Fake it ’til you make it, Jugheadnew

The most popular guy in town — good looking and oblivious to what’s going on around him — won’t sacrifice his personal time for work, but his (Tea Party) friends know how to get him motivated.

Does Obamamania Prove Racism is Dead?new
Could it be that race really doesn't matter that much anymore and we really have reached the "content of our character" moment in history? This is disturbing, because I will have to change my worldview on race if it's true. It's comforting for the same reason. If true, this is very cool.

Is This the Best Kentucky Can Do?new
The state suffers from a double-whammy: high personal-income tax rates, which discourage individual investment, and high corporate tax rates, which poison the entrepreneurial atmosphere and keep residents dependent on Frankfort to bribe companies via outrageous incentives to expand or open new facilities.
