Here we go ... another wonderful benefit from the world of GPS ... Global Positioning Satellites. In England they're toying with the idea of tracking the number of miles that motorists drive with those GPS devices. These motorists will then be taxed by the mile. Will this method of taxation make it to the United States? On the surface, it seems rather fair. The more you use the nation's highways, the more you pay. But isn't that why we pay fuel taxes? Both the feds and state government collect taxes on every gallon of auto fuel sold. The more miles you drive ... the more fuel you use ... and the more taxes you pay. (Ditto for aviation fuel, by the way.) The trouble here is that some cars get far more miles per gallon than others, which leads to a big tax break for those who eat up more miles of government highways on less gas. Me? I think that paying for the number of miles driven is the better way to go. The problem here is that not only can the government keep tract of the number of miles you drive with these systems, but they can also watch WHERE you drive. Such a system in the United States would provide the government with a mile-by-mile, minute-by-minute log of where and when you drive your car. I can see the reports now: "Mr. Marshall's Hummer then spent 45 minutes parked outside of the Blue Flame Lounge in Atlanta. He then drove to an ATM located 1.5 miles away, paused there for 2 minutes, and returned to the Blue Flame." Something to think about, isn't it? HILLARY'S DEBUT Today it's Hillary, Hillary, Hillary. Hillary this. Hillary that. Yup, it's the publication date for Hillary's "Living History" book. Baba Wawa interviewed The Hildabeast last night. There will not be one network or cable newscast today without a Hillary story. Today we find that The Smartest Woman in the World is also The Biggest News Story in the World. There are just a few things you need to remember while listening to all the hype today: First, Hillary Clinton is a liar ... a pathological liar. This means that Hillary will actually tell a lie when the truth would serve her better. She says that she believed her "husband" when the stories about Monica Lewinsky first came out. If so ... that would make her the only compos mentis adult in the entire United States who did. Come on, folks. Hitlary knows Bill better than most. To buy her story that she didn't know the stories about Bill and Monica were true is to imagine Hillary to be a complete idiot. She's not an idiot. Dangerous? Yes. Idiot? No. Oh ... and let's address this "I have no intention of running for president in 2008" nonsense. Saying "I have no intention" is not the same thing as saying "I won't." There's ample room for wiggle room there. It's the best possible answer she could give. Believe me, she's running. Wait! There is one thing that could derail Hitlary's plans. She could lose her Senate reelection race in 2006. She absolutely MUST run for reelection in order to keep here platform for the presidential run. To do that she'll have t lie to the voters of New York ... give them that "I promise to serve the full six-year term" nonsense. Her problem won't be with the lie. She does that very well. Her problem will be getting the people of New York tobelieveher lie. One more thing. Hillary didn't write this book. If you go blow (pardon the expression) $28 on this book you will be paying for the work of about four ghost writers who's names you have never heard. Hillary read the book and suggested changes ... but she didn't write it. Expect her to lie about this too. CAREFUL, TEENAGERS BEHIND THE WHEEL This 2 Fast 2 Serious glorified car chase movie had its debut over the weekend. Fifty-two million and change. No real plot, no story line, just fast tricked-out cars, chases, police and teenagers. So, here's Boortz setting himself up for an "I told you so." Look for a jump in teenage deaths on the highways. Yes, this movie will make money - and teenagers will die. WHO WRITES CRAP LIKE THIS? Read this bit that appeared yesterday in the Knoxville News-Sentinel
Don't you just love it? Low-income families aren't getting their "fair share." Well, they don't pay taxes, so anything they get will be first paid by someone else. So, just how do you establish a low-income person's "fair share" of someone else's earnings? And ... oh my goodness? High-income taxpayers get the "lion's share" of the tax cuts." Now why wouldn't this writer also point out that these high-income earners PAY the lion's share? You know why. This fact doesn't promote the leftist agenda. One more thing. Note that tax cuts for high-income earners are "tax-giveaways." You work. You earn. You're allowed to keep what you earn, and this leftist idiot says that you are the recipient of a "giveaway." Only in the delusional world of the left can such nonsense pass as journalism. RANDOM THOUGHTS We have a story in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution today decrying the overcrowding of Georgia prisons. I'm sure other states are facing similar problem. Question: How many of the people in these prisons are non-violent drug offenders? Idaho is suffering an invasion of Mormon crickets. OK .. make up your own jokes. Why are they called Mormon crickets? Does if have anything to do with their breeding? What is the insect world's word for "polygamy?" Maybe they keep extensive genealogy records. Perhaps they have a choir. The child-abuser/Muslim woman from Florida is going to have to remove that veil if she wants a driver's license. She says she's going to take it all the way to the Supreme Court. That ought to be a few years at least that she's not behind the wheel. Those veils are hell on peripheral vision you know. I understand that a certain Baptist preacher at a certain Baptist church made some comments about me yesterday. He said that I make a living out of slandering people. This certain preacher, who likes to advertise on certain talk radio shows, also said that women who live with men before marrying are "whores?" I wonder if he was speaking right from his heart. READING ASSIGNMENTS Friday's Best of the Web. http://www.opinionjournal.com/best/?id=110003599 Who would be the strangest candidate in the Democratic presidential field. Dennis Kuchinich? Possibly ... but my vote goes to Bob Graham from Florida. http://jewishworldreview.com/0603/bowden1.asp And speaking of the presidential race, Democratic "activists" want Bill and Hitlary to just go away some where and shut up. http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/6037230.htm Last night's Hillary .. Barbara interview. Hillary didn't look so good. She has that "chilly deportment" thing down cold. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A32464-2003Jun8.html?nav=hptop_ts Liberals are determined to debunk the story of the rescue of Jessica Lynch. How easy it is to sit back here in the safety of your office and question the actions of our Special Forces men and women. http://www.washtimes.com/national/20030609-122701-9940r.htm Uh oh. Bad news for Democrats. Since the passage of the Bush tax cut the Dow has gone up by 400 points. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/larrykudlow/lk20030609.shtml Sex at a restaurant. He's 70, she's 60. You would think this would have happened at a cafeteria - at around 5:30 in the afternoon. http://www.timesreporter.com/left.php?ID=19838&r=5 WWHD? Are you anywhere near as intelligent and perfect as The Smartest Woman in the World? Tale this "What Would Hillary Do?" test. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=32984 Osama Bin Laden, the world's most wanted terrorist, now inspires more confidence than President Bush in Indonesia, Pakistan, Jordan, Morocco and among Palestinians. http://dynamic.washtimes.com/print_story.cfm?StoryID=20030608-090333-4821r It looks like Grey Davis is in some serious trouble in California. Recall is looming. I love it when a weeks starts out with some good news. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/robertnovak/rn20030609.shtml You need a website to keep up with Hollywood's halfwits. I've found one for you. Be sure to add this to your "favorites" list. We need to keep up with these people. Remember, keep your friends close, your enemies closer. http://www.hollywoodhalfwits.com Last week they arrested a man, out West, I think, who was driving around honking his horn so that other motorists would look and see him ... er ... firing the Surgeon General, so to speak. Well, did you know that Kellogg's Corn Flakes were once part of a diet plan to stop such behavior? http://www.datingfun.com/sex/masturbation/kelloggs.asp |
