The lesson from that graph is quite clear. Raise the top marginal rate to 90% as it was under Eisenhower (on incomes over $250K) and regulate the hell out of the financial industry and the deficits magically disappear.

Deficits matter now ?

And what Americans would ever wish to live in the late 1940s and 1950s, when citizens starved since the previous decades’ high deficits destroyed the economy and nobody had anything?

On Bizarro World, correlation am always imply causation! Why silly humans always put horse before cart?

They want to go back to Leave it to Beaver or Ozzie and Harriet, but they appear to be unaware that the top marginal rate in this Golden Age was 94%. (They also seem to be unaware that Ozzie Nelson was a Communist, but that’s another discussion.)

If we want to keep the deficit down we should definitely not have World War II again.

Dr. Dick beat me to it.

BREAKING!! IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED THAT GOV. MARK SANFORD HAS BEEN THE VICTIM OF A TERRIBLE TEABAGGING ACCIDENT WHEN HE WAS TROLLING FOR MALE HOOKERS AND MISTOOK AN IRANIAN MUSLAMIC TERRIST FOR A RENT BOY. SOURCES SAY THAT HE IS NOW LITERALLY SACKLESS, HAVING NEITHER PAPER OR PLASTIC, AND WILL BE SPENDING TIME WITH HIS FAMILY AS HE RECOVERS FROM THIS NATIONAL TRAGEDY.

Capital !

They also seem to be unaware that Ozzie Nelson was a Communist, but that’s another discussion.

Shush! Ix-nay on the Oz-nay!

Brother Obama needs to man-up and commence with the Republican ass-reaming.

(Sit down, Senator Graham! Every Pub will get a turn!)

Hey, one thing is for sure: Barry X Trotsky Mohammed Obama is now more hated than Teh Clenis by Wingnuttia.

Hey, one thing is for sure: Barry X Trotsky Mohammed Obama is now more hated than Teh Clenis by Wingnuttia.

Question am be answered: Why New York Times not listen to Michelle Malkin and print all the secret plans of U.S. am army so bin Laden can be have kill us all?

Will blabbermouth New York Times learn its national security lesson?

By Michelle Malkin • June 22, 2009 11:14 AM Eastern Screeching Time

I am glad New York Times reporter David Rohde is safe.

But I have questions.

Is the safety of journalists more important than the safety of our military? The safety of our homeland?

From September 11, 2001 to the present, the terror-tipping blabbermouths of the New York Times have repeatedly undermined national security by disclosing sensitive/classified information about many key counterrorism programs. The paper has gone to court to force the government to release such information. The paper has shown reckless disregard for the consequences of disclosure.

Ha ha! Now maybe dumb fuck traitor paper think twice before send reporter to surrender to Al Qa’ida #3!! They lucky wingnutz not just kill dumb ha ha talk talk reporterz in America too!

When newspaperz lurn their job to SHUT UP not to tell Amerkin people stuff? NEWSPAPERZ JOB TO BE BLANK AND HAVE PICTURES OF EAGLE KRYING!

I not count when Bill Keller keep NSA wiretap story sekrit in 2004 so we could let Unitary Executive Bush Jr keep keeping us safe for 7 years! That differnt.

Ok, christ, I can’t leave it alone with just the shorter.

How can a person be so dense as to not see the correlation there – that lowering taxes causes the blue line to spike up – and still have enough functioning gray matter to keep the basal nervous system going?

So Meeechelle has questions:

“Is the safety of journalists more important than the safety of our military?”

I couldn’t agree more. I suggest we send Meeeechelle out to Afghanistan to take point on some patrols. We’ll equip her with a spoon to dig up IEDs to protect the troops.

Win-win-win all around!

I suggest we send Meeeechelle out to Afghanistan to take point on some patrols. We’ll equip her with a spoon to dig up IEDs to protect the troops.

I think she could use her super-powered Harpie scream to detonate all the IED’s, but it would simultaneously cause all U.S. allied forces to lose control of their bowels and attract swarms of confused rodents and insects.

Ia! Ia! Cthulhu Faughnan!

Okay, like a damn’ fool I clicked the link and was transported via the devilish intertrons to Red State where the Shriveled Testicle People™ (Well, I would have joined up but mom needs someone to change her oxygen bottle and there is my Cheeto dependency.) were offering their sage advice to General Stanley McChrystal on how he should kill all of the Brown People rather than only those who are combatants.
I kept my last pair of jungle boots as a souvenir. They are now nearly forty years old. They know more about counter-insurgency than all of the Shriveled Testicle People™ combined.

