Mrs. Clinton hasn’t a clue about economics
Classic Senator Clinton on the economy. Article here.
“We also have to reward work more,” Clinton told a small group of Ohio residents today. “and by that, I mean, I have people in New York working on Wall Street as investment managers, as hedge fund executives. Under the tax code, they can pay a lower percentage of their income in taxes on $50 million dollars, than a teacher, or a nurse, or a truck driver in Parma pays on $50,000. That’s very discouraging to people.”
You just feel like, ‘wait a minute. I’m working as hard as I can.’ All those people you see in your law office. They’re working as hard as they can and they feel like they’re just getting further and further behind,” Clinton said.
Excuse me, the president doesn’t set wages. How much control do you really think the president has Senator Clinton? Give me a break. She would be a colossal disaster.
So who really pays taxes? Check out the numbers.

Can we get an end to the embargo now? I mean really this has been a failed policy. Lets open up trade and let some good old American consumerism end the Castro reign of terror.
flatus expelled through the anus
This story is dedicated to that poor band director who took the blame for all of your farts. You know who you are!
Camden Middle school issues ban on intentional flatulence. Read the story here.
“Strange, but true, thanks to a bunch of 8th grade boys, intentional farting has been banned from CRMS,” the newsletter said. “It started out as a funny joke and eventually turned into a game. This is the first rule at CRMS that prevents the use of natural bodily functions. The penalty for intentional farting is a detention, so keep it to yourself!”

@ The Corner makes a good point.
But this disaster talk leaves me cold. McCain wouldn’t be my first pick. Then again, none of the candidates were really my first pick. But I think the notion that, variously, conservatism, the country or the party are doomed if he’s the nominee or the president is pretty absurd.
I don’t know how “healthy” a McCain presidency might be for conservatives but I agree a lot of the hysteria is not necessary and actually myopic. The president is only one person in our government. Powerful, too powerful, but still just one person.
