I guess the NY Times should change their slogan to "All the news you want to read and approve of".....Or maybe we should institute anti-mockery laws? Maybe sell 'Mockery offsets" to those companies that use more mockery than the public is comfortable with. Or we could just have a single state approved single newspaper, that prints everything the government wants you to read.................We'll call it the 'Vanco Times'.........sounds good! May as well get the chimps to type it.

Now there's an untapped tax base...Churches. It would be nice if they'd step in and practice what they preach; 'fairness'; and pay taxes.

..........simply choose NOT to be offended by it!...Unless of course, you have no control over your thought processes. In which case, feel free to simply 'react', much in the same way my dog reacts to the electric can opener...

So, here we go again, right back to the Clinton era of redfining words to fit an agenda. Sorry; "nationalization" means 'state ownership or control of a private institution'. That's what it is; depending of course, on what your definition of 'is' is. But I'm sure the spin meisters can come up with a 'non threatening' term, that leaves us all feeling warm and fuzzy. I find it somewhat bizzare that some of the same politicians that got us into this mess with Fannie and Freddy, now think they're capable of running the banks.....Maybe they're right, after all they've done so well with Social Security, Medicare and Medicade, the Post office, Amtrak, and oh yeah, that 78 billion dollar overpayment to the banks just a few weeks ago. Will there be anyone going to jail for that screw up?

Being, you know....DEAD!...But regardless, the authors of the stimulus bill are Pelosi and Reid....NOT Obama....I took the cartoon to mean the House and Congress. Meaning, the bill sucks, and a buncha chimps must have put it together. But hey, those that want to find racism always will. And it gives good old Al sharpton another 15 minutes in the spotlight doing what he does best: pissing off and dividing people...

Jeeeese, that was painful! Joan, you really think that was funny? Hey SNL; call AP when you come up with a punchline!....Belushi and Farley would be rolling over in their graves after seeing that crap! And Ackroyd's not been funny since the Blues Brothers days...........

Your basically wasting your time trying to explain the hypocricy of the Barney Franks' and the Maxine Water's of the world to the Salonistas. They're firmly locked within their framework of thinking and they're not budging come hell or high water. This is not just politics and opinions; it's a religion.

You're talking to folks that think the government buying down the principal on a mortgage is a good idea! Or simply put: buying houses for people with taxpayer money! There's nothing like rewarding stupidity and greed with a bailout. Gee if I'd known this was coming I would have bought twice the house I'm living in now. But, silly me; I chose to live within my means.... ..... I guess Barney Frank has gotten so used to grabbing for his ankles, he expects every American taxpayer to follow suit; no questions asked..... What a sad, pathetic, entitlement minded society we're turning into..

...Say no more...This is exactly what's wrong in Washington....... Get ready for the first round of Congressional hearings on the 'misappropriation of stimulus funds'.....I give it six months before we see Barney Frank sweating and wringing his hands on CNN....

...it's the least I can do to protect Lady Liberty during the national screwing we're all in for.........

....just doesn't make good fiscal sense..and setting some arbitrary deadline for Presidents day is ridiculous and irresponsible. That's not good governing.... We've already lost 78 billion in the last banking bailout bill due to the same kind of behavior, yet we're in a big hurry to do the same again. How long before the first Congressional hearing into 'mismanagment of funds' with this turkey? 6 months? .... This is the largest bill ever passed. It's time to sit down and go through the damn thing line by line....otherwise it's the same old garbage; different political party..

....has been bought with the promise of money for the state and a more secure political future?

What a shocking revelation! A politician selling out for a few bucks....

I really must take issue with you on the phrase "prepared food" If that's what Mcdonalds burgers actually are; 'food' and 'prepared', then my sofa cushion must qualify as a delectable dessert.....

....but at least he's getting it done. I'd find a no talent jerk infinitely more annoying. And it's part of the shtick, so what's the big deal? Not warm and fuzzy enough? As for the 'Bunny incident" At least he's honest enough to tell his kids how it got there. How many parents would be willing to do the same?...."Gee kids, they stuck an electrified cattle prod into Elsies nether region; just to make you a Happy Meal"...... Not very Mclikely......

What's he an expert in, running a company into the ground? Or is it because GE's got a huge financial stake in having this administration institute carbon cap and trade legislation? It's good to see there's no conflicts of interest going on....Same old crap; different faces....

I didn't see a picture of my house that needs re-siding in there; or my 14 year old car that could use replacing, or even my credit card balance that's approaching national debt levels.....Good work Socialists. It truly is, as Winston Churchill said, "An equal sharing of the misery"...

...Your hard earned "milk and cookies"... And...."That's the whole point. No seriously. that's the point".... Big Government is here to carry your sorry asses into the future. Line up lemmings!
