Here we go, February. It’s the shortest month of the year. It can be warm and balmy or it can be frigid. There are lots of holidays in February. Both Lincoln and Washington were born in February. We have 3 family birthdays this month. February 9, 10, and 26.
I just got the call of doom. Car totaled I got deered by a deer. I have to bury a wonderful car.
@Pat.Herve
There shouldn’t be a “tax credit.”
Just tax them on what is earned HERE.

I agree. I appreciate hearing his perspective.
For anyone interested in the state of science, scientific inquiry, climate science, and activism.
The Lewandowsky mentioned is also the same person who invented the “97% consensus” with his student, Cook.

that would require Congress to actually do something. Obama has been asking for tax reform since he took office. The Republicans have the majority in Congress. I ask them – Do It.
Territorial taxing does not address Income Shifting and tax avoidance – the UK and others are fighting that right now. Even in the EU with a territorial tax system, corporations are headquarter shopping to get the best deal.
But even with no change, they are not double taxed. When 26 of the fortune 500 pay no federal income tax in 5 years – http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-tax-corporate-idUSBREA1P04Q20140226 – I am not so sure there is a problem to fix. “Boeing’s total effective tax rate for 2013 was 26.4 percent” (from the article) – This is far from the sky is falling marginal rate of 39%.
Our tax code should be simplified – where is the proposal from Congress – put it on Obama’s desk and let him veto it.
Tax reform, from Obama, means raising taxes and having corporations “pay their fair share.” And it means using the IRS to attack political opponents.
Cruz wants reform. Elect him and you’ll get it.
I agree that the current politicians don’t want to “reform.” It removes chances for graft and influence peddling. The only people calling for a simplified tax system are the conservatives.
Obama hasn’t raised my taxes…not even a penny.
Cruz is evil. Why would I want Satan as president? I would far rather have Trump if I had to have someone unfit for the presidency.
HAPPY MARDI GRAS !!!!!!!

@Cargosquid
Why doesn’t the Republican Congress put a tax reform deal on the table and send it up to Obama? Crickets. Put it on his desk. Let him veto a good deal.
The President does not get to set the legislation – the House should.
It is becoming increasingly obvious as I watch the BOCS meeting, that an unholy deal with the devil has been cut.
Let me just say how disappointed I am, with individuals and with my own judgement.
What happened to Michelle McQuigg? She looks like someone beat her up. Broken arm or something. Maybe it’s bad karma for hating gay marriage so much.
She certainly didn’t learn that crap at Mary Washington College. I can’t even picture her there.
Interesting discussion about doing away with the concealed weapon permit fee.
I wish they would do away with the dog tag fee. Cats don’t have to have them.
Corey is playing to his perceived conservative base. What a shame that people just can’t be themselves and forget about their bases.
If I hear the word conervative just one more time, I am going to projectile vomit. Get over it Pete , Corey and Jeanine! Gag!!!
Pete is beating up Herring but no mention of the deal cut with Gov. McAuliffe. I guess that would kill him to say something good about any democrat. Pete is talking about his daughters. Ummm…Pete….your daughters are children. Let’s not give them guns. (unless they have aged tremendously in 4 years)
Mrs. Caddigan is making a great deal of sense. Go Maureen. How can we remove fees while we tax everything else in the world. Hunting, fishing, dogs, cars, building decks, etc.
Corey is just making me want to put my foot through the TV.
Marty Nohe is making sense also. He is eloquent, even if you don’t agree with him (but I do)
Pete and Corey are hysterical because the board isn’t agreeing with them. Frank basically stated that we have the right to bear arms, we don’t have the right to carry concealed.
Corey exploded. He doesn’t take legal advice from Frank. Woot Woot!!
Obviously there is a new alliance here on the board.
I see an old fashioned temper tantrum or two from grown men.
Ms. McQuigg and Sheriff Hill do not support the motion. They are losing revenue to do their job.
@Pat.Herve
I answered that.
