Wow, some days the links just poor in and it is hard to keep up.
First (via Talking Points Memo), our friends at the WSJ seem to have been stewing over the unwashed masses who don't seem to pay enough taxes (Dionne in this article via the Washington Post). Isn't this the proverbial class warfare we are always hearing so much about? It's so hard being one of the elite and not having those "lucky duckie" working poor sympathize with you!.
Second (via Rantomatic), let me get this straight, the contact info on every school child in America is required to be given to the military for recruiting purposes??? What the F***!!! My favorite quote is the following:
"The only thing that will get us to stop contacting the family is if they call their congressman," says Major Johannes Paraan, head U.S. Army recruiter for Vermont and northeastern New York. "Or maybe if the kid died, we'll take them off our list."
My goodness, wouldn't want to allow ordinary citizens to refuse to play the game now would we.
Third, Molly Ivins has weighed in on the evolving big brotherism in America.
