Shocker! Democrats like like rugs about tax cuts.

Behold!

Or maybe you prefer this take?

You're shocked, I know.

Amazing though, the number of people who fall for this every so often.  Like they say - ignorance is curable but stupid is forever.

OK, so the delay is over.

But really, isn't this the same crap Henry Paulson was trying to sell us (and was resoundingly rejected) 6-months ago?

So in other words, the super-smartest guy in the world needed 3-months to re-package what was rejected by his "hair on fire" predecessor - is that about right?

And as an aside - if this is the solution to a fantastically mis-diagnosed problem, then how in Heaven's name can it possibly "work" in the sense of actually getting the economy moving again?

Update: It would appear that Turbo Tax may have been cribbing from Greg Mankiw as well.

I'm starting to think this IS the plan.

Delays, delays, nothing but delays.

You know, it's almost as if these guys have absolutely no idea what the fuck they're doing.

Oh, and in case you were wondering...

Gee, it's a good thing "the adults" are back in charge. Eh?

Yep, good thing that Culture of Corruption^TM is a thing of the past.

Uh, what was that?

Kansas lawmakers want to know whether a Johnson County nonprofit used its political connections to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to get a special funding increase last fall.

Holy. Shit.

It does beg the question though - is there anyone, fucking anyone, left in the Democrat Party who doesn't have ethical/legal/tax troubles?

With all the so-called "creative geniuses" in the Democrat Party...

... one would be forgiven for thinking they could come-up with a campaign a whole lot less lame than this...


Wow - did it take them a whole, what? hour to think that up?

It does raise a somewhat important point through - is this, or is this not, the thinnest-skinned Administration in the history of history?

So much for St. Barack "Mr. Post-Partisan" Obama, eh?

"Never waste a good crisis"

Time to play everyone's favorite game - try to think of what would be the media reaction if a Republican said...

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told an audience Friday "never waste a good crisis," and highlighted the opportunity of rebuilding economies in a greener, less energy-intensive way.

If fact, isn't this precisely the sort of language the paranoid left-moronosphere explicitly believed was being used on a daily basis by Chimpy and Darth Cheney?  And, what, no outrage over this from The Shrew?

Color me spectacularly unsurprised.

Oh yeah, this is a guaranteed winner.

What could possibly go wrong?

The Obama administration on Thursday marked a clear break with George W. Bush’s policy of isolating Iran by declaring its intention to invite the Islamic republic to an international conference on stabilising Afghanistan.

Hillary Clinton, secretary of state, announced in Brussels that Tehran was likely to be invited to a meeting that would bring together all “interested parties” on Afghanistan. Administration officials later confirmed Iran would be on the guest list.

Why don't we just invite the Taliban directly and cut-out the middle jihadists?

But remember all, it's Republicans who are "anti-science"

Good fucking Googa-Mooga on Toast.

OK, so let's see - Oil people are evil, nuclear is off the table, coal is "dirty", unicorn farts ain't gonna get it done, and we've been after magic windmills and sun-power plants for pretty much my entire fucking life and we're nowhere near a solution there, either.

So I suppose "Change" means boosting the price of the single most important commodity on the planet (Energy, yes - try growing large piles of food without it, sweetheart) in the midst of a global economic collapse.  All because of some fairy-tales about icky nuclear power.

Man, we really dodged a bullet with that Palin chick, didn't we?