“I agree that the current politicians don’t want to “reform.” It removes chances for graft and influence peddling. The only people calling for a simplified tax system are the conservatives.”
People like Pete are the reason collective bargaining exits. He’s not just a fiscal conservative – most reasonable taxpayers are – that’s not a novelty. He goes too far and is condescending to his employees. The longer this continues the more groups will push to insert themselves with county employees. Certainly not in the short term, these things usually take time. But once they start it will take longer than his tenure to recover.
Too bad that he is driven by his puppet-master. He is condescending to employees, like they work for him and him alone. The entire thing sickens me.
I wonder who else they are going to try to run off.
Oh let me go off and live in a big-ass house and not pay my fair share of taxes. I am here with the zero based tax people. I guess I will be run off next.
Holy smokes Hillary got Berned! She even lost every single female demo to Bernie except for one, 65+. She only has one hope left now and that is picking up more of the minority vote in the south.
That means only one thing… she will be dusting off her fake black church accent in the next few days while she campaigns in SC.
Also, look for the Democrat establishment to start warming up the bullpen. Their starter is getting hammered and just gave up a grand slam.
Her loss was expected in New Hampshire. Don’t read too much into it.
I’m not paying attention to the primaries until super tuesday.
Actually, I agree with you. I am not sealing any deals until then either.
I dont understand the super delegates thing and I actually am so tired of it already, I dont choose to learn.
By the way…. the Democrats in New Hampshire also use “super delegates” that get to pick their chosen candidate.
All eight of them picked Hillary, so she left with MORE delegates than Bernie.
That is some system….

Ted Nugent digs in amid anti-Semitic accusations — and calls for his NRA ouster
Gun owners are pressuring the National Rifle Association to boot longtime board member Ted Nugent from the organization’s leadership ranks after the rock star’s social media outburst that depicted prominent American Jews as the men and women “really behind gun control.”
Nugent, an outspoken Second Amendment advocate, posted a photo on Facebook earlier this week calling Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), “Jew York City Mayor Mikey Bloomberg,” former senator Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, among many others, “punks” who would “deny us the basic human right to self defense and to keep and bear arms while many of them have paid hired armed security.”
The Israeli flag appears over or next to each of the 12 faces in the photo, which is the same one that has been shared many times in white supremacist circles, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
The post prompted applause from anti-Semitic and neo-Nazi groups.
Nugent later posted a photo of Nazis rounding up Jews during the Holocaust and described gun-control advocates as “soulless sheep to slaughter.”
Nugent’s Facebook posts triggered cries of anti-Semitism and prompted gun-control activists and Second Amendment advocates alike to call for his removal from NRA’s board of directors; even several leading voices in the gun rights movement say they can no longer justify his “simple-minded” remarks.
The “Cat Scratch Fever” singer has served on the NRA board since 1995.
An NRA spokeswoman told The Washington Post on Wednesday that “individual board members do not speak for the NRA.”
[Ted Nugent rocks the political world]
Nugent’s comments have landed him in trouble in the past. He has targeted the Supreme Court, Trayvon Martin and Hillary Clinton. He once called President Obama a “sub-human mongrel” — and then apologized. (Even Nugent’s own brother said he had “clearly crossed a line.”)
But he has shown no remorse this time, even as other gun rights activists have taken to publicly criticizing him.
Amid the backlash, Nugent on Wednesday reposted his 2010 tribute to Aaron Zelman, who founded Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership.
“My hero, my American BloodBrother and an American Warrior legend, the great Aaron Zelman perfectly represented all free men who refuse to be controlled by others or denied our God given right to keep and bear arms,” he wrote at the time. “We stand repulsed by the ugly soullessness of unarmed helplessness.”
On Wednesday, Nugent pointed out that Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership recently criticized him for this week’s controversial comments.
“How tragic that the self inflicted scourge of political correctness can blind so many otherwise intelligent people!” he wrote on Facebook.
