Is Jonathan Chait’s article what Insty linked a bucket of dumb or am I supposed to read more than the three paragraphs I landed on while I skimmed the first page of it before I decide I wonder.
i was sort of chuckling earlier when hughhewitt felt much obliged to tell mr. NEWT that mr hughhewitt didn’t think much of mr. NEWT callin’ O! a DICKtator. yea boy(oops no racial connotations here) callin’ for the head of a private company makes you quit just like G. Washington and some guy named arnold.
I made it to the bottom of the first page, hf. I didn’t notice it getting any smarter, so I stopped.
Takeaway is that Barky isn’t going to be able to steal as much of your money as he’d planned, because the Democrat congressdoofs have plans to steal your money for other things.
yo jeff let’s do the “capitalism thing” by way of intent:
When we make the case for capitalism, we are defending the political principle of freedom, not arguing for one kind of rigid economic organisation over another. The debate is being hopelessly muddied by those late converts to free enterprise – politicians like Mr Brown who believe that markets should only survive if they can be made to serve Left-wing purposes.
So the idea that the arguments which will dominate the summit are purely economic is quite wrong: this is about politics. The fundamental disagreement between the United States and Europe amounts to nothing less than the question of whether the great 200 year old experiment in national democracy – government of the people, by the people, and for the people – will survive.
A few years ago, Budweiser shot a beautiful Christmas commercial right here on Telluride Colorado’s Main Street. Striking, sentimental, whimsical, bell-jangling “production values.” When the production shoot was finished, town workers (on our tax-payer dime) had to clean up all the Clysdale’s immense horse puckey “afterthoughts.” Obamanomics in a nutshell.
It’s amazing someone can write an editorial like that and approximately .02% of the commenting viewers get the fucking point at all.
We are not only fucked, but I have no idea when the fucking is going to stop. It certainly doesn’t appear as if we’re going in a not-getting-fucked direction.
is there a bigger horse than clydesdales?
i think there is..but my brain ain’t

The biggest horse I ever saw was a Belgian. It was something like 19.5 hands high and was casually chewing a 2×8″ board in half when I met it. Pleasant horse, actually.

“In many ways he lives a life that is beyond the comprehension of most of his car owners. Platoons of subordinates jump when he twitches. Garages filled with gleaming limousines and beaming chauffeurs stand ready to transport him wherever he desires. A private 18-plane air force of multi-engined, red-white-and-blue airplanes is at his disposal. … High-salaried assistants smooth his path, greet him wherever he arrives, order his drinks, fetch his newspapers.”
They always gotta rattle that cage, don’t they? But substitute “voters” for “car owners” in the first sentence and who are we describing?
David Horowitz thinks I’m falling prey to Obama Derangement Syndrome:
Even as astute a conservative thinker as Mark Steyn has been swept up in the tide that thinks Obama is a “transformative†radical. But look again at his approach to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. In both cases, as noted, he is carrying out the Bush policies – the same that he once joined his fellow Democrats in condemning. And that should be reassuring to anyone concerned about where he is heading as commander-in-chief.
It’s true that the Pentagon’s unmanned drones are dropping Obama greeting cards on hapless villages in the Pakistani tribal lands even more than in the Bush days. But I would argue that — like Gordon Brown’s non-working DVDs — that’s a function more of the president’s indifference to foreign affairs and the wider world. His priorities are domestic — as one might expect from a community organizer — and in that arena he is certainly a transformative radical. If I sound deranged, it’s because I’ve lived under both the policies (in Britain and Europe) and the charismatic leader (in Trudeau’s Canada).
First, such tax deductions are a highly inefficient way to fund social programs. It is far more cost-effective for the government to simply increase supplemental nutrition benefits (formerly food stamps) that are immediately redeemed at for-profit food stores than it is to give massive tax deductions that only marginally increase donations to feeding charities, which then have to split such donated money between administrative costs and food purchases.
Second, voluntary private charity is a less equitable way to solve community problems. While many people assume that the rich amass their wealth on their own, the truth is that their business interests are almost always aided by public efforts such as roads, bridges and ports through which they ship their goods or public schools that educate their workforces. Given that even the wealthiest benefit greatly from this modern “public commons,” it is wrong to give them unilateral power to decide whether their taxpayer-subsidized donations should go to, say, well-heeled operas or lavish care of pets rather than to organizations that meet more pressing communal needs.
Indeed, Carin, if you leave people free to spend and donate as they see fit, they’ll do all sorts of things not approved of by right-thinking people. While the retrograde amongst us might believe in moral suasion to address this state of affairs, again right-thinkers cut the Gordian knot and apply the use of state compulsion as the One True Remedy. We just need to get our minds around it.
You know who the real ingrates are? Those fucking students in Tienanmen. There’s the “most legitimate voice of the entire community,” feeding them, clothing them, educating them, building roads for them, giving them jobs…and all they do is bellyache about freedom and shit. Hell, running them over with tanks was too damn good for ’em. Just ask Chas Freeman, he’ll tell you.
Also, secondary to the big “we’re fucked” point, is that this asshole thinks it is wrong that rich folks support things that they like, but don’t help “the poor.” You know, they donate to the Opera, the zoo, the museum. Stuff like that. Selfish bastards.
I agree Carin we have to start redefining words too in order for people like you to get along. Nationalization is just too pesky, how about stewardship or oversight?
I really like what you’ve done with the word “invest” Journolist. My husband looked at me funny, though, when I said I needed some money to go invest at the grocery store.
Carin, that thing pissed me off, too. I’ve run into lefties who spouted that kind of shit, but apparently it’s widespread (and respectable!) enough to make it into the NYT.
I am very proud of my work Carin and I have been very successful lately. Ignoring how the stimulus bill included the AIG bonuses took real skill on my part. Also do you notice how totally black the media is, and I mean like North Korea powergrid black, ignoring the Constitutionality of ANYTHING going on now? Here look at this and just be amazed. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/Beyond-AIG-A-Bill-to-let-Big-Government-Set-Your-Salary-42158597.html
Oh, and what pisses me off the is assumption of collectivism. People aren’t entitled to the benefits of their own labor — no, ya see, rich people use the same streets as everyone else, so somehow they’re not entitled to liberty.
Fuck it. The goddamned left wants to enslave anyone who doesn’t volunteer to be a serf.

