Do I get it right? We are going to cut health care spending
while increasing incentives to make movies in the state?

(was out of town most of the week and saw this headline when we came back..)

1. Link of some sort? - And are you speaking of the state, or the country?
.

And not quite sure about the connection to making movies - -

Just curious about your post.

2. State
A sprawling budget bill that would cut funding for health care, higher education and courts, while finding extra money for everything from kindergarten milk money to grants for movie producers passed the state Senate on Thursday night.

3. Whine whine whine
Me me me tax tax tax me me me. I am so damn sick and tired of whining pissants who measure a democracy by the percentage taken by the IRS. Dont look around and see all the great things we have in life, look around and piss and moan about all the things other people have that we dont!! This ethnocentric bullshit completely ignores every single tragic situation around the world.

We should be happy for those able to donate blood during work hours.... just think if everyone got to do that there wouldnt be a blood shortage would there??

We have the greatest standard of living in the world because its goddamn EXPENSIVE!

I wonder what the fricken tax percentage is in Darfur or Afghanistan or China for shit sakes.

Idiot conservatives prattling on about the costs of living here.... move somewhere where they dont tax citizens then dipshits.

4. That would make a great LTTE
(if you took out the part about "dipshits," even though it's the most appropriate word) :-)

5. My leotards were in a bundle yesterday.
Where is the righteous liberal defender in the media? We are right because we 1. think about issues, 2. empathize and 3. care for others. And we're hammered for this at every turn by the self serving conservative?

I just dont get it.
