David McOwen - Most hated person on the Internets

Republicans not only blocked 62 of Bill Clinton’s Nominees, they ignored most of them:

5-8-2005 Senate GOP Hopes Deal Will End Filibusters

“The United States Senate is a minority rights institution unique in the world,” Hagel said. “And I don’t think either side wants to give that up. Now, the other part of this, which I also believe strongly, is that presidents deserve votes on their nominees.”

Yet he noted that [B]Republicans prevented votes on many of President Clinton’s choices for the federal bench.[/B]

“[B]The Republicans’ hands aren’t clean on this either.[/B] [B]What we did with Bill Clinton’s nominees — about 62 of them — we just didn’t give them votes in committee or we didn’t bring them up[/B],” Hagel said.

This bring new meaning to the term “Consumption Tax”.

I say go ahead and pass the Tax, keep passing more Taxes on the lower Class.

They are just speeding us closer and faster to the breaking point of Revolution.

The desperation will start settling in, the oppression will settle in.

The lower class will have no choice but to invade and attack the upper class, then it will escalate to an all out Civil War.

I’ll even borrow a line from W, Bring It On.

5-8-2005 Detroit Ponders Fast-Food Tax

DETROIT - Would you like fries with that? Either way, the Detroit city treasury would like a bite. Faced with a $300 million budget hole, Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is hoping people in this already heavily taxed city won’t mind forking over a few extra cents for their Big Macs and Whoppers.

Kilpatrick wants to ask Detroit voters to approve a 2 percent fast-food tax — on top of the 6 percent state sales tax on restaurant meals. The mayor says consumers will barely notice the extra cents at the cash register, but critics say the tax would unfairly burden the poor and hamper economic development.

And just how is “fast food” defined? Besides the obvious chains like Wendy’s and White Castle, officials have mentioned takeout pizza places and Detroit’s ubiquitous chili dog restaurants known as Coney Islands. It’s uncertain, however, where Starbucks or the corner deli would fall.

The administration says it is still working on a definition.

Nice programming by the Wordpress folks. I have a Blog again.

It is free code that is uploaded to the Web Host server.

I had a perl based (that also used web host server and was free) back in November 2001 that was done by Noah Grey.

Another New Beginning 4-30-2005.

Besides for my posts, I invite all that would like to post their thoughts as well.

I’ll keep adding to this as I think of things to add. Blogs achieve one of the original ideas of the Internet to be an interactive information tool for mankind. People can write back as well as get information from it.

I’m hoping to achieve that on this Blog. When I come across a exclusive story as I have in the past I will report it here. When I see stories that I have a comment on I will post them here and hope that others would comment on them as well.
