Many people around the world will pay dearly for our social experiments. We supersized the Peter Principal.

But in true socialist fashion, other people will accumulate vast wealth.

The Washington D.C. area sure has been booming during the recession. You guys doing some fracking and you're not telling us? What, exactly, has Washington been producing that might account for the local booming economy?

I left Detroit (Auburn Hills) to move to El Paso.

I found El Paso to be superior in most ways. Although I did prefer the foreign country South across the river in Detroit. I'd rather be lost in Juarez than lost in Detroit.

I had not heard of these riots. I did hear the Sergio Garcia said something that may have been racist about Tiger Woods? Maybe Ellen started it.

Didn't many in the Obama administration owe back taxes when they joined the Washington establishment? How do all these 'qualified' bureaucrats earn management positions in government yet they seem unwilling, unable or unconcerned with following regulations for which they are responsible?

Did the IRS treat Democrats easier than conservatives?

100% of gross income?

I just wonder how much you got to keep before you work for free?

Work? I wonder how these folks earn their income, I can't imagine any real businessman who was that successful but could not avoid that high rate.

I suspect anyone paying that high rate has some quasi government/union job doing something that would never yield that high an income in a different region.

I wonder how entertainer/athlete income is counted if they earn it outside France?

Did Enoch write for NRO as well?

Not much consolation, but it's good to know Democratic consultants are every bit as sleazy as Republican consultants.

They all know why someone did or didn't win and they all know what will hurt or help in the next election.

This wont change anything. Progresses have corrupted more than a critical mass of schools and media.

Kind of like sex and drugs in the early 80s before aids and crack.

I only have sex with one person and all my drugs are legal and often prescribed.

Speaking of Newt, what would have happened if we would have left the government shut down for a few months back in the 90's?

p.s. - make sure you discuss your intended wardrobe with a loose lipped stooge.

How many single women do you think will attend? Put an add in Craigslist or whatever to crash the party and the ruckus will overshadow your absence.

Lie.

Tell the proper people you are going to attend. Then the day of the event have a shoe emergency. Call one of the proper people to tell them you will be late. Later mention the sole saved due to your emergency intervention then apologize for missing the wedding.

Spend the next couple of days planning your emergency story. I suggest NOT using a you-tube video. This is a good time to blame something on your husband or one of his near-do-well buddies/family.

Yes, all need jail. Did anyone at the GSA serve time or repay the money they wasted? Isn't government what we all do together? Or is it what we all do TO each other.

The problem is rampant. Jail and fines. Anyone who provides evidence against superiors may have their fines reduced - maybe.

I agree we have a real scandal.

When the dust has cleared will anything be better?

Some bureaucrats will be fired from IRS, then hired to work on GSA parties in LasVegas.

Petraeus knows why Vince Foster died.

If they get rid of the Star of David that will mess up my coexist bumper sticker.

It's the government site monitoring. Zafar tried to fool them into leaving us alone for awhile with that post from Slate, ton no avail. Ricochet is in their crosshairs.
