A license to get a license, a fee to get an application, the joy of collecting bills.

When you are a one man operation it is a lot of work and a lot of tension.

Oh and Rush Limbaugh is right. If you want to really appreciate how much you are paying in taxes, try paying them without large amounts of withholding. You will really get it. It’s like the prices at rental places. It seems small but the end result is pretty high.

but I saw this via Dan Riehl’s tweet and my jaw rolled off, and dumped itself somewhere between the table and the TV.

Just one month after his estranged wife Elizabeth succumbed to her battle with cancer, the Enquirer reports that the former presidential candidate has popped the question, asking Hunter to marry him and purchasing a $3.5 luxury beachfront home for the couple and their toddler daughter.

Now with the stipulation that it is better for the kid (who has no responsibility for any of this) to grow up with her father and mother together the suddenness of all is really unnerving.

Remember if it was up to the media none of this would ever have been reported.

David Ignatius took less that 48 hours after the new republican congress to be in office to lead with this headline:

Is Darrell Issa the new Joe McCarthy?

The meat of the article is even worse:

When you see the righteous gleam in Issa’s eye, recall other zealous congressional investigators who claimed to be doing the public’s business but ended up pursuing vendettas. I think of Robert F. Kennedy’s ruthless pursuit of labor “racketeering” when he was chief counsel of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. And, more chilling, I think of Sen. Joseph McCarthy’s use of that subcommittee to probe what he imagined was Communist Party subversion in America.

I don’t think the POST PARTISAN column needs to be renamed. I just think it needs to have punctuation added. Name it. POST: PARTISAN! At least that would be accurate.

Because the last time this happened was when Harry Reid’s prediction and we all remember how accurate that was.
