Huh?
*New York Times Nobel Prize winning columnist Paul Krugman was heard telling one of the talking heads at MSNBC that financial reform is necessary because, "we must put (provisions) in place so that nothing like this (bailouts) ever happens again...and when it does, we need to..."
*A letter writer to our local rag, the Scabramento Bee, pointed out that "sunsetting" of the Bush tax cuts is NOT, as Republicans have been saying, a tax "increase," but rather, it is simply the government keeping THEIR money...
*This blog's hero, Bill Clinton, has been pontificating recently about the impact that "words" can have in the public discourse...yes, the man even says that Rush Limbaugh is responsible for inciting acts of violence...well, depending what your definition of the word, "is," is...
*They're still running that "Head & Shoulders" commercial...you know, the one where the voice over announcer reports that using Head and Shoulders shampoo guarantees thicker, fuller hair, er, as opposed to unwashed hair...huh?
*Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has stated repeatedly that the country CAN NOT afford the Health Care plan submitted (and subsequently passed) by the Democrats...all the while admitting he hadn't read the bill...
*Similarly, our president has smugly, condescendingly, sarcastically (okay, put the thesaurus away) stated that ALL the folks who warned of the dire consequences of reform are alarmists in that, "hey, where are the death panels, etc, etc, etc...).
*Then, the McConnell bunch was quick to refer to the fact that major provisions don't go into effect until 2014 and beyond...but then, that's assuming he's since read the bill...
*Lastly, TODAY is 4/20...you know, National Weed Day...Cannabis Culture Day...Wikipedia entries report the 4/20 day originated at San Rafael (California) High School when a group of students would meet at 4:20 and smoke weed...ehhhhhhhhh!!! Wrong! 4/20 is April 20...and April 20 is Adolph Hitler's birthday...the slacker, stoners were just a bunch of Neo-Nazi's...
