Posted by Morbo Morbo has enjoyed stepping in for Carpetbagger today. I’d like to finish with one last post, admittedly off topic. Has anyone else noticed how dangerous handymen are? Nearly every day you can go on Nexis and find stories like this Nov. 23 AP dispatch from Nevada:
Posted by Morbo Maryland is a perfectly nice blue state cursed with a Republican governor. Like Maryland governors of the past, the current occupant of that office, Robert Ehrlich, appears to be slowly going insane. Ehrlich, who apparently thinks he is King George III of Great Britain, has ordered his press secretary to stop communicating […]
Posted by Morbo Saturday’s Boston Globe reported on the latest effort by the “religious left” to get its act together. (If Carpetbagger were here, he’d give you the link; I was unable to find it at the Globe’s site, www.boston.com. Try Google news.) Anyway, leaders of this movement make an interesting point.

Posted by Morbo The idea behind the progressive income tax is pretty simple: You make more money, you pay a higher tax rate. If you’re a finance titan, professional athlete or even a trust-fund baby who pulls in hundreds of millions a year, a 30 percent tax rate isn’t going to kill you. You can […]
I’m a Meet the Press junky. It seems like every week there’s some news made on the program. Here’s one admission I never expected to hear from Jerry Falwell: DR. JERRY FALWELL: Because I’m a Democrat. I don’t vote Republican. I vote Christian. And I believe that he is pro-life, pro-family, pro-Israel, strong national defense, […]
Posted by PWalker Hopefully your Thanksgiving was better than this. But maybe you could relate to Maureen Dowd’s description: It’s lovely – if you enjoy hearing about how brilliant Ann Coulter is, how misguided The New York Times’s editorial page is, and how valiant the president is as he tries to stop America’s slide into […]
