A clearer comparison

Here's a helpful graphic concerning McCain and Obama's tax plans' impact, especially necessary given the lies the distortions and lies the McCain ads continue to spread. (Click on the graphic for a larger image.)

Well, Obama seems to be doing exactly what I'd be doing by not punishing the rich, but by tapping into money they don't need to help sustain the nation. I mean seriously, who is McCain trying to fool here. How typical is it for a rich old guy to try and make himself even richer... honestly, people like him who seem to only think for themselves and not for the country as a whole entity, should be shot on sight... but lets just thank the gods that he is indeed, that... old! He'll die off soon enough. :P -JMO

The ads are getting uglier almost by the day. From the sound of a report heard yesterday, in the states that are being seen as being more up for grabs than Pennsylvania, even worse material's being run.

Such respect as I recall once having for McCain becomes an ever more distant, puzzling memory each time I hear "I'm John McCain, and I approved this message" after most of the ads I'm seeing from his camp.

I am stuck between shock, and a realization that he's just playing the political game. Though one would think there's a line and a limit that they shouldn't cross... but I fear that he left that point sadly far far behind. I'm not lamenting however, I knew I'd vote democrat, regardless if it was for Hillary or Obama. I'm just sadden by the fact that whom ever wins will still be struggling to fix the mess that was left to them by Bush Jr. thus never getting the chance to put forth their own plans. Hmm... If McCain wins... maybe thats a good thing then lol. -JMO

Insurance Company-Driven Propaganda Storm It's almost heartening to see them go to these lengths - they're getting a little scared - though I worry how many wingnut media outlets will reference the report as if it's substantive..? ( From the Washington Post ) The Insurance Industry's Deceptive Report by Ezra Klein In the hallowed tradition of the tobacco and energy industries, the health insurance industry has commissioned a report (pdf) projecting doom and despair for those who seek to reform its business practices. The report was farmed out to the consultancy PricewaterhouseCoopers, which has something of a history with this sort of thing: In the early-'90s, the tobacco industry commissioned PWC to estimate the economic devastation that would result from a tax on tobacco. The report was later analyzed by the Arthur Andersen Economic Consulting group, which concluded that "the cumulative effect of PW’s methods … is to produce patently unreliable results.&qu

Oct.13-19 - More Returns and Changes

      Even though I've already watched the pair of debut episodes of Frasier (see next paragraph), and this week's Star Trek: Lower Decks (which continues to do a stellar job of mining  previous Trek series for character, episode and extraterrestrial culture lore and deftly applying them at breakneck speeds), I still have multiple things I'm looking forward to catching up on, including new eps of Gen V (Amazon Prime), Loki (Disney+), and both Archer and Welcome to Wrexham (both on Hulu), along with the first two episodes of a final six for Doom Patrol over on Max... and that's just off the top of my head, so getting this week's streaming post out of the way brings those one step closer for me.       I've watched the two episodes of the new Frasier series that arrived on Paramount+ this week, and while it was a mixed bag it was good to see the character back, with him attempting to move into his third act by returning to Boston, where we first met the ch

The Tease of Things I Don't Need

     The lure of things we don't need, could easily find greater needs to apply the cash to, and which we may not even have the space for, is a very First(ish) World Problem, to be sure.        HasLabs is a special projects division of Hasbro, that occasionally pitches large and/or elaborate items - oversized figures and/or vehicles - essentially crowdfunding each project. They set the price, and a funding line - the number of people who need to pledge to buy one (or more -- up to five) at the announced price, then collect the names and information of interested parties for a period of 45 days. Once the number of pledged buys hits the target, the project is greenlit.      A couple years ago there was a HasLabs special build project aiming to fund a production run for an oversized (32" tall), elaborately-articulated action figure of Marvel comics' Devourer of Worlds: Galactus. Back on July 18, 2021 I posted a piece on the project, which at the time was just two days
