I get really sick and tired of all the "kiss business's butt" rhetoric and policy. Here in my state, the GOP-run legislature has done everything it possibly can to make sure businesses can slurp up as much profit as possible. Businesses taxes have been cut up the wazoo all because of the GOP lie that "if we cut busines...more

It always strikes me as funny that the media are "biased" when it's just that they don't spout YOUR views. In today's world, you either agree with ME, or you're an antiAmerican communist fascist stupid idiot... and because no one nowadays has to listen to/watch any "news" unless it fits their particular worldview, than...more

As a MI taxpayer, I just LOVE the fact that I'm gonna have to pay more in gas taxes, much more to renew my vehicle registration every year, possibly a city income tax in the city where I work, on top of the city income tax I ALREADY pay in the city where I live, have to live in a state with underfunded schools and publ...more

Yeah, I did too. The recovery fueled by increased demand fueled by all those newly re-employed people with more money to spend who were newly re-employed thanks to all those businesses who added jobs because before, being in a higher tax bracket was stifling all those jobs they would be creating otherwise.   Not.

I never get this line of thinking. If one is the leader of a business, why would he/she do everything possible to take that business down? By the same token, if someone is president, what possible reason would he/she have to destroy the very thing he/she is president of? By definition, what does that leave you the pres...more

I live in a city where apparently red lights are optional and the speed limit is just a suggestion. Then on my trek to work on the freeway, the part of the trip inside the city is taken up paying attention to drivers who must think they're in NASCAR -- they not only drive 80 mph but do it nose to tail with other cars a...more

Funny... in my neck of the woods, gasoline went up 42 cents per gallon on the Monday of election week, sometime between the time I left my city to head to work in the morning and the time I came back home that evening. So, so much for your argument that the price went down just to entice us all to vote Democratic. Besi...more

Funny, that same dreck circulated near the end of W's term. "President Bush is going to use his executive power to call off the election and stay in office indefinitely past the end of his term. His reasoning is that the country is still in the emergency begun on 9/11 so he needs to stay in office." I can't tell you ho...more

I never much minded stuff like the lingering closeups of a car's logo. I just went "well, some shameless product placement." But it really is getting to be too much. The ultimate for me was a Rizzoli and Isles ep that had the women oohing over the comfort of Dr. Scholl's inserts. Not only was it really awkwardly writte...more
