Of course no one should. IMO we should all make $200/hour ;-)

Here is another research project for you after you get done with socialism. (I am saying this with a smile on my face, without anger, in case the tone is not coming through). See how our tax rates, both personal and corporate, compare with those in other developed nations. We are already paying comparatively low taxes and still never stop squealing like pigs stuck under a gate.

It was James Carville who said that, if you don't recognize it. The Ragin' Cajun. He was Bill Clinton's campaign director and the joy of Republican talking heads everywhere. He also said, in response to one of Clinton's "bimbo eruptions" (Paula Jones?), it's amazing what you can come up with when you drag a hundred dollar bill through a trailer park. That was a good one.

In one of those things that couldn't possibly be made up, Carville has been married for a long time to the equally combative Republican strategist Mary Matalin. Go figure.
