A recent L.L. Bean catalog features a timeline of noteworthy events in the company's history. The most recent event illustrates what a crock the whole Republican "Job Creators create more jobs when they get bigger tax breaks" talking point is. Follow me over the Fleur du Kos to see why.

So Dubya was all over teh teevee last night mongering fear. Again. The sky is falling (even though the economy was strong just last month) and something drastic must be done. Everyone knows the story by now: we absolutely must give $700 billion to Henry Paulson immediately so he can save us all from imminent disaster, nevermind that he helped create this whole mess in the first place, both as CEO of Goldman Sachs and as Secretary of the Treasury. It's the way Republicans do government: they allow the people who create problems, due to either gross incompetence or willful action, to determine and implement the solutions to the problems they themselves created. If Paulson gets his way, what he will do with this money will be left to his sole discretion, and Congress won't even be allowed to ask because we're told that doing so would hinder the recovery process. Or something.

Neocons absolutely love John McCain. They believe he has even more potential than their current hero, George W. Bush. Gabriel Nathan Schwartz is representative of the breed. Schwartz got his 15 minutes of fame when he got taken to the cleaners for $50,000 at the Republican National Convention by a clever con artist who promised him sex, and did end up screwing him, but in a manner that had nothing to do with getting laid. You can read all the sordid details here. While everyone loves a good sex scandal, the really revealing part of the story (pun not intended) is below the fold.
