In defense of the flat tax.

The poor. Look at ‘em there. Whooping it up on my dime. Just look at them. Eating. Getting basic medical attention. Gah. What a life. Sometimes makes me wish I was poor. How can we fix this? How can we make this system fair? Even things out, you know? Can’t let the poor have all [...]

Attention world: You’re nuts

Yow. For some reason this freak reminds me of a character – that I believe was on the Commander Tom Show – that wore this ultra-creepy skin tight suit of the human internal anatomy and talked about health & fitness. I was always scared shitless as a kid, Sunday mornings, watching this poofy-haired w

God’s gonna getcha, Senator!

Here’s a little sampling of the town hall looniness; this bit from Lebanon, PA. I have to hand it to Arlen Spector for keeping his cool and trying to deal sensibly with this crackpot.

Swaztikas?!?

Wow. These town halls are really getting nuts. It’s unfortunate, with all of the issues that this country faces, that the people most easily riled into action are the complete kooks. That these willfully misinformed rabble rousers could derail the chance of getting a fair and decent health care syst
