Victory in Florida Feeding Case Emboldens the Religious Right: Politicians looking for re-election and consolidating party gains, playing to the extremists. Florida used to be solidly Democratic, even after most of the rest of the South shifted, and I think people in the southern part of the state need to be more frequent in getting to the polls. Same topic as my letter to Jeb Bush.
House Leaders Are Pushing to Cut Corporate Taxes: the bill was drafted by Rep. Bill Thomas (of California!), chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, who justified the new giveawayproposal because it is less generous to companies than one he floated earlier this year. $60 billion in additional tax breaks but no mention of fixing the low income tax credit problem in last year’s tax cut. Deficit? We have a budget deficit? Whatever.
Bonus note: Antonin Scalia only seems really stupid when he gives speeches ridiculing his colleagues on the Surpeme Court.
