Liberals ignore Obama’s Guantantanamos
Instapundit » Blog Archive » IT’S AS IF ALL THAT HUMAN-RIGHTS CONCERN WAS JUST PARTISAN HACKERY
Liberals ignore Obama’s Guantanamos: The same people who excoriated Bush’s war on terror are letting Obama do as he pleases.
"Let me be clear: All you people who were playing the have-you-no-decency card under Bush, but who aren’t screaming just as loud now — which is pretty much all of you people who were playing the have-you-no-decency card under Bush — were and are miserable lying hacks.
And I thank Obama for making that perfectly clear, at least."

Candidate warns absentee voters need information about primary now
I sent this letter (last week) to MCC President Nesbary, the Muskegon Chamber of Commerce and The Muskegon Chronicle.
My hope was they will host forums, debates or otherwise provide concise candidate information so the voters (myself included!) can make informed decisions during the time when absentee voters are sending their ballots.
While I appreciate The Chronicle posting my LTE, I have yet to hear of any voter information available from the movers and shakers at MCC, the Muskegon C of C or The Chronicle.
One of the main reasons Muskegon is "muskegon" is we have voted for "leaders" who have made bad policy and spending decisions.
We citizens need more information about candidates if we are to make informed, intelligent voting decisions.
EyeOnMuskegon will host a special show this Sunday at 8:30-10:00am (EyeOnMuskegon.com) on the candidates.
Hopefully more information will become available SOON from other Muskegon leadership centers.

But to justify a revolution, it was not thought to be enough that officials of the government of England, the Parliament, or even the sovereign himself had violated the rights of the people.
No government is perfect; all governments violate rights.
This was well known.
So the Americans had to allege more than mere violations of rights.
They had to allege nothing short of a criminal conspiracy to violate their rights systematically.
Hence, the famous reference to “a long train of abuses and usurpations” and the list that follows.
In some cases, these specific complaints account for provisions eventually included in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

NOAA Denies Existence of Mermaids
NOAA Denies Existence of Mermaids : Discovery News
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which usually deals with environmental matters like tsunamis and hurricanes, recently took the strange step of posting a statement on their website denying that mermaids exist.
In a post titled, “No Evidence of Aquatic Humanoids Has Ever Been Found,” NOAA notes that:
The belief in mermaids may have arisen at the very dawn of our species.
Magical female figures first appear in cave paintings in the late Paleolithic (Stone Age) period some 30,000 years ago, when modern humans gained dominion over the land and, presumably, began to sail the seas.
Half-human creatures, called chimeras, also abound in mythology — in addition to mermaids, there were wise centaurs, wild satyrs, and frightful minotaurs, to name but a few.
But are mermaids real?
No evidence of aquatic humanoids has ever been found."
Why would NOAA bother to pour cold water on mermaids?
After all, there are many mythical things that the government doesn’t explicitly deny exist.
The United States Bureau of Mines doesn’t issue statements clarifying that no dragons or trolls have been discovered in underground caves or mines, for example.
So why mermaids? And why now?

Snyder vetoes controversial voter ID, registration bills
Snyder vetoes controversial voter ID, registration bills | The Detroit News | detroitnews.com
Gov. Rick Snyder on Tuesday vetoed three election law bills pushed by Republican legislators seeking to require a ballot box affirmation of citizenship, restrict voter registration drives and require photo ID for obtaining an absentee ballot.
Snyder said he vetoed the absentee ballot bill, House Bill 5061, because it would not let an absentee ballot count if the person did not affirm their citizenship by the close of the polls on an Election Day.
"I am concerned (the bill) could create voter confusion among absentee voters," Snyder wrote in a veto letter to legislators.

The 3.8% Roberts Tax on Investment Income Kicks in on Jan. 1, 2013
TaxProf Blog: WSJ: The 3.8% Roberts Tax on Investment Income Kicks in on Jan. 1, 2013
Here are answers to some basic questions about the tax:
How does the 3.8% tax on investment income work?
How is "investment income" defined?
What are some examples of when the tax would and wouldn't apply?
How would the 3.8% tax apply to the sale of a principal residence?
What happens if a taxpayer has adjusted gross income above the threshold that is then reduced by a large itemized deduction—such as for medical expenses or a charitable gift?
Does the 3.8% tax apply to trusts and estates?
Doesn't the health-care law also have an extra payroll tax for higher earners?

Tweak in a Pension Rule Could Finance Roads and Student Loans
Tweak in a Pension Rule Could Finance Roads and Student Loans - NYTimes.com:
But the highway bill that Congress is rushing to complete by Friday contains a measure that would let companies slow their pension contributions again.
Because the contributions are tax-deductible, permitting smaller contributions would mean that companies take fewer tax deductions — and as a result, create more federal revenue.
The provision is expected to increase corporate income tax receipts by $9.4 billion over the next 10 years, according to calculations issued Thursday by the Joint Committee on Taxation.

