Pay It Forward
*** begin quote ***
“Mad Men” there is a great quote. Bert (the founder of the ad agency) tells Don (the main character) “that Sacajawea crossed the country with a baby on her back, and somewhere there’s a baby who thinks he discovered the Pacific Ocean”.

Here’s admirable advice with a great TV quote as a memory “hook”.
Remember Sacajawea’s baby!

Glen Beck has Laffer ont he TV show today. He says with 11% will fully fund the gooferment today at current levels. He points out that Jerry Brown want it at 13%, with the extra 2% to pay off the national debt.
Why not?
Other than taxes ARE theft! (If I’m going to be robbed, then I’m for them stealing much much less.)
Argh!

“Try this thought experiment. Pretend you’re a tyrant. Among your many liberty-destroying objectives are extermination of blacks, Jews and Catholics. Which would you prefer, a United States with political power centralized in Washington, powerful government agencies with detailed information on Americans and compliant states or power widely dispersed over 50 states, thousands of local jurisdictions and a limited federal government?” — Walter Williams

Obama leaves WH without press, breaking protocol
(AP) – 17 hours ago
*** begin quote ***
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama quietly breached years of protocol on Saturday morning by leaving the White House without the press with him.
*** end quote ***
Hey, no big deal, the “dear leader” is above the “rules”, agreements, or protocols. Argh!

>I bet Tiger Woods would like to “forget” to have the pres come along.
The Press over the years have mellowed. They didn’t report, for some really egregious examples, FDR in a wheelchair, JFK’s “catholic” sexacpades, and Clinton’s white water. (Those just jump to mind.)
The DOWGs had in their mind, and typical for their day, a nasty press: The National Enquirer! Hence it needed protection. The Press was supposed to be nasty and in your fce. That’s how you sold papers. But, over the decades, The Press’ killer instinct atrophied.
They don’t go for the jugular. They don’t report the hard unvarnished truth. They “spin”. Now they’re virtual xerox machines for politician’s talking points. That’s why they are dying.
Tiger’s hypocritical image should have been shredded.
The failure of the cops and prosecutors to arrest and indict should still be front page news.
Imagine if his name wasn’t Tiger?
So too, OBH44 gets to conceal his papers and is pimped by a docile media.
Real journalism is left to the wacko websites and us bloggers.
So sad!

Now when the paparazzi camp outside the WH and chase the Prez a la Princess Diana, everyone can thank BHO44 for breaking “the rules”?
Argh!
The “boy king” knows so little and has so little appreciation of the long term implications of what he does. This is just a little example of his hubris.
