Bad times is when the wealthiest get wealthier at slightly slower pace than they did previously.
I've been listening to NBC News in the background for the past hour, and haven't heard Jesse Helms death reported once. Yet we were repeatedly blasted with the news of Kennedy's illness. No media bias there.
Helms was a towering figure. The defeat of Soviet communism and the rise of Ronald Reagan would not have happened without his leadership at decisive times.
And he dies on the Fourth of July, as did John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.
It is fitting. For true defenders of the Constitution, the Fourth of July IS a good day to die...

Allies Worry About President's Schedule
Some of President Bush's allies tell the Political Bulletin they are embarrassed and angry that the White House seems to be wasting Bush's time on frivolous events when much of the country is suffering through economic hard times. "Look at the schedule for Monday," says an outside Bush adviser. "A highlight of his day was witnessing a tee ball game. ... He is being reduced to child's play." The adviser says Bush also signed a supplemental appropriations bill for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan on Monday, but he adds that it didn't get much coverage and that the tee ball game set the wrong tone. There is growing concern among Bush allies that the Democrats will effectively portray the President and GOP candidate John McCain as out of touch. Some GOP insiders now predict that the Republicans will lose at least five seats in the Senate and 15 to 20 in the House, and it could get worse if gasoline prices continue to soar and the public remains in a disgruntled mood.

I think "pleasure craft" includes any recreational boat, not just yachts.
I work with an otherwise exceptionally intelligent woman who, along with her husband who is also a state employee, is upside on her payments for GIANT schoolbus SUV, which they HAVE TO keep, because otherwise they couldn't tow their BOAT.
Like I said, otherwise very intelligent and on the ball, but when she wants to talk about gas prices, I've had to say, "Sorry, I think you are deep denial and I have no sympathy. Sell your freakin boat, pay off the car, and get right with the gas pump."

Did you know the French have no word for "big shitpile?"
From earlier - refined
This is from 'turk's link to the odious Glen Beck at FDL. If we assume this asshole's figures are accurate, let's see what it means. From Glen Beck, This number should put our skyrocketing gas prices into perspective. To explain: In January 2007, gas prices were at a measly $2.17 a gallon. Since then they've skyrocketed to more than $4.
Considering the average amount of gas used per household, the rise has cost us approximately $1,690.
Now the meat: Suppose you work in a job that pays you $18,000 a year. That is $346 a week. Not being an investment banker, you have to pay about thirty per cent of your income in payroll taxes (FICA, Fed, State, and Local) or $103. That takes your pay down to $243. The figures cited means that you have had to pay an INCREASE of $32.50 per week in gasoline prices alone this year. That is 14% of your income.
Now this figure does not count the increased prices for food and everything else that have increased in price - dramatically. I am pretty sure we could justify a similar rise in prices. So, in the last year you have lost nearly 30% of your income.
30%.
Think about losing 30% of your salary. What would that mean to you in your life?
This hovercraft is in dire need of eels.

People are dopes. How often do they actually tow the boat? Wouldn't it be cheaper to rent a towing vehicle when you need one? Or buy a cheapo truck while driving a sensible vehicle every day?
I'll never understand that mindset that thinks a heavy truck is an everyday vehicle.

Helms was a towering pile of rank shit.
He didn't have fuck-all to do with the demise of the Soviet Union (they were perfectly capable of fucking up on their own).
Helms was a bigot, a racist and a misogynist (funny how those go together). There was nothing in him to admire. He got his start broadcasting hate speech from a fuckin' trailer in the woods, and he never progressed from that. He just found a different venue for it, and a slightly different vocabulary for saying the same thing.
He was a loudmouthed cracker in a suit. He embarrassed this country around the world. Things definitely looked brighter when he left the government.

Trent Lott marvels that Helms was never mean-spirited:
Fox News phoned former Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS) for his reaction to Helms’ passing. “He had a philosophy, had principles he believed in, and he stood and fought for them,” Lott said, adding that he admired that Helms accomplished his work without being “mean-spirited and disrespectful.” Lott added:
Senator Helms did it by sometimes supporting things that surprised people. But if you looked at it, if you looked at his faith and principles he believed in, it made sense.

To explain: In January 2007, gas prices were at a measly $2.17 a gallon. Since then they've skyrocketed to more than $4.
obama was interviewed on a cnbc money show this morning, and the interviewer kept trying to get him to say that high gas prices were a good thing in some way (there is the advantage of raising conciousness, of course, but a pres candidate CANNOT say that)
barack did a very good job with it. basically said it was good for people to be thinking about energy, but not a good thing at all for prices to jump so quickly - a shock to which there was no comparably timed response.
then they went to three wall street guys for analysis - one was a barack supporter, one was a mccain supporter, so they could be discounted. the third, an independant and harvard prof, was unequivocal that obama was the better candidate for the economy. not even a comparison. but the funny thing was when they cut to the mccain guy - he was standind out on the street and couldn't hear the interview or their follow up questions. so all he could say was "raising taxes and protectionism is NOT what we need" - which of course had nothing to do with what obama said or was even asked about.
it was tres amusing.
