Barack Obama is taking your picture

Obama Tax Cut

Don’t believe the lies. Obama will lower your taxes. Unless you make over, say, $500,000. Then you’ll get taxed. Suckers. But if I made over $500,000, well, I think there’d be a little to go around. http://alchemytoday.com/obamataxcut/

Donkey talk

glbropqxitan!

My head hurts…

from all this weirdly serious posturing and talk of NUCLEAR war over Poland and South Ossettia & Georgia. WTF? I guess it’s enough to make me say something on this damned website 2 days in a row. Who are these people?

I’m not pro-Russia, but

Why doesn’t the President of Georgia go on Charlie Rose instead of Larry King? Oh, right, there’d be hard questions. I just don’t want a provocation or thought of nuclear war with Russia… who, by the way, I thought was an ally, not an “ally.”

deep thought

The US can send humanitarian aid to Georgia (the one on the other side of the world, natch) in a matter of a few days and risking even greater tensions with Russia, but we couldn’t get aid to Louisiana and Mississippi for weeks after Katrina.

CHARLIE ROSE!

Put this on during the nightly “news hour” on network tv. Talking. About real stuff. Normal talking. Informed normal talking.

There was an abundance of people on the subways with iced coffees this morning.

Although I’ve asked before (albeit via Twitter), who will heed my call re: buying me a private island in the Caribbean? I’ll help you with the searching and paperwork. All I need is funding. Pls? Thx!

biofuels not so good, maybe

Thoughts on the food crisis: “It takes 528 pounds of corn to fill the tank of one SUV. The same amount could feed one person for a year.” Read a few more points here.