But Bob Owens, editor for BearingArms.com, wrote online this week that Nugent should have realized he “stepped in it” when “even-tempered pro-gun folks took issue” with his Facebook posts.
Instead, Nugent rehashed his point in another post — comparing Jewish gun-control advocates to Nazis.
“What sort of racist prejudiced POS could possibly not know that Jews for gun control are Nazis in disguise?” Nugent wrote.
Owens said many gun rights advocates are now “simply done with Nugent.”
“They’re tired of feeling that they have to defend his half-baked rhetoric and simple-minded outbursts,” Owens wrote on BearingArms.com. “Many people are calling for him to resign from the NRA Board and for him to have his membership stripped from him.
“While I think forcing him out of the NRA entirely is a bit much, I do think he owes the world a sincere apology. If he can’t find that sincerity in his heart, then he has no business being on the board of an inclusive organization such as the National Rifle Association.”
[Cheat sheet: Ted Nugent’s greatest hits]
In fact, many gun owners who once supported Nugent seem to have changed their minds.
His recent Facebook posts are littered with negative comments suggesting that he may have gone too far.
Click here for more information!
One commenter called Nugent’s post “disgraceful.”
“Uncle Ted, I support (many) of your viewpoints, and have been a long term fan of your music,” the man wrote, “but this time you’ve gone way over the line.”
Another user told Nugent: “You sank low here.”
“I call total f—— b——- here,” he wrote. “I am a Jewish conservative gun owner. This is just f—— hate. I’ve always supported you, but f— you Ted.”
Debbie Schlussel, a conservative political commentator and columnist, called out Nugent for mocking Holocaust survivors.
“As a religious Jew who testified with you in the Michigan Senate for relaxing gun laws and strengthening the 2nd Amendment, I’m absolutely disgusted but not at all surprised that you are showing what I always suspected: that you are a Jew-hater and a piece of crap,” she wrote. “Ted Nugent Endorses Jews, then Announces He Hates Jews. Also, I’m sickened you invoke the slogan of Jewish Holocaust survivors, ‘Never Again’ in mockery.”
[Nugent says Obama administration is like Nazis]
Robert Farago, publisher of the Truth About Guns, said that Nugent’s remarks “take it to the next, deeply disgusting level” and asked the NRA to act.
“Mr. Nugent should remove this post and ‘clarify’ his statement,” he wrote on his group’s website. “The NRA should distance itself from Mr. Nugent. They should revoke his membership and remove him from their Board.”
Anti-Defamation League Director Jonathan Greenblatt said Nugent’s comments were “nothing short of conspiratorial anti-Semitism.”
“Regardless of one’s views on gun control, this kind of scapegoating of an entire religious group is completely unacceptable and completely divorced from reality,” Greenblatt said in a statement. “It should go without saying that anti-Semitism has no place in the gun control debate.
“Nugent should be ashamed for promoting anti-Semitic content, and we hope that good people on both sides of the gun control debate will reject his tactics and his message.”
Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, took aim at Nugent as well after being featured in the Facebook post.
“Ted Nugent’s latest comments go beyond being anti-Semitic — they are ignorant and do nothing but fuel hate,” Gross said in a statement. “Personally, I am repulsed — my brother was shot and seriously wounded in a religiously-motivated mass shooting on the observation deck of the Empire State Building. Reasonable people on both sides of the debate recognize Mr. Nugent’s comments for what they are: hate speech and nothing more.”
Gross added that Nugent’s posts were “yet another clear sign of how out of touch NRA’s leadership and Board” are with the group’s members.

@Moon-howler
You’re right Moon, she was expected to lose… but not by historic numbers like she did. She also wasn’t expected to lose every female demo either.
It doesn’t matter though, the system is clearly rigged for Hillary. She barely won Iowa because of a few coin flips and she got beaten in NH by a historic amount. Yet these are the numbers so far:
Hillary – 394 delegates
Sanders – 44 delegates
What kind of F’d up system is that? I thought that Democrats were for the little people, the average Joe.
