Pelosi praises Bush

This recent quote from Nancy Pelosi about George W. Bush is all you need to know about the Democrats' expanding Gestapoism: "The Bush family, it's because of their humanity, their faith, their generosity of spirit, their compassion. Once again, it's an honor to be associated with President Bush in this."

Well, there ya have it, folks. The country's leading Democrat just praised the worst so-called President in the country's history.

Beshear signs Republican tax bill

Well, at least his first 3 months in office were good. They were certainly better than the last 3 years.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear - a so-called Democrat - has signed a regressive Republican tax bill into law. This bill cuts the state income tax from 4.5% to 4% as part of a long-term effort to eliminate the income tax completely and replace it with a higher sales tax to hit working families harder. This comes several years after Republicans gutted the graduated income tax system. The old system levied a higher tax on those with higher incomes, but Kentucky now punishes the working poor by imposing a flat tax.

This is also while some states - under both Democrats and Republicans - are finally looking into lowering sales taxes. So Kentucky is becoming an outlier on the right.

Let me guess. I bet Beshear signed this bill to appease the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce. That's his excuse for everything.

We'd like to see stronger constitutional protections of a progressive tax structure and against regressive taxation. The newly signed law is actually a form of taxation without representation, for the rich aren't exactly underrepresented in government.

Can read...Can read...

Hi there! Long time no pee!

I mean that last sentence literally, given the topic of this entry.

For the past 10 days or so - since Saturday, January 28 - I've felt as if I've begun to recover from several years of cognitive impairment and extreme fatigue. I have a theory that I was suffering from uremic poisoning and that it began to clear up when I passed a kidney stone that morning. This condition would have eventually led to kidney failure had it not apparently cleared.

This apparent recovery means I'll finally be able to catch up on my reading.

Unfortunately, I flushed the kidney stone before I could mail it.

Oregon! Idaho! Nevada! Game day bucket go boom!

Time to blow bubbles in your beer!

The first 201 photos and videos from September's trip to the Western U.S. were already released in the last photo shoot. But for months, you've probably been dancing around your den, chanting, "The rest of it! The rest of it!" You wanted the other 258 items without delay!

But now the second and final photo shoot from that trip is up, and you can roll around in its splendor! So point your pooper here...
