I've done a courtesy search for the term cap and tax do or die for you. See if you can find what you're looking for in the list below:

• Thoughts On Personal Responsibilty

  Anybody that has ever held a job involving high risk, danger/peril or a stewardship involving the safety of others understands the concept of liability, the simple fact that with that duty comes a responsibility to act reasonable and prudent, and when venturing beyond those parameters, the repercussions can be great. A soldier falls asleep on guard duty and his company is over run by the enemy, an airline pilot reports to work drunk off his … Read more

• Class warriors think they have a new angle, but it is a big fail

  This morning I was watching some post SOTU interviews to catch up on the reactions to the speech. I turned off the TV before the speech ended, because there is just so much bullshit I can take in one sitting, and went to bed, a more productive use of my time, by far. So there they had a panel discussing the aftermath, and on it was with some lady from some institute for progressive something … Read more

• SOTU Open Thread

  I’ve never liked the whole State of the Union show, which smacks too much of a royal address. The endless applause, the pandering, the BS promises … Back to the written version please. Nevertheless, I’ll liveblog tonight’s version, offspring permitting.

  8:59: The big news today is that Mitt Romney release his tax returns and is paying an effective tax rate of 14%. If Obama were smart, he would use this a springboard to Simpson-Bowles … Read more

• More “green” magic!

  Check green this nonsense out:

  Oil companies will pay $6.8 million in fines for not meeting federal quotas for blending in cellulosic biofuels – those produced from grasses, wood and plants – even though there weren’t enough of those biofuels available for use, the New York Times reported. Those fines are likely to rise in 2012 because the cellulosic biofuel quotas that refiners have to meet will rise more than 30 percent to 8.65 million

• Profiles in Cowardice

  It’s the must-listen audio of the day as the “captain” of the Costa Concordia refuses to obey the Coast Guard’s increasingly angry demands that he return to his sinking ship:

  I ran this by a few native Italian speakers and they have told me the translation doesn’t quite capture the color of the Coast Guard’s language. At one point, he calls Schettino an Italian slang word for penis, the equivalent of calling him a little … Read more

• Political Graveyard

  Clearly, the position fraught with the most peril and liability has to be the chair person of the individual political party national committees. Many times I felt sorry for Michael Steele and the menu he was forced to peddle with the RNC(funny, but I never felt sorry for Howard Dean, maybe because he appeared so despicable to begin with) but the poster child for future photos on the back of milk cartons has to be … Read more

• That’s because they get it Part Deux.

  Manwhore issued me an infantile challenge to put up a post about education. I took some of his request and am writing about the value of an education vs. the cost to get it, and to make the point that there are no job guarantees. While doing the research, I came across a timely and telling story, in the NYT of all places, dealing with the fact, despite the NYT blatant attempt to spin this … Read more

• And Burn the Banks Down

  Part two of my posts on housing and banking.

  If you want to know why I have some shred of sympathy for OWS despite some of their repugnant behavior (that Kos link is priceless, BTW), here is the reason:

  Liberal protesters “occupying” Wall Street hate the big banks, which they see as the engine of capitalism. But conservatives ought to hate the big banks because they are the enemies of capitalism.

  In addition to the … Read more

• Oh, the irony..

  When GWB was president I often wondered if the left, when it projected bad behavior you practically always got for real from leftists on him, really couldn’t be bothered with what would come after. If you paid attention to your average leftard, Bush was constantly violating the constitution or behaving in a fascist manner. Of course, asking for specifics never produced anything, but the left KNEW the guy was a dangerous ideologue, hell bent on … Read more

• Democrat Senate kills 2nd Obama jobs bill: rape and murder to follow according to Veep!

  Yep, 2 democrats and Joe Lieberman from my state joined the republican minority in the democrat controlled Senate to kill another stinker of a bill, in a 50-50 vote that fell far short of the 10 votes needed to hit 60. It was too obvious that this stimulus–light bill, as written, amounted to nothing but funneling $35 billion to as Reid put it to shore up the bloated public sector that democrats buy votes … Read more
