…about 8ft tall. Not too much shorter, no need for a short freshly cut pine tree. And certainly not much bigger; simple could not USE a big freshly cut pine tree.
Oh yeah, and I want it delivered to my house. Maybe-maybe not. But at the very least, it has to be dropped off for me to pick up no further than 3 tenths of a mile from where I live.
And when I say freshly cut, I mean literally, this sucker was in the ground 36 hours ago. MAX!
Sounds silly doesn’t it?

Taxes.
Good? Or bad?
Does it depend? Or does it NOT depend?
Either way, for a long time I’ve thought that we ALL saw taxes in the same way.
A method pf paying for the things we need to run a country, state, county, city or school.
Not so.
I’m tough on unemployment benefits.
I admit it.
While I believe that folks should get what they “paid” for I am totally TOTALLY against extending benefits. 99 weeks is enough, to think that we need more than that is …. simply …. silly.
The guys in Greensboro are back at it.
Today they’re discussing the tax situation as we get closer and closer to December 31st. That’s the date, of course, that the “Bush Tax Cuts” are set to expire.
Everyone I know of agrees that we need to make permanent those cuts to folks making less than $250,000 a year. The question is what to do with the folks making more than that.
The rich.

Okay, so turns out that there is a concept in law that describes how parts of laws and/or contracts are interpreted.
In law, severability (sometimes known as salvatorius, from Latin) refers to a provision in a contract which states that if parts of the contract are held to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, the remainder of the contract should still apply. Sometimes, severability clauses will state that some provisions to the contract are so essential to the contract’s purpose that if they are illegal or unenforceable, the contract as a whole will be voided. However, in many legal jurisdictions, a severability clause will not be applied if it changes the fundamental nature of the contract, and that instead the contract will be void; thus, often this is not explicitly stated in the severability clause.
Severability clauses are also commonly found in legislation, where they state that if some provisions of the law, or certain applications of those provisions, are found to be unconstitutional, the remaining provisions, or the remaining applications of those provisions, will, nonetheless, continue in force as law.
Now, I didn’t know this. But I:
The fact that there are people in this world who have done either 1, 2 and/or 3 and STILL don’t know this rule about Severability is NOT my problem.
But it DOES speak volumes as to their qualifications to do any of the above!

Because of the interview he did with Rachel Maddow.
I’m not sure which should surpise my Liberty loving friends more, the fact that I watch Maddow or that I like Stewart.
Post Thnaksgiving Day philosophy to be sure:
Anyway: Click on the picture for the whole interview.
Rachel Maddow interviews Jon Stewart
Enjoy.
I was getting the kids a haircut today. While waiting I came across one of the most incredible stories I’ve ever seen.
See, a reporter got a “scoop”, or whatever it it’s called when an idea for a story pops into your head, went down to investigate the same story, gathered facts, typed up a report and then MADE UP A CONCLUSION.
Serious.
The whole story talks about the facts of the situation and the reporter, Leslie Kaufman, simply made up her own conclusions. And this is the NY Times.

In a world where the Tea Party is considered racist, Juan Williams in the ONLY black male reporter at NPR?
And they fire HIM!
Are you bullshitting me?
The Leftist’s in this country are clearly, CLEARLY, out of touch.
Here is how Democrats win elections:
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — A public university in North Carolina is smarting after someone at the school sent an e-mail to students and employees urging them to vote early and help the Democratic Party.
The Winston-Salem Journal reported Wednesday the e-mail was sent from the student-affairs division to about 6,400 staffers and students at Winston-Salem State University.
Manipulating elections is only illegal if your not a Democrat.
