Two important lessons for the Bluest State
Monday, March 31, 2008
Capitalism, free markets, and low taxes do a better job than forced altruism, government meddling, and wealth confiscation. In a nutshell–WE give more if YOU take less.

Bottled water joins the realm of fireworks and alkyd housepaint.
Are Chicagoans trekking to the suburbs to buy cases of bottled water — and avoid a new nickel-a-container tax that adds $1.20 to the price of a 24-pack? Or are they making the switch to tap water to save money?

On Tuesday the 18th, this Governor testifies about his casino plan in front of the Joint Committee. He spoke from about 10:00AM until 12:30PM at which point his Cabinet took over. Around 2:00PM, I was in the stairwell outside Gardner Auditorium when a Casey Ross story stamped 1:06PM came across my TREO.

Whether or not you always agree with his politics, Bob Massie (more here) is an impressive figure. His passion is unparalleled and his courage unmatched.

After a few years of informal research I have found that redundantly named “Hershey’s Extra Dark Pure Dark Chocolate” is the best all around bait. I break off the corners, throw them in the little sticky trap, and eat the rest with a coffee chaser.
Toblerone actually works better but I have trouble sharing it with [...]
No. Really. That is so kind but…no. I mean it. No. Please.

“Kristen’s” top five-
Whitney, Madonna, Mary J. Blige, Amy Winehouse, Celine Dion
I don’t see “StEaMrOlLeR” on her friends list anywhere. “Johanner Fashion Designer” is very concerned, as is his shiny little yellow car. A few well wishers are sending barely decipherable messages of support.
I think I’ll just text her.
UPDATE: She shut down her mySpace. Sigh.

Problem gamblers went public yesterday with wrenching stories of heartbreak and addiction as a State House showdown looms over a proposal to legalize resort .
But the now-recovering addicts offered an unexpected message, saying they are neutral on Gov. Deval Patrick’s proposal for three billion-dollar-plus gambling resorts.

from the affidavit-
LEWIS asked “Kristen” how she thought the appointment went, and “Kristen” said that she thought it went very well. LEWIS asked “Kristen” how much she collected, and “Kristen” said $4,300. “Kristen” said that she liked him, and that she did not think he was difficult.

CORRECTION: Two hookers liked him.
This explains the coconut cream pies.

DRIGGS, Idaho — Perhaps they should have called her Mary Jane.
A surprise birthday party for Dawn Wells, the actress who played Mary Ann on “Gilligan’s Island,” ended with a nearly three-hour tour of the Teton County sheriff’s office and jail when the 69-year-old was caught with marijuana in her vehicle while driving home.
“Jock” tax? Heh heh..

Governor Spitzer and his alleged valentine “Kristin” have more in common than you know. They’ll both be filing personal income tax returns in the District of Columbia, or at least they will if they follow the ridiculous “jock tax” policy that both cities apply to visiting athletes.