So don’t vote for her. You apparently don’t like her and she must give you nightmares.
I am sitting her looking at my beautiful absentee ballot. Now let’s see, whose name shall I put on it…oh I don’t know….Bernie…Hillary. Bernie…Hillary. Which would annoy Jackson the most.
another anti-science Republican at it again – http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/11/politics/duncan-hunter-vaping-congressman-plane-amendment/
Another nanny state Republican wants to fine people caught smoking in a car with kids. At what point does big government stay out of people’s lives?
I am not defending smoking on top of kids but….don’t those kids go home to someone’s house and live with that same smoke? When does the government have the right to come into our homes and tell us we cannot smoke? For that matter, its getting just a little iffy getting in our cars.
Like seat belts.
@Moon-howler
You know what Moon, she does give me nightmares. As SoS she not only exposed top secret national security information on an unauthorized and unsecured email server (in an attempt to avoid FOIA requests) but she also outed the identities of secret agents in the field putting their lives at risk.
If she is that stupid, or incompetent – take your pick, as SoS I shutter to think of what she would F up as President.
I dont feel that she is the least bit stupid or incompetent. I think that you hate her and are irrational on the subject. I won’t be discussing her with you in the future.
looks like in an attempt to shore up her lead with minorities in the south Hillary picked up the endorsement of CBC announced by Congressman John Lewis; an icon of the civil rights movement. In his announcement he stated the reason for his endorsement of Hillary:
…referring to Sanders: “To be very frank, I never saw him, I never met him,”
…referring to Hillary: “I chaired the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee for three years, from 1963-1966. I was involved in sit-ins, Freedom Rides, the March on Washington, the March from Selma to Montgomery … but I met Hillary Clinton, I met President Clinton.”
Unfortunately this is a complete lie exposed by his very own words in an interview he did for a book on Bill Clinton (Conversations: William Jefferson Clinton, from Hope to Harlem). In the book he said that he was first introduced to Bill Clinton by one of his aides, Rodney Slater, in 1991 and never mentioned meeting Hillary.
Why in the world would that annoy me? Your vote isn’t worth the paper your absentee ballot is printed on. That should annoy you.
Its worth one vote. No more or no less than yours.
You are obsessed with Hillary.
At least I find Ted and the Donald amusing. There is some sort of plus to being entertained.
Now that’s funny! 🙂

Anyone know what happened to BVBL? Did Greg finally get his dumb ass arrested?
I believe Greg is alive and well. His truck is out in front of his house and I know people see him periodically…out and about.
He doesn’t appear to have updated his stupid website in ages. Maybe he ran out of lies to tell, or just got tired of people calling him “Lyin'” Greg Letiecq.
I don’t know. Maybe someone will come along and answer your question. I just don’t know what he is up to. Probably trying to earn a living.
Justice Scalia passed away today. RIP. McConnell comes out and says the new appointment should wait until the next President – The next President is 11 months away. When in history was it prudent to wait over a year to appoint a new Supreme Court Justice.
Let Obama make a nomination, if the nomination is unqualified – vote them down. This nonsense of kicking the can down the road, avoiding difficult decisions and all around doing nothing needs to stop. Congress/Senate – do your jobs.
I figured that was going to happen. O’Connell will drag it out as long as he can. Hell, if Jesus were the nominee, they would think of some reason to hold up the appointment if Obama nominated.
I nominate Kirsten Giilbrand.
Senate Republicans won’t be “avoiding difficult decisions” or just “doing nothing.” They will refuse to confirm any Obama nominee because of the likely major and long-term effect on the ideology of the now 4-4 Supreme Court. I agree with that. This is an election year. Let the people choose a new POTUS and then let that new POTUS address the SCOTUS vacancy. To the winners go the spoils. Obama has already had more than his fair share of opportunities to shaft the Republic.
