    Hello again, Steve:

    To suggest that Obama should pay MORE than he owes, is just as stupid as thinking that Al Gore should ride a bicycle to his appointments...

    Had the congress acted he would have been affected like everyone else. They didn't. I don't whine about the rich, I merely point out that they sank the economy, and have not reciprocated being saved from their own mistakes and feed us this "job creator" nonsense.

    Gee, every time I say that you whine about "government handouts."

    Here's the thing, if that's all he owes that's all he should pay. I'm consistent in that, you seem to have the change of heart. But you do know it's extremely hypocritical for the man to have beat us to death about paying your "fair share" which I believe to him is 30%, but that's normal for rich libs. Just as it's normal for you libs to excuse your elite while yammering about the one percent ruining the country.

    Most libs long to be in the 1%, they just don't want everyone else in the 1% and if they are, they want to tell you how much money you can have. Obama has made it policy.

    I think we've discussed that to death, the subject at the moment is Mr. Fair Share's ever declining tax rate.

    UAE men 'too handsome' for Saudi festival

    Quote:

    Three Emirati men were ejected from a festival in Saudi Arabia as they were deemed “too handsome”, leading authorities to fear women could become attracted to them, it has been reported.

    According to Arabic language Elaph newspaper, the UAE nationals were taking part in a heritage event in the capital Riyadh on Sunday when they were thrown out by Saudi’s religious police.

    Saudi Arabia, a strictly conservative Sunni Muslim society, prohibits women from interacting with unrelated males.

    “A festival official said the three Emiratis were taken out on the grounds they are too handsome and that the Commission members feared female visitors could fall for them,” the newspaper said.
    At least now I know not to make plans for the festival.

    Let's see, bombing suspects on the loose, a major catastrophe in Texas, the murder trial of the century (from which the Slimes pulled the reporter they just sent), and Obama whining about not getting his way on gun control. Which story is is news to the NY Slimes? Obama's whine and Fox's bias.

    Quote:

    ... The decision not to show the president’s angry rejoinder to the Senate vote — or to cover the vote in any detail an hour earlier — was the latest example of Fox’s evident lack of interest in the gun violence debate that has captivated many other media outlets.

    The channel, a favorite of conservatives, has refrained from extensive coverage while MSNBC, a favorite of progressives, has taken every conceivable opportunity to talk about it.

    Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, the co-hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” have openly campaigned for legislative reforms after the mass shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. in December, which left 26 people dead.

    On Thursday, Mr. Scarborough, a registered Republican who promotes his conservative credentials as well as an independent streak, assailed the lawmakers who voted against the background check legislation. Citing the failed Senate vote as evidence, Mr. Scarborough said, “This party is moving toward extinction.

    That would come as news to Fox fans, who have heard comparatively little about the subject. While most of “Joe” was dedicated to guns on Thursday, Fox’s morning show, “Fox & Friends,” didn’t mention the word once. It focused instead on news about a Texas fertilizer plant explosion.

    Dude, did you hear about the explosion? 35-40 dead, 160 at least injured, blocks of the town were leveled and the Slimes thinks TV hosts who were campaigning for gun control whining about not getting their way is most newsworthy? Sigh...

    MSNBC gave the explosion at West some very extensive coverage yesterday, been there many times over the years. It was a must stop o Ft. Hood. A real industrial tragedy for the people there who are a small close knit community. They are still in search and rescue mode.

    That's not the point though, the point is this Slimes dude being perturbed at Fox for covering the explosion instead of their pet cause. I think the explosion was more newsworthy at the time, plenty of time to focus on Obama's whining later.