According to county staff, operation of the expanded public transit services would be eligible for 50 to 80 percent federal and state operating assistance programs.
However, some concerns were raised earlier this year about the additional expense of the expanded service and the possibility of the federal funding help eventually drying up.
Koens has said an analysis would be completed for potential operations along the M-120 corridor, the Whitehall Road corridor and the Heights-Ravenna Road corridor

Bottom line, if we want to lower prison costs, we must find better ways to manage the system.
If not, we will have significantly lower funding for many more worthwhile expenses such as educating our children.
I am much more comfortable having increases in aid to students than increased spending on inmates.
Competition works, we should give it a try.

Michigan School Health Insurance Costs
Michigan School Health Insurance Costs [Michigan Capitol Confidential]
Four days after Gov. Rick Snyder recommended a 2011-2012 budgetthat would reduce state aid for schools by $300 per pupil, the Petoskeyschool board proposed a plan to reduce the district’s teacher andsupport staff health insurance costs. Its timidity reveals why the publicschool establishment finds even the prospect of modest state fundingreductions so traumatic ($300 is just 3 percent of the $9,742Petoskey spent per student in 2009).
The most aggressive part of the Petoskey board’s plan is tocap the district’s future health insurance premium payments at next year’slevel.
But those capped rates would still be significantly out of line withprivate-sector averages.
The Petoskey News reports the district anticipates spending$17,756 for each employee enrolled in a family plan next year.
That’s roughly72 percent more than the private-sector average in Michigan.

USDA's new tactic to promote food stamps: Party!
USDA's new tactic to promote food stamps: Party! | Fox News
Forget Tupperware bashes and toga soirees -- the latest rage is food stamp parties.
The USDA is encouraging the nation's food stamp program to promote to the elderly using parties and games.
A series of guides currently posted on the USDA website promotes local offices of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program -- or SNAP, but commonly referred to as food stamps -- to entice eligible seniors to enroll in the welfare program.
The promotional campaign has cost between $2.5 million and $3 million.
“Throw a Great Party.
Host social events where people mix and mingle,” the pamphlet encourages in one of the guides.
“Make it fun by having activities, games, food, and entertainment, and provide information about SNAP.
Putting SNAP information in a game format like BINGO, crossword puzzles, or even a ‘true/false’ quiz is fun and helps get your message across in a memorable way.”

The “tough love” was left for the Muskegon County Board of Commissioners.

........“I challenge the county board to become leaders in Muskegon County,” he said.
“I don’t think we have had one county commissioner who was serving all of the citizens of Muskegon County.
We need to change the attitude of the county commission.”

Does the Taxing Clause Give Congress Unlimited Power?
TaxProf Blog: Jensen: Does the Taxing Clause Give Congress Unlimited Power?
Erik M. Jensen (Case Western), Does the Taxing Clause Give Congress Unlimited Power?, 135 Tax Notes 1515 (June 18, 2012):
The idea has gained currency that the Taxing Clause in the Constitution gives Congress the power to do anything, or almost anything, that would be funded by taxation.
Most recently, that argument has been advanced in connection with the litigation about the individual mandate in the Obamacare legislation — by, among others, legal philosopher Ronald Dworkin.
If the penalty for failure to acquire suitable insurance will be a tax, then, it is argued, the requirement to acquire insurance, the mandate, will itself be a valid exercise of the taxing power.
If that’s right, it certainly isn’t obviously so.
Since almost everything the national government does is funded through taxation, that understanding would lead to a conception of congressional power that is effectively unlimited, and the Taxing Clause would trump almost all other grants of congressional power in Article I, section 8.

Roberts Facing Medical Option on 2nd Seizure
Roberts Facing Medical Option on 2nd Seizure - NYTimes.com
The decision will involve weighing the risk of more seizures against the risk of side effects from the drugs.
Major seizures can be a frightening and traumatic experience for patients and family members.
Patients are advised to avoid heights and not to swim alone, and many states bar them from driving until they can provide evidence that the disease is under control.
But the drugs can have troubling side effects, including drowsiness or insomnia, weight loss or weight gain, rashes, irritability, mental slowing and forgetfulness.
Many patients can be treated with minimal side effects, doctors say, but it may take trial and error to find the right drug.

Obama hails ruling as win for 'middle class'; justices hand tax issue to GOP
The high court’s ruling leaves in place 21 tax increases in the health care law costing more than $675 billion over the next 10 years, according to the House Ways and Means Committee.
Of those, 12 tax hikes would affect families earning less than $250,000 per year, the panel said, including a “Cadillac tax” on high-cost insurance plans, a tax on insurance providers and an excise tax on medical-device manufacturers.
Tax implications of health care reform legislation
Tax implications of health care reform legislation - Managing Your Money
Section 1401 of the Amendment – High cost plan excise tax: Starting in 2018, high cost health insurance plans will be subject to a tax.
Plans for single persons that cost in excess of $10,200 and family plans that cost in excess of $27,500 are in this sections crosshairs.
The excise tax rate on incremental costs will be 40 percent.
In an attempt to appease union dissent, this tax will not be assessed on the individual but will be assessed on the insurance company providing the plan.
Ultimately, the costs will still be burdened by the purchaser.
Holy shiitake!
I just read it!
The property taxes of almost EVERYONE in the country will go up because of Sec. 1401-"High cost plan excise tax".
Most school and municiple unions have forced Cadillac style high-cost plans on the public.
Now we've got to pay a tax on the rip-off they've stuck us with too?!!!!!!
