MICHAEL STEELE IN "THE 1% SOLUTION"

"Michael Steele seen as leader of the GOP by just 1%" -- USA Today, 6/10/09


No, Mr. Steele, you really aren't.

Granted, it's USA Today, which is to newspapers what, well, the NYT is to newspapers. But still, has Michael Steele really made the slightest impression on this party, which is as fractious and argumentative as it has ever been since the days of Reagan?

Worse, he has done nothing to bring the differing factions together, or even shown much willingness to listen to the base on which factions to support. Instead, he has personally attacked those voices in the party who call for a new direction away from the ruinous accomodation and prodigal cohabitation that has cost us both houses and put the nation's economy on the lifesupport that Obama's healthcare reforms will make sure it can't afford.

And he has shown no indication that GOP business under his leadership will be anything other than business as usual, with our 'representatives' meekly kowtowing to their Democratic 'colleagues' solely in the hope that their personal rice bowls will go unspilled... until it is convenient for the Democrats.

He shows all the tactical savvy of a garment district schmatte-dealer who brings in mobsters to keep the workers from organizing, and then is surprised to find he's lost his business to his real enemies. He thinks that the Washington political herd is his party's hope for the future, not the Americans who vote for it, and donate to it.

He's wrong, and worse, he shows no sign he realizes he's wrong, or why.

It's time for the entrenched old-style Republicans to go, Steele and Cornyn and all their kind, if we are to make room to create a party that will save this country from the Democrats as they did in 1865.

Tea Party Tax Tips

"I'm a naughty President..."

OK, by now, you've either paid your taxes, or you're about to.  If you've already paid them, congratulations! That means you've already accomplished a feat that just about everybody Barack Obama knows couldn't.

And whether you've paid or you're going to pay, either way you're about to be handed the bill for the biggest increase in government spending and government debt in 250 years.

I think we need to show Mister Obama and the Congress just how much we appreciate their little gift.  And April 15th is the perfect day to do it.  So here are a few suggestions:

1.  OBEY THE LAW.  None of you are Friends of Barry, even if you voted for him, even if you -- brace yourselves -- donated to him.  So fill out the right forms, include all the right attachments, and pay it if you owe it.  This year, anyway.

        

2.  THEN, after you fill out your proper and lawful taxes, and send them in, take a new form, a blank 1040A, 1040EZ, whatever you filed in the first place, and fill it out as follows:

I FORGOT

Just scrawl it across the page, like below, and mail it to the SAME IRS PO box you sent your return to.  They're opened mechanically and scanned, but every one of them that does not register has to be reviewed manually.  Let's show them how much we appreciate the gift Obama, Nancy and Harry have given us!

BTW: You probably want to leave your return address off the envelope.  Just sayin'...