Yeah, the comment section is a disaster. I’m praying that there is lots of astro-turf in there.
is there a bigger horse than clydesdales?
I think Shire horses are the largest, but I could be wrong.
Percherons are pretty freakin’ big, too.
There isn’t a horse with hairier ankles.
Or are those just some kinda gay German beer socks they put on ’em?
Is the joke not about that? ‘Bout penis?
I avoid horses. They’re confused in a scary way. So I’ve never seen a horse penis.
Except in that one video. But I didn’t see that.
DID NOT.

Molon – I think the point was that someone got to use the town for their filming and left the mess behind for the town residents to pay to clean up…

They may have left that behind, but they sure don’t waste the piss.
While the One tries his hand at centralized planning and controling the commanding heights, Megyn McCain is giving out cold sores.

Anyone see this? Linked at the corner.
oh my fucking dirty socialist god, Carin. Freedom, right here in our little country, despised.
Orwell had an anemic imagination I think, bless him.
In America, the government is the most legitimate voice of the entire community.
If you have any tears, now’s the time for them I think.
Indeed, Carin, if you leave people free to spend and donate as they see fit, they’ll do all sorts of things not approved of by right-thinking people. While the retrograde amongst us might believe in moral suasion to address this state of affairs, again right-thinkers cut the Gordian knot and apply the use of state compulsion as the One True Remedy.

Joel Berg is James Claggart in the flesh.
If charities want to prove that they value the public interest over their self-interest, they, too, should get on board.
You can substitute anything for “charities” in that sentence. Fascism is flexible like that.
You know who the real ingrates are? Those fucking students in Tienanmen.

which then have to split such donated money between administrative costs and food purchases.
‘Cause we all know that the government has no administrative overhead at all. Nope, no sirree!
Is it still megalomania if I am that good?
It is really horrible. Fucking socialist, anti-American, we’re doomed bullshit.
But, then I remember … let’s not become the left. Like with our criticism of Teh One, I think it’s best that we express our unhappiness and concern.
Also, secondary to the big “we’re fucked” point, is that this asshole thinks it is wrong that rich folks support things that they like, but don’t help “the poor.” You know, they donate to the Opera, the zoo, the museum. Stuff like that. Selfish bastards.
