This Week’s Thoughts

  • Let’s pull back the curtain on the whole thing: if you believe that President Obama is either (a) not an American citizen, or (b) a Muslim, you are too stupid to be reading this.  Get off my blog, and don’t come back.  If you’re not sure: same deal.
  • It’s logically inconsistent to tell me that the guy who took hostages at the Discovery Channel was fueled by environmental rhetoric, and yet not understand that the guy who flew a plane into the Austin IRS building was fueled by eliminationist right-wing rhetoric.  It’s neither, or it’s both.
  • Lindsay Graham says that the estate tax is going to “devastate small businesses and family farms.”  No further punchline is required.
  • Did anyone else notice that the San Francisco Federal Reserve published a paper that posits that immigration is not the problem, but rather the solution, to our economic crisis?  Look it up; it makes a lot of sense.
  • Jan Brewer has lost it.  The whole scene where she kept claiming that there were decapitated bodies out in her desert, then had to admit that there weren’t, was just…weird.
  • When are conservatives and Tea Partiers going to wise up on Sarah Palin?  Folks: your all-time worst nightmare is getting this lady elected.
  • Aside from the proven idiocy of trying to cut taxes, what are Republicans going to do next year?  Anything?  Anything?
  • Okay, GOP: if you’re going to repeal “Obamacare,” please show me what you’re going to replace it with.  Because the (former) status quo is a non-starter.
  • Dylan Ratigan pointed out an interesting fact: Ronald Reagan would have been run out of the Republican Party (like Bob Bennett was) because of his policies:
    • He provided amnesty for illegal aliens
    • He raised taxes 11 times in 8 years
    • He negotiated with terrorists
    • His top marginal tax rate? 50%
  • What has been the single largest creator of jobs in California since this recession started?  Greentech.
  • Glenn Beck made light of the fact that he said (in his big Lincoln Memorial speech) that he “held” the Constitution in his hands, when in fact it was held up in front of him.  Okay, Glenn.  I get that you think it’s a minor point, and it probably is.  But if you didn’t hold it… don’t say that you held it.  It’s not that hard, really.  It wasn’t even impromptu, for crying out loud!
