4 Pawlenty has hired Nick Ayers as his campaign manager.  Rick Klein calls this a "big get."

Born in 1982,  Ayers' parents are democrats and he told The New Republic he was "high on Clinton" back in the 90's.  He's from Cobb County,  Georgia.

So, Pawlenty has hired a 28-year old from one of the few Cobb County residents that actually liked Bill Clinton.  This does not sound like a "big get" to me.  It sounds like most of the campaign people know that Pawlenty doesn't have a chance.

Washington Post column says this guy was one of the top 6 uncommitted operatives for the campaign.  Who decides that he is that big a deal?  He has never run a presidential campaign and his noted accomplishments are working for the Republican governors,and Prebius transition at the RNC.

Posted by: Mister Diddy Wah Diddy at April 11, 2011 03:56 AM (z6uLs)

24 Regarding my comment on Nick Ayers (who has a most unfortunate last name),  apparently the Washington Post and its allies decide who is hot in the campaign strategy department,  and then these types of people get more publicity and are considered by candidates.

I think this is a bad way for candidates to operate.  It is a stealth way for the media to exert influence over the GOP.

And that is why so many of the campaign people seem less than smart and conservative,  at least to me.

Liar & Chief finally puts it in the front

He had been hiding all his tax hikes in bills disguised as other shit. Now he is out front with it.

He also will call for tax increases for people making over $250,000 a year, a proposal contained in his 2012 budget, and changing parts of the tax code he thinks benefit the wealthy.

Gee, where have we heard this before? Tax the rich, rich ultimately winds up being anyone who actually works for a living instead of a welfare queen who has babies for a living.

38 #35  You know,  I read a book by David Geletner called 1939:  The Lost World of the Fair.  It is a discussion of how different Americans of 1939 (New York World's Fair) are from today.

One thing he mentions is that it happened that year that someone mistakenly unloaded a load of boxes of DYNAMITE on a street in Harlem and left it there.  And no one touched it.  It stayed there until someone realized it had been mistakenly delivered to the wrong address.  I don't tink that would happen today.

Somewhere along the way Americans have lost the idea of honor,  something the Japanese still have.  I really think we need to bring back guilt and shame.

44 Worse to worst:

Afghanistan's central bank has taken over Kabul Bank but has not yet said if it plans to sell off Kabul Bank, which plays a key role in the Afghan economy by handling payrolls for government workers and security forces.
from Breitbart:

Pres. Karzai announced today that foreign advisers share a large part of the blame for the country's banking crisis and will face criminal investigation along with the bank managers and shareholders. "Fraudulent loans were used to divert $850 million to insiders. This amount reportedly represented 94 percent of the bank's outstanding loans," according to an unnamed US government report this month. The IMF has strongly suggested that Kabul Bank be placed into receivership and then quickly sold off as part of a broader effort to stabilize the country's shaky financial system. U.S. Treasury Department officials agreed with the recommendation. Karzai did not address this point. Karzai also said that the Afghan government is moving forward with a process to formalize the country's relationship with the United States as international military forces turn more control over security to Afghan troops.

45 Abortion services are 95% of [Planned Parenthood's] business; this was in their latest financial disclosures. In any case, they also posted a 1 billion dollar profit in 2007 and their director makes well over a million a year... there simply isn't a need for them to be federally funded. If you're a Leftist and you want to kill babies and you want to support that, then you can - directly. It boils down to: they don't need the money, we don't have the money, its morally controversial at best; racial genocide at the worst - what are you fighting for, exactly?

Iowa enacted the first State cigarette tax. Today the average price of a pack of cigarettes is over $5.00. 55% of that is taxes. About 20 cents is the actual cost of the product, the rest is taxes or the huge BS "tobacco settlement" which should have been labeled as an illegal extortion tax.

Michael Yon, "Last Man Standing" from Afghanistan, April 5, 2011

This isnÂ’t the endgame.  But the battle for 2011 is unfolding before our eyes.  Recent observations suggest that it will be the most deadly so far. As the Afghan war wears on and politicians, diplomats and generals thrust and parry about an endgame, one thing is clear: The outcome of this war will be decided by the last man standing. Who that will be, and what has to happen before everyone else quits the field, are the questions that remain unanswered.

