Dan, Re: nazi
I am well aware that people “can” change. I know some ex-democrats that “changed” when they became part of the 2%. I know the chairman of costco (an obama supporter of higher taxes on the “rich”) “changed” a bit when he pushed his income into 2012 to save 4mil on taxes. I know Buffett “changed” when he espoused “higher taxes on the rich (like him)” (as he currently is in litigation fighting his company’s tax burden).
And btw (re: 4:29)… you can fix the problem without raising tax rates…

Warren, re: 8:22…unfortunately, I do not have the time to address every post you expect I should. I have limited time and usually look; first for Dan (out of respect) second for logical posts; and lastly for silly, ignorant and irrelevant posts; although I do make some exceptions, you have not moved into the upper tier of these (keep working); and some days time does not permit any visit at all (though I surely miss it).
However, I will indulge you with this regarding “progressive” vs “regressive”.
Q: why did “liberals” change their name to “progressive”?
Q: if “progressives” want to move “forward” why do they continue to want to “go back” to historical “outdated” tax structures?
Q: why do “progressives” believe a country/government/society can survive on concepts that have historically proven unsustainable?

“Isn’t this an interesting suggestion??”

It would be if Bush were up for Secretary of State.

Why should my tribute to a great saint creep you out?
Comment by Suzie — December 3, 2012 @ 10:07 pm

It isn’t your “tribute” that is creepy, it is the fact that you would again hijack someone’s picture and take it as your own: a cheerleader, a hillbilly character, and now a Saint. What’s next, the Blessed Mother?
If you don’t see how “creepy” this is, well, nothing will help you.

“some sort of perversion”

A sixty year-old man using an eleven year-old girl as an avatar? Nothing wrong with that, although they might want to check your basement.

#60 Nah, Kristen, let’s embarrass Frank a little more. Frank seems somehow offended that because the paper is willing to buy lunch for a possible story subject or future source, the guy decides to eat something good instead of getting a burger. Or offended that Dan would tell that story. Frank, are you equally offended when businesspeople do the exact same thing whether it’s their company or another that’s paying?

Or are you just being a troll boy, Frankie?

Shut up and stop embarrassing yourself, Frank.
