Yeah, thought I'd stop by and elevate the conversation a bit.

My vote, provided I'm not de-starred, banned, and taken behind the chemical sheds and shot for harshing on Denton's cash cow (nothatisnotsexistdumbass) I cast my vote for #fnff

]]> <![CDATA[]]> @Helio: As I remember it, the top rate was 70% up until Reagan got elected. He popularized the "trickle down theory" of economics, which was that if you cut taxes on the rich you will increase tax revenues. Interestingly, a guy named Bruce Bartlett, who is a conservative economist, was one of the people who popularized this theory. I believe he has since come to realize that this was in fact "voodoo" economics. His book Imposter is a good read. It's all about what a huge fuck up Dubya was. He has a newer book out, where I think he pretty much renounces Reagonomics altogether. He's one of the few Republicans I've seen who actually admitted their economic ideas were pretty much based on magic, voodoo and wishful thinking. The only person still pushing tax cuts is Sarah Palin. Yes, we'll close that huge budget deficit by cutting taxes. Sigh, please don't let these lunatics run anything for the next 30 years.

]]> <![CDATA[White House Party Crashers Are Awesome, Sad]]> I'm just really confused by the lax security. I went to the WH pre-2001 on a college field trip to speak with a presidential adviser. The president wasn't even in DC and I still had to provide my SSN beforehand and someone (who was a citizen) wasn't allowed to go in. WTF has happened?

]]> <![CDATA[]]> @MrInBetween: Why? What's so offensive? That the president obviously has lax security at his social functions and doesn't seem to care? That he enjoys the spotlight a little too much? That people are trying to kill him?

I apologize if any of this offends your clearly delicate sensibilities, but I suggest you put you monocle back in and get a grip on reality.

]]> <![CDATA[British <i>Sunday Times</i> Writer Who Thinks New York City Pretty Much Sucks: A Formal Response]]> Having lived in both cities I can say that London wins hands-down if:

• You are excited by one new restaurant opening a year – as opposed to four a month
• Your idea of a good cab experience is having some lazy East End Ronnie Kray gangster-wannabe charge you fifty pounds to take you ten miles on a route of his choosing and bore you shitless about traffic and how he did the "knowledge" – as opposed to having multiple hungry taxi drivers aggressively compete for the chance to take you anywhere worthwhile in the city for about ten bucks.. and let you pay with a credit card
• You enjoy listening to some scruffy idiot drone on (without irony) about American consumer society while praising clever British ad agencies
• You’re ok with just "Great Indian food" – as opposed to "Great ________ food" (insert one of over 60 different authentic cuisines)
• You think it makes sense to allocate resources, jobs and recognition based on whether your grandfather was an in-bred upper class twit or you went to some faggot English boarding school – as opposed to merit and ability to do the job or achieve something
• You enjoy some fat Sloaney upper-class twit wannabe giving you attitude when she should be grateful you are talking to her and not punching her in the head – as opposed to meeting and talking to the world’s most beautiful women from all over the globe in every bar and restaurant you visit
• You enjoy some Brit boy ponce fumbling over your shirt buttons with bad breath and teeth in his seedy London flat
• You have ten million pounds and/or earn a million pounds a year so you can live in a decent flat in a nice neighbourhood to make up for all the crap you have to endure – as opposed to having dozens of interesting, reasonably affordable neighbourhoods within 20 minutes of the city
• You think Islington is hip, Camden is groovy and Notting Hill is edgy - as opposed to boring, stupid and a tourist hell
• You believe good urban transport is paying ten bucks to go two miles in a stuffy tubular sardine can - as opposed to two buck fifty to go all over the system in air conditioned space and comfort
• Your idea of fun is to travel an hour from your home north of the river to be trapped at some idiotic dinner party in Clapham - as opposed to hopping to three fabulous parties and events before 11 p.m.
• You think it’s ok to travel four hours out of the city and STILL be surrounded by millions of fucking people - as opposed to travelling for an hour to get to thousands of acres of wilderness or miles of sandy beaches
• You think edgy means dirty – as opposed to new, interesting and challenging
• You believe being able to hop over to Europe makes up for everything else
• You hate live music so you’re OK with four decent music venues in a thirty mile radius – as opposed to fifty in a ten mile radius
• You enjoy people who fight you in pubs, gob on the streets, live in the past, smell like ass, act smarter than they are, think they are funny, suck at sports and generally who you wouldn’t shit on unless they were from London.

Cheers