...Yon covers US tax funded Afghan projects including the sticky finger fraud squandering most money on non-Afghan middle-men contracting agencies pocketing funds that disappear into thin air. But Yon reports with one contracting agency bent to be the last contracting company standing in Afghanistan, gutsy enough to function legitimately and directly on the ground with the Afghan workers, funded by US tax dollars but not US military.

Faux News reporting that one or more Business Schools is/are interested in hiring Bernard Madoff to teach business ethics. Sounds about right. I'm guessing the interested Schools are Ivy League, no?

but really, using Madoff to teach Ethics would be a waste. On the other hand, he is ideally suited to act as Czar in charge of rescuing Social Security. Does anyone have a finer understanding of Ponzi schemes than Madoff?

65 dagny,  You  B-i-l is operating now in a culture for which there is no cultural opprobation for such activity.  50 years ago even atheists were held in line by the peer disapproval such behavior would have earned.

We have a cultural void as far as morals and ethics,  and the media (spit) does everything it can to mock and destroy anyone who still has character. (See George Bush,  Sarah Palin, anyone who is religious, Tea Party members,  etc. etc.)

64  There are still quite a few people at the Camille Paglia level of last year: the prez is a "good person with good ideas and I support him because I'm a Democrat and a liberal" who is simply letting too many incompetent advisors and a corrupt Congress run him over.  They approve of him, but not any of the people surrounding him...but they are starting to think he may be lacking in gonads.  At least that's what I've heard -- that's the defense to any criticisms of him now (and a mighty weak defense it is...with a look of inner turmoil and doubt as they reach into their wallets for gas and grocery money). 

Stages of grief and all that -- some people cling to it more tightly than others.

70 #75  I was a democrat and voted for Jimmy Carter.  That is the last democrat I ever voted for.

The mental state is such that you have to finally admit to yourself that you made a mistake.  This is hard for people to do,  and especially with Obama in whom so many were heavily invested emotionally as well as intellectually.  Back in the late 70's,  I would get mad at Carter and then figure that he would do better on the next issue.  Then he would make me angry yet again on something else,  but I would bounce back, albeit with less enthusiasm.

I think the failed hostage rescue mission was the last straw for me. By the time November,  1980 rolled around,  I was at my voting booth at 6AM voting a straight Republican ticket led by Reagan.  My exact thought (not being very well educated about Reagan) was "He cannot do any worse,  and at least he won't be embarrassing."

This may be why Trump has a chance.  There are a lot of people who are uncomfortable with Obama but cannot bring themselves to support someone like Pawlenty Romney,  or Palin.  But Trump sort of stands apart and doesn't have the same aura that regular Republicans do.  I wouldn't underestimate him.

77 Rich C,  I am not hating on him,  but why in the world is the media treating him like he's some sort of boy wonder?   He doesn't have the resume to live up to that level of hype.

And for sure I am not going to discount someone who used to be a democrat;  I used to be one myself.  But that background only a few years ago,  coupled with his lack of experience in running a national campaign,  makes it look to me more like Pawlenty took who he could get,  and the media is coloring it as a "A-list get" in order to prop up Pawlenty.

87 My dad says that trump is what a "conservative democrat" looked like "in his day".  My dad says there is no more room in the democratic party for anyone who doesn't lean all the way to the left and beyond so guys like bloomie and trump have to go republican.  If the republicans can manage to take the "legislating morality" issue off the table then their "brand" would be more desirable to most people with a brain.  Problem is, they always allow the dems to bring up the moral and philosophical crap and that's what trips them up.

"I think he must have forgotten that I have 11 brothers and sisters and my dad owned a bar"

Wow, that Robert Samuelson opinion piece was pretty clear and to the point for the WAPO!

But I have to take issue with him mouthing the recurring liberal mantra of "Everyone wants to reduce spending, but nobody wants to give up any benefits."

Busllshit.  You can't claim that until the people have been asked to make sacrifices, realistic ones that are not just soak-the-rich schemes, and asked by a leader who can explain in compelling terms why they are neccessary for our survival, and not just more class-war demagogery!

That has never happened.

ps. Remember how the libs castigated Bush for not asking Americans to sacrifice in our response to 9-11?  Somehow they have forgotten how important that call to sacrifice was.  Of course, the reason it was important to the liberals then is that they desperately hoped Americans would tell GWB "NO".  Now they are afraid that the Tea Party spirit will imbue Americans with the will to find a way to say "YES"!

You know, use of bankruptcy to screw people, etc.
