…I find this suggestion completely repugnant:
Or exempting the first $20,000 of income from payroll taxes and paying for it with a payroll tax on incomes over $250,000.
But as someone who makes nowhere near $250,000 a year, I find it vaguely appealing.

The murders of children?
Genocide?
Cannibalism?
Nope.
It was the need to punish a company that dared to spill oil and then had the audacity to pay for the clean up and restitution!
When it comes to BP and the Gulf Oil Spill, Brad Pitt is direct and to the point. If he was in power, those responsible for the oil spill would have more than cleanup efforts to worry about. Pitt has said that the death penalty would be a viable option if it were up to him.
The “Ocean’s Eleven” actor said he usually opposed capital punishment but would make an exception if he could. Lucky for BP executives that Pitt is not in a seat of power.
Pitt’s harsh words for BP are found in Spike Lee’s new documentary about New Orleans – “If God Is Willing and Da Creek Don’t Rise.”
“I was never for the death penalty before – I am willing to look at it again,” the 46-year-old said when asked about the situation.

Politics aside and dismissing the question of whether we should have been there at all…did we win?
Lose?
Tie?
Was it another Vietnam?
Was it Korea?
Was it something entirely new?
I have absolutely no clue.

…that they lost credibility with me.
But when even the Washington Post says you went sharply left, I’m thinking you probably went a little too far:
Time adopted what Stengel calls “reported analysis,” stories with a clear point of view — often left of center — that were rooted in shoe-leather work. Newsweek, which moved more sharply left, bet the ranch last year on more opinionated essays and columns — and lost.

The New York Times new public editor wrote:
I believe that journalists should leave their political views at the door when they report and edit the news. I’m a registered Democrat who voted for Barack Obama and then Scott Brown, so, as you can see, I have already left my views at the door!

Why does the Dane County annual traffic fatality rate far exceed Milwaukee County’s?
I suggest it’s because everyone in Dane County keeps trying to drive to the left.
