In California, a state worker can retire at age 50, do absolutely nothing all day, and collect 90 percent of their salary for the rest of their lives! 5,000 of these pensions amount to six figures incomes. Nor can the state afford the system it has. As the Matt Welch piece mentions, "the state's annual pension fund contribution vaulted from $321 million in 2000-01 to $7.3 billion last year." That is a rather alarming rate of growth, and an astonishing figure, don't you think? Given that the state is bankrupt and issuing IOUs to its creditors, it doesn't seem unreasonable to complain that public employee unions have extracted benefits that are both obviously unaffordable and far in excess of what is enjoyed by the taxpayers who finance them.

Wellllll..... After my folks married in '47, and moved back to Calgary, the only place to live was the York Hotel, until about six months later, when they found a little upstairs apartment. The owners lived downstairs - Hy Eisenstadt and his wife. He was back from the war too, and throwing out ideas of what to do. In about '49, the two young couples took a jaunt down to Vegas, where Hy discovered the 'steakhouse' and said, AHA! Returning to Calgary, my Pop continued his work with his dad's company, Canadian Freightways, and Hy invented Hy's. Nice people.

Face Off: Did the CIA Lie to Congress?
The growing controversy over whether the CIA lied to Congress is the subject of our Face-off debate. Joining Lou: Republican Congressman Darrell Issa, the ranking member on the Judiciary Committee. He’s just asked the FBI for an investigation into Speaker Pelosi’s claim that the CIA misled her. Also, Democratic Congressman Adam Smith, who serves on the Intelligence Committee. He’s among seven House Democrats who say CIA Director Leon Panetta misled them.

Long and long before the Soviet Union dissolved, not a single apparatchik, Politburo member, or common citizen believed a word of Party doctrine. But they would still attack anyone who said the Emperor lacked clothes as pirahna would a cow in the river.
The GOP Politburo doesn't believe their own shite, not really. But they will still Siberia anyone who says so aloud. And that includes boys who lurvs the boys.

Glenn Beck's new book Common Sense is a bestseller due to the fact that carton upon carton of this asswipe has been hauled off to warehouses where it can be handed out for free to wingnuts
I think if you plotted wingnuts in the 3-dimensions of ignorance, dishonesty, and stupidity, the surface would be roughly a π/2 wedge about the origin.
My 3 dimensions of choice when plotting lib-nuts are: obsessive-compulsiveness, wimpery, and their relative index of generally over-thinking about shit.
Don't know about the n/2 wedgie stuff, but I'd be really careful about dropping a diagram of it on the bathroom floor of the Minneapolis airport.

I'd love to know which politicians were perhaps wiretapped.
Hint: *All* of them.
Precisely.
Go back to the 'intelligencers' of Elizabeth I, or the censors of Imperial Rome, or any other nest of spying, and learn one truth that is like unto a law of nature: No matter whom a spy bureau is developed to spy upon, said bureau will end up primarily spying on their own people, for the benefit of the rulers.
It's more fun, and more convenient, and more profitable, and more popular with the rulers. It alwyas happens. There are no exceptions. Oh sure, there may be departments that actually take a look overseas, or at enemies abroad. But the high-budget ones, the ones from which the future Directors are drawn, those are spying on the citizens for the rulers.
there are enough incidents of Hannity very clumisly editing tape to make a point. He would know that's deceptive, and if he really believed it, he wouldn't need to manipualte video.

I watched Brooks and Ruth Marcus on the news tonight, and wanted to slap them both with a slimy fish. I don't know why I do this to myself.

Hey, Toonscribe, are you still defending Obama's Marxist-style anti-constitutionalism?
Hey, Tobes. Have you found any government in the world that recognizes the new Honduran government?

"Lonely" doesn't automatically mean "desperate".
I find that's becoming less true for me as time goes by.

Mark Shields got too liberal? Not really fair to say "From Free Republic to The New Republic", but definitely runs from the Weekly Standard to TNR

"Highlights for Children" is too sophisticated for Tobee.
For years, he's been reading Goofus and Gallant and emulating Goofus.

Pope presses Obama on abortion, stem cells
VATICAN CITY (AP) - Pope Benedict XVI stressed the church's opposition to abortion and stem cell research in his first meeting with President Barack Obama on Friday, pressing the Vatican's case with the U.S. leader who is already under fire on those issues from some conservative Catholics and bishops back home.

Amazing how mouthbreathers can accuse the President of doing "unconstitutional" things when his predecessor's administration used the Constitution as toilet paper.

Who thinks blastocysts and stem cells should take precedence over the lives of people already here.
Particularly women.
The old bastard thinks American women are going to go back to having six or seven kids.

Glenn Beck is completely off any chart. He is dumber then you think, and crazier then you want to think.

This post is awesome! But I must take issue with your suggestion that stupidity and dishonesty are independent. It looks like there might be a negative correlation between the two. More wingnuts are needed to confirm or disprove this hypothesis.

Obama just about to speak in Accra, Ghana in Africa.
Unsurprisingly, Obama is advocating neo-liberal economic policies. On Ghana, from wikipedia:
Since an initial August 1983 IMF standby agreement, the economic recovery program has been supported by three IMF standbys and two other credits totaling $611 million, $1.1 billion from the World Bank, and hundreds of millions of dollars more from other donors. In November 1987, the IMF approved a $318-million, 3-year extended fund facility. The second phase (1987-90) of the recovery program concentrated on economic restructuring and revitalizing social services. The third phase, focused on financial transparency and macroeconomic stability is scheduled for March 1998.
Ghana intends to achieve its goals of accelerated economic growth, improved quality of life for all Ghanaians, and reduced poverty through macroeconomic stability, higher private investment, broad-based social and rural development, as well as direct poverty-alleviation efforts. These plans are fully supported by the international donor community and have been forcefully reiterated in the 1995 government report, Ghana: Vision 2020. Privatization of state-owned enterprises continues, with about two-thirds of 300 parastatal enterprises sold to private owners. Other reforms adopted under the government's structural adjustment program include the elimination of exchange rate controls and the lifting of virtually all restrictions on imports. The establishment of an interbank foreign exchange market has greatly expanded access to foreign exchange.
The medium-term macroeconomic forecast assumes political stability, successful economic stabilization, and the implementation of a policy agenda for private sector growth, and adequate public spending on social services and rural infrastructure. The ninth Consultative Group Meeting for Ghana ended 5 November 1997 after deliberations in Paris. Twenty-four countries and donor entities were represented at this meeting called by the World Bank on behalf of the Ghanaian Government. The World Bank announced that, of the targeted disbursement level of $1.6 billion sought from the donor community for 1998-99, they foresaw only a $150 million shortfall in commitments, and that this shortfall would be easily realized should Ghana rapidly enact its macroeconomic program.
The government repealed a 17% value-added tax (VAT) shortly after its introduction in 1995, which resulted in widespread public protests. The government reverted to several previously imposed taxes, including a sales tax. The government has set in motion a program to reintroduce a VAT bill, with implementation in 1998 after an extensive public education campaign.
Wingnuts like American Bandstand! Begone, J. Evans Pritchard, Ph.D.!
