McCain and Clinton support gas-tax holiday

Mark this day as the only time in my life I have supported a democrat. Obama actually said something that made sense: a gas-tax holiday would do more harm than good. Now, as my offshore bank accounts attest, I'm normally all for lower taxes. But this gas-tax holiday borders on dangerous. Do you people not know that our gas taxes help maintain our highways? Do you have any idea what the ground clearance of a McClaren F1 is? Of course you don't.

The D.C Madam hangs herself

Death is never funny, and as immoral as suicide is, I feel much sorrow for this woman and her family. That she was providing a valuable service to some of our nation's most important and powerful figures was obviously forgotten and overlooked. Her prosecution was nothing more than a witch hunt propagated by those who know nothing of stress and the relief such services provide.

Recession?

Proof that journalists have no business reporting on the financial world came when the DOW topped 13,000 and the unemployment rate dropped. Perhaps they can now stop reporting on an event that is as likely as democracy in the Mid-East. Quote me on this: there will be no recession. Go back to reporting on things that matter, like celebrity and Africa.