LittlePig’s brethren, runnin’ wild on the freeway, messin’ up mah commute!

I wish my commute would get fucked up by something awesome like loose pigs. As it is, I have to settle for dumbshits and non-fatal accidents caused by assholery.

Blogwhoring while the moment lasts:

http://righteousbubba.blogspot.com/2009/06/wheres-mark-sanford.html

If only Sanford were wearing his red-and-white striped shirt, we’d have a much easier time trying to find him.

It’s tougher to make him do a silly run in that and I’m racing against the clock to get the joke out! Important!

But I have questions.

WHAT SORT OF COUNTERS DOES DAVID ROHDE HAVE??

Judging from Sanford’s official portrait, it looks like Vladimir Putin has been poisoning him. Or maybe it’s just really bad lighting.

Funniest thing I’ve seen all day.

Always had an affinity for Viet Nam vets, mainly just from talking to so many of them in cool dark lovely barrooms, and I thereby learned much about NOT BEING A WARMONGERING DICKHEAD. Younger people have not had my opportunities. I am not sure what this teaches us. Maybe the potential uses of Iraqi vets? Hate to make this into societal uses & all instead of about individual needs…but what the fuck else can we do?

Yes, in previous eras, it appears that high taxes world wars and/or Republican presidential administrations containing a Bush preceded the exploding debt and deficits.

Which of those is more destructive is left as an exercise for the reader.

For the heck of it, a happy joyful reminder of the equalizing benefits of American free marketing:

The wealthiest 0.1% of us, or approximately, what, 160,000 income earners, gets more per year than the bottom 120,000,000 income earners combined.

Or, each 1 of them receive as much per year as 750 of us in the bottom 75%.

This is totally unfair. It should be more like 1,000 of us. That’s how hard those top people work. They deserve more.

I suggest a further truncation to Week.

So, all these wingnuts going on and on about how the NY Times is a bunch of hypocrites for protecting their journalist but always endangering military personnel? Has a single one of these wingnuts offered a single example, or anything resembling evidence?

If one of them has, I haven’t seen it.

Note to conservatards: Liberals like examples. (But then, conservatards don’t seem to much care what honest, decent people think.)

obama is a tv character, sponsored by goldman sachs. any time you spend defending him is overshadowed by the thousands and thousands of full time paid flacks on tv and radio.

obama’s purpose is to lull you into apathy while the banks cart off what remains of america. goldman sachs this week reported their biggest bonuses ever. did you notice? or did you spend your time defending obama?

hey, lay off buddy. in order to get those tall internet dollars and feed their families, sadlyno.com has to finesse the truth like everyone else. when they defend obama, that’s code for doing the right thing, whatever that may be at the time.

http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&=&q=sachs+bonuses&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=

Yep, complete silence on the topic…

You know since we’re at war Obama should just go ahead and label them ‘enemy combatants’ and really fix the problem.

Bonuses aren’t paid till the end of the year.

The biz has turned around for them lately and they might be riding the gravy train by the end of the year.

Since they paid back all their TARP money I guess they can use their profits however they want. Build a giant tower of dildos for all I care.

Not that I’m all for TARP though. Seems quite a gamble that trillions worth of bad assets will improve so we can get our money back.

I think the trolls should eat a bag of Dick’s.

Fuck all with the banks, we should be regulating the lettuce.

There’s a Dick’s Drive In near where I live. There prices have barely changed since I was in high school, and that was a long time ago. You could easily feed a carload of teenagers with $5-10.

“You could easily feed gut-load a carload of teenagers…”

Frizzed.

Pudding! Kid, it’s everyone’s lucky day.

My sister loves the foodservice-grade pudding that comes in the big five-pound cans. One year I’m gonna get her one for her birthday.

Mmm, foodservice pudding. That stuff was one of the bright spots of the 1970s for me, for sure.

Hmmm. According to that graph, it appear that the optimal top marginal tax rate (for lowest debt/deficit) is about 70%. Thanks for that, RedState!

For the deranged wingnuts, the entire TSA transformed overnight on Jan 20, 2009 from an army of anti-muzzie terror-fighters to an army of Black Helicopter pilots.

Again, quite hilarious – and even more predictable.

What does Hawkins think the motivation is for Liberals? I mean, the very poor and illegal immigrants don’t vote, fervent environmentalists are a minority with far less money than the industrialists his side cozies up to, uneducated people tend to vote for his party while more educated people tend not to, so what does he consider to be the motivation for all this Liberal foot-shooting? For loose definitions of “think” and “consider”, of course.