McConnell’s statement (and Mike Lee’s and Ted Cruz’s and no doubt others) is as anti-constitutional and anti-American as McConnell’s statement at the beginning of the Obama presidency that Job 1 was to make Obama a one-term president. Obama should appoint the best possible candidate he can get to agree to go through what has become a demeaning process in the Senate. If the candidate is unqualified, the Senate should not approve the nomination. But there is no reason to suspend or ignore the Constitution just because we lost a great Justice. I suspect Justice Scalia would say much the same thing.
BTW, the Court doesn’t have an ideology, Wolve. The country would be a lot better off if a lot of Senators made sure that they steered clear of ideology themselves. Ideology is a peculiarly anti-American phenomenon. Best left to Middle European academics.
Piffle, Scout. The current court has almost always been 4 liberals vs 4 conservatives (with an occasional Roberts meandering) + a Kennedy-who-ever-knows-where-the-hell-he’ll-wind-up swing vote. Where the court may actually go at 4+3+Kennedy I don’t know. But don’t waste your breath trying to slip suicidal notions into conservative ears. If McConnell and the rest of Senate Repubs ever let an Obama nominee through to turn SCOTUS into 5 liberals, they would kill their own party dead as a door nail. This country is in a political war. Don’t pretend it isn’t.
So you are suggesting tossing aside the Constitution to preserve a political party? I don’t think that is how it was supposed to be.
War is a bitch, isn’t it? I’m sure Harry Reid would do the same thing if the situation was reversed.
Tossing aside the Constitution? Now, where have I seen that done in the past seven years? So, now the Republicans are going to get an avalanche of piety about the Constitution in an attempt to smooth talk them into throwing away their advantage?
The Senate would just be exercising its Article II Section 2 right of advice and consent. Can you show me where that has a specified legal time limit?
Wolve, in his mind at least, doesn’t live in the greatest Constitutional Republic in the history of the world. He lives in an ideological war.
Obama should appoint a qualified replacement as quickly as possible. If the Senate finds the nominee unqualified, they can vote him/her down. The next president will have a chance to fill plenty of vacancies on his/her own watch. There is no constitutional support for the idea that a sitting president can only fill vacancies that occurred in the previous president’s term. What kind of odd system would that be?
+1
Where in the Constitution does it say what the idealogical makeup of SCOTUS should be? They are just Obstructing. I have no idea who POTUS is going to nominate, but the Senate should VOTE – up or down.
Just like these past few weeks – Cruz who was not even present was able to place ‘holds’ on Ambassadors and State Department appointees. He was not even present. Where in the Constitution does it spell out that a Senator does not even need to be present to Obstruct. It does not. Our Congress is failing us.
For the the puffery and sound bites out of the Republicans, they are proving themselves as do nothing blow hards. Put legislation on Obama’s desk every day and let him veto it. Put a budget up. Put up immigration. Put up Obamacare replacement. Nothing.
The Republicans are imploding in on themselves – when the best nominee is a rich mediocre business man and reality tv star, a Canadian born one term Senator, a cuban one term Senator, a Bush and a retired surgeon – they do not need any other help to implode.
The Democrats are not much better – but at least they say you need to raise taxes to spend more money.
Pat, you have made some excellent points.
Debate rips open GOP wounds, and party risks tearing itself apart
GREENVILLE, S.C. — In an election that Republicans have long seen as a chance to put forward new stars with a fresh and broadly appealing conservative vision, the GOP is instead at risk of tearing itself apart over its past as it heads into the thick of the primary season.
A day after a debate marked by a series of personal, petty exchanges — and a day before former president George W. Bush was set to make a high-profile return to the national scene — Republicans were grappling with their core beliefs on a host of issues, as well as the image they were broadcasting to the country.
The infighting was ignited at the debate Saturday night by front-runner Donald Trump, who was unrelenting in his criticism of both how well the 43rd president kept America safe before and after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and of the hawkish Republican worldview in general.
