BREAKING NEWS…..DOGS DEMAND EQUAL TIME

Okay, let me get my mind right here. The Republicans are holding the middle class hostage but it is Obama that is making the demand (that tax rates must rise on the wealthy as part of any deal). Isn’t it the hostage taker who issues demands in most hostage situations? Am I missing something here? Isn’t it Obama holding the middle class tax cuts hostage to his demand that the Republicans agree to a tax hike on a subset of all taxpayers or else all taxpayers will see their taxes rise?
This Obama/democrat Newspeak stuff is very confusing.

@ Guggi:
New York times wringing its hands over the fact that some people are being allowed to keep more of the money they earn. Problem is governments always do static analysis, assuming people will continue to behave in the same manner if taxes are raised or lowered. Fact is that people adapt their behaviors and the static analysis is almost always wrong. The other error in this article is the basic premise that those businesses actually pay taxes. What really happens is that the cost of those taxes gets passed on to the people who buy the products from those companies. Higher taxes results in higher prices.
Petraeus on his way back to fame
One would have thought he would have so much sense of decensy NOT to write a book, but no, as always he’s choosing the worst opportunity.
I’m not going up there to look, but I would bet serious money there is cat fur on the roof of my house. God knows it’s everywhere else…
@ Mike C.:
A family of 4 could live off of my lint roller budget…
I used to buy a large quantity of cat treats, to save money I saved the old containers and used gormet cat food.
Then I ran out and used the outside cat’s food as treats for the inside cat.
Now I am feeding the inside cat his own food from downstairs as treats and he appears to like that even better than the outside cats food.
I prefer free range cat

The great 19th-century satirist Ambrose Bierce defined a revolution as “an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.” He would understand events in Egypt very well.
In the signature revolution of the Arab Spring, the country turned its back on a secular dictatorship only to fall into the arms of what looks like a budding Muslim Brotherhood dictatorship. Meet the new pharaoh, same as the old pharaoh. Except Egypt’s old form of misgovernment may soon look progressive by comparison.
Muslim Brotherhood president Mohamed Morsi’s decree neutering the judiciary is the latest act in his steady consolidation of power. While he assiduously builds a dictatorship, the Obama administration just as assiduously tells itself bedtime stories. It’s a perfect division of labor — he goes about his empire-building with a clear-eyed realism; we consider it through a gauzy lens of delusion.
*snip*
Since the end of Hosni Mubarak, the air has been thick with descriptions of the Muslim Brotherhood and Morsi as moderates. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper called the Muslim Brotherhood “largely secular.” If he had been speaking of the Church of England, he might have had a point.
*snip*
Morsi staged his latest power grab on Thanksgiving Day in the immediate aftermath of working with Obama to get a cease-fire in hostilities between Hamas (a Muslim Brotherhood offshoot) and Israel. A New York Times piece reported that in his talks with Morsi, “Mr. Obama felt they were making a connection.” How sweet.
“He was impressed with the Egyptian leader’s pragmatic confidence.” And who can resist the lure of pragmatic confidence?
“He sensed,” the paper continued, in a gushing tone, “an engineer’s precision with surprisingly little ideology.”
This is the most embarrassing man-crush misjudgment of a noxious foreign leader since George W. Bush claimed to have peered into Vladimir Putin’s soul.
Obama famously disdained Mitt Romney. But the devotee of an Islamist organization about to stage a self-coup? Now, that’s a man he can work with.
The business about an engineer’s precision is priceless. What did the president expect? Morsi to try to convert him to Islam and harangue him about Malia and Sasha not wearing head scarves?
*snip*
The administration’s reaction to Morsi’s decree has been, “Well, golly, we hope everyone can talk things through.” In its mealy-mouthed noncondemnations, the Obama administration does no favors to the real moderates in the streets of Egypt pushing to get Morsi to back down.
But delusion is hard to give up. We always want to believe that other people are just like us and have, at bottom, the same practical concerns. It’s simply not true of fanatics. “This revolution was not about the price of watermelons,” Ayatollah Khomeini once told an aide worried about inflation.
Obama is subject to a more personal fantasy, which is the belief that he is uniquely suited to convince people hostile to us that we want to be their friends. This might make for nice phone calls, but it won’t change the convictions of a Mohamed Morsi.

@ RIX:
Yep they get passed over and hasn’t obama been cleaning house concerning generals??
not sure I give a crap about what’s happening with Morsi in Egypt…they can go to hell today for all I care…what I do care about is BO’s support for Morsi…good old BO has the ME so fucked up at this point that American influence is gonna get a lot of people killed….somebody should ask him if we have armed troops ready to protect our state department people
@ heysoos:
Well thanks hey…I just thought it was a good piece and no telling how much the MB has infilterated the WH..because members of MB has been to the White House several times. Is there anything I post that doesn’t have you posting some trash talk to me?

@ Lily:
Seems unlikely to me.
The part about paying them to assault women, that is. Muslims generally do that for free, after all…
@ lobo91:
True…they do that on their on…if he is paying them even a small amount of money I wonder if it is the money we are giving them..our tax-dollars at work.
@ lobo91:
Also as far as the women yeah they would do that for free..I imagine it is the men they are beating up is what the payment is for. Just saying.
new open thread is up…

We shouldn’t be giving them anything much less money. We have our own money problems and we are giving them money..it’s insane.
