Yesterday I caught up replying to comments and returned all outstanding visits. Then the inside temperature shot up to over 90°. I could not get to sleep last night and have had less than a couple hours, so I’m not sure how I’ll do today. The Constitution series will continue tomorrow. I just worked on it for well over an hour and accidently deleted the article on the First Amendment without having saved it. I’m just too tired to do it again right now.

Short Take:
From Think Progress: But today on Fox News Sunday, Kyl threw his concerns about the deficit out the window when discussing tax cuts. Kyl said Congress should not allow the Bush tax cuts to expire, but when host Chris Wallace asked, “How are you going to pay the $678 billion to keep Bush tax cuts for the wealthy?” Kyl wouldn’t answer. And in fact, he went so far as to say tax cuts should never have to be paid for.
This is GOP typical. They are deficit hawks when it comes to benefitting common people like $30 billion to expend unemployment benefits, but spending $678 billion on the rich is OK. What hypocrites!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Kyl is a first class asshole – give tax breaks to people who don’t need and increase the deficit? My, my, how are you going to explain that one.
Steele says he’s not going to be ‘pushed out’ so we’ll have more comedy for years to come. He is the gift that keeps on giving to the Dems.
I hope it gets cooler for you today!
Thanks Lisa. It is cooler today. It will take me a few days tp recover my former self. 🙂
The AARP newsletter had an article on the Republicans attempting to solve the deficit by slashing social security. Do they even listen to themselves?
A few of the koolaided wrote Letters castigating AARP for advocating support of social security and Medicare at the expense of their ‘oh-so-precious’ deficit reduction. Sheesh. It’s sad that AARP members (who receive this newsletter) could be so ignorant of their own self-interest. So, these people should refuse to accept their checks each month.
As the Tea Party sign said “Keep Government Out of My Medicare.” Sigh.
AARP supporting the GOP is like the NAACP supporting the KKK… or the GOP.
Marva, there’s just no logic to Teabuggery.
