We Know The Drill

Besides being a better football team, there's another reason to prefer Michigan State over U of M. I'm just going to be blunt here: Michigan kills babies.

I know that's old news, but I thought it appropriate in light of recent athletic events to rip on Michigan a little.

Anyway. Midterms are in about two weeks. Sadly, it's been more than that amount of time since I've posted, which shows how busy high school is. (Last I knew there were 75 days until the elections.)

Personally, I'm supremely ticked. We have the chance to take back America and we can't even unite our party or pick candidates who stand for anything but, basically, moderate Democrat ideas. If you're not a Republican, please don't soil the name. (I consider myself a Tea Party Constitutional Traditional Conservative GOP Republican, emphasis on the "Grand Old" in GOP.)

And of course, clinging to what hope they have, Congress is postponing the vote on extending the Bush tax cuts. If the Democrats voted on that before the election, their being screwed would be more than speculation.

But that never stops Obama from running his mouth. You'd think he got paid to--oh, yeah. You know, I sometimes almost feel a little sorry for the guy. Not really, but it has crossed my mind. I mean, he's too stupid to know when and how to lie. He seems bent on destroying Republicans while subconsciously destroying his own party. I suppose I should thank him for that.

Anyway, if you're enjoying your retirement, lounging by the golf course, reminiscing about your hard work in your youth, well... say goodbye to the golf course, at least. Because the government just might (which is news-speak for "they will") tax your dividends as income to pay for their ever-expanding budget.

You know, if I was a Democrat, I would have so much fun in the focus groups I'm sure they have. I can think of tons of ways to suck your hard-earned money right out of your pockets. How about taxing you for anything your minor children earn, and taxing them, too? Bonus! How about taxing them for the five bucks they made mowing the lawn? Basically, anything is taxable. So watch out.

I'm so sick of hearing this "Obama had this dumped on him, he inherited it" crap. Well, sucks to be him! He shouldn't have run for President, then. The per-year rate at which he's piling on the debt is already more than double Bush's, and he's been in office less than two years! (Heaven forbid he get re-elected.) You think he's going to stop? Between blaming Bush and becoming the savior of terrorists everywhere, I doubt he has time to rethink his economic policies. He'd have to figure out how to think first, anyway.

It's times like this when I'm almost tempted to believe in evolution. Some people really seem to have the minds of apes.

Speaking of that, I wrote a myth for English, "The Origin of the Origin of Species." It's about how the theories of evolution and overpopulation were born. I'll leave it at that, and you can finish the myth yourselves. It's great because my teacher is a big lib (who I'm sure considers himself some kind of independent, "new" liberal), but also a great teacher, so I'm hoping he got a kick out of it. I almost wrote it on the origin of the liberal, but thought that to be a bit much. :D

On taxing dividends: there's apparently constitutionally not even supposed to be an income tax, an argument I'll be researching extensively (when I find time).

So. In summary, the apes in Washington are trying to screw us without officially proclaiming it. Honestly? The Democratic Party has been around how long? We know the drill.
