Out of Pocket

I’m on the road for a few days. Speaking at this conference.

And hanging out with some old buds from the Good Old Days at the Chri Sci Monitor.

    “Out of pocket” my ass. You are not going on an expedtion to find the source of the Nile. You just don’t want to fuck with this stuff for a few days, and I don’t blame you.

    Obama’s plan to balance the budget

    A tax policy that confiscated 100% of the taxable income of everyone in America earning over $500,000 in 2006 would only have given Congress an extra $1.3 trillion in revenue. That’s less than half the 2006 federal budget of $2.7 trillion and looks tiny compared to the more than $4 trillion Congress will spend in fiscal 2010. Even taking every taxable “dime” of everyone earning more than $75,000 in 2006 would have barely yielded enough to cover that $4 trillion.

    Mr. Obama is very good at portraying his agenda as nothing more than center-left pragmatism. But pragmatists don’t ignore the data. And the reality is that the only way to pay for Mr. Obama’s ambitions is to reach ever deeper into the pockets of the American middle class.

    It seems as if the MSM should have been more concerned about Obama’s lack of experience rather than Palin’s…and, his honesty.

    From the agenda of the conference:

    1.

    To engage journalists, artists and academics in a frank discussion of what we do — as humans and as journalists — when we tell stories of trauma
    2.

    To enable journalists to explore the concept of trauma in its scientific, political and social dimensions and provide them with a better understanding of the context in which they tell their stories
    3.

    To examine the crucial role journalism plays in communicating traumatic events, their impact on people and the larger search for meaning and justice in the face of atrocities
    4.

    To work towards a definition of trauma journalism and guidelines on how to do a better job practicing it

    Yo. Balter. Gee, I guess talking Jung is talking shit, eh? Can’t imagine how Jung could be relevant to any of the above, do you?

    What a blow hard…or is it blow ‘soft’ you are.

    Oh, let’s see how Obama’s coming along on his budget. – $25, 573.48 – what Barack Obama’s budget will cost each taxpayer

    Only problem…Obama has promised tax cuts to half of the population. So, I guess the shares for the productive segment will be five times that.

    You sure are a lazy bunch of people expecting others to pay your bills for you.

    I’ve decided to bailout everyone on this blog. Go to this site for your check: Bank of Obama Now, quit asking for more money.
