Texas is a different story. Texas has low taxes — and no state income taxes — and a much smaller government. Its legislature meets for only 90 days every two years, compared with California’s year-round legislature. Its fiscal condition is sound. Public employee unions are weak or nonexistent.

A reader asks a good question about O’Brien’s deal:

So a joker working for a company bailed out (indirectly) by the government gets $45 million — for failing.  Where’s the outrage, Captain Populist?

I don’t have any problem with O’Brien’s deal, though I wish he wasn’t getting the shaft (he hasn’t been great on The Tonight Show, but he’s funnier than Leno).

But if O’Brien was a Wall Street guy gettingt $45 million for failing, Obama would be all over it.

An excellent presentation disputing man-made global warming using nothing but pure science and statistics by Professor Bob Carter (Australian geologist). It would be very difficult to dispute his facts. In this video he pretty much proves that over 10,000 years the earth has been cooling. Looking at shorter periods of time one can find what ever they want in the numbers. There have been many periods of rapid warming and cooling over this period. He examines the data concerning climate change, Global warming, the problems with the idea that CO2 is driving climate change and global warming, & examples of the scientific data being ignored over popularist views about CO2 causing climate change and Global warming;…the hypothesis fails the test.

I so grew up in the wrong decade, the toys we had sucked!!!
This is so true!!!!

Spend more. Get less. We’re the city that knows how.

Despite its good intentions, San Francisco is not leading the country in gay marriage. Despite its good intentions, it is not stopping wars. Despite its spending more money per capita on homelessness than any comparable city, its homeless problem is worse than any comparable city’s. Despite its spending more money per capita, period, than almost any city in the nation, San Francisco has poorly managed, budget-busting capital projects, overlapping social programs no one is certain are working, and a transportation system where the only thing running ahead of schedule is the size of its deficit.

Dick Cheney just needs to crawl back under his rock….

Paul Eaton on Cheney via nsnetwork.org

“The only time Cheney and his cabal of foreign policy ‘experts’ have anything to say is when they feel compelled to protect this failed legacy. While President Obama is tasked with cleaning up the considerable mess they left behind, they continue to defend torture or rewrite a legacy of indifference on Afghanistan. Simply put, Mr. Cheney sees history throughout extremely myopic and partisan eyes.”

This is total fucking BS…. lets see lets get Human health care taken care of before we waste money on pets.  Pets are a luxury and there for you do no get a tax break for a pet, sorry.    abc.com

A bill making the rounds on Capitol Hill marries two feel-good propositions — tax cuts and pet ownership — to generate a novel idea: A tax break of up to $3,500 per person for pet care expenses.

Interesting article over on The New Republic on Betsy McCaughey.  It is a little long but fascinating.

ALBERTVILLE, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama woman has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child after police say she let her daughter ride in a cardboard box on top of their van.

Smith said the woman told police the box was too big to go inside the van, and that her daughter was inside the box to hold it down.

Smith said the mother told officers it was safe because she had the box secured to the van with a clothes hanger.

Lesley Stahl had an interesting segment Sunday on the growing coal ash problem in the world.   The EPA and the coal industry should be working to get this Toxic waste under control.  How can they say coal is a “Clean” energy resource when it does this?    LINK

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC), Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK), House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA), and Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL) have all been promoting alternative “foreign policy” to other countries of the world.   TPM

Amid the shiny stripper poles, strobe-lit stages and scantily-clad performers at Rachel’s Gentlemen’s Club, you’ll find Barbara and Sylvia, two old beauties who come for the free food and flu shots — and stay for the ambiance.     Every year around this time, the flesh den in the small town of Cassleberry, north of Orlando, offers the shots in a setting way more exciting than a sterile doctor’s office.And the return of the complimentary lunch buffet has geriatrics coming in droves.    whtq.com

They should give everyone flu shots… would be a great way to get people to get them… hell I might be more inclined.
