Really? Who's gonna do the shit kickin'? You?

Good post, Justin. Unfortunately, some here believe tighter government control of the media is in order regarding AM radio and other formats. Any thoughts, Matt?

FDR absolutely was socialist, and his alphabet soup programs only deepened and prolonged The Great Depression. Fortunately, we had a supreme court that still believed in the constitution. Do you recall how FDR tried to circumvent that little obstacle? Will Obama try the same?

Democrats have made sheltering and hiring of illegals a big issue in the past regarding cabinet appointees. Remember the "housekeeper" issue a few years back? Obama has visited this aunt numerous times and obviously did not care much about her immigration status or her financial status.

Go home, commie boy.

Since most Americans consider socialism pretty far left, you're probably correct. It's going to be an interesting 4 years if the socialist wins--and an interesting 2 or three months if he doesn't.

I'm not running for president. Obama is. Asshat.

A brother living in a hut in abject poverty in Kenya, and now an aunt living illegally here in the USA for years in a government subsidized housing project. Just great. http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/11/01/barack-obamas-kenyan-aunt-living-illegally-boston/ Even the hard-left MSNBC is reporting this time: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27481680/

Your chart doesn't take resource extraction into account. The port cities that export (and import) products produced in rural states (the raw materials at the very least) typically pay the higher white-collar salaries and are bases of operation for large companies. No surprises here. Your "chart" means nothing.

First intelligent thing you've said in a long time.

Is that last part a dodge? I don't believe she has ever suggested 1st amendment violations exist in the slanted media portrayals of she and her family. On topic, let's suppose you lived in a hard-majority Republican city or town. How would you feel if FoxNews ran a story about all of the pro-Democrat signs in your yard and posted your home address for all to see? Would that constitute intimidation? I believe it would.

Fox is biased? I'm appalled.

The topic is biased journalism, yes? The Stranger is clearly trying to intimidate private Seattle citizens who don't toe the line.

AKA, "mob rule".

The resident's address is blurred here, but was not in the recent publication. Is this what you have in mind when you discuss a free press, Matt? The incitement of violence toward "non-believers"? What are you saying here: That pictures of yard signs endorsing republicans are inciting balance? Say what? Read the article, Matt. (Scroll down) Why would they post a private citizen's address?

Do I hear $90,000? $50,000 anyone? Do I hear $38,000! Going once...

Can you back up this assertion? Who are these evil barons holding "most" of this paper? All I see in your statement is froth. BTW: How are mom and dad?

Kind of scary how Obama has used the power of government to try to shut down a private citizen with an opinion. And he's not even in office yet.

"[update: The $40.6 billion and $39.5 billion figures are after-tax profits. For 2006, Exxon's EBT (earnings before tax) was $67.4 billion, it paid $27.9 billion in taxes (41.4% tax rate), and its NIAT (net income after tax), or profit, was $39.5 billion.]"

Wow, that's a whole lotta taxes! And all that profit for those evil shareholders? Take a look at your 401k--it's probably one of the only bright spots. Don't know what 2008 looks like for the taxes v profits picture, but feel free to research. Obama wants to impose a 'windfall profits' tax? All he'll be doing is stealing from investors like you and me and forcing still more companies to move offshore.

What you and your homo polish boy do down in Bend is your own business, but I'm not into farm animals or men (although the two of you barely qualify), so you and Gastrickiss will just have to share amongst yourselves--and maybe flip a coin or do rock/paper/scissors to decide who gets to go first and who has to hold the camera. I would recommend you two use protection, but I hear you don't even know how to place it.

In order: It does. It does not address payroll taxes for lower income Americans. Yes. As usual. The Messiah would be most unhappy that you sprayed on the internets during his tri-network call to prayer.

IMO; he ties with Woodrow Wilson, but he takes the cake for worst ex-presidents.
