    I think this is over until one or both remarry, have more children, date an almost D List celebrity (Noah Wyle!) or get arrested for drunken disorderly conduct at Nascar (Jon). #jongosselin

    Man, I worry about those kids. They will be healthier by not being on camera, but I hope they don't go hungry because their parents are too maladjusted to support them.

    Of course, they can also just look for a handout. See: Octomom & Duggars. #jongosselin

    @PamBeesley: They also have a bizarre tax exemption for their home and probably everything they purchase for their home because their home is supposedly a place of worship. Also, each episode brings in over six figures. So unless those home perms are tuna casseroles are super duper expensive, they don't actually have to work all that hard to earn a living. #jongosselin

    Brian, you're deluding yourself. This is all negotation. Jon was p.o.'d that the show was changing to "Kate Plus 8", said it was bad for the kids (though he did have ET there for his kid's b'day party last week), and is now just waiting to be bought off so "Kate Plus 8" can go on. #jongosselin

    @FormerEnglishMajor: No shit. Even the Post article is pretty clear on that:

    t's the end of the line for "Jon & Kate Plus 8" in its present form.

    "'Jon & Kate Plus 8' is ending in mid-to-late November, as previously reported," a TLC spokeswoman said yesterday.

    TLC announced last month that the once-popular show would be renamed "Kate Plus 8" beginning Nov. 2 to reflect the acrimonious breakup of Jon and Kate Gosselin.

    That date has now been shifted to later in the month.

    But sources say TLC is waiting until the bickering couple sort out some of their personal problems before reassessing the situation.

    Yep, sounds just like the typical conservative commentator: writes in favor of conservative "real America" Home Depot shoppers in suburban Kansas but wouldn't be caught dead actually living in that world.

    Mr. Douthat notices (or rather he noticed suburban sprawl advocate and anti-rail city scholar Joel Kotkin noticing)

    I hear you, Pareene. Douthat should be forced to pay some sort of fee to Kotkin for such "borrowing," right?

    Here's the most telling passage: "... and, inevitably, the tendency toward political corruption. The Republicans have their mistresses, but the Democrats are dealing with a more serious array of scandals: the Blagojevich-Burris embarrassment in Illinois, Senator Christopher Dodd’s dubious mortgage dealings in Connecticut, the expansive graft case in New Jersey, and a slew of corruption investigations featuring Democratic congressmen.

    Translation: "Democrats are more corrupt than Republicans, you see. It's simply inevitable. (Although we Republicans DO like to fuck, it's true! Hee hee hee ...)"

    Uh, California does have a property tax. It's just limited by Prop. 13. Are you thinking of Florida, a reddish state that's in deep poo poo right now?

    @Nic Fit: Prop 13 crippled California and continues to do so. Thank Howard Jarvis for gutting the most illustrious, and practically free for residents, university system in the world. Sad. California and Florida shouldn't be in the same 'graph.

    @Mediahohoho: When you buy a house in California, your annual property taxes are 1% of the purchase price (with small increases each year). My understanding is that the 1% figure is actually fairly high in comparison with most states.

    Whenever I visit the red home state of my honey I am struck by the number of boarded up businesses and the thriving "pay day loan" (legal loansharking) establishments on every block.

    Also, wondering if Texas would still like to secede, given the immense amount of water it is about to start receiving from its neighbors to the north.

    Finally, thank you for adding "reasonable conservative" to my lexicon of oxymoronic phrases. It's right there with jumbo shrimp and military intelligence.
