and good tidings to everyone, when people even tend to smile more.

Just what’s so bad about all that?

I hate to say it, but I believe those who oppose Christmas–and many do oppose it, despite their protestations to the contrary–seem to have a certain negative mind-set, unfortunately a characteristic of the “liberal” psyche. New York area cases in point include a recent flap over a Catholic priest actually daring to use the words “Jesus Christ” at a Christmas tree lighting and another involving a Nativity scene, or manger, and a menorah.

For those from Jupiter, ...

Pointless factory sit-in attracts the usual vultures.Jesse Jackson, Democrat politicians, and the media.

This is where they lost me.

One of the factory's workers, Silvia Mazon, said in Spanish that she needs the money owed to her for an $1,800 monthly house payment.

Recycling business slumps like the rest of the economy, but whines about it more. Most forms of recycling are economically inefficient. It takes more energy, creates more pollution, and costs more to recycle paper than it does to make new paper, for example. Inefficiency for the sake of warm-mushy-self-satisfaction is a luxury in good economic times, but in harder times, luxuries are the first to suffer.

Fidel Castro to meet Obama in Gitmo? Only if Castro is locked up in his own "private room" there.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20081205/ts_nm/us_cuba_usa_obama_5

"Before the U.S. presidential election last month, Fidel Castro praised Obama as intelligent and humanitarian in the columns that have become his main form of communication.

Raul suggested in the interview he could meet Obama in Guantanamo Bay, where the United States maintains a naval base, which Cuba considers a violation of its sovereignty."
