Hey, check it out. President Obama is going to have an online townhall where he'll answer some of the questions asked by you. Do you think we could vote a FairTax question up high enough to be asked?

The next big battle brewing in Congress is over Barack Obama's budget that will increase the deficit more than $1.4 trillion next year.

Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says that Obama's budget will make the United States worse than Cuba.

The AIG battle continues .. turns out that there was another $53 million more in bonuses than was originally reported. More for the wealth-envy crowd to cry over.

This is comforting. A new report by the British government says that a nuclear or chemical attack on British soil is becoming increasingly more likely.

The Supreme Court will be deciding whether or not critical films of politicians like this "Hillary: The Movie" can be regulated during campaign season.

According to the latest Zogby polls, Barack Obama's approval ratings are dropping.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee unveiled an ad entitled, "Change We Can Believe In?"

So now the Obama administration says that it is going to EXPAND the program to train commercial airline pilots to carry guns and thwart terrorist attacks.

Chicago Mayor Richard Daley is actually privatizing many government functions such as law enforcement.

A bill to help newspaper companies restructure as nonprofits was introduced into the Senate yesterday.

OwlGore will have a new book out this year called "Our Choice" and I'll give you one guess as to what it is about.....

People who ordered Smart Cars when gas was expensive are now refusing to take them.

In Connecticut, drunken people don't actually have to drive their cars to be charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol.

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with the opening sentence of this story? "Three California families headed to a retreat for the ultrarich were among the 14 victims of a plane crash in Montana."

Just a little bit of pork set aside for a pig farm .. literally.

A council in Great Britain spent $44,000 on a spy plan that carries a thermal camera used to determine which houses are wasting too much energy.

Apparently in China you can no longer access YouTube. I suppose Communism and the controlling of information doesn't lend itself too well to websites like YouTube.

Barack Obama supposedly asked American Idol judge Simon Cowell if he wanted to do dinner .. but Simon was too busy. How absolutely fitting that Obama would want to nosh with the American Idol judge. "How am I doing?"

Today's strange story: wife handcuffs herself to husband and then bites him as he is on the phone with 911.

What others are saying

  • Real Question:
    Though asking him about the fairtax is a good idea. The real question is why is he doing a debate anymore? He won the Presidency. Doesn't he realize this? Or is he just so confident in his 'orating skills' which are 'so good' that he thinks he will win all converts that are not drenched in "right wing hate speech"?
  • Hillary: The Movie
    So, people are saying that "Hillary: The Movie" can be regulated/censored during campaign seasons? Didn't Oliver Stone release a movie about Bush during our last campaign season? Wasn't it close to (or during) a campaign season that Michael Moore's movies came out?
  • Simon was probably out making money
    And what he doesn't know is that for stiffing the Prez, Congress is going to slap a retroactive 90% tax on anything he makes
  • Obama on the Fair Tax
    In 2004 while he was running for the senate he parroted John Kerry in declaring that the Fair Tax was unfair to the poor. That just proves to me that he hasn't read the proposal, or would even want to. It doesn't do what Obama wants it to which is to make rich people poor, and poor people dependent on government, but it would be interesting to see just how dishonest he could be when he shoots down the Fair Tax... He would probably just dance around the question, and never actually answer it.
  • FAIRTAX!
    Can we get something organized on this? I see about 200 questions currently being asked about the fairtax. Let pick one and hit it hard.
  • DUI in connecticut
    wait till we find out he was one of the AIG bonus people....

    but, in all seriousness, in oklahoma you don't even have to have the car running. you can get an actual physical control ticket while you are asleep in the car, and your keys are on your person.

    you basically have to throw the keys into a nearby field and hope to find them the next day to keep from getting that ticket or a DUI/DWI here.
  • DUI
    Huntsville, AL, if both you and the keys are in the car, and you're over the limit, it's a DUI. No chance to make a somewhat responsible choice and sleep it off. You're better off taking your chances.
  • Fair tax question for online town hall
    If Stephen Colbert can get his viewers to vote his name for the room at the international space station then your listeners should have no problem getting a question online
  • Zogby
    I'm a little weary of Zogby. Didn't they predict that McCain was going to win the election?
  • re: AIG and "More for the wealth-envy crowd to cry over"
    If it wasn't MY money being used for the bonus, I wouldn't be "crying".

