Had a family-related scare on 9/12 and have been out of town. There's some stuff I'd like to get into, though it will hardly be timely by the time I get around to posting it. I just figured I'd check, say that everything's OK for the time being, and that I'll probably be back to posting on Thursday and over the weekend, both here on IMHO and on Utopia as well.
Coming up...
- Netflix (BOO!)
- David Lewis (ROTF, LMAO!)
- Solyndra, Taxing the Rich and "Class Warfare"
Welcome back, Eddie. Hope all is well with the family.

Where do they find these idiots?
Thanks for the link, though. I continued on to find this from Elizabeth Warren:
“I hear all this, you know, ‘Well, this is class warfare, this is whatever. No. There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own — nobody.
“You built a factory out there? Good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police-forces and fire-forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn’t have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory — and hire someone to protect against this — because of the work the rest of us did.
“Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea. God bless — keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is, you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.”
A Democrat with the balls to talk about the Social Contract? I just may move my voter registration from NY to the MA address so I can vote for her.
Wow, Conchobhar! Great quote from Elizabeth Warren. What a terrific argument. I hope we hear more and more of this. And yes, Eddie, welcome back.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lash.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great argument, and I've bookmarked it. I'm sure I'll have the opportunity to put it up on MMFA, and I HOPE it goes viral.
