    State of the Union

    Thought it could use it's own thread.

    So far--Killing Bin Laden and developing multiple energy sources have gotten the biggest bi-partisan ovations.
    If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

    Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

      "That ain't right" he totally stole that from Chris Rock.

                    Six reasons Keystone XL was a bad deal all along

                    ..Here are six facts about the proposed Keystone XL deal that make clear why the pipeline was a bad deal for America and why it deserved to be rejected:
                    notice from where the article is from.

                    this is what's called a golden nugget. of course there is no space for comments, which surely would've garnered some fireworks from the choir... yet i'd even say this is more than fair and balanced. it's why i read the boston herald, and NY Post, and washington post (their comments are the best. and more importantly they are not a choir), and even fox. ..the NY times does it too. they have become a choir, unfortunately. yet, the boston herald never has any golden nuggets preaching against the choir. additionally their op-eds always start and end with personal attacks... the NY Post, 1 out of every 20 articles has a nugget.

                        The Republicans on my fb wall say Obama is just promoting "class warfare" again... so to be clear, the Republican stance is against the wealthy paying the same tax rate as the middle class? That's the official party stance? Or is the class warfare remark about something else?

                          neither party understands what they want. but i will tell you where it matters. i think.

                          having a 15% capital gains tax, you're shifting money that would normally be used to build a business- that builds a product, that hires employees, that use the money building the product to by it and becomes consumers- to simply the stock market that 'creates wealth'. but thats all it creates. it doesn't not create those other things.

                          it's insanity that the stock market it at almost 13,000 (as 12,000 has become support and no longer resistance) this is a direct result of being the best game in town. because it's only 15%. why bother putting your money elsewhere.

                              Except when it's Mitt Romney and then they think it is horribly elitist.
