So, the American Idol wants to increase the tax burden on the rich. And, at the same time, he wants small businesses to follow some "plan" to create more jobs. Do you see what's wrong with this plan? If you don't, and would like a clue, ask yourself who owns the small businesses.
Last week, Portsmouth Mayor James Holley was recalled by an overwhelming 2-1 margin. And one fact seems to go uninterpreted by all the sockpuppets who report it.
In voter turnout of 26 percent, about 16,000 people cast ballots - about 6,000 more than what the May elections for City Council and School Board garnered.
Do the math. About 10,700 people showed up at the polls to vote no to Holley. Whereas in May, about 10,000 total people showed up to vote for Holley, for Holley's opponent, and to write in Spongebob Squarepants combined. Yet nobody seems to understand the significance of this statistic. I'm certain that even the voters who showed up to vote in this recall election, but did not make the same effort during the Mayoral election never took the time to really assess why. Do you see it?
And, I have a special request: money. But not for me. And not for the show; at least not this year. Howzabout donating something to my Facebook cause, Downsize DC's Read the Bills Act? Or, become a Free Talk Live Amplifier. My birthday is June 1st, so you have some time to think about it.
I've met all of the candidates for the GOP nomination for the 2nd congressional district. It's difficult to tell that there are more than one. One candidate is a car salesman, who is a hyperpatriotic warmonger who hates gays (come on, why else would you want to keep them from marrying who they want), and thinks abortion should be outlawed, no exceptions, no excuses. Then there are four former naval officers (two of them former SEALs), all of whom are hyperpatriotic warmongers who hate gays, and think abortion should be outlawed, no exceptions, no excuses. And they all think the Patriot Act is just great.
