Play it as it lays in barren Hollywood. Lefties do it to themselves. Dinner with Mahmoud. End run on the economy. Plus more.

When Will
Biden Pony Up?

Last Friday, after Sen. Biden opined that it’s patriotic for the rich to pay more taxes, I “growled” at the Arlington County Taxpayers Association website, citing Judge Learned Hand, reportedly America’s most quoted jurist, who said “there is not even a patriotic duty to increase one’s taxes.”
In addition, I noted the opinion of the National Taxpayers Union’s Kristina Rasmussen who said, “If your patriotism is measured by how much you pay, I would argue that the wealthy are pretty gosh darn patriotic.”
p>Rather than teach a constitutional law seminar in his evening hours, Sen. Biden should spend some time reading tax law. br> — Timothy Wise br> President, Arlington County (Virginia) Taxpayers Association /p>

Bailout 2008 by David Jeffrey
Like a bloodied warrior,
laying broken and torn.
Like a dying soldier, hopeless and forlorn.
But the blood, it be green,
the color of money.
And the soldier is an economy,
and it is anything but funny.
Broken are it's people and shattered are their dreams.
Thanks to the ultra rich and their full proof schemes.
It is a tragedy with more pain to come.
Finance will be Hell, and their wills will be done.
