If we make these savages welcome in this country, the country will not survive.

Time for Garrison Keillor to introduce a cutesie imam to Lake Wobegon.

He said:

I am not in favor of concealed weapons. There has not been any evidence that allowing people to carry a concealed weapon is going to make anybody safer.

for the coming tax hikes.

If you run the numbers for that and other income brackets, you’d better sit down. Our spending policies are not digging a hole, they are conjuring up a Stygian abyss.

If your family income in 2006 was between $75,000 and $100,000, the extra taxes that you will have to pay at some point in the future add up to about $14,000.

If your income was between $100,000 and $200,000, your future tax hike will be about $28,000. If your income was between $200,000 and $500,000, then your future tax bill just went up by $90,299.

And as any journalist knows, three makes a trend.

Any reason for a healthy backlash seems worth considering.

Update:

Testify, Tom!

Meanwhile, my new plan is this: I’m going to stop paying taxes in hopes of getting an appointment in the Obama administration.

but that doesn’t keep them  from trying.

Jonah Goldberg calles it “borderline grotesque“. I don’t know where he got the “borderline” part. Again, can you imagine Bush supporters or even Reagan supporters doing something like this?

These people are a laugh riot!

What if the Bush White House had tried this?

The Change will not be commercialized?

“Our lawyers are working on developing a policy that will protect the presidential image while being careful not to squelch the overwhelming enthusiasm that the public has for the president,” White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.
