"Can someone give me a tax break?"

Really. I have to send my 07 fourth quarter estimated tax in by the 15th. If it wasn't going to the present administration, I wouldn't mind so much.

Listen, last year was the first time I had to handle capital gains in my taxes, and I did it incorrectly - I dealt with them as regular income and calculated the tax appropriately. I was genuinely shocked when the IRS refigured and chastised me for not taking the damned 15% rate - and handed me back money. It is absolutely nuts that they are taxed at 15% - so you have the spectacle of unearned income being subject to little tax at all, and earned income, particularly that falling under the g-d alternative tax crap squeeze being taxed at higher levels.
What it is, is positively un-American. Right up there with insufficient taxation of inherited estates.

I'm back. I think I know what made me melancholic earlier. This morning, we went to the organic grocery store, and our 8-mo old daughter got her very first balloon. It absolutely thrilled her, which, for the benefit of the non-parents out there, is a wonderful thing to behold. But on the way home, I found myself recalling a balloon I was given, and the sadness I felt at seeing it float away in the sky. I think I was 3 when this happened. I guess I made a connection in my mind between a child’s balloon and bad things happening, and it depressed me to think that someday, bad things would happen to her.

Global ‘enthusiasm’ for Bush’s departure. The 2008 U.S. elections are attracting an “eager” audience worldwide. This past week, for example, major British newspapers “devoted more than 87 pages to news of the U.S. primaries, including 22 front-page stories.” Much of the enthusiasm, according to the Washington Post, is for the end of the Bush presidency:
But much of the enthusiasm comes from anticipation of President Bush’s departure, according to several analysts. U.S. prestige and popularity in much of the world have sunk to historic lows since Bush took office, over such issues as the Iraq war and climate change. Many analysts said the election has created high expectations that the new president will be more in tune with the rest of the world.
“In many capitals people have been waiting for this change for some time,” said Rosa Balfour, a senior analyst at the European Policy Center, a Brussels-based research group.
"I have to wonder if that's more comfortable than football in the pouring rain, a treat I experienced recently."

Not the leading candidate, but St Gingrich:
http://www.alternet.org/environm...ironment/72999/
"Q: How will global warming figure in the 2008 presidential election?
Newt Gingrich: Whoever wins will have a sound and realistic approach to climate change. Democrats have an advantage in developing solutions because their primary voters care more about the issue and because they are more comfortable dealing with environmental issues, which have been largely a liberal area of dialogue for the past generation. Republicans have to play catch-up in developing answers other than no.
Our research at American Solutions indicates that, by a very substantial margin, Americans prefer entrepreneurship to bureaucracy and innovation to litigation. The Republican nominee should be able to develop strong solutions to climate change that emphasize science, technology, innovation, and incentives. These will prove surprisingly popular compared with the tax increase-government control-bureaucracy and litigation model that has dominated for the past 30 years."
Christy Hardin Smith says what I was saying earlier, but better and with more citations--that the MCMers are blaming the less well-educated, high school level women voters (and women in general, the emotionally movitvated unthinking women!) for their predictions (and unmitigaged glee) that Hillary would lose to Obama.

"therefore, if the leading republican candidate stops denying it and tells his audience that we need to do something about it right away, that would be progress"
It would be, but the use of the word "if" indicates that he still chooses to tell his audience that the science is uncertain.
I understand what he's doing, and it's admirable to call for action, but it's cowardly to deny the science simply because some loudmouth like Rush Limbaugh has convinced millions of gullible people otherwise.

Naturally, that's not what I said, but I expected such a response nonetheless.
Choosing to be stupid is no better than actually being stupid.
because their constant idiotic prattle probably really does effect the process?
Well, the argument is that New Hampshire voters are "independent."
Which is a funny way of saying the pundits and the pollsters are in charge, if you think about it. After all, "scientific" polling must be right! It's "scientific!"
Although maybe the problem is not in the polls, but in the interpretation of the data....
Matt Hasselbeck is the brother married to that bimbo on The View, right?
Then I'm rooting for GB.
Which makes him more dangerous in the general....

Naturally, that's not what I said,
If it is raining, it is probably at least 40 degrees. That is what you said. That is does rain when the temperature is less than 40 degrees is a natural response to overgeneralized bullshit. Nor was your statement relevant to, well, anything.
Oh, and those mole recipes? How many moles does it call for per person?

otherwise we are getting another old pasty white guy. and he will be a republican.
in which american political campaign was this 'warning' issued about what would happen if the candidate was elected?
"is is, that our churches may become temples or reason [the speaker is against this!]... the bible cast into a bonfire... and our children... chanting mockeries against god... our wives and daughters the victems of legal prostitution; soberly dishonoured; speciously polluted... the loathing of god and man..."

There's this dude who sells tamales out of a cart up near City College. They're sorta small (you're meant to hold 'em in your hand). I could eat about 10 of those bad boys.

Senator Ben Nelson Endorses Barack Obama
The endorsement may serve to highlight the Illinois senator's message that he would change the tone in Washington and work with people in both parties.
Nelson, who has the most conservative voting record among Senate Democrats, has worked with Republicans on tax cuts, homeland security and judicial nominations.
Well, it's almost as good as a Joe Lieberman endorsement, I guess.

i'm so disappointed since i've such high regard for your insights.
still, i have felt your pain.
I saw a bumper sticker this week that made me laugh out loud: "My beagle is smarter than your honor student."
I saw one a couple of weeks back that read: "God is looking for fruits of the spirit, not religious nuts." For a religious slogan, I thought that was all right.
I read me a book that suggests Neandertals were (are?) telepaths.

The Faux announcers are so pro Pack it's nauseating.
"I entirely reject that statement," Giuliani said. "There is no
moral equivalent for this [...] act. There is no justification
for it. The people who did it lost any right to ask for justification
for it when they slaughtered 4,000 or 5,000 innocent people."
This statement reflects the influence of zlogic on American Likudnik Giuliani. Besides the random inflation of casualties, always innocent (as if it would be okay to murder 5,000 guilty people? Giuliani certainly would see it that way), the important thing is the total sunjectivity of the universe. You are not allowed to ask what are essentially historical questions, and the compelling reason why you are not allowed to do this is because of someone's feelings. Someone's feelings will be hurt if you ask a question so that part of your freedom of speech is void. Now, the American media makes regular practice of routinely hurting people's feelings, so this can hardly be a golden rule courtesy. The holder of the feelings in threat must be a specially chosen person, no mere American, for these precious feelings to impinge on what can and cannot be asked. What is depressingly self-defeating here is that people move forward, individually or nationally, when they brush aside their stupid feelings and ask grown-up questions about what went wrong and what now must be done. Refusing to consider possibilities is the same phony pedantic imitation of strength we have come to expect from our weak and dying government.
