At the CPAC conference, Rush repeats that he really does want Obama to fail. Conservatives cheer. Or as Paul Reiser put it: How come way back when, when the Dixie Chicks casually commented that, on the night our former president declared an unprovoked war, that they felt, at that moment “ashamed to be from Texas,” they […]
Andrew Tobias has a brilliant article about taxes. You should read the whole thing, but if you’re too lazy, here’s just the start of it: Be honest: Is the reason you’re not investing in stocks these days (a) the prospect of having to pay 15% capital gains tax? Or (b) the fear of further losses? […]