He wrote for the New York Times, which totally makes him the liberalest Liberal in all of Liberalstan.

“There are times when an abortion is necessary. I know that. When you have a black and a white,” [Nixon] told an aide, before adding: “Or a rape.”

God, Nixon was an asshole.

At least Nixon allowed that interracial sex isn’t necessarily rape.

“There are times when an abortion is necessary. I know that. When you have a black and a white,” [Nixon] told an aide, before adding: “Or a rape.”

God, Nixon was an asshole.

He’d be considered a liberal now for the rape exclusion. Not sure about the miscegenation scenario. I suspect there are an awful lot of pro-infanticiders now who would agree with him, secretly.

Nixon, still creepy after all these years.

Reagan [yes, that Reagan] told the White House that the action — which would become known as the “Saturday Night Massacre” — was “probably the best thing that ever happened — none of them belong where they were,”

Reagan was an asshole too.

At least Nixon allowed that interracial sex isn’t necessarily rape.

Yeah, but heaven forfend that a child come from it. That wouldn’t even be human so they should just kill it.

Asshole. (Nixon, not you Rusty)

Nixon, still creepy after all these years.

No kidding. The whole “Jews are to blame for antisemitism, it’s like they have a death wish” was really cute, too.

The comments at the Hawkins’ piece are a hoot. A few people are trying to make sane comments but are being shouted down, usually in this fashion:

“you’re making an assertion, which clearly isn’t right. No proof. However, here is my set of assertions, which we know are right, just like we know the Holocaust museum shooter was a lib”

All those deranged nuts must have OxyRush on 24×7.

Reagan was an asshole too.

Too? TOO? Ronald Reagan was a bigger asshole than Nixon by a couple of orders of magnitude.

Speaking of Mumia love, and teh eeevil darkies, can anyone point me towards info about a bomb(?) being dropped on some radical group who where holed up in a house. I only say a brief video the other about it and thought ‘I’ll look into that later’ and now I cannot remember the name of the radical group and the GreatGagoozle is not helping me out. I think it happened in the late 70’s but I’m not sure?

Too? TOO? Ronald Reagan was a bigger asshole than Nixon by a couple of orders of magnitude.

Actually, discussing repig presidents of the last half-century has basically been an exercise in understanding that there are an infinity of infinities.

Seriously, there are big infinities and small infinities in higher math. All the repigs belong somewhere out there in terms of evilness, destructiveness, and fealty to the richest 1%

Speaking of Mark Sanford, perhaps he might want to ‘fess up to flying from Atlanta to whatever lax-on-cock-fighting-jurisdiction he ended up in. Because his cover story leaves him terribly exposed.

I don’t get it. I’ve always thought she was hot. Once I saw her in that little white dress on the “Honeymoon In Vegas” movie posters it was all over for me.

I liked her in that first movie she was in, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, but A: That was 24 years ago, and 2: Helen Hunt was in it too, so I wasn’t paying too much attention to SJP. Lately she looks more and more like Tom Petty in drag every time I see her.

Also, it took me 20 years to be able to put the name with the face, because all these three-name-names are the same to me: Sarah Jessica Parker, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jennifer Love Hewitt, etc. etc. etc. It’s a weird mental block, but a persistent one.

I HOPE YOU LIE-BRALS CAN PUT OUR POLITICAL DIFFERENCES ASIDE, EVEN IF YOU ARE DISGUSTING COMMIE-HIPPIES, AND SAY A PRAYER FOR MR. GOVERNOR SANFORD, AS HE HAS BEEN HIKING IN THE WOODS AND CAME DOWN WITH A DISFIGURING CASE OF POISON IVY ON HIS MOST INTIMATE AREAS, SO BAD THAT IT MAKES IT LOOK LIKE HIS BOTTOM WAS SPANKED UNTIL HE WAS BLACK AND BLUE!!! THIS IS AN AWFUL THING TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE, AND MOST OF ALL A REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR, SO STOP BEING GODLESS FOR A MINUTE AND PRAY TO JESUS THAT NOBODY NOTICES!!!

I liked her in that first movie she was in, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, but A: That was 24 years ago

I never liked her. I blamed her for corrupting that cute young Mathew Broderick*. Recruited him into the heterosexual lifestyle, she did.

* This was also back when – when he was cute and young.

How kan we not haz new tred when Andy “The Weasel” McCarthy is raving?

