Audacity of Truth
"Change" You Can Believe In:
"Nixon didn’t try to do that. They couldn't control (the media). They didn’t try. [...] What the hell do they think we are, puppets?"

Tuesday open thread
Here’s your open thread for today.
I’ll start it off with my thoughts on Barry Bonds’ hitting his 715th HR this past weekend, passing Babe Ruth’s 714 to become #2 on the most career homeruns list. The only one left to catch now is Hank Aaron, who holds the record at 755 HRs.
Bonds is not ruling out a return to baseball next year, so assuming he’s healthy, he’ll be back because his ego is too big to miss out on the opportunity to pass Hank Aaron’s record.
I just cannot get excited about him passing Ruth’s record. Not just because of the steroids controversy (see more here) but because he’s just an all-around jerk. Of course we don’t get to pick and choose those who breaks records.
Are there many people out there, outside of Giants’ fans (and the person who catches HR #756), who are excited about Bonds’ inching closer to Aaron’s record?

On an unrelated sports note, don’t forget the Hurricanes play the Sabres tonight in Buffalo – game six game time is 7:30 PM ET. If the ‘Canes win tonight, they’ll go on to face Edmonton in the finals. If it goes to seven games, game seven will be played in Raleigh Thursday night.
WED AM UPDATE: The ‘Canes lost in a heartbreaker last night: 2-1 in OT.

Jim and Lorica,
Liberals do so think of themselves as the highest evolution of man. They think they are better than anyone else and treat all non-fellow travellers with contempt. The only “liberals” they disavow are Stalin, Pol Pot, and Mugabe because they massively killed people, but only a grudging disavowal.
PCD, Clinton said it best when he said “They the Government know better on how to spend your money than you who earned it”. That is one of the liberal visions they would take your whole paycheck and give you back what they deem you need.
Early in the Clinton Administration, Lloyd Bentsen said that the Clinton Admin wanted to lower interest rates to enable taxpayers to pay more taxes.
The reasoning was if you weren’t paying so much interest to banks, you could pay more in taxes.
