I remember when I lived in Calif., you got a coupon for KFC.
This isn't fair to early voters or people in Taos where there's no Starbucks OR Ben & Jerry's.
If Mondo gives anything away without some kind of proof, 1/2 the town will show up to freeload, btw. |

LIDDY DOLE.
Her eyes have been pulled so tight! Just saw the photo at today's www.huffingtonpost.com .
She's really starting to look like the living dead. |

| Just caught Affleck's Olbermann. Hilarious. Affleck stumbled over his words, and broke character a couple of times, but he may have found his dream role. |

I kinda think that's cool.
Oh, good. We just had one open a few blocks from here. |

In an online newspaper Australians who would you vote to be President of the United States?
93% - Barack Obama
7% – John McCain
Now there's some good odds for you  |

In the NY Times Style section today, there was a "Dear Abby" type of letter from a California woman who is upset because her neighbors are going whole hog with the support Prop. 8 (ban gay marriage) signs - in the yard, on the RV's, etc. She has just ONE anti-Prop. 8 sign and needed advice because she wants to go on a rampage and tear down the neighbors' signs. She feels they are interfering with her right of free speech.
The answer was that she should pay a very polite visit to the neighbors and voice her concerns to them.
What a crock! Both the Ethicist and the Style Section advisor are must-read's every week. I find myself terribly amused at what seems to be bothering the sensibilities of the Times' readers. |

| What she needs to do is string up her Chrismas lights to say "NO to Prop. 8" Preferably flashing. |

Mo,
the top federal income tax rate would revert from 33% presently to 36% under Obama. That's the rate that the high earners are paying, and 36% is what it was during the Clinton years. Basically just a repeal of the Bush tax cuts for the rich.
That's why some were parodying McCain's tirades as: 33% is reasonable, 34% still American, 35% is socialist and 36% goes over into full-blown communism.
Mo, if you are interested, take a look at this Feeaknomics page.
They present three graphs explaining the changes that Obama and McCain propose in the tax rates.
It's interesting, because each graph presents the data in a different way and gives a different impression.
EDITED: now with new & improved link .. which actually works. |

I've edited and fixed the link in my original post.
It just got mangled slightly.
Try it again.
(the quoted link in your post will still be wrong). |

| My guess would be no 'rainbow coalition' (or nation), although South Africa have already appropriated the nation tag. |

Thanks. It looks to me from the 3 charts as if the mega-rich will pay more than the just over $250K rich. But maybe I just don't understand the charts. |