    The Democrats started this economic train wreck back in 2004 with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and compounded this disaster by using our taxes to bail out their own mistakes.

    If the SHAREHOLDERS foot the bill for an outrageous bonus to a CEO responsible for running a corporation into the ground, that’s bad enough, but it’s on them.
    On the other hand, an enterprise that fails through mismanagement or government interference, shouldn’t be rewarded, especially with OUR money.
    The government has no business sticking its micro-managing nose into corporate business, unless laws have been broken.

    Corporations like AIG shouldn’t even exist long enough to pay the bonuses. Like the rest of the failed corporations, they should be liquidated.

    Executives have a stake in the success or failure of a business. When it succeeds, you profit, when it fails, you get hit. That’s part of the consequences for taking risks in a free market system.

    The bailouts and the contractual promises for a bonus were financed with money taken from taxpayers.

    I don't envy the rich or pity the poor.
  • Plane Crash
    The family that are the principals in Glen Helen Raceway may have become the "elite" in the eyes of the news, but to motocross riders everywhere in the US these people owned a piece of heaven. It's a sad day for this family, but the family's history is rich and deeply rooted in family interaction. They don't deserve to be tagged as something that reflects negativism. Glen Helen is a national treasure to the motocross world. Our deepest respects for the loss of lives. Godspeed.
  • Plane Crash in MT
    Can anyone tell me what is wrong with the opening sentence of this story? "Three California families headed to a retreat for the ultrarich were among the 14 victims of a plane crash in Montana."

    -----


    Neil, WSB's own Monica Kaufmann reported that the plane was headed to a "resort for millionaire's"
  • Re: Spy Plane in Britain
    This is the result of statism--the nanny state, whatever you wish to call it. It's liberal insanity in its purest form...big brother flying/spying over your home, deciding if your energy consumption is detrimental to the "common good"...and then digging into your pocketbook and/or confiscating your assets in the name of the state?

    How soon before the liberal goons in Congress try to pull this on law-abiding Americans?
  • Sorry to say Neal, but TOTUS won't...
    ....take any Fair Tax questions. That would only interfere with "his" plans.
  • Spy Plane
    Um, don't thermal spy planes burn up greenhouse gases? How is this saving the planet?
  • CT Drunken Law
    Oops, i meant "defendant"...
  • CT drunken law
    At least the plaintiffs were appropriately named!
  • Private Security
    Surprised no one else commented on this yet.

    I think its a good idea. Different agencies could supply a bid to a city or county just like any other corporate contract. If they fail to do the job, hire someone else.

    As per them being private, if they have the same training and equipment (or even better) the only difference is the state run police have the government seal of approval. Testament to gov. schooling when the common people say "Oh, they're government, so it must be ok."
  • Obama's "OpenForQuestions"
    It's quite obvious that the majority of the questions are from Obamabots.

    The vast majority are about legalizing marijuana on EVERY subject. While I agree that the "war on drugs" has and will always be a vast waste of money that is better spent on treatment it's telling what "Americas" priorities are.

    The other majority have to do with "forcing companies to bring jobs back to the U.S." through more penalties that forced them OUT of the U.S. in the first place.

    Lastly you get a ton of questions on "what is the Government going to do for me"

