Too late, World News Daily beat you to it.
Ah, glorious schadenfreude. The slash taxes and cut spending crowd are now realizing that all those bills that the state has can’t be paid without revenue, and that when you cut spending without any thought being put into it, you can’t pay for necessary services. Existing pensions and other essential operating costs have to be funded. These people campaigned on cut-state-income-tax platforms, then got a glimpse of the yawning chasm at their feet and rapidly back-pedaled. Even the dipshit from Kansas is having to rethink his idiotic policies.
Grover Norquist, that hero of fucktards everywhere, is condemning them, as are the Tea Baggers in Congress who don’t have to be bothered by dwindling quality of life in their far-flung empires.
In other news, I heartily endorse the blackballing of adaher in this thread (which I think I proposed a page or two back). He’s a fucking troll of the worst kind, whose mission in life here is to disrupt, derail, and spread ignorance with a trowel.
No, just stop that. You are going to confuse people. wnd**.**com is World Net Daily. There is no “World News Daily”, though there appears to be an alliumesqe
“alliumesqe?” Da fuq?
The problem is that the tax hikes proposed are mainly regressive. Sales taxes and sin taxes being the two biggest. No doubt they’ll also promote more gambling.
All those things bother the Kochs not one iota.
I think you underestimate the stupidity of gap tooth voters. In Tennessee the anti-abortion, holier than thou guy who forced two of his mistresses to have abortions got re-elected easily.
I believe the thread you are looking for is “Stupid Liberal ideas of the day”. They’d love to have you; been rather a dearth of contributions so far.
Down the hall, second door on the left (of course).
Of course. They know that raising (or instituting, in the case of Alaska) an income tax would never make it into law, and would terminate their careers in short order. Governing on the right is mostly about protecting one’s own paycheck first and foremost.
Correction: It is really World Nut Daily 
And that article from RationalWiki is one of the few times I totally approve of the snark directed to the subject.
WND does deserve to be laughed at:

Well it’s not so much a law as it is a provision of the KY Constitution. I don’t think the age of it should factor in here as we legal arguments are made constantly on Constituional amendments almost twice as old, having to do with technology the founding fathers couldn’t have possibly imagined at the time of its writing.
And who knows? On its face, it may be be a reasonable argument, with two caveats.
-
is, or could, drunk driving in KY be a felony? If so, this argument is inapplicable.
-
by making this argument, his lawyer is admitting that this guy was consuming alcohol and over the legal limit during a time when he was supposed to be on duty serving the public. To me, that can’t play well. But what do I know? I’m not a Kentucky voter.
This seems the most logical place to ask…
What’s this I hear about Benjamin Netanyahu being invited to address congress and Obama not knowing about it?
As far as I’m concerned, if the President is going to take the attitude that he can go around Congress to make changes to law he doesn’t like, Congress can conduct foreign policy without involving the President.
Jew lover.
Remember how the Republicans in Congress wanted to preface every action they took with a citation from the Constitution granting them the authority to do what they were doing?
Yeah, neither do they.
Actually, they can have whoever they want speak before Congress. Unlike many of the President’s actions, there is no question at all about the legality of what they are doing. And Congress’ foreign policy powers, should they choose to exercise them, are every bit as expansive as their commerce powers. Congress has just historically chosen to defer to the executive(especially since there’s no money in foreign policy for their constituents). But if the President is going to go around Congress when Congress won’t enact his domestic policy desires, they can just go around the President when he’s not conducting foreign policy as they desire.
Hey, don’t confuse Netanyahu fandom with Jew-loving.
Have we established yet whether “Netanyahu” is a Hebrew name or a Houyhnhnm one? Because the meaning of -yahu is very different in those two languages. 
Here.
Even some of Fox News commentators are taking Obama’s side.
In a vacuum, I’d agree with Fox. I was angry when Eric Cantor went to Israel to conduct some freelance foreign policy that was at odds with the President’s.
However, this is the whole Congress, not just individual Congressmen, and I’d bet a LOT of Democrats support this move. Secondly, Congress and the Presidency are co-equal. If the President seeks to expand his power to include the ability to alter legislation as he sees fit, then Congress has every right to test the limits of its foreign policy powers. The President abandoned proper separation of powers first. Let’s see how he likes being undermined the same way he has undermined the laws Congress has duly passed, in bipartisan fashion.
This isn’t about legal criticism – it’s just a stupid move. It makes it look like the Republicans are trying to help Netanyahu win his election, and Netanyahu is trying to hurt Obama politically (probably because this is actually what’s going on!). Former Israeli ambassador Michael Oren (who was actually nominated by Netanyahu!) is heavily criticizing the move, and he’s not the only one by far.
The speech is 6 weeks away – I think there’s a good chance Netanyahu cancels or “reschedules”. Good analysis here.
