PUBLIC SERVICE ALERT (Feb. 8, 2010)
1. The Federal government is closed today in the National Capital Area. Please let me know if you notice.
END PUBLIC SERVICE ALERT
2. Today’s tax system was shaped by sadists who were trying to be nice.
3. At your core, what is one of your defining beliefs? “I believe that the individual human life matters. I believe that human freedom is a constituent element of a good life — of human happiness — and is, consequently, intrinsically valuable.”
4. Regarding Tea Party Convention : One caller to C-Span – which aired nearly the entire convention – said the sight of primarily white and older self-described “patriots” frightened her. She said the gathering looked like a lynch mob.
5. TENNESSEE TOWN TAKES DOWN TRAFFIC CAMERAS BECAUSE THEY’RE LOSING MONEY: Michael Silence comments: “But I thought the cameras were put up to save us from ourselves.” Only if it could be done at a profit. . . . UPDATE: Reader Andrew Smith writes: “How funny would a suit against the city to force the cameras to remain – in the name of public safety? Double-edged sword, certainly, but forcing those companies into greater losses would be a thing of beauty.” Heh.
6. Just as Sarah Palin is being treated as the political equal of Barak Obama, Congressional Republicans are now the political equals of Congressional Democrats.
7. Jay Cost: “America is not ungovernable. Her President has simply not been up to the job.”
8. Why are liberals so condescending?" Gerard Alexander asked over the weekend in a much-discussed Washington Post op-ed. To the extent that liberalism has come to be synonymous with the belief that government should impose "academically improved solutions" on an ignorant public, Alexander is dealing in the realm of tautology. He might as well ask why liberals are so liberal.
9. The words "retarded" and "retard" feel threatening, she said. Eglé identifies herself this way: "I am a powerful leader with an intellectual disability." I agree with the last part
