Think gas prices are high now? Several organizations are calling on Congress to increase the gas tax in order to continue to pay for road construction.
The 2006 IRS numbers are out. And guess what? The top 1% are paying 40% of all income taxes. I thought Bush’s tax cuts were supposed to benefit the rich. The top 10% pays 71% of all income taxes. The top 10% earns $108,904 while the top 1% makes $388,806.
Turns out, our own government has been part of the whole sub-prime mortgage mess. The FDIC took over a bank years ago and continued giving out questionable mortgages.

Think our inflation is bad? Try Zimbabwe. They have introduced a 100-billion-dollar note due to their 2.2 million percent inflation rate. Now, I know why Robert Mugabe is so well loved.

Obama starts his foreign policy tour. His first stop over the weekend was Afghanistan where he met with President Hamid Karzai. Obama called the country, “precarious and urgent.” His next country on his tour will be Iraq. Sen. Joe Lieberman says Obama’s trip there is only possible because of McCain. When Obama heads to Germany he will speak at the Victory Column, not the Brandenburg Gate.
The Olympics start in three weeks and China is still worried about smog. So they have shut down factories and limited the number of cars that can hit the city streets. Nothing like trying to hide your pollution.

Oh Great Oz Ankarlo, it is DMX day, we have a black man running for president, and we can’t get news about Iraq or the 1302 men and women that have died because of all that “Surge” Return on Success in Iraq.
How many times does it take to arrest him? He was just arrested three weeks ago, so we have to give our Law Enforcement Intelligence Unit a “golf clap” for being on top of his warrants in the system.
This is another “CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE” on the part of MCSO like in the Erflie case. Just arrest him for show, then let him go for a bigger better Press Release Show. That could of turned into a violent scene, psychologically, because how many times do you have to arrest him “publicly.” Stop letting him out because his back is going to be up against the wall and someone is going to get hurt eventually. Who’s negligent everytime we let him go willingly and knowingly when he has outstanding warrants? How does that happen?
Officer Erflie didn’t have the opportunity to ask this question, so I am! We let that kid go, over and over, and over and over and then that great tragedy played out on the MCSO Press Conference of the day. Sherriff Joe Live, Andrew Thomas Live.
We let him go, because at that time he was just a number and the IIMPACT numbers we were looking for at that time.
Oh Great Oz Ankarlo, did you catch “Grammstanding” McCain’s Lichtenstein Report on our Energy woes in America.
It’s now Barrack Obama’s fault for our Energy Policies under Republican Culture of Corruption control over the past 7 years. It’s Obama’s fault, that John McCain voted yes on “banning drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge” in 2005.
It’s Barrack Obama’s fault that he voted no on terminating corporate average fuel economy standards within months. It’s Obama’s fault that he voted “NO” on restoring $550 million for AMTRAK. In 2000 when he was that great “MEMO WRITING” chairman of the Senate Science, Commerce & Transportation he killed the 10 billion in capital funding. He wanted “Lichtenstein” Privatization for all his “WHISPER” ACCOUNT HOLDERS not paying taxes like all other Americans do. When oil is $15 a barrel, ethanol does not make sense. When oil is $50.00-plus a barrel, then ethanol does make sense. Then he votes “NO on reducing oil usage by 40% by 2025.
So it’s Obama fault, that he was broke in 2007 and had to borrow that 4 million dollars to stay in the race. Now he is flip flopping like he just got caught giving Steven Betts a memo for $100,000 and your federal land near the San Pedro River, through the Yavapai Mountains.
Mr. I Voted No, now attempting to make himself look like he is Energy smart all the while simply “clueless” unless there is a private backdoor contribution towards his next land deal, either personal or Congressional alike! Obama did it. His “lack of light” is shielding the American people from the Sun!
How much power does the average Arizonian get from Palo Verde Nuclear Plant?
we should be paying pennies on the Euro for electricity. But if you have APS you are sitting in the dark because that energy sells for MO MONEY in California and everywhere else that is sold at the expense of the ARizona Tax Payer. Thank you Jon Kyl, thank you “GRAMMSTANDING” Phil Gramm McCain.
It’s Obama’s fault that 4400 men and women have died on behalf of the Republican Culture of Corruption Energy policies over the past 7 years.
Oh Great Oz Ankarlo, the next time you have a one-on-one with our 2nd Covenant “GRAMMSTANDING” McCain that, Iraq and Pakistan do not share a border.
We all know he is 72 years of age, and didn’t know sunni from Shiia, but he has walked the mean streets of Bahgdad with 1000 men and a 1000 ships as though he in the moving “TROY” that Iraq does not share a border with Pakistan, but it is Afganistan. He should know this, as a Commander and Memo Chief on Capitol Hill.
What an embarrassment, you can’t give the guy a break because he will have a “senior moment” and push the button at 3am when Cindy says no John, not today. Iraq-Pakistan Border. America should wonder why if the “surge” why 1302 men and women have died since, and we still have 145,000 troops there.
Iraq-Pakistan Border, that is like saying Arizona shares a border with China and not Mexico or Canada. If it smells like “SCHMIDT” then it is! Someone needs to waterboard John McCain being that it isn’t torture and maybe he will have a clue as to what world, what planet, what geographical mistakes he continues to make at the age of 72 100% disabled and out-of-touch extremist blah, blah, blah, everytime he gets in front of teleprompter or Good Morning America’s Diane Sawyer. I think she reminds him of Vickie, Vickie Vale from Batman.
