Aaaaargh...
Tax cut, or credit?
tax cut would mean I send less to begin with.
This college tution tax seems more like a credit,
it won't be less sent.
More social engineering,
and what of the folks who don't go to college,
maybe choose a Military career instead,
shouldn't they have some tax relief?
I remember reading some time ago that when Muslims kidnapped and executed a Russian military officer in (I think) Tajikistan, the Russians swarmed their village and kidnapped, tortured, killed, and mutilated every member of the suspected kidnappers that they could find. There were no more attacks against Russian soldiers.
lol~ I do the same thing but I shout, "GET OFF MY TV!"
Thanks for the ping Johnnie! Sono mode again.
I did lose power for a short while. I am immensely grateful that didn't last long. I see you are alright as well. We are among the lucky ones.
Thanks, Chicago! The sausaged were very good today.
If Her Thighness starts crossing her legs, I may need to be on suicide watch...
Talking Points Memo & Top Story
The truth about Iraq
Guest: Fox News military analyst Col. Oliver North
"It doesn't matter whether there is a 'civil war' in Iraq - that is a media-driven situation. But it does matter whether the USA can control the situation. If the Bush administration has failed, here are the consequences for you. One, Iran will increase its power and begin to dominate the world's oil flow. All Americans will be at Iran's mercy when it comes to oil. Two, Al Qaeda would proclaim a great victory over America, and terrorists would have a sanctuary. Three, no one could stop Iran from getting nukes, so they develop doomsday weapons and give them to whomever. So you can see that allowing Iraq to go under would be a catastrophe for the world. But if the Iraqi people will not step up and fight for their freedom, there is little the USA can do. Therein lies the biggest foreign policy problem I have ever seen in my lifetime. Back here, we have a press that is invested in seeing that President Bush is humiliated in Iraq. Then there are those Americans who dislike the president so much they want America to lose. So there you have it - a hostile American and world media, an American public that has lost faith in the war, and some who are even rooting for a defeat. And then, the Iraqi people who will not step up and stop the madness they see every day. God help us, and I mean that literally."
For more on Iraq, The Factor was joined by Fox News military analyst Col. Oliver North, who demanded greater commitment from non-military components of the federal government. "This is a war that is being fought only by those on the ground, and not by the rest of our government." North provided two specific examples. "We've got soldiers building schools and putting textbooks in them, but no one from the Department of Education. We have the National Guard helping Iraqi farmers get better crop yields instead of our Department of Agriculture." The Factor argued that Col. North's prescription poses its own dangers. "You can't do that here because it's a terrorist insurgency. If you put American civilians over there, they'll be kidnapped and brutalized, and I don't think U.S. forces can protect them."
While the Russians were unsuccessful in Afghanistan, they have kept internal Chechnyan dissidents in check by those very tactics...You have to be judicious and understand when to use and not to use them...It needs a MacArthur type leader who understands that kind of warfare.
Oops. Sausages.
THE HILLARY CLINTON STORY YOU SHOULD NEVER FORGET -- Children at the Hospital
The power in my part of the apartment complex went out 15 hours ago and is still out. They were digging with a backhoe last I saw this morning.
No worries-- I doubt Her Thighness has been able to cross her legs for decades.
