Send Your Tax Dollars to Red China!

Spend them at Wal-Mart, the focus of evil in the modern world. Actually, as I think Bill Maher put it, the only way to help the American economy with your tax rebate check would be to spend it on hookers, meth, or Indian Casinos.

Elites Denounce Reality as "Elitist"

Oh, Good God. This is by far this stupidest thing yet ginned into a "-gate" in this whole stupid election cycle. Only in 2008 America could it be a greater scandal to refer to the fact that working class people are getting screwed than the actual fact that WORKING CLASS PEOPLE ARE GETTING SCREWED! Congratulations to Obama for having the presence of mind to not physically roll his eyes in response to questions about this "scandal."

UPDATE: Rural Pennsylvanians fail to be outraged by Obama's "elitism," no doubt to the chagrin of FOXNews.

UPDATE 2: The real insult to the working class? Decades of neglect by the elites. Meanwhile, carrying the RWHMMC hysteria to official shark-jumping levels, Bill Kristol declares Obama to be a Marxist. No, seriously. The Marxist Brothers: A Day at the Racist.

OBSCENE!

I admit that I haven't been following the story of the Houston janitor's strike very closely. However, it definately caught my eye that 44 protestors arrested for alleged CLASS B MISDEMEANORS had their bonds set at $888,888 EACH. This is just about the most disgusting, repulsive abuse of the law I have ever seen in my legal career. Accused murderers don't get bonds set this high! The District Attorney who requested this should be immediately fired and then disbarred; the magistrate who granted this abomination should be impeached, removed from office and then disbarred. Pandagon has allegations of abuse, including sexual harassment of the protestors. You can read more about the Houston janitors and their grievances here.

UPDATE: BOR reports the strike is over and the janitors appear to have won. No report yet on the Houston 44...

Kay Bailey Hutchison: Class Warrior

From the Carpetbagger Report:

Last night featured all of the predictable rhetoric and arguments, but my nominee for the dumbest comment of the debate comes by way of Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas): "[W]e are turning our back on the middle-class and poor people in this country who depend on the minimum wage and death-tax relief."

Right. That would be all the desperately poor millionaire heiresses yearning to breath free.
Just one more reason to love Barbara Ann.

Paris Hilton Relief Act Dies in Senate

Republicans vow to continue fight to relieve the crushing tax burden on dozens of vacuous, amoral, dimwitted heiresses.
