I just downed on me that it’s March already. And today, it’s supposed to be in the upper 50’s. Not that it would get cold again but Spring is just about here now. Pretty soon, it’ll be too damn hot again. Now, if I could just go back to bed.

Dawn on me
Saw this plane trying to land in Hamburg on the news this morning. Having been on a plane that had to land with a nasty crosswind (nowhere near as nasty as this one, though), I can imagine what the folks on board were thinking. Something like, “heilige scheiรลธe! Wir gehen alle zu ficken stirbt!”
ya,
pilot tried to grab thirty feet to the right,
came out of attitude and hoped he could steer out of it.
good recovery considering the turbulence.
Hey Y’all,
From Sederland
I am doing the LA only third hour of Maddow this week
Submitted by SEDER on Mon, 03/03/2008 – 3:50pm.
Next week Maddow moves to three hours a night, until then she does three hours only for the LA Market. This week I will be that third hour, except for Tuesday because there isa Kings game. Confused? Don’t be.
tonight, 8-9pm on the SammYCam or streamed here from LA….
I’ll be talking to Bruce Wilson from Talk2action about John Haggee and Jon McCain.
Tommorrow Seder V Maron at 11am!
So if Rachel is going to three hours, that means she won’t be available to guest with KO unless Sammy or somebody else covers her third hour.
Does that mean MSNBC is giving her her own show? She could tape it in the afternoon before her AAR show.
Maybe MSNBC could cancel Fucker Carlson and run Rachel’s show in the 6-7 PM EST slot! She could compete with herself!
Let the rumors begin.
Or not.
David Bender is co-hosting the third hour, meaning he could hold down the fort while Rachel guests with KO. Boy, did I murder that round of rumor-mongering fast. ๐
I get bored now with all except the ACTIVES = RING of FIRE, mostly…A!I!V!
A golden oldie!
“He knows less about the budget than any president in my lifetime. He can’t even carry on a conversation about the budget. It’s an absolute and utter disgrace.”
–House Speaker Tip O’Neill, after a meeting with Reagan, November 23, 1981
The Reagan Legacy — Debt and Deficits
Two years into Reagan’s presidency, the United States experienced its worst recession since the Great Depression, with unemployment peaking at 10.8 percent. Rather than take responsibility, Reagan attempted to blame the 1982 recession on his predecessor, Jimmy Carter.
Likewise, Reagan would blame the explosion in red ink (debt and deficits) that occurred during his years in office on the U.S. Congress. Regarding federal deficits, Reagan’s shirking of responsibility was especially egregious. This can be seen from Reagan’s statements during his 1980 campaign and the early days of his presidency:
“Mr. Carter is acting as if he hasn’t been in charge for the past three and a half years; as if someone else was responsible for the largest deficit in American history.”
–Ronald Reagan, nationally televised campaign speech, October 24, 1980. (Federal deficits totaled $252 billion under Mr. Carter. By the end of Mr. Reagan’s presidency, federal deficits would total over 1.4 trillion.)
“For decades we have piled deficit upon deficit, mortgaging our future and our children’s future for the temporary convenience of the present. To continue this long trend is to guarantee tremendous social, cultural, political, and economic upheavals. You and I, as individuals, can, by borrowing, live beyond our means, but only for a limited period of time. Why, then, should we think that collectively, as a nation, we’re not bound by that same limitation? We must act today in order to preserve tomorrow. And let there be no misunderstanding: We are going to begin to act, beginning today.”
–President Reagan, in his inaugural address, January 20, 1981
“A trillion dollars would be a stack of $1,000 bills 67 miles high.”
–President Reagan warning in February 1981 that the national debt, accumulated over the United States’ 200 year history, is approaching $1 trillion. (Under Reagan, the national debt would nearly triple to $2.9 trillion.)
“[A] drastic reduction in the deficit…will take place in the fiscal year ’82.”
–President Reagan, news conference, quoted in The New York Times, March 6, 1981. (In fiscal 1982, the first full year of Reagan’s presidency, the government ran up a record budget deficit of $128 billion.)
—–
Early in his presidency, Reagan chose as his economic advisors a group that espoused a radical economic theory called “supply-side.” The supply-siders told Reagan that if he gave tax cuts to the top brackets (the wealthiest individuals) the positive effects would “trickle down” to everyone else. Tax cuts, they argued, would produce so much growth in the economy that America could simply outgrow its deficits. Reagan bought into supply-side theory, which is why in 1981 he predicted that there would be a “drastic reduction in the deficit.”
However, Reagan soon discovered that his supply-side advisors were wrong. Tax cuts, instead of reducing the deficit, had increased the deficit, drastically. After 1981, Reagan made no more rosy predictions regarding the deficit.
At this point, Reagan would change strategy. He would blame the U.S. Congress for the record deficits that accrued during his years in office. Reagan would say that Congress was responsible, because Congress had not slashed spending enough–meaning domestic spending, since Reagan always championed increased military spending.
Reagan chose to ignore the fact that his own Republican Party was in control of the Senate from January 1981 to January 1987, and that Congress actually spent less than what he originally had asked for.
Federal deficits would continue unabated until the presidency of Bill Clinton when fiscal responsibility would finally be restored. President Clinton would achieve a balanced budget (and even record surpluses) in large measure by restoring higher taxes on the wealthy.

What I like about the internet is that no matter how oblivious conservatives are to the world outside their heads it is always there waiting for someone to simply type a question into the search box at Google or Ask.com or AltaVista.com and up pops an answer, with statistics. They can put their heads in the sand but they can’t hide. Conservatives are the stoopidest people.

Still think we need to dig up RayGun and launch his remains into the sun. :reaper: :reaper:
