Jeb Bush on the proposed Florida Toilet Paper Tax:
He said, that if toilet paper is taxed, people might use less of it and that's not necessarily a good thing.
The president's brother Jeb Bush
When he heard word of taxes said shush
I'd save a penny a year
By not wiping my rear
But what would that mean for my tush.

From the mailbox, thanks Drew:
In the CQ Weekly (March 7), the following #'s (and mostly their analysis, too):
Over the Feb 21 recess, the GOP machine:
-Placed 267,694 calls to build support for Bush's Soc. Sec. plan
-Mobilized 3,100 "advocates" to attend town hall meetings, call radio programs and reach out to media
-Linked 247 blogs to a pro-bush online petition
-Appeared on 38 radio shows
-Placed 18 Letters of the Editor
-Placed 10 op-eds
And the American public is still unwilling to trust Bush on Social Security, doesn't think privatization is the right way to go and doesn't want their Social Security benefits cut....
Check this out from Thanks Ricky
From reader Rayni check out Catherine Austin Fitts and learn about the Popsicle Index is she a nut or a visionary.
I don't think the American people can speak much louder - it's a shame the GOP is turning a deaf ear....

ov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (news - web sites)'s administration has acknowledged making several videos masquerading as news stories to promote its agenda, creating an uproar from Democrats and labor leaders in a controversy parallel to one ignited by the Bush administration.

Lots of bad, bad puns in that first story.
WOW! So I go and read about the posicle index - nice theorey. I get it and already kind of live by it - but then clicked on the other link Catherine Austin Fitts . This woman seems to have her shit together. Not only does she make some interesting allegations but she seems to have facts to back it up.
If you read and commented on the Ward Churchill Piece then you really want to read this because it describes how we are hurting other countries and why.
I (from my small world) knew our government was connected to a lot of these things but I was very fuzzy on some of the relationships. This is a very comprehensive look at the situation.
I think she is revolutionary - and good ones are usually a bit visionary and nut :)
WOW AGAIN! I made my last comment when I had only read 1/2 way through the article. She gets into some spirituallity and some claims that are definitely out there. She may be a bit of a nut BUT the she does have some good ideas and I would still recomend the read.
