Chuck Grassley wants another tax cut.
I swear, these guys are like fucking junkies when it comes to tax cuts. I'm watching CNN, and Grassley's response to criticism that millions of low-income Americans were left out of the Big Tax Cut is to... ready for it?... cut taxes another $60 billion.
And he repeated the ridiculous lie that the reason the poor were left out was that Democrats insisted that the tax cut be no bigger than $350 billion. I have to go lie down now...

It reminds me of a scene from Mel Brooks's disappointing "History of the World."
In that scene, set in ancient Rome, senators are entering the Senate and muttering to each other, "bullshit, bullshit, bullshit." Then, when it's time to discuss social policy for the poor, they jump out of their seats, fling their right hands in the air, and shout out: "Fuck the poor!"
If only our statesmen (and women) were as honest.

Why do Republicans want to destroy America?

Hey Blah3,
Did you check out the results of the new Pew Research poll on world attitudes towards the US and Bush? Hint: it ain't pretty.
Conclusion: if you have the money, I suggest you vacation in the US this year and perhaps every year until Knucklehead is out of office.

Ya know, I've been thinking and I think I understand why Bush is screwing the poor, it's quite simple really. Just like Bush wanted to punish France and Germany for not supporting them, Bush is punishing every single person who didn't vote for him, every single one. See, it all makes sense now (well, at least in the magical upsidedown world we now live in). I'm gonna lie down too, or is it up?
