Some more links

A very interesting take on the health care system.

California is so fucked.

The rally may soon be over. Anyone ready for Dow 6500?

The world economy hinges on American consumer? We are sooooo fucked.

The Debt Puppy! Seriously, read this and the link in it.

Why we pay taxes: summary, and detail.

More on the soda tax.

An amusing account of a MASSIVE 50-person teabagging.

If this guy is a "journalist"...

Obama, transparency, and civil liberties: FAIL.

Benen is being generous when he calls them "low" information voters.

Government: always criminal. ALWAYS. Do you know what shortening yellows does, other than increase potential ticket revenue from red-light violations? It increases accidents and deaths. But hell, more $74 fines for Shittown. Woo-HOO! Who fucking cares who dies?

The smartcar: unsafe. But don't expect to hear that from publications that want Mercedes advertising dollars.

Holy crap I want this car, $2000 routine service be damned.

Winguts lying again.

Linka dinka doo

Mark Cuban gets it right.

Bill James on the Orioles and other things.

Tweak your Google Image searches.

In praise of strong coffee.

The next bubble to burst?

Beating back the the "lower taxes will raise federal revenue" bullshit, one blog post at a time.

Worst wresting character ever. I can't believe this is real, but that guy was apparently a real WWF character. Is that supposed to be intimidating? Should I be afraid he's going to get glitter on me?

"We cannot have a better first person to attack health care reform than someone who ran a company that ripped off the government of hundreds of millions of dollars." Awesome. A criminal former health care exec is the best representative the right wing can find to fight health care reform.

Republicans - criminally insane? Or inveterate liars?

1619 federal charges against The Hair.

Do you people know how embarrassing it is to have George Will be one of your fraternity brothers?

Joe the Dumber strikes again. Christ these people are ridiculous.

Yes, this is why I see 5-6 troopers and sheriffs a day on my commute. Tickets and fines are the only revenue a lot of municipalities can increase quickly and easily.

While the rich get richer...

Tax code changes will make 2007 the last year for:

• The tuition and fees deduction. Bummer if you have a kid in college or are doing continuing education for a better degree.
• But the teachers get screwed too. This is the last year for the educator expense deduction, which lets schoolteachers to write off up to $250 in out-of-pocket classroom expenses.
• And this is the last year to claim breaks on home energy improvement purchases. This means more energy efficient windows, water heaters, etc.

It gets more and more obscene.