The foreign policy fracas is only the latest row among 2016 candidates over many of the basic tenets that have guided Republican and conservative thinking since the Reagan years, from free trade to the extent to which the federal government should be involved in providing health care for its poorest citizens.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/debate-rips-open-gop-wounds-and-party-risks-tearing-itself-apart/2016/02/14/886312c2-d334-11e5-be55-2cc3c1e4b76b_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_gopsouthcarolina8p%3Ahomepage%2Fstory
Trump said it. Bush lied and people died. I would never vote for him but on this he was right.
Trump was correct several times Sat. night. Strange that he is ending up looking like the good guy. How screwed up is that????
“Lie” is a strong word and it is used quite loosely in modern parlance. I think a more accurate and fair way to describe the events of 2002-2003 would be to say that Bush and his advisors over-extrapolated from stale intelligence. Invading Iraq was a horrible bungle that has cost and will continue to cost the United States severely, both economically and from a security standpoint. But the issue is not one of mendacity. It probably is an issue of advisors who did not advise soundly and a president who lacked sufficient knowledge and instincts to test the lines he was being sold by a few key people who let their policy agendas run away with them at the expense of our national interests.
In any event, Trump is sliming Jeb Bush by trying to attack W. These are different people. It’s a typical Trump schoolyard tactic. It probably is effective, but not something one wants to see for people who aspire to any position of leadership, particularly President of the United States.
@Pat.Herve
Senator Schumer advocated waiting 18 months.
Apparently it was good policy then.
And, admittedly I’m biased, but based on Obama’s recent personnel picks in the last 7 years, jut the fact that Obama is picking said person is perfect evidence that they are not suited for whatever role he wants them to play.
So one person says something stupid. Why is a country going to hang on that basis?
Who thought it was good policy? I don’t know anyone who thought that. At any rate, it didn’t happen.
What do you have against Satamayor? Fagan? What is it that they do that bothers you so much?
@Pat.Herve
And the conservatives say that we need to stop spending the money.
So, the conservatives are even better than the democrats.
The Democrat candidates are worse. A hypocritical senator that thinks socialism works and a Clinton that has demonstrated that she cares nothing for laws, honesty, or competency.
Complaining about 1 term senators? With Obama in office? Are you saying that he should not have been elected?
@Scout
Ideology isn’t American?
Where did you get that idea?
The FOUNDERS were ideologues. Federalist and Anti-Federalists? That ring a bell?
@Cargosquid
And the conservatives say that we need to stop spending the money. – and then the conservatives go and spend more money without a funding stream. Name the conservative and we can find the spending.
Reagan – deficits. Debt.
Bush 1 – Deficits.
Bush II – Iraq war cost $1.7 Trillion plus $500 billion for lifetime military pensions and benefits. Afghanistan $1 Trillion plus $400 Billion for lifetime military pensions and benefits. Medicare part D with no additional funding and then get this – cut taxes.
No thanks. IF you are going to spend it, you should find the funding. Congress is failing us.
This thread is getting longer than February.
LOL no kidding. I was thinking the same thing myself. Someone let me know if it shuts off.
I will lie about the date and reopen it.
That’s funny.
The great strength of the American Republic, Cargo, is that we have never been an ideological country. Ideology was a Marxist/Hegelian, Mittel-Europa effort to impose a kind of Field Theory on political activity. We have always been far more practical. We eschew ideology (although over the past quarter century, it appears, in very simplistic, toxic forms to be getting some traction), because it is backward thinking. It moves deductively to force solutions that may or may not (and, I posit, more often do not) solve human problems.
What we see (even on this blog site, but more generally in America) is a lot of folks being seduced by the Siren-song of ideological outlook. It blinds them to nuance and starts them thinking from solutions backwards towards facts, ignoring the facts that don’t fit the pre-conceived solutions. I hope it doesn’t take. It will wreck the noble American experiment.
Since when is supporting the US Constitution as written and amended an ideology?
Its all in the interpretation….
Take the 14th amendment for example….
Since never, Wolve. Exactly my point. Thank you.
