Tax cuts for multi-millionaires

Taxpayer Bailout Gives Hollywood $470 Million Tax Cut

So Hollywood is un-American I guess? I keep hearing about how CEO's who "ship jobs overseas" (how one ships a job is never explained. What do they load at the docks exactly?) are un-American. They're greedy and evil and and and. None of this somehow gets attached to the movie industry. Indeed the charges of being "grossly overpaid" are never applied to actors, producers or directors. Why is that? What is the average income of the people in the movie industry? I'll wager the salaries of those stars, directors and producers is much further out of balance than the CEO of a bank vs. his employees. (I'm talking direct comp not stock).

Hypocrisy, thy name is Hollywood for moving productions to Canada et al.
Hypocrisy, thy name is GOP for passing this mess.

Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project

Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.

First, fourth, what's the difference?

Black Pope could follow Barack Obama's election, says US archbishop : "The election of Barack Obama as the first African-American US President could pave the way for the election of the first black Pope, according to a leading black American Catholic." Except that we've had three black Popes already. The last one was 1700 years ago. You'd think he know that. I knew we had them in the past. It took me all of .000048 seconds on Google to find that out.
