from the nyt article -- the dems should use this as a billboard against republican claims to how their policies benefit middle america:
The median household earned $48,201 in 2006, down from $49,244 in 1999, according to the Census Bureau. It now looks as if a full decade may pass before most Americans receive a raise.

McCain on Taxes [Ramesh Ponnuru]
From Monday's WSJ:
Q: On ABC's "This Week" on Feb. 17, in response to a question, "Are you a 'read my lips' candidate, no new taxes?" you replied, "No new taxes." Did you mean that literally?
A: I'm not making a "read my lips" statement in that I will not raise taxes. But I'm not saying I can envision a scenario where I would, OK? But I'm not making it a centerpiece in my campaign.
I want lower taxes. I want the family to keep more of their money.
So is the senator opening the door to raising taxes or not? Because it sure sounds as though he is. If he doesn't mean to open that door, he ought to close it now.
Yes. He should say: "Wead my lips. No new taxes."

If it was a Dem administration that had been in power for the last 7 years and a dominant Dem Congress, and they had wrought the phony Iraq war, the devastated economy, the collapsing housing industry, the plunging dollar, the declining stock market and the rising inflation,the MSM and the beltway pundits would be frothing at the mouth and condemning the hell out of the Dem Prez and Congress.
Hell they did that to Jimmy Carter and the Dems back in 1980 and his only crime was to be in office when oil spiked and inflation went with it.
Of course they blamed him for the hostages in Iran too. But then Raygun pulled his "October surprise" and it's been downhill ever since.

there's apparently a new york version of that. alessandra stanley had a very snarky review of it this week:
"Not all the preposterous wealth and vulgar extravagances are in the hands of fund managers or Internet moguls. It seems there is still lots of new money to be made in old-fashioned manufacturing and service industries: angel bracelets, sofa cushions and hotel reservations. Either that or the Bush tax cuts really were a bonanza for the already rich."

Speaking as someone who would never vote for McCain, I have to say that, after hearing about him losing his temper with Bumiller, I was surprised at how mild this is. This is supposed to be somebody losing it? I've been treated much worse many times. This isn't ranting, this is being snotty and disagreeable. Big difference. He doesn't even raise his voice.

Here's a story about one difference between the French and the Italians. In my first job in Europe, I worked at a Europe-wide agency. People from all over the continent worked there.
I shared an office with a French guy who would cycle, job or cross-country ski to work. There was no shower, so he would just get changed from his exercise clothing to his jeans and shirt.
He started doing this in our closed office. He asked first, and I agreed. I would just look at my computer screen or turn away while he was in his underwear, which is really the way the French handle these things.
One day, an Italian friend of mine was talking to me in the office while the French guy was changing. I was looking at the Italian, whose jaw dropped, as he stared at my friend Olivier, in his skivvies. I just kept on talking to Gabriele. He couldn't believe the situation, whereas for French people, it was nothing out of the ordinary.

McCain is an intemperate, doddering hypocrite. He will flip on any position and do anything to gain the presidency.
Much like Hillary, whose performance this week where she referred to some mythical "threshold for being the CIC" that she and McCain "passed" but Obama didn't, was one of the most shocking acts I've ever seen a Democratic candidate for office make.
Elevating the Gooper candidate above your rival in the Dem party is giving the Goopers ammunition they will use to shoot down Hillary and Obama, and she should know better.

Bushboy spending $42 million of taxpayer dollars to send out letters taking credit for the "rebate" checks that he and the Dem Congress came up with as a stimulus to the economy.
There is no need for these letters and the cost to produce them could be better spent on many other things.
The only reason for them is so that Bushboy can boast about having "done something" to fight recession.
Yeah. Right, just like he's done something to fight terrorism.

NTodd
Well, my newspaper says I will:
NEW YORK — It is what most married men want to know: how to get more sex. But the answer may well be enough to dampen their ardour: do the housework.
Dusting, vacuuming and even taking out the rubbish are the best ways to rekindle the marital flame, according to a U.S. study of family life.
"Equitable sharing of housework is associated with higher levels of marital satisfaction — and sometimes more sex too," said Joshua Coleman, a psychologist with the Council on Contemporary Families, which commissioned the report. "Wives report greater feelings of sexual interest and affection for husbands who participate in housework."
Evidently, I'm going to get my brains fucked out today.