    I wonder how many people were stoned when they voted for Obama O_o

    I also wonder how long it will take for any non favorable questions to be removed.
  • Voting for a FairTax question
    I'm seconding the commenter that suggested a push for a SPECIFIC FairTax question. When I searched the list there were 77 questions. If we pick just one to click on we'll have a much better impact
  • Newspapers as nonprofits
    If I understand nonprofit status correctly, you are prohibited from endorsing any political candidate.
  • Ultrarich
    Some of the family members involved in the tragedy were doctors. If doctors become government employees under covernment-run healthcare, will they still be able to afford "ultrarich" vacations of will those destinations be reserved for Washington bureaucrats?
  • The President
    When is this man going to realize that he already won the election and he's got the office for the next 4 years? Does he have such low self-esteem that he feels the need to be out there in front of us every night, in almost every outlet, trying to sell us on the snake oil he and the other Dems are selling? Hopefully the American public is waking up and realizing that someone who has to push this hard must be trying to pull something over on us. Wise up America, look closely at this man and you'll see that not all is what you think it is. He's definitely up to something (a whole lot of something) and we are all going to pay the price.
  • Obama's budget
    What budget? He has got control over our "credit card" with no limit and he and the liberal Democrats have gone wild.
    Cancel this credit card for non payment.
  • Dumb people refusing smart cars
    Don't these people know that gas prices are expected to go up to $10 a gallon? And, with hyperinflation, they will not be able to get these smart cars later.
  • Obamas townhall
    If you go to the townhall you will notice that there is obviously a campaign underway to saturate the questions with the legalization of pot issue.Its on every topic.It will be hard to drive a Fairtax question to the top with all these kids sitting around at home voting up their favorite subject.
  • Driving Under The Influence
    Over 40 years ago (1967), Connecticut law defined "operating a motor vehicle" as "sitting in the driver's seat with the engine running". It hasn't changed.
  • Internet censorship in China and elsewhere
    For anyone interested, there are many ways of getting around Internet censorship. Go to http://vidalia-project.net and the related http://www.torproject.net. If these don't work to get around censorship in your internet connection, try https://www.jondos.de/en/jondonym. If you can't install software on your computer, such as at work or an Internet cafe, get a flash drive or external hard drive and get the portable apps platform from http://portableapps.com. This lets you run a whole collection of programs from your portable drive (even your cell phone or iPod!) without having to install them on almost any computer. Then go back to the https://www.jondos.de/en/jondonym site and download the "portable" version. It works with portableapps and the FireFox browser in there. There are other ways to do it, just google search for "internet anonymity" and /or "internet anti-censorship". I've mentioned Vidalia/Tor and JonDo/JonDo portable because I use them almost every day and they work for me. The best part is, they are FREE!
  • Questions to Obama on Fairtax
    Go to the link to the White House questions and in the search box type in Fair Tax and all of the Fair Tax questions submitted will appear. You can vote on these questions or submit your own.
  • Rolling Stones
    Read that O-man gave us the largest middle class tax cuts in history. Did I miss something?

    Saw this sticker this morning -
    I'll keep my guns, freedom, and money, you keep the 'change'
  • Fairtax Questions, Obama Townhall
    There are 30 or so Fairtax related questions that have been submitted for the townhall. Perhaps you could pick one question specifically for folks to key in on as you drive them to this site to vote.
  • DUI Laws
    In Metro Atlanta we call that pulling a Hosea (Miss you dude!)
  • Online Questions from PrezBO
    I submitted the following question within the Financial Stability section of the White House site...
    When looking at change to believe in, why not move forward with the Fair Tax? This would eliminate the penalty on saving for the future and allow for the collection of tax income from unreported income (i.e. black market/illegal drug money).
  • Obama wasting time
    Seeing that Obama is going to have an online townhall..... I wonder if he wastes time twittering as well?
  • Smart Cars
    I saw a Smart Car one day and thought - how cute, what is it?

    I read about it and it doesn't get much more gas mileage (31 mpg their WWW said) than "nicer" alternatives.

    I would rather have something a little more solid.
  • DUI Laws
    You don't actually have to be driving to get a DUI in Georgia, either. The key concept is 'Actual Physical Control.' Sitting in the driver's seat of a running (but parked) car is enough to warrant probable cause for a DUI arrest.
  • Plane Crash
    I saw that article and the comment about the ultrarich and thought "how irrelevant is that?"

    These people were going on a vacation with family and friends. What difference does it make WHERE they were going? I looked at the faces of those children and all I could see was the pain the grandparents must be feeling.

    Don't people realize that we are all human no matter how much money we make or don't make?
  • Some newspapers are already non profit
    Some papers are already non profit. This is why they are going bankrupt. Think about it.