The fact is that, as a man of the hard Left, Obama is more comfortable with a totalitarian Islamic regime than he would be with a free Iranian society. In this he is no different from his allies like the Congressional Black Caucus and Bill Ayers, who have shown themselves perfectly comfortable with Castro and Chàvez. Indeed, he is the product of a hard-Left tradition that apologized for Stalin and was more comfortable with the Soviets than the anti-Communists (and that, in Soros parlance, saw George Bush as a bigger terrorist than bin Laden).

It gets better from there.

Rich Lowry tries to appear sane:

Andy, whatever policy differences we have with him, Obama surely would rather have a free Iran than a dictatorial, anti-American one.

The weasel fires back:

Finally, I detect in your post a sense that I’m this close to the fringe.

Sharp as a 2×4, that boy. Go read the whole thing. Precious.

Wait… no, I’m a liberal too. I guess I have to blame society.

It can’t be my fault, PeeJ, I can only offer waffle makers to recruit gay men. For hetero women I only have the toaster to offer.

For hetero women I only have the toaster to offer.

But I already have a toaster. A womb toaster. I don’t need another one right now.

Hee hee, now I have a picture of the baby popping out like cartoon toast. Too bad there’s not a dial, so if you like your babies a little less toasted you could turn it down to 8 1/2 months, but of course the danger would be it would be too underdone and you’d have to put it back in to cook a little longer.

That’s a good question, M. If my reaction is the message, then the message is: “GAH! Ribcage!!!1!”

“GAH! Ribcage!!!1!”

I just got a mental image of the lil’ tyke with his hands gripping the ribs, poor little face pressed up against the bars, wistfully dreaming of freedom….

BITCHES!

Sadly, not a chance in hell,

Actually, I think I can just catch “Nobody Knows the Trouble I Seen”, but I have to listen carefully.

Even mild criticism of my beliefs offends me.

Finally, an honest statement from Mike Adams.

If you read further, you come to understand that he only thinks he was writing a satire.

It’s a good thing Jesus loves him, because everyone else thinks he’s a dick.

Fafnir! Yay!
Damn, that little source of sanity fell out of me pointy li’l head (and bookmark transfers). Thanks for the reminder.
Behind the curve here, but when is little Studly due?

And even Jesus has some reservations.

Septembrish. It’s going to be a long, hot, painfully kicked summer.

Just be thankful he’s not doing “Jailhouse Rock”.

My rotten little perisher is now 10 but I have this wonderful memory of him sleeping on my chest in the hospital when he was but an hour old or so. A big pink frog. Wid a pointy head. He needed that pointy little head turned before he came out. I believe the doctor said….(wait for it).

“scuse MA finGARS.”

Septembrish.

That one tune they do about the one guy who chases down the other guy who cut him off in traffic and they both end up getting nuzzled by a manatee? Classic.

A good month in which to be born, if I do say so myself.

I dunno. As much as I’ve been enjoying the whole pregnancy thing, I’ve been suggesting to him that if he were to choose to make his appearance in late August, he could have a pool party for his birthday every year.

And even Jesus has some reservations.

He did, and we kept the table ready for him, but he never showed up. I *knew* he’d already had his last supper!

Yglesias touches ever-so-briefly on Reagan’s involvement in the Saturday Night Massacre http://yglesias.thinkprogress.org/archives/2009/06/ronald-reagans-lawlessness.php today. It would be nice to see a blogger who doesn’t suffer from Polite Young Liberal Man Syndrome the way Matt the Y (and Fresh to Death Ezra the K) does deal with this at some length because, as Yglesias mildly complains “Reagan is becoming the subject of bipartisan reverence.”

Then about every fifteen minutes our vision would go completely blue and we would suffer grand mal epileptic seizures and piss all over ourselves until somebody rebooted us…

And?

“GAH! Ribcage!!!1!”
You are not performing the Y-incision properly.
My bone saw: let me show you it.

I guess Amy Alkon slept through the Bush Administration.

All of them?!?!?

*shudders*

Oh, Finster…

Also, it took me 20 years to be able to put the name with the face, because all these three-name-names are the same to me: Sarah Jessica Parker, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jennifer Love Hewitt, etc. etc. etc. It’s a weird mental block, but a persistent one.

Also, Barack Hussein Obama. He looks just like them!

Also.

When I’m in California, I always respectfully visit the grave of the dear departed Ronald Reagan.

I want to make sure the motherfucker is still in it and still dead.

Not ’till the third date.

But those onesies don’t pay for themselves, you know?

Word of advice on onesies: the sizing is BULLSHIT. Especially Gerber brand.

Yeah. Just ask David Vitter.
