How I Miss
dearoldlove:
I thought I would miss you happily, instead I miss you desperately.
I can never do this.
Don't Say It!
dearoldlove:
The problem is, no matter how much time passes, when we say ‘I love you’ at the end of our messages, I’m scared I’m never going to mean it as platonically as I’m meant to.
Yes. True.

George Jarkesy (@jarkesy on Twitter) ponders why it is impossible for people to focus on the good deeds of politicians, rather than dreg through the scandals. Very apropos in today’s dog-eat-dog political climate.

letterstomycountry:
Statehate recently voiced frustration with those who would conflate the morality of a law with the existence of a law, i.e. “It’s bad because it’s illegal! It’s illegal because it’s bad!”
The moribund infirmity of this line of thinking cannot stand up to even the…

More on the Christmas Tree Tax →
laliberty:
[C]onsumers may not notice a 15 cent price hike on a once a year purchase. The small size of the tax doesn’t make it any less stupid though. The fact that much of the industry practically begged the government to impose the tax on them doesn’t help either…
If they want to fund a promotional campaign for their product, they should do it themselves, without involving the USDA.

Obama Fundraiser Pushed Solyndra Deal From Inside →
“An elite Obama fundraiser hired to help oversee the administration’s energy loan program pushed and prodded career Department of Energy officials to move faster in approving a loan guarantee for Solyndra, even as his wife’s law firm was representing the California solar company, according to internal emails made public late Friday. “How hard is this? What is he waiting for?” wrote Steven J....

Ten Years After 9/11: Have We Become the Enemy of... →
Ten years after the world as we knew it came to a sudden end, we find ourselves charting hostile territory. While we were distracted by military carnage overseas and color-coded terror-alert systems here at home, the economy has crumbled at the hands of corporate oligarchs, reckless bankers, and a national debt escalating due to the costs of endless wars, pork-barrel spending, and a lack of...

One huge reason I'd like Ron Paul to be President:
libertarians:
to demonstrate to people how quickly it’s possible to bring the troops home.
And how cheaply it can be done.

Trillion. With a ‘T’. Yes, yes.

Well, well, well. We already knew that Obamacare was going to raise premiums, and it has. Now it looks like the number of people who have health insurance has actually dropped under the new health care law.

I Voted for Obama, Now I'm Voting for Ron Paul →
After 8 years of GWB and the lies about WMDs, 9-11, Monsanto, Iraq…etc…anyone coming from the other party looked like a better choice. I was somehow still under the illusion that the Democratic Party would work for the people and not corporate/banking/defense industry interests.
I cried when Obama won. I really thought it was a new dawn for the US and the world as a whole. I was so ashamed of...

David Plouffe: Obama's election guru →
50statepress:
In my continuing quest to flush out and overcome any lingering naivete about elected officials’ motivation, I note the following from The Week:
With the relentlessly pragmatic and detail-oriented Plouffe now shaping Obama’s image on a daily basis, political considerations play a part in every decision the White House makes. “Everything is about the re-elect,” an insider who’s...
