'Non-Binding' Bailout (FROM: The Wall Street Journal) President Bush kicked that can right down the road and, in the process, kicked conservatives right in the teeth. Instead of permitting General Motors, Chrysler and Ford to undergo an orderly bankruptcy, Bush wrote a check for $17 billion after Congress failed to act. Supposedly, the companies have until March to comply with a few terms and conditions, but even those were deemed "non-binding," and you know what that means -- nothing will be dNew York Times starts catching up to iSteve

I stumbled upon this contemptible piece of buffoonery at NRO today: How to end the South's economic war on the North, by one Michael Lind, in Salon. Seldom does one encounter such a perfect combination of regional prejudice, economic ignorance, class hatred, and overrarching dimfuckwittery in one small précis. Nor does one expect such bigoted tripe to be foisted upon the unwitting by such a nominally esteemed venue. The premise, if such it can be labelled, is that the South is waging warVideo: Disgraceful Global Warming Propaganda

On Tobacco Taxes Some food for the Governor's thought from the Tax Foundation: The only purpose of specific taxes on tobacco products is to pay for the costs smoking imposes on others. Studies are a mixed bag on how much those costs are, with the lost lives and health care costs weighed against lower Social Security and Medicare costs from early deaths and the personal enjoyment that smokers get from smoking. Cigarette tax proponents should quantify how much the tax rate should be in their stGOPUSA ILLINOIS Daily Clips - December 17, 2008

In the days before this recession, I was asked to locate a pair of 18th-century fauteuil for a client who owned a brownstone in a prestigious part of Manhattan. I located the right pair in an obscure Venetian collection. The Venetian nobleman’s life of debauchery had him living in a moldering palazzo.

However, it was immediately obviousTea Time
It was on this date in 1773 that the Boston Tea Party took place. Fortunately for the future of America, the populace at that time was not encumbered with Christmas shopping or sports on TV and could pay attention to public affairs. In 1770, the British Parliament ended the Townshend Duties — taxes on the sale of lead, glass, paper, paints and tea — ended them for all but tea. The tax on British tea and a boycott of it in many of the colonies continued. Tea was a hot commodity in the coloniMenu for Hope V: master list of raffle prizes

Detroit’s Big Three aren’t the only automotive companies that want to see the government step in with some much needed financial help. Overseas automakers, most notably Toyota Motor, all endorse some form of federal aid to keep General Motors (GM, Fortune 500), Chrysler LLC and possibly Ford Motor (F, Fortune 500) out of bankruptcy.
