They Shoot Rich Guys, Don't They?

From what I can tell, in order to "prove" that rich guy's secretaries pay a higher rate than the rich do, liberals are adding the 15% FICA tax to the regular income tax. Not only was this never done before (since it's not an income tax), they are adding both the employers' and employees' contributions. Wasn't it liberals who worked so hard to convince us that anything the employer paid wasn't actually a tax?

The Sliming of "Pink Slime"

Use of the term "pink slime" is derogatory and probably libelous. ABC News used the term almost exclusively in describing the product when the story broke, which shows malice. The company that produces the product has filed for bankruptcy, which shows damages. Libel is not an easy case to win, thanks to NY Times v. Sullivan, but I'd love to open up this particular case on ABC. I think it's got a good chance.

This is a difficult time for conservatives - if liberals back abortion just a little longer, there won't be any liberals in 25 years - then again, there's that morality thing...

I understand why you use the term "demotards" - but it still makes me think of tight underwear. Then again, maybe that's why you use it...
As per Iowa, Ohio will probably announce in two weeks that Santorum actually won, but by then no one will be paying attention.
In the US it's the "Volt," in Europe it's the "Ampera." For sales in India I recommend the name, "Ohhhhmmmmmm."

Prohibition

You're right about the Mexican angle. That featured prominently in coverage of MJ use before it was outlawed in the 1930s. BTW, my father had a ranch in south Texas back then and Mexican workers on the ranch would collect MJ that grew wild and smoke it after work, while most gringos drank. The funny part - during Prohibition, alcohol was illegal and marijuana was legal!
