    It is good stuff like this that makes us click to you every day, TBOGG.

    I sure hope we never lose you!

    If you ever want some validation, make up a tip jar.

  • The best part was not having W hanging around in DC.

    Although it would have been good for raw egg sales in the DC area.

    Just like in 2001 when he was egged so many times in his inaugural parade.

    And we do have to remember how he really helped O get elected in 2008.

    Yeah that gun appreciation day is going just great.

    600 people showed up in Austin.

    Fkng Texas, fer Dog’s sake.

    I guess not that many people believe that one should not have to stop and reload, mid-massacre.

    Gosh, I have had a very special relationship with the Widow Thumb and her 4 Virgins for over 50 years now.

    In fact our relationship has lasted as long as J. Edger Hoover and Clyde Tolson’s.

    Does that make me a polygamist?

    Oh, what will the neighbors think?

    What will my long suffering opposite marriage partner think?

    Gar is really on to something, when he discusses employee ownership. Employee ownership in America is the one way to empower the masses, and particularly the working class. It is a vehicle where the owner receives fair value, and employees receive beneficial ownership as the owner is paid. So the classic conflict with the owner [...]

    It’s just amazing how many American males at least think they have tiny penises.

    When we solve the problem of perceived little dicks, we might do something about guns.

    Not everyone can afford a Porsche.

  • In all fairness to what Phoenix Woman @ 12 and nonplussed @13 are stating, what really happened is that the grocery guy Lueken sold his company at presumably fair market value to an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) which allocates benefits to employees as the acquisition indebtedness is retired. Nevertheless, this is an amazing transformation [...]

  • In response to jnfr @ 3

    I appreciate this might be an attempt at humor, but it is a slam against a really important subject.

    For every undeserving bastard, there are at least 100 people who will need something we won’t at all need anymore.

    If my heart was in Dark And Evil, I would not notice.

    Let’s not forget that medical science was helped by what was learned in his surgery and processes leading up to it.

    We just get to hope that in the first day of his next life, he will be taking a crap in an extremely warm place.

    Finally, a religious hope to believe in.

  • In all fairness; there is not one, but actually 3 employee ownership groups (the ESOP Association, the NCEO, and the ESCA with explanations not necessary; just that they exist) and none of them appear to be slightly interested in actually promoting new ESOP scenarios. So 38 years after employee ownership became part of the Internal [...]

    Thanks for the update.

    You make my daily search through the blogs worthwhile.

    As long as there is a dead Breitbart, we’ll all see you soon.

  • Well, I tried twice and got through twice.

    Each time I identified myself as my conservative friend Ed Wright (I figured I would be more credible as a conservative) and that I live in Martinez, CA 94553 where there are a bunch of brown people.

    I then told the person that I am afraid that those brown people are going to vote today, and I need to alert TTV of that fact and asked for their help in stopping those people from casting ballots.

    The person answering the phone, after the mandatory song on hold, actually told me each time, that they cannot stop registered voters from voters.

    I reminded her in each call that they are being stopped from voting in other states, and should be stopped “here”. That was about the time in each call I was hung up on.

    I may call again, but this is getting boring.

    Not to go too far off topic here, but you congratulate Charlie Pierce on his wonderful first year this week, and he turns around and starts pointing out the truth about Juice Box Jesus, aka Tim Tebow this afternoon.

    Don’t you own that Franchise?

    That’s OK, you were the first and in my opinion when it comes to the truth about “Mr. throws like a junior high girl”, you are still the best.

    Go Niners!!!

    Jimbo, well said.

    TBogg, you are still my #1 visit not to mention I go to Charlie from your blog roll.

    Many birthdays to both of you, you great bastids.

  • In all fairness to Chris and her reasoning skills, when I read today from Charlie Pierce that the Republicans put in language against Agenda 21 in their platform, how could a challenged potential candidate not think she has a chance?

    Every reasoning person in America owes it to Chris and her ilk, to make this a repeat of ’36 and/or 64′ by GETTING OUT AND VOTING!

    This is serious stuff, the mentally ill and those close to it are confused.

    Gosh, I wonder if any of the “down with porn” newly disclosed attitude by RMoney might have something to do with Larry Flynt’s offer of a cool $million for info about those “supposedly purloined” tax returns?

    Either Flynt has data and RMoney is trying a preemptive strike, or he might just be punishing Flynt for getting the press on an issue he wishes would go away.

    It’s said that history repeats itself…

    Do we have the Tom Eagleton of 2012, by any chance?

    I guess it would happen every 40 years.

  • Well, I can testify on a very personal level.

    I turned 65 in June, which meant I was covered under Medicare as of the first.

    Well, in spite of the fact I have to make the biggest contribution to my Medicare, and because I signed up for the supplement and for the drug supplement, my total Medicare contributions are $1,000 PER MONTH less that my private medical insurance under my employer plan for a 64 year old.

    In other words my, insurance costs dropped 61% THANKS TO MEDICARE!

    And Paul Ryan hopes to take that savings away from me. I don’t think so.

    Well given that you got a response from TBogg, I presume you are not the normal Concern Troll.

    But the hypocrisy of saying that Democrats have to be more civilized, and therefore TBogg, is dumb to the third power.

    This is politics, and Harry (and TBogg)is playing it as it should be played.

    When it looks like they should be thrown a life preserver, one must put that anvil out there instead.

    Think of it as how Romney can demonstrate his mettle in his responses.

    Yeah, the most awkward person in the world showing his mettle.

    First of all, did everyone read his 2010 Form 8606, Part II to really determine he did not make such a conversion? Easy to miss, as it is at the top of the page.

    Second, there has been a veritable cadre of advisers ever since the ROTH IRA rules first came out, that have been showing how to get around the rules on wealthy people, making very substantial conversions much before 2010. The easiest method was/is to make the conversion, where all of the other income on page 1 has been sheltered away for the year.

    Then, some of the mistaken advice is just hitting published Tax Court Cases as I write.

    Something made the McCain campaign shy away from him; so I don’t think it was a 2010 conversion, if he does have his funds in a ROTH IRA.

    In response also to onitgoes, I think the ROTH IRA rules have always worked best for rich children, not the 99%. Bill Roth had no empathy for the 99%, anyway.

    It is such a shame that poor Chief Justice John Roberts’ facts get brought out because Mitt Romney won’t release his tax returns.

    But, we do have to remember what happened when he last released a bunch of returns.

    Yep, 2008 in his quest for Veep and then Sarah Palin was selected over him.

    The controversy rages through yesterday over that fact.

    Finally, we will never know if/that his $100 Million IRA is really a ROTH IRA, earning money tax free for the rest of his life and his wife’s life.

    Well, would he do that?, of course!
