Our operations in Somalia--which even US government officials admit may be counterproductive in the long run--are the latest case in point.
The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?

We finally have a proactive president...
This is pro-active idiocy.
Iraq
Somalia
Mali
Mexico
Indonesia (?)
Pakistan
we, the shining city on the hill, are killing people in all these countries and probably more. Who knows what our anti-drug efforts are doing in central America?
And our President runs around with his secret list. He won't tell anyone who's on it, but if your name shows up, you're dead.
For you Dem progs who think that's OK, imagine President Jeb Bush with that power in four years.
Obomba is "pro-active" like a warlord is "pro-active".
Since you feel that's "awesome".
Have a read of Glenn Greenwald's latest article.
He talking about you.
