The Wopper Institute, located in Anvil Kansas, has just released a press teaser detailing it's intent to publish an op-ed article in The New York Times covering the initial summary page of the much anticipated Wopper Taxation Study which is stated to be the longest horizontal-based population study of all taxation ever collected over most of the last one thousand years. The summary page, to be released on Nov 9 just after election day 2012, will purportedly present convincing evidence proving scientifically the intuitive, though previously unexamined concept, that there have always been periods of significant economic buoyancy(2), immediately(1) following tax cuts... at least since the dark ages.

Quotes from the Presidential candidates:

"Buoyancy sure sounds good to me! hehe"
-- Mitt Romney

"I hate to be forced to point out that a study of this scope and nature is bound to be misleading and therefore ultimately false. I wouldn't be surprised to see many ads touting it's conclusions however..."
-- President Obama

more details about the summary page over the fold

It's so hard to find a true friend.

First step is to come up with an idea which you wish to prove true. For instance, that Iraq had a partnership with Al-Qeada, or perhaps, equally plausible to those that know better, that the moon is made of green cheese...

David Gregory is compromised yet again

David Gregory is notable in my mind for dancing on stage and on camera with Karl Rove. At the time he was the White House correspondent for NBC news. I thought that was ridiculous for a so-called serious journalist.

Of Late he is notable for being the MSNBC 'star' who is often called upon to bore us with his attempts to 'balance' out Keith Olberman's advocacy for reality.

Finally, while punditizing about the mortgage crisis this morning on Morning Joe, he slipped in just one small teeny fact of his personal connection to that very subject...

David Gregory's wife was GENERAL COUNSEL TO FANNIE MAE / FREDDIE MAC. Far be it from him to recluse himself from publicly working to shape the public's perception of our current crisis involving those very institutions.

Traditional Media at it's finest.

UPDATE: DAVID! .. not DICK. Sorry I can't seem to correct the Poll!

UPDATE: I've been told down below that she's GC of just Fannie Mae... I don't care enough about that detail to confirm it.

UPDATE: I actually originally wrote 'recuse' but my spell checker confused me into using 'recluse'... and so through not atypical laziness I used the wrong word!
