From reader K. Hill.

Is there a political message here?

For Axlerod, let's see what happens with taxes, healthcare, cap & graft, etc.; 7/13/09, 1:35 PM

traditionalguy said...: This gag reminds one of Sir Francis Bacon's attitude towards money: Money is like manure. It only has value when it is spread around. Trouble is we wanted to do our own spreading of it around here to our own families and grandchildren instead of all over everywhere to "Grow Global Governance" for someone elses children and grandchildren. Did you know that the noble Ghingis Khan also spread everyone else's money around?; 7/13/09, 2:44 PM

Axelrod is the big bait and switch guy in the WH. Having read my hypocritical local WaPo Editorial board opine on Health Care today got me steamed. They said today:

Fortuitously, the most sensible way to pay for expanded coverage -- taxing employer-provided health insurance -- also would help control costs. Taxing wages but not health insurance encourages more generous insurance benefits. Costs go up because there is more demand for services. It's mind-boggling that lawmakers continue to resist tapping this ready source of financing -- and doing good at the same time.

Obama is pushing this approach now, but during the election. Axelrod was running those ads demonizing McCain for suggesting that a revenue neutral shift into taxing employer health care benefits along with a matching deduction on the employee side would shift equation and allow a more portable health care insurance system. Obama was using every appearance to talk about McCain destroying our health care system.

Then my WaPo, wanting Obama to win, castigated McCain... Those sluts. :(; 7/13/09, 2:53 PM

Kirby Olson said...: Communist toilet paper in the East Bloc was very scratch, about the softness of brown lunchbag paper. The nicest thing you could do for a communist family back then was to bring them an 8-pack of Charmin.

It was more effective than years of propaganda. When the wall came down, millions of Germans and Czechs went to the west to get their toilet paper!; 7/13/09, 4:55 PM

As long as Axelrod doesn't wiggle his furry ass at us like that little bear....; 7/13/09, 5:01 PM

That is crossing the line.

Really.