Who sez good things don't happen to good people?
""The Federal Bureau of Investigation is probing subprime lender Countrywide Financial Corp. for possible securities fraud, according to law-enforcement officials and finance-industry executives.
The inquiry involves whether company officials made misrepresentations about the company's financial position and the quality of its mortgage loans in securities filings, four people with knowledge of the matter said. It is at an early stage, they emphasized. . .
Fifteen other subprime companies also are under scrutiny by federal agents and prosecutors in a broad look at the subprime industry sparked by huge losses on residential mortgages and the securities used to fund them. The investigations are examining mortgage-origination fraud, conflicts of interest and undisclosed relationships within the industry, and the practices used to package mortgage-backed securities for sale to investors.
Countrywide issued more than $100 billion in mortgage-backed securities between 2004 and 2007, according to the newsletter Asset Backed Alert. More than two dozen Wall Street firms helped construct those deals, making it possible that some of them will also face law-enforcement scrutiny."
The New York Stock Exchange closed at 11,893.69, its lowest point in nearly two years, and more than 2,100 points down from the peak last October 11. The total losses on all stocks traded are approaching three trillion dollars in less than five months.
In an effort to stave off the wave of selling triggered by the jobs report, the Federal Reserve announced Friday that it would make $100 billion in new credit available to major banks this month, on top of $160 billion in short-term loans it has extended in occasional auctions since December. The Fed also announced that it will increase the size of the short-term lending in auctions set for March 10 and March 24 from $30 billion to $50 billion apiece.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke has already indicated that the central bank will likely cut interest rates again at the next meeting of its Open Market Committee, now set for March 18. The Fed has cut rates by 1.25 percent in the last two months (2.25 percent since October) in an increasingly desperate effort to stimulate the financial markets.
A report Thursday by the Federal Reserve showed that household net wealth fell for the first time in five years, dropping $532.9 billion, or 3.6 percent, in the fourth quarter of 2007. The collapse of real estate values accounted for a third of the decline, while the decline in financial assets accounted for nearly half.
The Fed report also found that for the first time since such records began in 1945, American homeowners owed more on their homes than they owned. Average net home equity dropped below 50 percent—a figure that is even more remarkable since one third of US homeowners have either paid off their mortgages or bought without a mortgage, and therefore have 100 percent equity.
Declaring, “our economy will prosper,” Bush touted the economic stimulus package approved by Congress last month at the instigation of the White House, although the size of the package, $168 billion, is less than one third of the decline in net worth of the fourth quarter, and entirely dwarfed by the trillions wiped out in the real estate collapse.

This McCain story (given non-trivial coverage in this morning's NY Times) is a good start.
The conventional wisdom is that McCain is a "straight shooter". Karl Rove has shown how powerful it is to attack a person's perceived strengths. Well, McCain is a liar. You know it, all us DFH's know it, but most voters really don't know it.
Hammer the guy on his lies, misleading statements and other artful dodges. His volte-face on torture alone is nauseating, never mind his near-coitus on stage with Bush after Rove portrayed him as siring a child with another woman.
Straight talk, maybe, but with a forked tongue.

How true. Remember when bushboy was so concerned about the saftey of drugs from Canada?!
Now, if you're taking a generic drug, there's a good chance its made in India or China. And guess what. The FDA has about 20 inspectors to cover all those factories. At that rate they estimate they'll get to them all in about 30 years. another tip of the hat to Wallmart. $4 prescriptions, thats what you get.

No matter where they live or how much education they have, women still have a long way to go before they get equal pay in many workplaces, says a newly released Canadian Labour Congress report.
"In fact, over the past 10 years, young women have done everything they were told to do to get ahead economically," Ivy Shaw, secretary treasurer of the Nova Scotia Federation of Labour, told a news conference at Province House on Friday.
"Young women have put off starting a family so they could earn a post-secondary degree and build a career. And now they are actually worse off. The wage gap between them and their male counterparts has actually grown."
The report, Women in the Workforce: Still a Long Way from Equality, shows that in 2005, women in Canada who worked full time for a full year earned an average $39,200, or 70.5 per cent as much as men, who earned an average of $55,700 for the same amount of time in similar jobs.
"That’s less than women earned 10 years ago, when women working in similar jobs earned 72 per cent of what men got paid, despite the fact that more women hold post-secondary degrees, more women work in highly skilled jobs, and as women have decided to have fewer children, later in life," the Canadian Labour Congress said in a news release.
The wage gap, the congress says, is even greater for university-educated women, who earned just 68 per cent as much as men in 2005, down from 75 per cent a decade ago.

The U.S. military specifically prohibited waterboarding in 2006. The CIA also prohibited the practice in 2006, and says it has not been used since three prisoners encountered it in 2003.
But while some Bush administration officials have questioned the current legality of waterboarding, the administration has refused to rule definitively on whether it is torture. Mr. Bush has said many times that his administration does not torture.
The White House says waterboarding remains among the interrogation methods potentially available to the CIA. Its use would have to be approved, on a case-by-case basis, by the president after consultation with the attorney general and the intelligence community. Among the acceptable situations for approving it could be belief of imminent attack, according to the White House.
"Because the danger remains, we need to ensure our intelligence officials have all the tools they need to stop the terrorists," Mr. Bush said.

Sorry I missed you last night. The pharmacy had to hunt for Mr. Soprano's prescription (he's a little better this a.m.--managed to sleep some last night, with the coughing letting up) and by the time I got out of there, it was just at 5:00. My cell phone refused to cooperate, but I saw BRU in the parking lot, so I went up to look for you. We must have crossed in the hallway.
I saw Suzan, Martha, Rusty M., and a horde of other-not-jeffrahams, but not you.
When I got back down to the parking lot, BRU was gone. Frustration ensued, esp. as I had to drop off cookies at shul and couldn't detour to your house (other direction entirely, and I wanted to get home before getting stranded).
I can bring the item over on Monday.

It's gorgeous, though. Unfortunately I can't enjoy it free of the worry for the floods that are gonna follow when this stuff melts all at once and with frozen ground beneath. We're in a flood plain for the creek across the way. It's gonna be hell . . .

Obama's presidential campaign explained differences between his stands as presented to a voters' group during his first run for the IL state senate and his current stands by saying the questionnaire was filled out by his campaign manager, not the Obama himself.
Too bad he didn't say candidates, like any normal, sensate, intelligent people, learn things and may change their minds as a result. Still, I'm sure McBush's people and R 527's or whatever have this as well.
