Can’t arrange things so Rs lose their Debt/Deficit and See? Tax Increases Don’t Work talking points. That wouldn’t be bipartisany.

As a head of household making high-mid 5 figures (but in a high-cost locale just south of Nancy’s district, putting me at the lower end of local ‘middle-income’), I stand firmly for letting them expire down to, say, $50k, and adjust rates and/or brackets from there. And tax unearned income at AT LEAST the same rate, duh.

Recipients of natural disasters who came out better than others thanking God or Jeebus – because, you know, their neighbors that took the brunt deserved it.

Son & I were at a stoplight years ago, and there was a Taco Bell kitty-corner. Great big banner, “NOW HIRING – SHIFT MANAGERS”. Only, there was a small corner it had to go around, and the F was not visible to us. And me without a camera…

NPR – I forget who, but one of the female reporters pronounces ‘Tripoli’ like the Marine hymn – Trippa-LEE.

would-could-should OF

‘everyday’ when ‘every day’ is called for (“everyday low prices – every day”)

‘myself’ instead of ‘me’ (“give the paper to Joe or myself”)

“going forward”

“Proactively”

collateral harms to unmarried opposite couples and children

That damage is not collateral, it’s intentional punishment of sinners. If you’re not in a Christian marriage, YOU DON’T COUNT. Period.

Frothy didn’t get as far as he did on his good looks.

“have certain statutory obligations to promote patriotism and to promote the free enterprise system.”

How TF do TJ (?!) and church-state separation oppose that? I like the article’s dateline, although it’s Vermont – “Dummerston”.

Am I missing a decimal or something? Disbursing $3,800,000,000 in HAMP funds to aid 691,000 homes = $5500 apiece. WTF is that supposed to do, other than pay servicers to lose paperwork and reject applications?

“Hey, we’re just supporting a ‘nonpartisan organization that promotes growth and fiscal responsibility’! What could possibly go wrong?”

Thanks for the link. DDay, et al – when reporting votes, could you include them, if available? So we can quickly check on our critters…

The CPC budget gets a passing mention.

Where might that be, outside hippie blogs?

I hope they don’t make any campaign promises that the Congress they’re not trying to elect cannot keep

They’re ensuring that they can make all kinds of promises they won’t have to keep, because the DFH didn’t get out there and vote to provide them with the right congress to actually get anything done. Same reason they support blue dogs over true progs.

Since it used to be a free country and standing around wasn’t a crime, most ‘loitering’ laws generally require the authoritahs to have some compelling interest to ask one to move along. Like Baltimore (City Code, Art. 19, § 25-1):

(b) Prohibited loitering.
(1) It shall be unlawful for any person to loiter at, on, or in a public place or place open to the public in such manner:
(i) to interfere with, impede, or hinder the free passage of pedestrian or vehicular traffic;
(ii) to interfere with, obstruct, harass, curse, or threaten or to do physical harm to another member or members of the public; or
(iii) that by words, acts, or other conduct, it is clear that there is a reasonable likelihood a breach of the peace or disorderly conduct shall result.
(2) It shall be unlawful for any person to loiter at a public place or place open to the public and to fail to obey the direction of a uniformed police officer or the direction of a properly identified police officer not in uniform to move on, when not to obey such direction shall endanger the public peace.

to make it appear cheaper in the initial years

Cheaper?! But…but…it SAVES money, and bends the cost curve! /s

Failure to achieve this minimum level of reductions will result in substantial cash payments of up to $800 million that the banks will have to pay to the state.

IOW, she settled for $800M.

Brinker might want to bring us the head of Karen Handel as a peace offering.

What of the news that this was planned, and that Handel was hired specifically to deal with the fallout? Or maybe she was brought in to be the scapegoat, since she’s been pretty silent since the shitstorm hit…

Even before Jane’s blogging, I didn’t support Komen because of their treatment of other NPOs and extortion of walkers (fine print – $2500 minimum to walk; if you don’t get sponsors you have to make up the difference, and they don’t just blow it off). That so little of funds raised goes to grants should make them pariahs in any case.

The case contained multiple legal errors on the part of investigators; in part, they flubbed the case.

koff (*bullshit*), koff…
