Obama Changes Tax Plan

Barack Obama has changed his tax plan just a little bit so he can claim that it's not welfare.  Now there is a work requirement to get his "tax cut."  It wasn't the not working that made it welfare; it was the giveaway to people who don't pay taxes.

 

Did you know the term "socialist" is an old code word for black?

 

You have to love this redistributionism:  an Albany, New York city council member wants to force higher-paid government workers to take 10 days a year of unpaid time off, so they can afford to give raises to those who make less.

 

Celebrities are successful in getting younger demographics out to vote, regardless of whether the celebrities know anything about the issues.

 

House Republicans are trying to get a special counsel to investigate the failures of Fannie and Freddie.  Democrats aren't crazy about the idea, since they're the ones who would be investigated.

 

The Republican Party, going through an identity crisis?  You don't say!

 

Here's an idea to make sure there aren't any more gas shortages in Georgia:  build refineries in the Savannah area.

 

We'll have more discussion of the proposed Constitutional Amendments today.  Jim Wooten with the AJC agrees with me, that Amendment 2 should be a definite "NO" vote.

 

The Atlanta Press Club had scheduled debates for Atlanta-area members of Congress, and none of the incumbents showed up.  We know what that's like.

 

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was in Macon this morning to raise money for Rick Goddard.  He's not optimistic about the Republicans' chances.

 

Jeremiah Wright (of God DAMN America fame) has decided to postpone a speaking engagement in Macon.

 

Bad economic news throughout Middle Georgia:  the Rheem plant in Milledgeville is cutting about 400 jobs, and the Medical Center of Central Georgia is cutting over 200 jobs.

 

The big news we teased on Monday coming from the District Attorney's office is that 7 people have been charged with vehicular homicide in the death of a 19-year-old drunk driver.
